Discussion about this years tour






   

[ladiesman] Sunday, December 07, 2008 4:07:31 PM 

I'd never heard some of the songs that They played,so I must say this is the best tour I`ve ever seen of Judas Priest.

[SkyRideR] Wednesday, December 03, 2008 8:20:37 PM 
all the reviews i've read, say the tour keeps getting better and better!!! europe watch out...
[Verkelos] Monday, December 01, 2008 10:24:11 PM

LOL @ HB  so how was the snow fall....????????????  and you say I live in winter peg?????   Just kiddin..
I saw pictures of the snow in Canmore, Even though I hate snow.. It did look beautiful.   

So hows it going on youre side of the country?????

Yeah Testamant thier sound wasnt that great.. The singer was distorted even.. Alot of people at the MTS center got up into thier 2nd song, and went out to the refreshment area, and stood out there until they were done..  I watched them play, But I wasnt that Impressed. Couldnt make out 1 word to any song they sang, the singer sounded like he had the mic in his mouth....  I was worried that the hole concert was going to have a bad sound... But when the Priest came on.  They were clear as a BELL.  So IDK??? 

anywse take care good to see you out here..

Hugs Mg~

They played "Sinner" & a bunch of oldies people haven't heard played live in years, in Vegas...
No other back-up bands, just JP.
Great show, venue & Fans (best in the world)!

Saw Judas Priest at Download 2008 and i thought they were amazing, i come to look at their tour dates and they are not touring in England! Is there a reason for this!? NOT TOURING IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY!!!!
[paperflowers] Monday, August 25, 2008 9:12:46 AM

[Head banger] Friday, August 08, 2008 7:52:30 AM

OK, hey all...

Just saw Priest here in Victoria a couple of weeks back on July 23. (yeah took me a while to work the PC keyboard again.)
Not my first show... but what a wicked show....
My first here in the local venue.. and worth everything  glad I did not miss it.

Now about the new album... addictive.  and whats wrong with all my equipment  the volume only goes to 10?  

Hey to Halford and the guys and all the other fans who showed up here... thans for making it such a fricken awesome show!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Thursday, August 07, 2008 12:27:30 AM 
Maple, they didn't play Grinder tonight.  But I think it's b/c they had to go with the short set-list to accomodate the idiotic Camden, NJ noise ordinance law.  Concert was done by 11pm, and we only got 16 out of maybe 21 songs from Priest.  I'm not complaining about the short list, but if anything, I am only mentioning the stupid noise ordinance law.
[Norrdika] Wednesday, August 06, 2008 9:27:30 PM 

Did anyone do the VIP ticket and fan experience?  I'm going to the 8/18 show at DTE which is in Michigan.  I have the VIP tickets and I am beyond excited.  I never thought I would have the opportunity to meet the metal masters.  It's a dream come true!  I would love to hear from anyone who had the same opportunity.  

[Vanvittig] Wednesday, August 06, 2008 8:34:48 PM 
Anyone going to Jones Beach for the 8/10 show?  I'm heading down from VT, 10 hours by train traveling solo, and I'd love to meet up with some folks before the show.
[Maple Syrup] Tuesday, August 05, 2008 8:05:19 AM 
Dave: I havent seen any setlists from Seattle mentioning Grinder was incl. Can you confirm this? I checked metalsetlist.com and it has no mention of Grinder....
Just checking as I am seeing Priest in five days. MSyrup  

Priest started their U.S. tour in Seattle tonight...

Two Words: Fucking Epic!
Three Words: Kept European Setlist!
Four Words: Better than Iron Maiden!

I know, I know - that last comment will probably generate some controversy. But hey, I've seen both bands plenty of times going back 20+ years and this gig was the best Priest gig I think I have ever seen (and that's a bold statement). Here's the particulars:

01. Dawn of Creation
02. Prophecy
03. Metal Gods
04. EAT ME ALIVE
05. Between the Hammer & the Anvil
06. Devil's Child
07. Breaking the Law
08. Hell Patrol
09. Death
10. DISSIDENT FUCKING AGGRESSOR
11. Angel
12. The Hellion/Electric Eye
13. Rock Hard, Ride Free
14. SINNER
15. Painkiller
----------------
16. Hell Bent for Leather
17. THE GREEN MANALISHI
18. You've Got Another Thing Coming

I'm spewing.. after being a fan for 28 years Priest announce thy will cancel their New Zealand concert due to freight and logistic issues (hell it's about the music to me, i'd be quite happy to see them plug in and rip without the show)  after i've shelled out over $200 on flights and accomodation that I could of used to contribute to a flight to see the band in australia. this is the first time priest have been to this part of the world and they wont be back
[mgdman] Saturday, August 02, 2008 7:31:42 PM 
Thanks! Do you know where the pics from QT were taken? They look great! I'm always a gentlemen. I only have girls in my home, wife and 3 daughters!

[spapad] Saturday, August 02, 2008 5:03:04 PM 
Sorry you have to wait Sweaty, but they just are doing festivals this summer and half the Southern US is unhappy with the situation as well, but give the guys some slack. They are not exactly getting younger. They will get there rest assured.

You American/Greek fans are very lucky. We guys in the UK have to wait until sometime in 2009 before we have the pleasure, with no dates released yet. Will be booking at least 2 of the Uk tour shows to make up for it!!

i was about 10th row, dead center.

i'm still recovering...

[EriktheRed9] Thursday, July 24, 2008 2:31:47 PM 
                           What is a spapad anyway ?.....NEVERMIND, i don't want to know, but then i might, depends.      Headline   Headline  Headline......                                                            Judas Priest just smoked down Seattle and the town is still smoldering, i was 4th row center and i couldn't get enough so get your tickets now before it's too late and remember this....If you are caught going to the Pet Shop Boys show you will be stripped out of 4000 brownie points and thrown into the Bimbo closet for three days and only allowed to listen to Culture Club and Wham cd's until your punishment is over where as you will have to wear a New Kids On The Block t-shirt for an additional week without washing it with an added Insync stick pin on the collar.
[ThisCorrosion] Thursday, July 24, 2008 2:17:20 PM 
I wish they would come to the UK sometime soon and if they do it would be nice if they come up north. Maiden have deserted us northerners, I hope Priest don't.
[jimmy7] Thursday, July 24, 2008 2:08:25 PM 
WELL SPAPAD YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THESE RED ''FIRES''YOU SEE IN FOOTBALL APPEARED IN THE CROUD!!!IT'S A ''MUST''!!!!!!!BUT WE DIDN'T THROW THE ANYWERE!!!!THERE WASN'T ANY SPACE!!!!ARE YOU GREEK OR SOMETHING?????????????

[EriktheRed9] Wednesday, July 23, 2008 8:45:17 PM 
                             Judas Priest just smoked the house down here in Seattle,they were so choice and K.K wiped out the most balls lead in the song Sinner,just ripping it down the tremelo dives into harmonic minor blending psycho bending pentatonic fire.I was going nuts,then Glen nails the Painkiller lead note for note as Halford was right on it.I never wanted it to end and the energy was straight back in the day it was so bomb.I'm still spun on it 20hrs later,why did they have to leave?
[spapad] Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:42:11 PM 
Awesome Jimmy, Did anyone start throwing fire like they do at football, or used to do?  Glad you had such a great time, I cant not wait to go, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas to come!

I saw them in Bergen, June 8th. It was my first Priest concert, and it was quite an experience! I only wish that JP could offer some downloads of their different concerts as some other bands do.....
[jimmy7] Wednesday, July 23, 2008 3:33:05 PM

Sinner,
Death,

Rock Hard, Ride Free,
Painkiller,
Angel,
Between the Hammer and the Anvil,

You've Got Another Thing Coming.

i might have missed a couple. i want to say they play Screaming and Freewheel Burning but i honestly don't remember...
-----

oh yeah, Testament opened. *yawn* it was loud, but i think it was one 50 minute long song with a few pauses.

try to make the songs sound a little different guys...

Hi, everybody!

I visited JP concert in Bucharest July 11th and it was just great! I envy all Americans for the shows they are gonna see! Judas Priest are in excellent fit, Rob sings heavenly! This was my second JP live show and I hope that next year they will not skip BULGARIA! PLEASE, COME TO BULGARIA! THERE IS A HUGE NUMBER OF JP FANS HERE!
[Richard Green] Wednesday, July 23, 2008 2:14:10 AM 
You should have been in Seattle this evening. The band was magnificent, kicking off their American tour. They are the Metal Gods. This was a good crowd tonight and the band did not disappoint. The new Nostradamus material went over well. The stage and light show rocked. The sound was excellent. The crowd stood the whole time. The band seemed genuinely excited and happy after the last encore. FYI, no long sleeve shirts for sale but plenty of other merchandise.

18 DAY!!! OH I CANT WAIT. 
When the power chords come crashing down
Go tearing through my senses
It's for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimensions

It stimulates, regenerates
It's therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
and blasts us through the ceiling

Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings

Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking

Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal
What do you want
Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal
What do you want

Ten thousand lights come blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision

An armour plated raging beast
That's born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever

Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings

Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking

Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal
What do you want
Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal
What do you want

I WANT MY JUDAS PRIEST HEAVY METAL
IT'S GREAT TO BE A PRIEST FAN

Thanks to those that responded and so quickly at that. Already called my buddy who laughed at the speed in which I got back to him.

As he said...JP fans are a damn good group of people. Couldn't agree more.

Say, I got a general SHOUT OUT for anyone with an unused GA lawn seat code. A fan just contacted me who is trying to take his GF on the cheap.

Anyone like me who bought tix and also Nostra with a code they never used, hit me with a PM, wouldja? Thanks.
