    In February of next year they will be playing the National Auditorium in Mexico City which fits 10,000 people. They sold it out yesterday just a few hours after tickets went on sale. This will be the biggest crowd they've played in front of as a headliner. EP, have you heard the song Automatic Sun yet? Since you're a musician I was interested in your take on the sound of the song and the unique stuff it sounds like they're doing. Also, Dany is experimenting a bit more with her vocals on it.

    I guess that depends on what he thinks the ripper is going to rip

    What albums have you tried before? They're really only good up through the early 90s. After that it's the same old same old with them and they miss more than they hit.

    Who the hell is Tyler Warren?

    That new Lacuna Coil track is pretty bland. Even more than Never Dawn. Even with help from another band the song isn't much. The new Within Temptation single is much better. At least the chorus has a hook.

    Tom Sawyer. Good song. Just never understood why it's their biggest song? It really doesn't have much of a chorus or a big hook in it like many of their other hits do. It's not even a catchy as some songs from them that never became well known. I guess it being unique musically is what might be it's big appeal. But being musically unique describes the majority of Rush songs. I guess I'm in the "I just don't get it" group when it comes to the songs appeal.

    I've been all digital for a few years now. The majority of my interneting is done on my phone and with Spotify on it I have the full discography of every band I like right there. So I listen to everything on Spotify now. I still have a stereo and CDs and I still buy CDs because I like owning and looking at the whole packaging but I haven't actually listened to a CD in ages.

    I find when I revisit old favorites I haven't heard in a while that I hear things that I didn't notice before. Sometimes it's good to take a break from a band even when you love them a lot. It's always nice to reapproach them with fresh ears.

    Butchered Comalies is toilet worthy. I have no idea what they were thinking? I would rather the band just stay quiet for an extended period of time and work on new material instead of trying something like this. I sometimes think things like this are pushed on the band by the record label because when I listen to it I'm baffled as to why any band would want to do something like this to an album that is considered by many to be their best and be ok with it.

    Same here. It's one of those words that I am familiar with but had to look up the meaning to since it's not a word that I use or come across in every day conversation.

    I find it strange that it's only been recently, since the band started to become more popular, that something they've done being too pop is a problem for some fans. The band has had pop hooks in their songs since the beginning. Why did they have no issues with it when the band wasn't as well known? Sorry, I'm not taking a shot at you. It's just that It's too pop has only been a complaint since they released More last year. It never came up before that. I first heard HYCAD when they played it live back in October of last year. I never even realized there were backing vocals during the keyboard part of the chorus until I heard the studio version. I don't consider it pop though. I see it as something that the fans will be able to sing along to live. Just like the other songs they have with "oh, oh, ohs" in them. Much like The Beatles, The Warning is a rock band that has a lot of pop in what they do melodically.

    Here's another recording of Automatic Sun. This one captures the Tom Morello style slide Dany does up and down the neck of the guitar during the intro. The riff to this is really heavy. Tony Iommi would be proud.

    They announced last week that Automatic Sun will be released this Friday. I didn't bother posting about it since nobody here had been responding to any of my recent posts in this thread. They recorded a video for Automatic Sun at this show. They had several TV cameras and drones used to record it. That's one of the reasons they had pyro for the song too. After this show they flew to Spain because they start their European tour in Madrid in a few days and that will take them to the end of the month. They have three shows in Japan in June. Then they are back to Europe again in July and August. It looks like the North American tour will happen in September and October since they will be on some festivals in the US at that time. By the way, that riff in Automatic Sun has a very Soundgarden like feel to me.

    He would also play on the side of the stage. So a lot of the time people couldn't even see him.

    AC/DC pretty much makes the same album each time. So they're all like blasts from the past. Power Up is definitely a very strong late career album. I'll throw Black Ice in there too. Lots of very good songs on that album. Except for Nostradamus, Priest has been top level with all their releases since Halford returned to the band. Angel, Redeemer, Firepower and Invincible Shield are as good as anything they've done.

    I'm not sure how much this is paying the bills for him considering he's playing smaller venues and touring costs are at an all time high. He's probably lucky to be breaking even with this unless they are making a killing with merch. I remember reading something about him not doing meet and greets. So that extra revenue stream that really helps a lot of bands out when touring is not there for him. Still, that looked like a pretty good crowd in that picture. I guess since Priest regularly neglects coming here fans in this area were ready to settle for the off brand version.
  18. J2112YYZ
    How many people were there?
  19. J2112YYZ
    Yeah, he should have gone with a name that was different. Even just calling it KK Downing would have been fine. But I guess since he already had the knockoff Priest songs and the imitation Rob Halford, he figured he would go all in and use the Priest name in case it wasn't obvious he was so desperate to be in the band again once we heard what he had written.

    Dollar Store Priest would have been a more appropriate name. Tim Owens should also change his name to Tim "will sing for food" Owens.
  21. J2112YYZ
    Well, to do this so quickly after the song was officially released, I guess the band is aware how much the live version of this song smokes the studio version. There's not a single fan that I know who prefers the studio version.
  22. J2112YYZ
    Riverworks? That is way too big for them. Even the ballroom might be too big.
  23. J2112YYZ
    I'm still trying to figure out what my favorites are on this album. Every song stands on it's own very well. Every song is just as good as the last one.
  24. J2112YYZ
    Ha! I didn't even know dollar store Priest was playing here. What venue is it?

    Thanks for quoting me with the "Who the f**k is Pete Pardo?" 😄
