HALFORD!

[Tall Tyrion]

Anyone get the new Halford album besides me and Ken? This thing is killer!

[Brian Sammons]

No, I didn't even know he did one. Awesome, thanks for the heads up.

At the risk of being beaten...

Who is Halford?

[Steerpike]

I haven't heard it. But then, the only Priest albums I like are Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin After Sin, and Stained Class. I don't know why, but I never got into them after that. Not even with British Steel.

What about Ripper Owens after Priest? I liked his stuff with Iced Earth, but apparently he has his own band now. Anyone heard it?

Who is Halford?

Uhm, what? Only the metal god himself! One of the best voices ever. The Beast that is the Priest! Or you can just call him Rob Halford, lead singer for Judas Priest.

And Steerpike, I like a load of JP, with one of my favorites being Painkiller. As for Ripper Owens, I kind of liked the 1st Priest album with him, but hated the second one he was on. I sort of dug him with Iced Earth, but honestly I was very happy to see Matt Barlow return as he is the voice of IE for me. I haven't heard Ripper's new solo stuff, but I would bet it's good. Regardless, you just reminded me of it, so thanks, I'll have to give it a listen.

Ah, my dearest Damein.

In the dictionary, under metal gods there is a picture of this man:

Brian:

Yeah, I like Matt Barlow a lot.

I may have to give some other Priest albums a try. I never really listened to Painkiller, for example. I stopped after Hell Bent for Leather and British Steel.

What about Ripper Owens after Priest?

I've heard a rumor that he and Lou St. Paul are going to be working on a new Winter's Bane cd, but nothing has appeared so far...

[dgrintalis]

Ah...I now understand. He's the guy that had opera training, right? Someone once told me that, a long, long time ago.

Not too sure of his formal training, but he certainly has that sort of range and power.

MADE OF METAL is great. It's rarely left my player since I bought it.

I don't listen to it everyday or anything, but it is still in my seven cd home stereo changer. Regular rotation.
