Ready for "K.K.'s Priest?"

The snippet of music in that link isn't really long enough to get much of a feel for it (it was what, ten seconds, tops? You couldn't even give us thirty seconds, KK? What a tight ass...)

Who knows whether the details of the promotional video were up to KK or not. I'll definitely be interested in what the new music sounds like, and I hope they are able to find a way to tour. What an interesting setlist they could put together for Priest fans, comprising the new stuff, Ripper-era material that never gets played live anymore, and a combination of deep cuts and classic Priest. Seeing this show in a small theater would be incredible.

I have a feeling this album will be good. KK has something to prove, and Ripper needs a proper comeback.

Same here .

You were saying???

I like it!

Ripper’s lyrics are not the best, but it could be worse. There are several other songs left to hear.

Simply Awesome. Pure Painkiller worship .

I will definitely buy the album.

Whoa! I'm not sure what I was expecting but this blows my expectations out of the water. They really bring it. Ripper delivers, as always.

Already better that anything off Firepower IMO.

I disagree with mc666, I loved 'Firepower', but I do like this tune from K.K., he should just called it KK Downing or Downing or KK Downing Project, but K.K.'s Priest is OK I suppose, but I will check it out and I am sure will buy the album eventually

Will need to give this a few more listens, but on the first pass it sounds promising.

Pretty dope song. So many fucking whiners out there trashing it, though. God, I wish I could murder people through the Internet. Haha.

Firepower is good, but the production is sterile. KK’s song sounds old school.

I disagree. I don't think this particular song was as outstanding as everyone is making it out to be. Yet I didn't hate it either. I'd have to hear more.

Yes it is old school indeed. A mixture of Painkiller and Jugulator. I like it .

It's good to have KK back, delivering the goods.

Meh. I hope other tracks are better.

Well I liked it. It's not earth shattering best thing to ever be recorded, but I think it's a really good song and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

That's the way I feel about it as well. I was a bit skeptical when this project/band was announced, but this song makes me interested in it and want to get it.

What happened to Les Binks? That ain't him in the video.

That's the Cage drummer. Les Binks apparently got injured and isn't on the album after all. A shame.

same here. Its good but it is a total rehash (I did not expect anything different though)

I am not over-demanding. I am just glad that we now have a new metal band featuring top artists. I'd rather enjoy it while it lasts.

The song isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s not embarrassing either...
It’s a good effort for a band that just started. If they keep this band together for at least one more album, I know they will give Halford and company a kick in the ass! The guys in Priest underestimated his worth and chemistry to this style of metal.

We have more songs to check out later and it should only get better!

That was a decent song. I hope the rest is better.

Those saying it sounds better than Fire Power are out of their minds. That was a great sounding record, with excellent compositions.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I didn't hate it or love it. I want to hear some other tunes before I pass judgement.

Well, Les is almost 70. Drumming like a coked-up monkey is a young man's game I guess.
