They should consider replacing The Green Manalishi with Wheels Of Fire. Much the same as they replaced Diamonds And Rust with Angel. Their own version of a song of same category and similar style as such will always kick more ass. What I find grossly unjust is...TGM is a cover and has been played out so much, whereas WOF being a 'Priest tune has gotten virtually no attention...neither in promotion, nor in concerts. *Crosses my fingers for this to be played* [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Yes Cobra...Wheel Of Fire is a classic that gets no credit...but "Heading Out To The Highway" is an awsome song that is every bit as worthy as Wheels Of Fire!!! Heading Out To The Highway is what got me into Judas Priest back in 1981!!
When I saw this video,it changed my entire musical outlook for sure!!
Hot Rockin' is awsome too!! But if you are talking about "On The Run" from Point Of Entry and how Wheel Of Fire is much better,than I agree!! Desert Plains is an absolute Priest classic that stands the test of time as well as Wheels Of Fire.

Glad you mentioned Wheels Of Fire. That is such a classic Priest tune and yet got no attention. It beats the shit out of any of those highway songs off Point Of Entry for sure. Would be great to hear Wheels Of Fire live. It's such a classic 'Priest tune.

I'm glad they shelved Nostradamus from playing it live,this is not what Judas Priest is all about anyways,yes Nostradamus is a well put together record,ect..a masterpiece of originality and very innovative,but really its not Judas Priest and its not what they do best.
I hope by playing British Steel live,they get back into that frame of mind of writting classic stylled Judas Priest songs like Angel Of Retribution's "Judas Rising"....Deal With The Devil....Demonizer,Wheel Of Fire...Hellrider...elegy...ect...these are examples of real Judas Priest classics and this is what the band needs to be thinking about when writting the next LP.
