LOL I'm sure many of us have done some crazy stuff drunk with JP in the background....... My brother and I were quite often in the front garden screaming the lyrics to many a JP tune at 3am on a Friday or Saturday... Only once did we have a neighbour complain.... after a bit of an arguement we invited him in for a beer..... He was cool with it after that... hahahhaa
As for JP tour management, yes they have done a very shitty job, the tour they did in here Australia only got a few late night commercials..... No posters in the city, no fliers NOTHING!!!! I only found out about the tour from my Mums metalhead friend from down south..... I went to my fave record shop in the city about a month before the gig... was buying some metal merch.... got talking about Priest.... the guy behind the counter didn't even know they were playng in OZ.... How bad is that!!!! And my Ex... major old school metal head.... had no freakin clue about the tour..................... Unless you had connections, or were a member of the ticket-tek website... OR had cable tv and stayed up late to watch headbangers ball you had no idea they were on tour!!!! Such a shame!!! Loads of people know who Priest are and will pay to see them,...... they just need to know when they are touring!!!!!!!!!! Better promo is sorely needed..... and yes us sinful gals would do an immense job at it..... All they need to do is let us know about the tour a few months in advance.

In the spirit to lighten things up a bit, here's a funny JP drunk story about myself from 8 years ago.
It's 2am and I was driving home in my green Monte Carlo from a hard night of drinking with the boys. I had to pee so I parked my car outside of my condo complex so I could relieve myself in the ditch. After peeing I realized I had locked myself out of my car so I walked to my condo, up three flights of stairs then off to bed. I awoke early the next morning with that sick feeling of "how the hell did I get home and where is my car?" I remembered I had locked myself out and it was parked outside of the complex. So with bloodshot eyes and har standing strait up I walked downstairs to my hot neighbor's condo to ask if she would call AAA.
So there we are with AAA outside of my car, STILL RUNNING from the night before and JUDAS PRIEST's "Freewheel Burning" blazing away on volume 10! ON REPEAT! You got to love those repeat buttons on the car stereos. The AAA man jimmyed my door and truned off my car and stereo and said "so you like Judas Priest"?
Needless to say I was embarrassed and wanted to crawl in a hole.
