Original JUDAS PRIEST Frontman 'Apologizes' To BLABBERMOUTH.NET Detractors - Dec. 21, 2005
Original JUDAS PRIEST singer Al Atkins' official web site has been updated with the following message:

"Al says thanx for all the comments on Blabbermouth. He expected a lot worse than that because he knows critics hate being criticized themselves. He also says he's sorry for what he said and would like to send you all a Xmas card. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONLY ONE YOU WHINGING, MOANING, SAD, ARSEWIPE LOSERS WILL GET THIS YEAR."

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.

Do you cry yourself to sleep and imagine how it could have been? Do you secretly rage with resentment towards your family and former collegues? Do you get drunk and beat your wife and child?

Why people who are public figures like this dude don't understand that jealous meaningless scumbags will always talk shit. If they can't take it they shouldn't be famous to begin with. This guy, like many others, is clearly shaken and hurt buy people commenting on here, and the fact that he takes time to comment and denies it only proves it further. I hope he gets less insecure and starts not caring for other people's opinion. I don't justify shittalkers, I pity them, but I don't understand people who are dependant on other people's opinion.

I play in a blackmetal band and we get shit on all the time....Do you think i care?.....no....People are going to talk shit about you regardless....Right now.....someone is slamming Judas Priest...Do you think they care?....no

I agree that it's probably not in the best interest for any artist to try and bash the Blabbermouth loudmouth squad. It's the equivelent of trying to argue with an idiot...they just drag you down to their level and beat you with years of experience. Given, there are many good posters here that have intelligent things to say, but they are always overshadowed by the countless morons who haven't escaped their parents basement and ventured out into the real world because it scares them.

Yes, there are many artists that I do not like myself, but I don't feel the compelling need to log on and spew as much shit as possible every time Blabbermouth posts something about them. Once in a while, I'll say something, but I try to stick to the bands and news that I do like and have interest in. It's too bad that more posters here don't have a little more common sense to realize the same thing....but instead, they're more worried who' going to get "first post" on any given thread. It's a sad life really........

Run of the Mill (dedicated to Al Atkins)


What have you achieved now you're old
Did you fulfill ambition, do as you were told
Or are you still doing the same this year
Should I give sorrow, or turn 'round and sneer

I know that the prospects weren't all that good
But they improved, and I'd have thought that you could
Have strived for that something we all have deep inside
Not let it vanish, along with your pride

Now with the aid of your new walking stick
You hobble along through society thick
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
You keep to the gutter in case you fall

I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on

I, I, I, I...

No one knows who you are, you haven't had an album since 98 and for the few albums you released, no one cared about them! You look like you should have been served at Thanksgiving.

Newflash, Al... no matter who you are, if you're in the music business, not EVERYBODY is going to like you. On Blabbermouth, the only bands I can think of that draw only positive comments are Alice In Chains and Nevermore. But a guy like you, waving his arms and screaming "Hey! I was in Judas Priest for five minutes before they recorded anything! Check out my shitty version of Victim Of Changes!" is just asking for it.
