Interesting factoid from Rob:
“Sea of Red from our Firepower record talks about Remembrance Day 11th November. Lest we forget”

Acolyte- got around to KK's book, one surprise in there that Baxter was an item with Rob, my thoughts are that KK really wanted to let fly but always pulled back from absolutely saying something about a particular subject, there was for me an underlying message that he never fully shares, was it because he felt a true tell all would ruin any chances of a reunion? Or any chance of reconciliation? I don't know. It just seemed to me that he was bursting to tell us exactly. What actually transpired but faced possible ramifications either personally/professionally. The drug and alcohol stories were a bit weird for me, Rob gets a paragraph about his issues approx. And then moves on, yet there is repeated mention of Glenn is actually the one with the issues IMO as a reader. The other thing for me is the lack of pictures, really a dozen pictures after almost 40 years come on the book should have been full of candid pics,also not a lot on his rigs and guitars, I am not a player but I know he has inspired a lot of people to play, so I would gladly have hung around for a chapter or 2 while he made some guitarophile's day! I will look through it again as I think more on it and post, Cheers

Whatever the situation was we'll never know but whoever it waswho made the decision NOT to tour Nostra-bore-us in it's entirety I'd like to hug and Kiss them because I fuckin HATE that album.
There are 5 albums that shouldn't of been recorded and shoved off on us fans: TURBO...RAM IT DOWN...JUGULATOR....DEMOLITION... ...NOSTRADAMOUS. They should have Mr.Yuk stickers on them. HA!
Here is some fun:
Here's my "The Worst Of Judas Priest" double album 21 tracks excluding at least the Jugulator,Demolition and Nostradamous albums:
1.Here Come The Tears 2.Burning Up 3.Before The Dawn 4.Evil Fantasies 5.Don't Go 6.All The Way 7.Troubleshooter 8.Eat Me Alive 9.Turbo Lover 10.Locked In 11.Private Property (2nd worst Priest track ever) 12.Parental Guidance(THE worst Priest song ever) 13.Hot For Love 14.Love Zone 15.Im A Rocker 16.Johnny Be Goode 17.Love You To Death 18.Monsters Of Rock 19.Revolution 20.Lochness 21.Metalizer
These songs I've always hated and think they shouldn't of even been recorded. I know some like some of these songs and to each his own but also I know there are other tracks that come close but I somehow still like every song not mentioned here and those 3 shit albums I excluded.

JANE did, no question. The band would have and SHOULD have exploded without her / Curbishley. MUST have had backing from someone in the band.
Ain't pointing no fingers, as I have yet to read the book, but we all know without any whistle-blowers what happened. Baxtergate, anyone? All a sad situation there. Still... Make mine PRIEST!
I respect your opinion. I'm not talking about keeping the band together and making more albums, I was referring to KK stating that Jane and Glenn would not tour in the summer months and refusing to do interviews or anything else that was presented to the band. I always felt the management did not do a good job of promoting Priest and they suffered from that. Also, Halford has said he wanted to do a full Nos concert which I think would have been great but probably would have cost them more than they would have earned. I have no ill will against Glenn but from different interviews I have heard and things I have read Glenn most certainly had the say so in Priest so again I feel he did hurt the band back in the day.

@Metalman JP from the blah thread....
I highly disagree with everything you've said. I've never had the impression Glenn was a "jerk" not to mention I don't believe everything K.K. says. And not sure how Glenn held the band back supposedly "taking over"? Had he not the last Judas Priest album would of been 2008's Nostradamous lp.
Downing has BOLDLY made it CLEAR he wanted to PUSH Judas Priest into the NOSTRADAMOUS direction touring it....and has also said that He wanted Nostradamous to be the LAST Priest album. Had Glenn not took hold of the wheel this band would be retired long ago.
