Ever heard of Blaze Bayley? He replaced Bruce Dickenson who left Maiden from 1993 to 1999. They recorded 2 cd'c with Baily. They also lost guitarist Adrien Smith at the same time. Drummer Clive Burr left after Number of The Beast. So Maiden have had their setbacks just like Priest but continued to crank out quality metal cd's over the years.

I like that fact that there is diversity in Priest recordings and its taught me to be diverse in my own music but if they want to sell out shows then they should have been emulated what was done on Painkiller with every recording since. Nost was their, IMO, spinal tap moment and its a shame they cant do one more to top or try to top Painkiller. THey DID approach it with AOR......

I dont get it, but its a fact. crue came close to selling out, gnr (axle version) sold out. priest sells fuck all. why is that?

Seriously would you expect a band that peaked in the mid 80s that hasn't had mainstream success to be selling out arenas more than 25 years later. It's the amount of respect they have alone that's allowing them to continue to tour.

GNR had the biggest selling debut album of all time. 18 million in the US alone. They were the biggest band in the world back in the early 90s. Up there with the likes of U2 and Pink Floyd. It's not going to be hard for them to sell 20000 tix today. Priest have never had anything more than mid level success and it's not down to Gull records. It's down to the fact that they have been inconsistant to the extent of alienating some of their fans and not sticking to their guns the way the likes of Maiden and AC/DC have.

I get that consistancy is the best sales formula, and it works for maiden and acdc. I dont get GNR selling a ton of tix this year. I get also that rob left, and that hurt, they had either 2 albums in 12 years or none, depending on how you count it.
even touring painkiller with megadeath and testament they didnt sell out here. ok, testament was fairly unknown then, and the tour got fuck all for promo, but still. maiden sold out that year, and every tour I can think of since, except the final frontier, which was close to a sell out.
I guess their consistancy is the downfall. I personaly lay some of it at Gull records door. the fact that you could go to a store every week, find a different cover or name, only to find you already had every song there three times over pissed me off.

Rob Ward wrote:
They are obviously retiring because they've become senile because the way it works is, you record an album then you go on tour and support it. I'm sick of bands re-releasing old material in a new package and calling it "new." Then they announce a farewell tour to rob their fans of any final cash they can get.
I'm with those fans that think the last years of Priest have been their worst. I'd go back and say the last good priest album was Painkiller, everything since then is either horribly bad especially the Owens albums or just ok (A.O.R).
It's probably just as well because I had already made up my mind that if they recorded another death metal album that I wasn't going to buy it or go to the concert, BTW I didn’t buy Nostradamus. Priest was my favorite band since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but towards the end of their career it was obvious that the direction they went in left me behind. I don't think it's Halford because I like his solo stuff, so I think it's probably Glenn and K.K. making the decisions in this band. I'm not going to the farewell tour because I've pretty much lost interest in them years ago, but it's sad for me because I'd always hoped that they would come full circle and write more classic stuff and go out that way. But this just proves that Judas Priest left me behind and in the end they were not my favorite band...

Oh ... for the opportunity to meet many of you on the upcoming tour ...
you all sound like you have had a blast hanging out together -
I'm envious.
I still cannot get over all the negativity from some of you.
So the Priest released "experimental" albums ...
that's what being innovative, creative, and leaders in something means!!
It means you aren't afraid to try something new-ish while staying grounded in your roots.
These 5 gentlemen have poured heart, soul and sweat into giving us AWESOME music and concert experiences for DECADES! Heck ... ANYONE who's EVER been lucky enough to be in this band is part of that legacy.
If you're ready to move on from this band - do it. It just leaves more room for us truly appreciative fans to show them what we're made of!

Can I say I've honestly only listened to Nostradamus once all the way through? I've tried time and time again in the past, but always get bored during the FIRST disc... It's just not Priest material.. I'd probably prefer it over Parental Guidance though... More like British Steel - Vengeance - Defenders - Painkiller - Retribution kind of material I'm wanting - NEEDING - to hear from these guys, and a lot of people feel the same way! Please, oh please, at least one more album for us Priest fans!

They are obviously retiring because they've become senile because the way it works is, you record an album then you go on tour and support it. I'm sick of bands re-releasing old material in a new package and calling it "new." Then they announce a farewell tour to rob their fans of any final cash they can get.
I'm with those fans that think the last years of Priest have been their worst. I'd go back and say the last good priest album was Painkiller, everything since then is either horribly bad especially the Owens albums or just ok (A.O.R).
It's probably just as well because I had already made up my mind that if they recorded another death metal album that I wasn't going to buy it or go to the concert, BTW I didn’t buy Nostradamus. Priest was my favorite band since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but towards the end of their career it was obvious that the direction they went in left me behind. I don't think it's Halford because I like his solo stuff, so I think it's probably Glenn and K.K. making the decisions in this band. I'm not going to the farewell tour because I've pretty much lost interest in them years ago, but it's sad for me because I'd always hoped that they would come full circle and write more classic stuff and go out that way. But this just proves that Judas Priest left me behind and in the end they were not my favorite band...
