Fake social media accounts

Sunday, October 14, 2018

As there are so many fake Judas Priest accounts on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc - proclaiming that they are the 'Official or Real' Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, Ian Hill, Richie Faulkner, Scott Travis or anything at all to do with Judas Priest - we want to make it very clear that the only Official band socials are listed on our website - anything else is not genuine so please don't be taken in and please do not send money to anything they say they are offering - they are nothing at all to do with Judas Priest!!

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM GLENN

Wednesday, March 14, 2018

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM GLENN:

By now many of you will know I won't be doing the forthcoming Judas Priest tour because of health issues---I�m so sorry but four years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's and was told by my specialist that I had already had it for over ten years - I knew something was wrong with my co-ordination and fluency regarding my playing but I worked around it and battled on - I have good days and bad days but the disease is degenerative and I would never want to compromise the greatest metal band in the world---it was therefore during the last rehearsals I decided to step down and have Andy Sneap fill in---he's a great guy and I'm sure he'll do a great job - I'm sure the band will be as strong than ever

I have been overwhelmed by the massive support and love I�ve had from other artists and from fans all over the world and from many friends and metal maniacs out there - it's not the end for me - I�ll still be able to write and record and on good days even join the band on stage for a few songs - with new medication and advances being made who knows what the future holds - but one thing's for sure - it will certainly involve Priest!

Finally the biggest thanks goes to Rob, Richie, Ian and Scott who have stood by me and supported me through everything - GLENN

GLENN TIPTON/JUDAS PRIEST DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSONS

Monday, February 12, 2018

Ten years ago Glenn was diagnosed to have the onset of the early stages of Parkinson’s - from then until recently Glenn has lived his life as the great heavy metal guitar player he has always been, maintaining by his own definition a standard of quality and performance that is incredibly important.

Right now Glenn is able to play and perform some of the Priest songs that are less challenging but due to the nature of Parkinson's progression he wants to let you all know that he won't be touring as such -

True to the metal spirit of 'the show must go on' Glenn has requested Andy Sneap to fly the flag on stage for him

“I want everyone to know that it’s vital that the Judas Priest tour go ahead and that I am not leaving the band - it’s simply that my role has changed. I don’t rule out the chance to go on stage as and when I feel able to blast out some Priest! So at some point in the not too distant future I’m really looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful metal maniacs once again”

Rob, Richie, Ian and Scott have this to say:

“We have been privileged to witness Glenn’s determination and steadfast commitment over the years, showing his passion and self belief through the writing, recording and performing sessions with Priest - he is a true metal hero! We are not surprised by Glenn’s insistence that we complete the Firepower tour and thank Andy for joining us to make Glenn’s wishes become real - As Glenn has said we also can’t wait to have him with us at any time any place on the road..... We love you Glenn!”

FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS WITH BRAND NEW STUDIO ALBUM - 'FIREPOWER'

Thursday, January 11, 2018

Judas Priest could easily rest on their laurels at this stage of their highly successful and influential career. However, the legendary metal band - singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis - refuse to do so as evidenced by the arrival of their eighteenth studio album overall - 'Firepower.' Set for release on Friday 9th March 2018 via Columbia / Epic Records - the album is comprised of fourteen tracks of pure and highly inspired metal. And to mark the occasion Priest has reunited with producer Tom Allom (the man behind the board for all of the band�s releases from 1979-1988, including such stellar classics as 'Unleashed in the East', 'British Steel', 'Screaming for Vengeance' and 'Defenders of the Faith') and with Grammy Award-winning producer Andy Sneap also helping to raise the sonic bar even higher.

Album is available to pre-order now on CD, limited edition coloured vinyl and digital from the official Judas Priest store

"Tom Allom has got this classic metal thing," explains Halford. "And Andy is a bit more of a 'modern metal producer' but his thinking is a little bit different to Tom's. And I think to get this balance between that classic old school metal to what Andy's world is was just a remarkable coalescence." �Tom Allom has been with us since 1979, so his knowledge of ourselves and our music in general is immense,� adds Hill. And according to Travis Priest returned back to a recording method that worked incredibly well on the band�s earlier classics - �We went back to the organic way of recording where it�s all of us in a room and we got to play together.�

The album's first single 'Lightning Strike' will be available now on all download and streaming services

10TH STUDIO ALBUM TURBO REMASTERED

10TH STUDIO ALBUM TURBO REMASTERED

3CD REISSUE OUT 3RD FEB 2017

Judsa Priest Turbo 30 Album cover artwork

British metal legends Judas Priest announce the reissue of their 10th studio album, Turbo. The album has been remastered and will be released via Sony Music on 3rd February 2017 on 3CD (the original album and 2 bonus discs) as well as 1LP 180g vinyl.

Originally released in 1986, Turbo features all the hallmarks of classic Priest on tracks such as "Turbo Lover", "Parental Guidance" and "Locked In". Included on disc 2 and 3 of the CD reissue is Live in Kansas City, a live recording from the band�s 1986 Fuel For Life tour in support of Turbo.

The band add "The 80's is considered to have been the best decade for heavy metal - Judas Priest roared through it and at the half way point went into unchartered territory with 'Turbo'. Always believing that metal should have no boundaries, Priest challenged themselves taking on board new technical inventions to create fresh ideas and push their sound forward. The combined songs show another side of Priest's range of creativity that captures a theme and energy infused with the over the top sensibilities of that era. The 'Fuel For Life' tour certainly encapsulated the decadence of the times! 'Turbo' remastered and accompanied by a pedal to the metal live recording from Kansas reveals Priest on high octane - Raising fists and devil horns to the next level."

Message from Rob about Badlands show

Saturday, June 18, 2016

Well metal maniacs those of you attended the Badlands show saw and felt the full on wrath of nature. Intense lightning storms and gale force winds put all of us at risk. Safety for yourselves and everyone backstage was and always will be the most important factor. I can't tell you how gutted we all felt for all of you who traveled to the venue and it goes without saying that if there was the slightest chance we could have made the show happen we would have.
Thank you Chuck for the amazing time I spent with you and your team. Also to my new friends from the Hairball band - you guys are true musicians in every sense.
So hey there will be another time to jam and I look forward to that moment.
Love Rob TMG

British Steel, Stained Class, Sad Wings of Destiny, Painkiller... Judas Priest’s albums have made them metal royalty - now join them for a night of leather and loud music.

Hailing from Birmingham AKA the "birthplace of Heavy Metal", Judas Priest were part of the second wave of metal in the 70s. Taking cues from bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Judas Priest were responsible for discarding the blues influence of the heavy metal at the time and shaping the sound for years to come (not to mention writing one of the most recognisable riffs of the entire genre).

After a long and illustrious career that has outlasted most of the bands they influenced, Judas Priest have received every accolade under the sun, including Platinum selling albums, VH1 Rock Honors and a Grammy. With no signs of slowing down, come and witness the brute power that made metal what it is today.

Judas Priest keep it a strictly heavy affair, choosing monster tracks from AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Motorhead and Metallica, they also throw in some bands that influenced them, like The Who, Joe Cocker and Cream.

Watch Judas Priest guest program Rage on Saturday 11th April from 10:30-11:30am, returning for the night from 12:17pm on ABC.

Tribute to Paul 'Bomber' Jackson

Sunday, February 15, 2015

On Friday we had the very sad and unexpected news that our stage manager - Paul 'Bomber' Jackson - had passed away - this came as a total shock to us all - he was due to leave on tour with us this weekend for Australia and we know he was really looking forward to being part of our exceptional team again - Bomber had worked for us for many years - he not only did a great job and worked very long hours but he was also a friend - he was always bright and chirpy - a very witty and funny man - we all had plenty of fun times with him over the years - at this time none of us can really get our heads round losing him - he will be sorely missed - may you rest in peace Bomber - we miss you.

JUDAS PRIEST'S 'REDEEMER OF SOULS' DEBUTS IN BILLBOARD TOP TEN

Thursday, July 17, 2014

Judas Priest's 17th studio effort overall, 'Redeemer of Souls,' is set to debut in the Billboard 200 charts at #6, which is the highest US album chart debut of the legendary British band's career. Also, with a #5 chart debut in Canada, it is the highest chart-peaking album and first top five debut in the Canada Soundscan era.

And the album reviews have been some of the best of Priest's entire career as well, including Rolling Stone declaring "'Redeemer' is proof that Priest can still call themselves metal's defenders of the faith," while All Music Guide stated "'Redeemer of Souls' is also the loosest (attitude-wise), leanest (arrangementwise), and most confident-sounding collection of new material the band has released in ages."

It was also recently announced that Priest (singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis) will be hitting the road this fall, along with special guests Steel Panther.

To purchase 'Redeemer of Souls' (which is available as both a 13-track standard version and a 18-track deluxe version), follow these links:
http://smarturl.it/redeemerofsouls-albm - iTunes
http://smarturl.it/redeemerofsouls-amzn - Amazon

The metal gods have returned with the triumphant 'Redeemer of Souls' ...and their strongest stateside and Canadian chart positioning ever!
