The date was 10th of september and the priest was due on stage in about 2 hours! The time was approximately 7:45 pm! Bumped into old friends and started consuming massive quantitys of alcohol, (didn`t bother about support bands-THEY SUCK COMPARED TO PRIEST)! The time is now 9:00 pm and the bar has run out of beer,(With a half our before the show, this is disastrous)! But alas, Bundy and cola are still available, much to our delight! The time is now 9:29 as we scramble to our seats to the roar of the crowd we are ushered to the opening sounds of Dawn of creation/Prophecy! THE REST IS HISTORY.........!!!!!!!!! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

Perth 16th September 2008. THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!! I was right in the front row on the barrier, in the dead centre of the stage. What an awesome performance. The whole band was in fine form throughout the whole set! They played the same full set list as on the rest of the tour. Highlights for me were Eat Me Alive, Rock Hard Ride Free, Sinner and when Rob got wheeled out on that awesome throne for Messenger of Death I nearly died. But then, in the middle of Green Manalishi, Glenn came right up the front of the stage, so I blew him a kiss, and GUESS WHAT!!!! He blew one right back!!!!!  I got to shake his hand at the end of the gig too. At the beginning of Between the Hammer and the Anvil the whole front row started doing this  in time to the music. Priest kicks ass!!!!!!!!!
Rob said they have the day off today and are going shopping in the city, so it looks like I am off Priest hunting again today in my lunch break. They HAVE to come back for the Nostradamus concert. Anywhere in Australia is fine - just one gig and I will fly there to see it. But this time I am getting a meet and greet ticket.
Thanks for a top night lads. You really blew the roof off!!!!!! |

I do believe had priest of come at different time of year there would of been a sell out in melbourne, other than that the gig was excellent to the extreme. |

| U sure hope they come again next time! I was suching a great performence! I saw them over in Melbourne and I managed to get to the barrier on K K Downing's side. The highlight for me was Rock Hard Ride Free I could help my scream andscream until my lungs went dry and even then I kept on yelling and scream |

Just back from Sydney... Priest blew me away for the second time. "what you say Sydney!!" fuck yeah! I love the fact that they played Devils Child, Green Manalishi and Dissident Aggressor never thought they'd play em live.
Anyone who has photos from either gig i'd love to see them, Myself am having a few problems with the computer but as soon as i can i have footage and photos from both shows to post. |

| no idea what they played in brisbane but in vancouver they played Prophecy and Death off Nostradamus, Painkiller, Hell Patrol, Night Crawler and Between The Hammer and The Anvil from Painkiller, Eat Me Alive and Rock Hard Ride Free from Defenders, Electric Eye, Devils Child and You Got Another Thing Coming from Screaming, Breakin The Law and Metal Gods From Brit Steel, Green Manalishi And Hell Bent For Leather off Killing Machine and Dissident Aggressor and Sinner fron Sin After Sin. I think thats it plus some awesome solos from glenn, kk and scott. Hope you enjoy the show bro, it's gonna be awesome. |

Well what an awesome show in Brissie last night! The guys were in terrific form and really seemed to enjoy themselves. And Rob... well some people may say his singing is not what it was but what a load of crap. He is nearly 60 but he still has the best voice ever and his singing was brilliant. He hit all the high notes and really gave it everything. Priest also played some songs I didn't expect and also played for nearly two hours (alot longer than advertised with Ticketek). All in all the best gig I have ever been to and I have now been to over 60 odd, including all the legendary bands...they are just that good. I really hope alot of people turn out to their remaining Aussie shows and lets get them back again (with a decent promoter next time).
Judas Fucking Priest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Priest is comming to blow you away Sydney!! the Brisbane gig was absolutely f*&^ing amazing!!!!!! They played so many songs i never expected to hear live, i wont mention what songs of course. My brother and I were on the front barrier smack bang in the middle. For those of you who saw the handcuffs go up on stage towards the end of the gig.. yes they were mine and yes my brother threw them up there! So damn wicked!! We got plenty of attention from Ian Hill probably because we kept screaming out his name .. gotta love it.

Hey guys,
I was all lined up for the Gig on Friday in Sydney at ACER Arena.............I was totally pumped for it.
Now I am not going to be able to make it and I am severely pissed off.
That said I have 2 tickets for the front section standing (where you can get right up to the stage) on offer.
Not sure if this is cool or not on this site so apologies if I'm not supposed to offer tickets here.
Anyone interested?? Let me know
Not happy, but what can you do............................

JUDAS IS RISING!!! Today is the day for those in Brisbane - time to start the pre-gig warm up. Got Judas Priest cranked on the stereo, gonna go get some more beer soon, all the family is comming together for this one. Am very proud to be a second generation fan, i hope there's more at the concert - i'm starting to think there are no other fans in Brisbane around my age, exept my brother. It is our duty to carry the flame! "Caaaalllll for the Priest im dyyyyyyyin'!!!"

Well folks the first gig of the Aussie tour is almost here. Can't wait to hear the lads in Brissie tomorrow and I know they will raise the roof. I hope a good sized crowd turns up with the whole promoter and ticket fiasco now behind us!
Have been excited for this gig since the tickets went on sale many months ago and I know it will be awesome.
Currently having a beer and cheers to the Metal Gods. |

Never heard of those support acts. When the tour was first announced I tried to get the support gig for Alchemist, what a blast that would have been! I got Roy from Alchemist to send copies of Austral Alien and Organasm to Jayne, but I guess it never got any further, Alchemist is supporting Meshuggah in a couple of weeks in Brisbane anyway, so I'll get to see them then.
For anyone who doesn't know Australia's top 'serious' metal band, try...
www.alchemist.com.au
They'll quite literally blow you away!

(when Ripper came i had front row tix at the enmore- missed that but luckily bought tix at the door in melbourne!) just as long you play and keep playing (whatever you play will be f***in awesome...though rapid fire and hotrockin would make me really happy. thanks for the opportunity to message!
