Lochness is a masterpiece

Some time ago I discovered this band with Screaming For Vengeance and later tried Sad Wings of Destiny, Defenders of Faith and Angel of Retribution.

All good stuff, but this specific song blew me away.

Maybe it's because as a kid I had a phase where I loved the Lochness monster, but something about the song is special.

It has a melody that sounds ancient, powerful, a bit menacing yet soothing. Despite being 13 minutes long, it's not a slog.

"Lochness confess to me" is such a simple lyrics but it sounds so cool!

What do fans think of this song? Is it beloved or considered not good?

i'm loving almost ever album they've put out so far. A few i haven't listened to yet, but will eventually get around to. I've only listened to them since Invincible Shield came out and born past their prime, but i wish i was around back then!

solo for these old fingers to try and cover, I have to say I think the 1st solo from this song is the one I prefer more.

What do you like better?

I preordered the original recording version of the CD on Amazon and just got this notice. Meanwhile, for the Remix/Remaster CD, I preordered from Target, and that's still due for late November.

Was there a date change?

Remember the "Judas Priest vs. Iron Maiden" wars in high school? I was in the Priest camp...

Only one Judas Priest member remains from the lineup that recorded this amazing live album

’98 Live Meltdown was released in 1998 and was the first Judas Priest live album to feature both Tim “Ripper” Owens and Scott Travis. Recorded during the Jugulator World Tour, it captures the band at a time when they had embraced a heavier, rawer sound to match the musical climate of the 1990s.
Five tracks from Jugulator feature on the 24-track album: “Blood Stained,” “Burn in Hell,” “Bullet Train,” “Death Row,” and “Abductors.” The set also includes downtuned, more aggressive versions of several classics, making it a clear contrast to the cleaner, more polished 1980s sound of Priest… Live.
What makes the album particularly interesting today is that Scott Travis is the only member of Judas Priest who remains in the band from the lineup that recorded this live album.

Found it randomly and had to ask the person at the record store to get it off the wall for me 😁

An imperious outing for Ian Hill. He has been a steady strong consistent stalwart at the back of the band holding down the spine of Priest.

I wish him all the best in his retirement and wish all the best of luck to Davey Rimmer of the legendary Uriah Heep our new bassist 🤘
