Listening to the 2022 Record Store release of Judas Priest's - Hero, Hero.

Sounds fantasic.

 

Tunes from Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings --- I never owned Rocka Rolla -- can't say I even listen to it all the way through (probably have, but forgot) - anyway right out the box Judas Priest were writing killer tunes.

 

Was at my mother in law's house this weekend for Mom's day --- she has this crazy antenna TV system, which has music video stations from the each decade ----happen to catch the Rock Rolla's video for the first time --- it took me a second to realize that was Judas Priest ----  Rob's hair threw me for loop --- then I heard him sing.

 

 

And of course my kid just turned  down the record....

Those are really the only two Judas Priest albums I ever listen to. 

 

That video is from The Old Grey Whistle Test show.

 

I have always liked Winter/Deep Freeze/Winter Retreat. I guess they do no own the masters to those first two albums.

 

I think I got Sad Wings of Destiny when I was a teenager in the early 1980s.

Yeah definitely from The Old Grey Whistle -- need to search out the full video - did not realize that they were on it.

 

Listening to "Run of the Mill" now --- great, great tune.

Just received a used copy of Somewhere in Time on vinyl --- this was the last tape I bought from Iron Maiden before I went off to Grateful Dead land  - I did buy a knock off tape of Seventh Sign at a flea market when it was it released ----  anyway it's been a long while since I listened to it - I forgot that "Deja-Vu" is a kick ass tune.

Oddly enough - I have been re-watching all those great documentaries they have on Youtube. I think they must film everything when they go on tour. That was actually the last Iron Maiden album I bought also. I don't think l have heard it since 1987 or so.

Also congrats on the "Lionesses"

Ta (though as I'm Welsh it's not a real red letter day). The icing on the cake for the Changing of the Guard would have been for the colour guard to do a bit of headbanging in bearskins for a few seconds, but I suppose they need to keep some rules of protocol.

O crap - sorry I forgot that.  Where you rooting for Spain - just curious.

Ha! No - womens football is not such a big thing for me to be too fixated, plus the English women always seemed to be coming from behind in the knockout games so it was nice to see them come through each time. It is a strange thing. For rugby I would be supporting 'anyone but the English' in the majority of situations (definitely in the 6 Nations), though if they get to the later rounds of the World Cup then it would depend specifically on who they were playing and how they were playing (they have had a boring style for some decades). I might also switch allegiance during a game if they went far behind - the British support for the underdog kicking in then. For football (though I don't follow it like I do rugby) I would tend to support England only because in my lifetime (until the last 10 years) Wales have never got their act together so England would be the only default for European and World cups. Sometimes if the team is full of overpaid twats and they are playing a 'minnow' I would turn against them, but as I live in England it is kind of nice when there is a feel good factor if they are progressing in the latter stages of an event. Scotland on the other hand I always want to see loose in football because of Joe Jordan's handball in the 70s in a World Cup qualifier.  So, in summary, complicated - like our entwined history. 

This is great though :-
