Hey gang! Saw the news about KK. VERY sad. Just will not be Priest without him. I had considered catching one of the shows but, in all honesty, I simply cannot see spending the money and going to the "final" show when it is not really Priest.
I know the guys will deliver a tremendous performance and it will likely still be an incredible event but, for me, it would be like going to one of the shows with Ripper. Just not Priest, for ME.
As I suspected when I heard about the "final" tour, this is the end of an icon. They will always be special to me and I will cherish the wonderful memories that Judas Priest gave me. I think that (again for ME) it is just better that I remember them as they were. I am SO thankful that I made the trip with Guido to Detroit and then again here in Vegas! THAT is how prefer to remember my final concert with them.
Much like this site, I will leave remembering some truly wonderful moments in my life. Some great times! To all of you, take care of yourselves and remember all the good things! Thank you for the great years!
