Gotta remember at the time that Painkiller was one of there biggest failures commercially, but ironically, 20 years later it's considered one of the best metal albums period. Weird.

1- British Steel is one of the indisputable classics, EVEN though it isn't (and by far in my opinion) their best album.
2- A tour of Nostradamus, and here I'll speak for Europe, would be a flop because general interest to see the whole album played live (as in, a Priest show with no classics and no Painkiller) is well below encouraging.
3- While Rocka Rolla is a great record, Rob can't reach half the songs he sang in there anymore, my friends, and we have to accept it. And singing Run of the Mill without thoser god like screeches at the end would be murdering a fine masterpiece in my opinion.
4- On the same note as the previous point, British Steel is WAY easier to sing overall, and is more adaptable to Rob's current voice. Besides, it's an album that'll have the crowd singing along, and then there'll still be time to put in something else from the classics and even a couple of tunes off Nostradamus!
That said, I think the Nostradamus tour will be delayed ad aeternum. Some dreams are just meant to be dreams, I am a huge fan of the album but I have to admit it wouldn't do them any good to insist on touring the whole of it. |

I would have to agree, that's why British Steel is the best choice. And perfect timing because of the anniversary. |

well said Mara, I agree it's too long and won't keep
the audience attention. I'm stoked to be able to see
British Steel this summer!! Can't wait to get my tix!

People, there are several reasons why doing a British Steel tour is a better idea than pulling off a Nostradamus tour.

The band does enjoy Rocka Rolla, they just hate the production. I got the "remastered" Rocka Rolla with Diamonds and Rust as a bonus track and it all sounds grea to me.

| If I have a chance to see Priest again this summer I will. It is great to see the mighty Priest any time but why play British Steel? I have been a fan since the early 70s. I have heard enough of it. Bring on NOSTRADAMUS!!!! It is a great album. |

| It did only say though that all of British Steel will be played on the US tour. Maybe that's just it. And then hopefully Nostradamus tour. It'd be stupid if they give up Nostradamus tour. I think a lot of fans who have been looking forward to this for so long would be pissed off, including myself. Hopefully this full British Steel shows will be for US tour only and then Nostradamus tour in August/September like they said...at the back of summer which is about that time. |

It seems to me like theyre giving up on the Nostradamus album now, TBH
Which is a shame, i love the album and would love to see a full performance of it |
