That is a great comment and clearly from the heart. From my point of view I wouldn't want to see Priest without KK. He's been there from the beginning and he and Glenn are responsible for that distinct sound that a hired hand just wouldn't be able to create. I think they will have lost their soul and his absence will be massivly apparent on stage.
It reminds me of when Adrian Smith left Maiden. No Prayer For the Dying and to a lesser extent Fear Of The Dark are weak by Maiden's standards and I think Adrian's departure was almost as significant as Bruce''s and if he hadn't returned when Bruce had, Maiden would not be where they are now.
I would be happier remembering Priest with KK [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Tuesday, April 26, 2011 4:33:16 PM)

Really? But you'd give in if Eddie Van Halen was playing? What does that say about YOU? I am going to the farewell tour to say THANK YOU and goodbye to my favorite band OF ALL TIME! If KK chooses not to be a part of it, then that is HIS choice. Rob, Glenn, Ian and Scott deserve to be recognized for everything they have given the world of music. Don't go to the show, it'll leave more front row seats for the rest of us that want to THANK PRIEST for all they have given us!!

So is this the Farewell Tour or what? Talk of a new album, that probably means a new tour. Rob taking 50%?? LOL this can't be true. KK is probably upset Rob promotes himself so much at the expense of Priest. And I will say right now that anytime any of these guys has strayed from the originals, all that has resulted is a 3rd rate version of Priest. I liked the first Fight album's direction and it should have been a Priest album, even more than Painkiller, which was actually a step backward, writing wise. Demolition I became fond of, just because of its pure tenacity. But these guys should never, ever split, it's like The Jacksons going out with a replacement, can't be done. The only way I would go to see this tour is if they got Eddie Van Halen as a guest. These posts that are giving in to this show a real lack of Priest acumen.
