So, what have you been listening to lately?

Cute - and it’s obviously so darn cold they have a little issue pitching properly.

Question: Do you really need four (!) guitarists to play this tune? 

[uwe]

Just like Hamburgers, I like my Priest with a little cheese, third track from the forthcoming album ventures into the melodic 80ies …



I think he’s singing about his pre-coming out days. He’s been with his life partner, an ex-Marine (who had never heard of Rob or Judas Priest when they first met over a relationship-seeking ad, doesn’t really like heavy metal and avoids all Rob-related publicity and media attention like the plague), almost three decades now.

The Beatles seem to have the same effect on some girls today that they had many years ago.

Terry Kath was incredible.  I think his vocals are better in this version.

Yup, back in the day when seat humidity would automatically rise at those gigs. (And some of our more senior members here would exclaim "fish market!" most inaptly.  )

“not a dry seat in the house” was the expression I recall.

I agree. Keep in mind that the clip I posted was from three months before his death. Whatever the circumstances of his death, he was supposedly very unhappy at the time.

Oh, I see. Some people think it wasn't an accident?

[uwe]

Well, that's certainly an unusual choice of a cover for her, but nicely done.

That Chicago stuff is great too, Kath was a force of nature.

It was first reported as an apparent suicide. I doubt we'll ever know the truth.

That would be horrible if true. But I guess if Jimi Hendrix says you're a better guitarist, where do you go from there?
