Would love to see them do it! They thus far have a few sites they still need to go! Some of the Far eastern european counties, South Africa, New Zeland! (for you Becks!) They will hopefully get around to it in their time. Seriously, I hope they pause long enough to put out another album/CD! God, would love to hear some new stuff before they retire! I think we all talk about them retiring, but you have not heard a word out of them about it! We make them older than they feel! They are all still in great shape! Go Priest!!!!

Seems like they would, but there is alot of space between europe and there and maybe it's a logistics thing. For some reason I'm convinced Priest wish to play every corner of the world before retiring so, like you said, there's still hope. Good to hear some local boys still go out and pull themselves up by their bootstraps same way Priest did so many years ago.      joedraper wrote: There is this one local band: Hog Hoggidy Hog (yeah stoopid name but..) I got to know them through having to do interviews and wright ups etc.. They got together and decided to just go to Europe and wing it. So they managed to get onto some bills and toured Europe. They didn't make much money at all. They managed to pay for their transport and accomidation but they also got recognition. They did small venues and some had an audience of ten people some had in the very high hudreds. They went out on their own and now they're pretty popular in Europe.  I had a great time and on evenings like this, I have hope for South African musicians who deserve to be out there where they belong! Still.... Waiting for this big metal band that are on this world tour thing and are going to come here so that I can say I saw Priest in my homeland???

Imagine all the music that get's missed because the band cant get to cash to go to England. Seems very narrow minded on the music industriy's behalf not to promote from within, sort of speak. You should write a review on the band anyway, and freelance it to a mag or another paper.

Sean Morgan (from Seether is actually Shaun Welgemoed) had to change his name because nobody in America could pronounce that lol. They won last year's SAMA award that is the South AFrican Music Awards. And would you believe that some local assclowns actually complained and said that Seether deserted us and became an American band. The truth is that since those boys were teenagers they used to be called Saron Gas, they changed their name to Seether and were forced to go oversees to sign a worthwhile contract. When they were here, they struggled to get on bills and worked their butts off and then when they're finally recognized the assclowns who claim to be diehard fans wonder why they had to go elswhere to do what they were ment to do.


Never was I prouder than on the 15 June last year, I stood front row and winked at Shaun as Seether came home as a headlining act and not one of many insigniicant wannabe's who were in line to take the stage.

Marla, I am not blaming you for anything.  I thought that you didn't want to talk to me. So that's why I said why in the hell do you care.  I know everybody hates me.  And you are only getting one side of the story. You all don't  know went on here, not at this site but at home. And  do you all think that Michael is going to tell the truth.  It really doesn't matter anyways. I no longer care. And I have a good life now. So I am not going to give that up for anyone or anything!! .I wish
 that I have never talked to him!  I can't changed what I have done. I wish that it never happened!
I know that I was an ass. But the man I am with now loves me. I am very happy. I am going to leave it at that.FYI I deleted my whole myspace account. 

WHO IS EVIL POP? I SAW THAT ALSO, BUT WHEN I PURCHASED THE TICKETS IT ONLY SAID WHITESNAKE. I HEARD ANVIL WAS TO BE ADED TO THE TOUR. ANVIL I WOULDN'T MIND. I'M JUST HAPPY TO HAVE MY TICKETS.

Good Morn Metal Family....  TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Its a beautiful day here In Mantitoba  sunny, and warming up!

Hey ,

I don't know the music but who knows it'll be fun. Doing things together is always fun, what men don't do for love ;)

Have fun tonight , I'm sure it'll be a great evening

Hello Defenders...

Well today, I'm going totally out of my league and all for love (or whatever that is ROFL!!  Sorry, just finished reading this boring as hell biography on the Royal Family and I loved that faux paux quote by Prince Charles it's so funny!!)

Anyways, getting back onto the topic of those things we do for love; tonight, I shall be accompanying my husband to a reaggae/dub/calypso music festival. I don't even know what calypso music is but tonight I shall find out. The highlights of the show will be The Dennis Bovel Dub band and Linton Kwesi Johnson (anyone here even heard of them?) Craig is a huge LKJ fan and his eyes just light up when he heard he was going to be touring here so.. when he came home with tickets yesterday I couldn't say.. 'er, can't go.. I'm washing my hair and repainting the dog kennel' lol.. 

I generally love all music so the fact that it's live should be entertaining enough.. just in case though, I shall be bringing enough beer money and my trusty ipod with lol.

I'll let you all know how it goes. Wish me luck!
