Judas Priest
« on: July 14, 2009, 04:35:10 pm »
JUDAS PRIEST will be releasing their new live album, A Touch Of Evil: Live, on July 14th via Sony Music and Epic Records. The album will be available in Japan on July 22nd, and will include two bonus tracks, 'Worth Fighting For' (Live World Tour) and 'Deal With The Devil' (Live World Tour). Recorded by Martin Walker and Brian Thorene during the Judas Priest's mammoth 2005 and 2008 world tours, A Touch Of Evil: Live also marks the first Priest album that producer Tom Allom has worked on since 1988 (co-producing along with the band). It was such Allom-produced albums as the aforementioned Unleashed In The East, as well as British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance (among others) that made Priest not only one of the premier metal acts, but one of the leading global rock acts. As heard throughout A Touch of Evil: Live, Priest remain a must-see live act...and a must-hear one, as well." The complete tracklist for A Touch of Evil: Live' is as follows: 'Judas Rising', 'Hellrider', 'between The Hammer And The Anvil', 'Riding On The Wind', 'Death', 'Beyond The Realms Of Death', 'Dissident Aggressor', 'A Touch Of Evil', 'Eat Me Alive', 'Prophecy', 'Painkiller'. Japanese bonus tracks: 'Worth Fighting For' (Live World Tour) and 'Deal With The Devil' (Live World Tour).

I think I'll be picking this up.  I was never too keen on Priest when I was younger but the other year I picked up their 2 Disc Greatest Hits and I loved the record, I then get the last album Nostradamus which was a bit hit and miss for me, its an interesting tracklist for the live album, a lot of the obvious tracks are missing.

Any other fans here?

I know a couple of their songs (first heard them on GTA: Vice City :D) and British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance are on my 'albums to buy' list. You've Got Another Thing Comin' and The Hellion/Electric Eye are great.

Yeah those are great tracks, I need to get those albums you mentioned to so I can check out their material beyond the "hits".  I quite like their cover of Johnny B. Goode.

Just seen the new albums on spotify now  :D

Edit: Listening to the second to last track Prophecy now, its a decent live album, nice to have a more bitesize one sice live albums can often be exhausting with their double discness...

I wonder how many people got into bands via the gta games radio. Personally I have got more than 20 albums as a result...

Can't think off the top of my head who I got into via the GTA Radio but it was via that I found out Stevie Wonder did Higher Ground before RHCP  :D

Got into a few bands after hearing them in GTA games. V-Rock in Vice City is a good station but Radio X in San Andreas is where it's at. 8) GNR, Ozzy, Faith No More, Alice In Chains, STP, L7... ended up getting the albums with the in-game songs by all of them. :D

I love The Priest. Loved them for years. Heading out to the highway, another thing coming are some of my favs.

I personally saw the tour twice. Once at an outdoor arena sounded great.  Other time was a small. Casino setting and I was 3 to 5 feet from the band.  They give.a great presentation on stage didn't know there was a cd coming out I will be picking it up but I would much better see a dvd come out rob is so great up there on stage and never been so happy to of had a gay man high five me as when he did it
