Judas Priest - Every Album Every Song

John Tucker

Beschreibung

Many would argue that Judas Priest's most creative and influential period ran from their first release in 1974 until frontman Rob Halford shocked the metal world by quitting in May 1992, following the Painkiller tour. By then, Judas Priest had fourteen albums to their name, with chart success in both the UK and USA, and had grown in stature and image from a kaftan-wearing rock band with pretensions of being the next Queen, to purveyors of a leather and studded, full-force, heavy metal onslaught. Copied by many but surpassed by none, Judas Priest came to symbolise the very essence of heavy metal music. By the time of UK hit British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance, their breakthrough album in the USA, their look and sound was being replicated by many young hopefuls, as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal spawned the next generation of metal bands worldwide.

Judas Priest - On Track. From Rocka Rolla to Painkiller studies Judas Priest’s varied output in detail. Musicians inspired by the band explain what Judas Priest and their albums meant to them, and the late Chris Tsangarides, whose first break came with the Sad Wings Of Destiny sessions, offers his insight into one of the world’s greatest heavy metal bands.

A keen writer and photographer, John Tucker’s first live review was published in the American fanzine Metal Rendez-Vous in 1983. Moving to London later that year, he started contributing to a number of fanzines, and also wrote Neat Records’ in-house magazine Lead Weight. His first book Suzie Smiled – the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal appeared in 2006, and since then he’s written Never Surrender (with Biff Byford), Am I Evil? (with Brian Tatler), Whitesnake – The Definitive Biography (with Simon Robinson), Neat & Tidy – The Story Of Neat Records and 5 Years Of Brofest.

Native American Legends -...

Odessa Nightshade

For centuries, Native American legends have served as the foundation of cultural identity, spiritual belief, and moral guidance for Indigenous peoples across the continent. These stories, passed down through generations, reflect the deep connection between Native American communities and the natural world, offering insight into their understanding of life, death, and the unseen forces that shape existence. More than just myths, these legends form the backbone of spiritual practices, social structures, and the traditions that continue to thrive today.  
  
One of the most striking aspects of Native American storytelling is its reliance on oral tradition. Unlike written histories, which remain fixed in time, oral traditions are fluid, evolving with each retelling while preserving the essence of ancestral wisdom. Elders and storytellers pass these tales to younger generations, ensuring the survival of cultural knowledge and reinforcing values such as respect, humility, and harmony with nature. Through storytelling, communities maintain a sense of continuity, bridging the past with the present and preparing future generations for the challenges of life.  
  
At the heart of Native American legends is an intrinsic connection to the natural world. Many stories revolve around the land, animals, and celestial bodies, portraying them as spiritual entities rather than mere physical elements. Rivers, mountains, and forests are often imbued with sacred significance, serving as homes to powerful spirits or the setting for legendary events. Animals, too, play a vital role, with figures like the wise Raven, the cunning Coyote, and the noble Eagle embodying various aspects of human nature. These stories do not merely explain natural phenomena—they offer guidance on how to coexist with the environment, reinforcing the belief that humans are part of a greater, interconnected whole.

100 Things to Hate Before You Die

Claudia Stavola

Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.
