Great read authored by a great guy.

Does anything ever happen in Toronto?

iPad FTW!

Priest even stole the intro to their best song, Beyond The Realms Of Death, from Styx. f***ing Styx!

70s “metal” was al-loo-min-e-um compared to what came after, even Sabbath. Hard Rock for the win!

To The Bone came across better live.

My interest in metal ended when British Steel came out. Breaking The Law! I’m Breaking The Law! Ferk off.

Hand.Cannot.Erase is far and away the best, for me. Then I’d put Raven and Harmony Codex followed by GFD, To the Bone, Insurgentes and finally TFB.

Listened to the album in full blown Atmos with the book and the lyrics in front of me. Fantastic experience.

The Prince? Thats not a children’s book, it’s a political essay.

I did the French version for “O level” French. I usually hate the books I’ve had to “study” but this one endures. “Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours leur donner des explications.”

Sunny Tenerife.

Hand.Cannot.Erase is way out in front as my favourite.

Sweet.

Me and my wife literally just said that it reminded us of Roll The Bones.

Certainly have. On my way to Tenerife at 9am.

Okay, just finished. A solid 8/10. I might even go higher.

It’s almost like he wanted to fix The Future Bites. Still a lot of electronica but used far more cinematically in fact it’s obvious he’s pushing for a soundtrack opportunity.

RIP. Great actor.

I don’t know if he realises (or cares) but there’s quite a lot of almost note for note excerpts from all his solo albums and some from In Absentia and CC.

Odd

Yeah mine arrives tomorrow but I’m off on holiday before it will get posted. Downloaded hi - res version. It’s going to sound fantastic in surround but it’ll be nearly two weeks before I can get back and listen to it.
