New Dream Theater single released today. New album comes out in Feb. Can't wait to see them again with my kids. So good having Mike Portnoy back.

I, too, have had some hazy memories of concerts due to too much drinking. Definitely a delicate balance. Just checked schedule and looks like I'll have to miss Drug Church as they are playing at the same time as Till Lindeman. Maybe I'll get another chance to see them at some future date.

When/where did you see them? You can check out their setlists here: https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/judas-priest-6bd6bafa.html

They were good. Very personable and fun. Unfortunately I had to deal with some work sh1t halfway thru their set. I could still hear them pretty good from the concourse at least.

@Fnord Either you were drunk or setlist varied greatly as JP played 3 songs from latest album. As expected they played opening track to start the show and title track near the end. The 3rd song was kind of a surprise - Crown of Horns - but it's a good song and gave Halford a chance to rest his vocal chords a bit. Overall I focking loved the setlist. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of older material they played. Songs that I would've liked to hear from Defenders of the Faith or Desert Plains from Point of Entry they played on their last tour so I can't complain. Just like last tour they showed video of Glenn Tipton during some of the more epic guitar solos. He's technically still in the band but Parkinson's makes it so he can't tour any more. Loved that. My voice is kinda raw now from all the sing along parts, especially Electric Eye. Time to grab a few hours of sleep before flying down to Sacramento for two days of Aftershock. If I stop posting then it means I probably died in the mosh pit.

In seat ready for the show. Just noticed Sabaton has drum kit set up on top of an armored vehicle.

Another week another FU to Kyle Pitts. I finally bench his ass and he has a decent game. His replacement? Njoku and his 1.4 pts.

@Fnordwithout spoilers how many songs did JP play from their latest album?

Just the tip you POS (countless "artistic" movies)

Never really listened to Slayer when I was a young lad. Didn't dislike them but wasn't really my thing. Doing a deep dive in preparation of show next week. Damn it's gonna be fun! I just hope my old ass doesn't get too damaged in the pit that will certainly form. Especially since I fly home the next day and immediately hit the road for a son of a friend's wedding. Can I get an early Ts and Ps from all you h0m0s?

36?. Does that include me you piece of sh1t?

How does it compare to the first one? I really like those "WTF is going on?" type movies.

Nah. I finally benched his worthless ass so I predict a 100yd night with at least 1 TD.

Has his dad weighed in on the situation yet?

G0ddamn I love me some Blood Ninja Rhino's don't play games.

Tell her your Yugo is in the shop and then ask "her" to send you money for the bus ride.

Shhhhhh.... Don't let her catch on to the fact that white ppl don't have to pay interest.

Our mortgage just recently changed companies as well. Probably the 3rd time this has happened. Like everyone has said the only difference is who you send your payment to. Not a big deal at all.

Agreed. They put on a fun show but yeah I don't usually listen to too much growl-y music.

If you want to listen to more Viking sh1t then check out Amon Amarth. Saw them when they opened for Ghost. The entire amphitheater - folks on the floor and up in the seats like me - was doing the "oar pit" during "Put Your Back Into The Oar". Was a focking blast!

Operation Ayatolla Assrape?

Thanks for the heads up on Sabaton. I've put them on a few times and they sound like rousing Viking type songs. Thanks for avoiding any setlist spoilers. Glad you had a blast.

Bump for the focking blind @Fnord (it had slipped down to page 5)

Speaking of assless chaps, how was Judas Priest @Fnord?
