Hey, let's get this straight. I do NOT want to see Priest one last time. I want to see them dozens. I would also argue that I am the bigger Priest fan over Hellrider. LOL!!!!
As always, very interesting comments, JD. I mean that quite sincerely.

I agree with Rob Ward to a point here. THis is not aimed at you Meltdown but although I respect other member's opinions and the fact that they want to see Priest live one last time I get that,but for me no fuckin way. Are you kidding me here?
They take 3 and a half long years just to create Nostradamus,an album that is anything but "Judas Priest" and then since they couldn't cash in on the tour because the album sucked that much they pull a switcheroo and strike up a 30 year old album and tour it for a year and a half? And then 3 years after the Nostradamus LP they talk shit here and there about possibly making another studio LP just to pull a "Nah....we've decided to do another carbon copy tour again with no album" crap? And we are supposed to jump for fuckin joy because they are going out on tour again? AGAIN?
Rob came back and did a reunion tour,the Angel Of Retribution tour,the 6 week Nostradamus tour because it sucked that bad,the British Steel reunion tour and now a fuckin farewell Epitaph tour? And alls this band really has to show for it is the 2005's Angel Of Retribution album in which ironically the biggest Priest fan of them all(Hellrider) hates it! I however love the album,but they could of done way better,but thats the only thing that has come from this 7 years with Rob being back,and I for one think it "sucks". I think it sucks "big time".
Judas Priest will always be the Godfathers of heavy metal but they have not upheld that title at all,not even close. The last 20 years has only 2 albums worth a shit,Painkiller and Angel of Retribution,they had a huge opportunity when Rob came back,they should of had a blistering album out after Angel Of retribution for 2007,should of had another one out in 2009 and we should of been waiting for the final LP in 2011 and like John Belushi always said: "But Nooooooooooooooo" we ain't got "shit" and we are supposed to jump up and down because they decided to tour again with no LP? Bullshit.
Priest will always be the masters of heavy metal and the Godfathers of heavy metal but they are anything but defenders of the faith,not even close. Since Motorhead isn't really heavy metal and how Iron Maiden sucks as bad as they do(yes Brian,they fucking SUCK!) Saxon have been the band that upholds "consistancy" because thier last 7 studio LPs are great and consistant,they actually blow away Judas Priest and Iron Maiden put together and it shouldn't be like this even though I like Saxon,it should of been Judas Priest who should of had the last 7 studio albums top notch,but they did this to themselves. What a sad ending to a once great band. Priest SUCKS for not giving thier fans a real heavy metal album to go out on,they will be forever looked at as this end of thier career fizzling out like a dud firecracker,its fucking "sad".
