I listened to the remixed and remastered Rocka Rolla and it's truly amazing. I saved Run of the Mill for last cuz I know it would make me emotional especially Rob's singing at the end. I'm so grateful the new owners of the Gull Recordings and Priest have reached an agreement to make this possible. Slava Ukraine.
I can't believe it's been 40 yrs... This is the album that I first heard Iron Maiden's "Aces High", and I had been playing bass for a while and fell in love with Maiden,... Still, to this day, I'm grateful for Steve Harris's inspiration, as well as Getty Lee's...
Live after Death Maiden is the one i want getting the extra discs from the Powerslave tour done extra nice. I geeked out as a kid with that double album and the video of it i love live music.
Rocka Rolla 50th Anniversary Release sounds amazing. I can't stop listening to it. Just playing top to bottom as I do things around the garage. PRIEST!!!
Being 58 years old, I remember Iron maiden releasing 12" singles with the single on one side and a couple of covers on the. B side. They would also release them in picture disc form. Iron Maiden were one of what I used to call "Bridge Bands " because they appealed to both Thrash Metal fans (like myself) and the glam fans, who were our nemeses. Other bridge bands were Judas Priest, Ozzy osbourne, Dio, Kiss, Accept, Scorpions and Obsession. Oddly enough, I saw Iron Maiden only once at the Orpheum Theater in Boston in 1981. They were opening for Judas Priest. Maiden were touring to promote "Killers" and Priest were promoting "Point Of Entry". I was in the front row. I saw Maiden with Paul Di'Anno, but not with Bruce Dickinson. I saw Priest again the night before I graduated from high school. They were promoting their worst album ever, "Turbo" and Dokken opened for them.
As long as Priest's re-recorded Rocka Rolla sounds like Sin After Sin mated with Killing Machine (Hell Bent for Leather), I think we'll all be happy with it. A serious note to Judas Priest: "Please DONT mess around and re-record your masterpiece Sad Wings Of Destiny.. Leave it as it is, a truly EPIC album needs no adjusting at all. You can't fix perfection!" Even the album cover is perfect🤘. 🤘☮️
I like that you gave us a teases of the 50th Anniversary of Rocka Rolla now i got to hear something. Ps If they do a 50th Anniversary remixed and Remastered like what they now did for Rocka Rolla for Sad wings of Destiny im gonna be happy. Think how much better the studio version of Victim of changes are going to sound and can be as good as the live versions and wonder how heavier Tyrant is going to sound to 🤘 but that is approximately 2 years away now still
I had listened to both the original and remixed and remastered versions of Rocka Rolla on Friday and I love them both for what they are, as they have their own charms. The new version reminds me of what Priest would sound like in 1980 to 1982 in the studio and that is not a bad thing. Altho, I like the original for its sound of the time and I am happy with them both. The other song I have been listening to this week is the newly remixed version of The Night Comes Down by Queen and as a fan of their early albums the most, I am looking forward to hearing the rest of what is to come, with its own newly rebuilt version of the debut album and the goodies which come with it. Now that I think of it, I wish that Rocka Rolla was released in a standard and deluxe version, with the latter containing live versions of songs from the album, as they were played recently and if available, back then too. Anyway, great job with these videos and I am looking forward to Wednesday, but I also have to get through Monday with iOS 18.
@@CuriousInterest There is a tape warble about half way through the song during the bridge. I did some research and it seems the word on the street it HAS been fixed.
I'm curious if the expanded artwork will be done by the original artist Derek Riggs or not. I don't know what the band's relationship with him is.... but it seems an awful shame to do something of this magnitude and not have his Visionary artwork involved in as much a capacity as possible
For all we know, those who "designed" the new metal gear knock offs could well be metalheads who are using "their" influences on the clothing - although the price is over the top. As a metalhead I don't care if the mainstream want to dress like us - it means they think we're cool. Celebrity wearing a Marduk or Mayhem shirt? Great, it brings more attention to those bands and could get them new fans. I'm 50, so these days I just don't give a flying fuck.
I love Dream Theater, and I really hope that as a 40-year celebration, they don't ignore the last 13 years! I don't expect Portnoy to learn songs like The Alien, Pale Dot, or Lost Not Forgotten, but songs like Breaking All Illusions, The Looking Glass, At Wits End, Barstool Warrior, Answering The Call, and Transcending Time should be doable for him!
i love the production and mix on the original rockarolla. it sounds like a 70s hard rock album, which is exactly what it is. it's way better than the murky sad wings mix (and the drumming on rocka rolla destroys the drumiing on sad wings...hinch had chops and swagger.) as good as the songs on vengeance and defenders are, both albums sound like absolute shit
Did you Know Lovebites Just for the 1st time (Best version Dallas) played their new song Unchained during their US leg of their world tour 2024 in Atlanta,Dallas,Los Angeles, and San Francisco. was amazing version I saw from dallas. Not sure if they played it in Los Angeles I also loved the close up version from SF from Hiawatha who you may notice on a ton of Japanese Bands videos I likewise follow many they are all great Lovebites,Band Maid,Bridear,Fate's Gear,Hagane,Hanabie,Gacharic Spin,Mary's Blood,Aldious, and Many others like Show-Ya the longest around that I know of.
The last time I saw Slayer was when they played with Megadeth doing their 30th anniversary of Rust in Peace. Megadeth opened and were so good that my uncle (another huge metalhead) and I walked out after 20 minutes of Slayer so we could beat the traffic 😅... Megadeth was WAY too good that night, they should have been the headline act. Of course Testament was opening the whole show, like they do EVERYONE, so that was probably the 30th time I've skipped them, but since they open for literally everyone here on the East Coast, I've already seen them about 30 times anyway, so no loss there lol
I like Priest and Maiden but dont like Dream Theater and hate the name. Release BluRay concerts of Live Ater Death , Maiden England and Unleashed in the East or Priest Live or something in HD. Original RockaRolla is very good but you could give it a Defenders sound.
Jon Bon Jovi is a class guy - yeah, he has a bit of an ego, but it's probably deserved due to the success he has had. Gotta admit, for 12 year old me, back in 1986, it was Bon Jovi that started my metal journey, and it was because of JBJ I wanted to grow my hair for the first time. I started with Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Kiss, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, but soon discovered Metallica and Master Of Puppets......which would eventually (still in the 80s) lead to Slayer, Bathory, Death...... I'm now, as a 50 year old, digging bands like Opeth, Emperor, Godgory, Gojira, Agathodaimon, Lord Belial etc, so my tastes got heavier! I still have a soft spot for Bon Jovi though as my favourite - and I don't care who knows!
First off, it's NOT a Reunion, the band retired from touring and making new music, they did not break-up, the entity Slayer still exists as a Band in business. As Kerry King said he looks at these FEW shows as a 'Celebration'.
The piracy bugs ya ???? , no the fact some tit with the money will buy it and know nothing of the scene or the bands is what bugs me .., sure people call it gatekeeping , who cares , don't be a poseur , this is the shit it creates , you wear something that has an image , a band on it , in todays day and age with all the tech available , do your research and know what you are representing/wearing ..,
If you would like to ROCK some Metal Pilgrim merch and support the show, check it out here - metalpilgrim.net/ Thanks!

Bought the Powerslave album but I agree, some expanded version with demos etc wouldve been fun!
I'd like it if you did a comparison video for the new release of Sabbath's Forbidden.
That’s a great idea, actually!

The top half of that hoodie was taken straight from the North American cover of Diablo II
Always thought Stryper and Slayer together would be cool. The ultimate Heaven and Hell Tour!
That would be something GR8!!!!!
And I always wanted to see, Anthrax and The Cure Tour as well!!!!;);)\MM/
Thanks for sharing.
♥ Excited about Stryper ♥
Rumors say they shoved cheap artwork into the beautiful Powerslave era made by the legendary Riggs
Bravo Jon... 👏 ✌️🤘⚖️🇦🇺🇺🇦

I had a brain error for a moment there because Judas Priest also has a song called Night Comes Down.
@@elimalinsky7069 well, Rob Halford is a Queen fan and Vlad has talked about the song Metal Gods being inspired by the cover of News Of The World.
Stryper for STEELFEST 2025!
Slayer reunion sounds more like a King-Arraya reunion... Hanneman is gone (RiP) and they hate Lombardo.... So... what's the point?!
Get Stryper in wacken
Wait until Blizzard (Microsoft) will sue their pants off for using the Diablo cover! 11:05
THANKS! I knew it looked familiar but couldn't place it!
Slayer UNretired??? Ice-T will be happy
Hopefully the SIT release will fix the issue with the "Loneliness" remaster.
whats the issue

What's the lineup of Slayer going to be for the new shows?

The yellow vinyl Somewhere in time was already released 2 months ago through Walmart
That was only in the US, not it’s worldwide
What did I listen to this week ?¿?
You're mama screaming my name in ecstacy 😂
my Major in Marketing and Design class was women's fashion, Balenciaga has terrible fashion ideas. Its a STupid Rich people thing

I think it's a ripoff with all the re release of old albums for the 58 time.
I think is great on your kanal herar the news.
Like Vanesa Warwick in Headbengers Ball 😂👍😇🤘
Talk about new Nightwish :P
