I have to agree with you there..... this is a business arrangement now. So very sad that it should all end this way. And if they do a bloody acoustic album, I'm gonna take a sledgehammer to it!!

EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read that! It was written by a woman who is obviously NOT a Priest fan, hanging out with the drunk people on the edges of the crowd. And to answer your question, YES the Priest fans ARE the only ones that matter!

Sounds to me like he could see what was going on up front as well as what was happening on the fringes, maybe he was backstage. Turns out it was a review from the Wacken Open Air Festival so after a couple of days of hard out moshing maybe the crowd were exhausted. Ozzy had the benefit of playing to them 24 hours earlier when they weren't so tired, hence the energy levels were higher when he played. He never at any point says that Priest played badly. He just says the crowd weren't as into it as they were the night before. More to the point, what I want to know is, with the back catalogue Priest have, why the fuck are they playing Prophecy of all songs? Tedious, unimaginative, standard metal riffs with annoying screechy voacls, stupid lyrics and the dumbest chorus ever a five year old could have thought up. If they are gonna crank out 15-20 songs that one doesn't deserve to be in there when thay have so many awesome tunes to pick from.

This is understandable, I think, because Ozzy has a much wider audience than what Priest has and even people who weren't diehard Ozzy fans would be familiar with the majority of his set. Hence the reason they perked up a bit when BTL was played. To tell you the truth I, as a big Priest fan for 20 years, would probably use Prophecy as a reason to go and grab a beer too. Also by the sounds of it this was a festival show so it's understandable that the crowds enthusiasm might have waned a little after however many hours moshing. And being a festival not necessarily everyone is there to see Priest anyway. I actually thought it was quite a favourable review and maybe it was taken as part of a review from the festival as a whole rather than a critique of Priests set alone. |

Sorry to hear this...
Legendary midland metallers fail to follow in the footsteps of fellow Birmingham metal-god, Ozzy.
A two and a half hour headline set would be a lot for any band, but for Judas Priest – it’s just not worth it. The density and passion of those at the front made for a pretty great gig, but the telltale signs of apathy were to be seen around the edges where scores of tired and hungry rockers were ignoring the music in favour of bratwurst and a sit-down.
Acting every bit the metal gods they are in music history, covered in as many spiked studs as can fit on an entire suit made of leather and sporting some natty head tattoos, frontman Rob Halford spiralled about the stage swishing his fringed arms at the crowd during newer song ‘I am Nostradamus’. The on stage flames and laser displays weren’t enough to make this the epic headline performance it should have been, despite the talent and sheer classic metal high regard in which they are held.
Halford screamed into the night “Are you ready for Judas Priest style heavy metal?” to which one sleeping metal-head lifted his hat to say ‘Nein’. Fans perked up for ‘Breaking The Law’ and arrival of the huge black motorbike on stage. Ending the show wearing German flag, Halford sang them out in style.
Judas Priest played a great set, for Judas Priest fans. For everyone else, it paled in comparison to Ozzy’s previous nights’ performance.

I find that hardly beliveable coming from none other than "Germany" the greatest place in the world for all styles of metal.
Halford could have his worst night on the tour in Germany and they wouldn't care in the least,sounds like a fake report to me.
