he still amazes me to this day...he doesn't play traditional chords...he mashes 'em up pretty good...

Do you know when he started playing guitar?

no, but I DO know he started out doing Willie Dixon/blues tunes though...

The blues in him is most obvious. Couldn't have Sab without the blues.

hey, have any of you seen the rocumentary called "Heavy Metal Parking Lot"?

It was filmed here (DC) in 1986, and it featured the tailgate party before the Judas Priest/Dokken show at the Capital Centre (which THEN became known as US Air Arena, THEN was torn down)....god I'm old...

Anyway, I was there and never knew it was being done....at least, to MY KNOWLEDGE heh heh...At any rate...

Have any of you seen it, and is it available for watching on the www?

I'd love to see it, and recall some of the knuckleheads I remember being there...that WAS a bumpin' tailgater....Of course, that was a tradition here, so it was just one day-in-the-life of the DC metalheads...

The best metal here these days is STILL Fugazi...They kept the attititude that Metallica sold out to...TO THIS DAY

there's a California version too, before an AC/DC show out there in '91 (I believe)....

VH1 has been showing clips of it....but alas, METAL MONTH is over today...

Metal month may be over, but never forget:

From an unknown land and through distant skies came a winged warrior.
Nothing remained sacred, no one was safe from the Hellion as it uttered its battle cry... SCREAMING FOR DISCO!

So, did anyone here hear the Rockline with Priest? What do you all think of the new album's concept (about the life of Nostradamus, for those not in the know yet)?

If it's a CONCEPT album, that would be sweet...

But, just the CONCEPT of Nostradamus....I dunno....

unless of course, they change their name to Nostradamus Priest!!!

hey...that would RULE!!!!!

Gonna be a concept album and they are going to play the whole thing during the next tour.

Cool! But, I'm wondering if they're copycatting Queensrhyche?

(That's right I said Queensrhyche....Your homeboys, and one of my FAVES...Saw three of their shows here, and NEVER left disappointed!) ;headbang:

Bad Siggy, bad!

Copying Queensrhyche? *sigh* Oh dear.

Besides....I'm from Los Angeles. I live in Washington, but home is Los Angeles.

iknowiknow....*covers up and cringes from beatdown*

I almost thought Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny was a concept album....you know, from "Island of Domination" to "Ripper", "Dreamer/Deceiver", etc....

I STILL put that platter on the 'table to this day...(I have the original GEM import vinyl copy since I was 17) schhhhwwwweeeeet
