@ Die-romantic -I respectfully disagree with your opinion that "Dookie sucks." I appreciate you voicing your opinion on the album though. Thank you.

haha very nice, although the track named The H e l l i o n (wow PSU has that banned?!) is only a 1 minute intro that merges to Electric Eye. how is that going to work?

Nice. I sent them an email a while back requesting full length albums and or discographies, but I was expecting a good band. Foo Fighters, Beck, Incubus, Weezer, NIN, RHCP, STP, Queens of the Stonage, Nirvana...You know. Decent bands. Fingers crossed something good will come soon.

I'm not complaining about Judas Priest but what happened to Who's Next.

"Metal Gods"? Bring the Prince of Darkness Ozzy and we'll see who the metal gods are. I could make a list of metal bands I find better than Judas Priest, but it would take forever to type thousands of band names out.
I'm not complaining though, because I want to see more metal in these games.

I for one am stoked about this announcement, and it's only a week away?! Harmonix really has it together with the DLC and is absolutely crushing their old franchise with quality content imo. The original game was definately a lot easier on the main setlist, but the DLC is just insane...the thrash pack is just ridiculous and I can imagine this Judas Priest CD being pure crazy blistering fun on all instruments. Not to mention Priest are truly the godfathers of metal and couldn't be a better fit for this game. I like how all the bands everyone lists (in their opinions, which I can respect) as "better" than Priest when NONE of those bands would exists without Priest's influence...Musical taste is a funny thing though, and regardless if everyone else likes them, I'll still be rocking this pack all over the place and that's all that matters, right? :) Hopefully when these CDs start kicking off in full force we'll get some Dream Theater, Opeth, Motley Crue, AC/DC, etc. as well.

@ Razerblaze: Even if you don't believe Black Sabbath was the forerunner of metal, you have to at least acknowledge their major sphere of influence.
