Ohio Man Claims He's Listened To Album Every Day

Ohio Man Claims He Has Listened To Latest Judas Priest Album Every Day For More Than A Year

(AP)  The band's managers want to meet with an Ohio heavy metal fan who said he has listened to the latest Judas Priest album every day for more than a year. Jim Bartek of Maple Heights said that's a lot of listening when you consider the album "Nostradamus" is an hour and 45 minutes long. But the 49-year-old truck shop employee said you can hear it over and over and always hear something new.

A Cleveland radio station (WJCU) has been tracking Bartek's streak since the 30th day, a month after the album was released in June 2008.

Judas Priest was scheduled perform in Cleveland on Tuesday, and Bartek has received a third-row ticket. The band has released a statement thanking him for his support, and the management said it wants to see him after the show.
