Original JUDAS PRIEST Singer Says BLABBERMOUTH.NET Detractors Are 'Sad Bastards' - Dec. 19, 2005
Original JUDAS PRIEST singer Al Atkins' official web site has been updated with the following message:

"Al wishes all his friends and fans a merry Xmas and a great New Year, even to those sad bastards who comment on Blabbermouth. [*Edit by [Atkins'] webmaster… Al? Surely you didnt mean that? Oh man, it's not their fault they have no talent, mate! They are just sad losers with major man boobs.]

"Al's off to California in January to visit the NAMM exhibition, which he as been invited to, along with Pete Emms, his bass player. He hopes to have some dates added to the new site for 2006 when they have all been confirmed."

As previously reported, Atkins has just released a new promotional DVD. Produced by Mpeguk Ltd, the DVD (released on DVD-R) includes music videos of three selected tracks off his new CD, "Demon Deceiver - The Sin Sessions": the title track, "Demon Deceiver", "Cradle to the Grave" and the JUDAS PRIEST classic "Victim of Changes". The musicians include BUDGIE guitarist Simon Lees, DANTE FOX guitarist Mike de Jager, VASELINE RATS bass player Pete MZ Emms, drummers Mick Hales and Adrian Badlands, and guitarist Chris Johnson. The videos include footage shot during the recording of the tracks at MAGNUM's Madhat Studios, JB's Live Music Venue and during Al's tour of the U.S.

Check out sample clips at www.mpeguk.com. Free downloads, including iPod downloads, will be available on the site shortly.

Al has recorded "Victim of Changes" three times on different albums over the last 15 years since he turned solo. "This time it's a much shorter and faster version than before. It's fucking awesome," Atkins said. Also appearing on the album is a song called "Drown", which is said to be a duet between Al and Kansas-based vocalist/guitarist Johnny Lokke.

Anyone should know that a "grudge/war" against Blabbermouth
posters can never be won. Most of the flamers are like orcs:
never give in, aggressive, stubborn...and maybe a bit smelly on the side.

np: Motörhead - "Stone Dead Forever"

You should be so fucking lucky ... actually I have absofuckinglutely no goddamn clue who the fuck you are ,...and really I hope to keep it that way... you are a loser ... Big bad rock star that nobody fucking knows ???? FUCK YOU ...

Relevant to the name JUDAS PRIEST in what way ?

To once again quote KULL : "...the guy who briefly sang w- PRIEST before they went pro'. ????????

ARE YOU PROUD OF THAT THEN SIR, AL ?

I honestly hope, that disgusting obviously painful rash and
swelling in/on your NUTSACK never goes away....

Calling you dull is a gross underestimation of just how tedious you are.... Al.

You are a miserably appalling dullard and a loathsome, buttock-rimming orgy of indecency,.. Al.

"PEST" spammed the board. Yeah, I like opie and anthony too, but if you get sattelite, XM SUCKS DONKEY DICK for metal. They have one "heavy metal" station that plays old cheese rock , most bands I have never heard of and I go way back.

Sirius has 3 metal/hard rock stations and you hear Death metal, speed metal, thrash, good old school stuff, etc.

For that reason I have Sirius AND XM because XM was already installed, but then I went and got Sirius for the music.

Anyone thinking about sattelite, get sirius.

Not our fault you couldn't cut it. Thank God that you sucked so we can get to hear Halford and all of his greatness. Way to ride something you were barley apart of jackass, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.

Before I read this news message, I'd never heard of Al Atkins either. But if he's co-written Victim of Changes, one of my all-time favourite songs, featuring awesome lyrics, then that's cool. You gotta respect that. And since I don't come to Blabbermouth to post foul-mouthed messages, I don't feel offended by his comments on Blabbermouth users either. He's not talking about me. So I'll try to find some mp3 samples of his music (like a Victim of Changes remake, as unpromising as that sounds) and check them out.

My questions are: Are there any demo releases available from Judas Priest with Al Atkins on vocals? Did he also cowrite other Priest songs, for example from Rocka Rolla (which actually features some great songs too)? And why was Atkins forced to quit the band? Note that for example some of those early Maiden (demo and album) recordings are exceptional, even though Dianno is a very different and not quite as great vocalist as Dickinson. Not the mention the early vocalists of some other great bands (Dream Theater, Exodus and Anthrax, anyone?). So I'd be really interested to find out what Priest sounded like with Atkins on vocals.

Well, I guess I shouldn't expect too many Blabbermouth users to be interested in answering such questions, so I will try to find out by looking at Atkins' webpage and other metal sources on the internet myself. But if any of you knows the answers and will post it here, I thank you in advance.
