Exactly!
Thanks to all for the kind words about the letter. Interacting here at JP.com, having had the chance to meet some of you in Vegas (listening / reading stories of encounters, or how JP has affected(?) their lives), seeing photos from meet & greets, and my own personal experiences, was the inspiration; an email from WhiskeyWoman was the motivation!

I liked your letter in the Moments thread, and that's what it will take as they do not recognize petitions, but a letter can be sent. Thanks for posting the address!!

In my mind, these honors are a fantastic way to say "way to go guys!" And I think, with that knowledge, they might be humbled.
It is an awesome thought Ron!

As a fan I am happy that their effort on Nosatrdamus was at least recognized.

I know that they never cared about such things, and in the grand scheme of things none of it really does matter.
I guess like any good parent, when you see that someone (something) you love makes an impression on others, I tend to smile a little and think, 'way to go guys!!' |

The winners of Grammy awards don't always depicte what bands are better than others,
or what albums were the beast of the year;I mean I don't care for who's the winner,I know Judas Priest is one of the best bands and Nostradamus is great. |

yes, I agree that it doesn't matter who grabs the awards, I am just happy that JP are being recognised for what they do, i don't like them because of the awards but because of their music, anyway it's nice to read and to know that they've been nominated because many people who otherwise would not have heard of them will probably listen to their music, just another proof that 'Nostradamus' opened the music of JP to more people not necessarily heavy metal fans.
just my opinion :-) |

Who cares?
I loath those stupid bloody award ceremonies whether it's the Grammies, Oscars, Golden Globes, Britannia Music awards etc
It's just a bunch of sycophantic, egostistical, back slapping, idiots pretending how wonderful everybody else is.
They're worthless. Just because someone get an award doesn't mean they've got any talent.
Look at the crap they've handed out awards to in the past. The Spice Girls got an Ivor Novello awards for Christ's sake.
If Priest had any sense they would tell them to shove it . The Grammies and such like are beneath them. |
