Maybe if you didn't say that Rob is physically out of shape, then Judas Priest would still be with you. I mean, come on. Calling someone names is not a good way to maintain a relationship.

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... |

i would consider it a gift if they would stay together and APPLIED THEMSELFS AND FOCUSED ON UNLEASHING THERE GREATEST MOST INTENSE, METALS ULTIMATE ALBUM THE NEXT MIGHTY PRIEST BEAST METAL MONSTER ALBUM.when they reunited i thought they would be continuing off where they left off with THE MIGHTY PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINKILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLER album thinking wow man what will the next 1 be like.that was not the case in my opinion.THIS BAND IS DEFINATLY CAPABLE OF DOING WAY BETTER THAN THEY HAVE SINCE THEY REUNITED.THEY ARE NOT USING THERE FULL POTENTIAL AND BY POSSIBLE RETIRMENT ARE JUST THROWING IT ALL AWAY.

 Your welcome, I do what I can! But it's a good thing that you weren't sitting with us in DEEEEETROIT, because you would have lost Scott's stick to me! I too am also grateful to Priest for giving me the opportunity to make such wonderful friendships. I've met DF and Guido in Detroit - (two awesome guys) and Bev and Ron in Chicago - what a GREAT time we had with them too! We also met Funeral Pyre from the Q in Cleveland at the show and I FINALLY got to meet the great Jim "Nostradamus" Bartek in Cleveland at the Hard Rock before the show! AWESOME people, every one of you! Hoping to meet many more in the future!!

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.

Because Priest have never had a multi platinum seller that has gone to number one around the world. They've never bridged the gap into the mainstream and all the other bands you mentioned have.

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. |

I agree that Painkiller was their last great album, 20 years ago. I still say It's all about swagger and if they realeased one more cd that had that old swagger like "Painkiller", "SFV", Defenders" or even the live "Unleashed In The East" they could go out on top.
