What does your struggling musician play? Is he in a band and is there a way to listen to it?

I just missed out on the the ram it down tour so can't comment im afraid ( I saw a few people wearing the ram it down tour shirts in the pub before the gig ). I had to wait until the painkiller tour in 1991.
I am certain that the band made no mention that it was the last tour. I know from their posts on the site that they intend to continue as a band with regards to recording/some performing but they have made it clear that this is the last world tour.
I liked diamond and rust too- I have seen the acoustic version but i agree that the version at the concert was better.

I thought the same about the "farewell tour". They made no issue of that fact at all , did they? They can continue to play live shows without doing world tours I suppose. They certainly never suggested it was your last chance to see them, and yes it was unusual to not see KK Downing when he's been there for ever.
I liked Blood red skies too, can't remember if I've heard it played live before unless they did it on the Ram it down tour, but that's a long time ago?
Liked the version of diamonds & rust they did too part accoustic then into the heavier Priest version which I prefer

I was at Manchester too. Great show and set list. Exellent to see 'blood red skies'.
I thought the drums were a bit loud over the rest of the band which was a bit distracting but not such that it was annoying.
hard to beleive it is farewell from JP (in a manner of speaking)
I know that KK has gone and his replacement unquestionably has a big pair of shoes to fill but thats not to say KK was greatly missed by me. When i saw JP on the last tour i was mesmerised by KKs perfomanxce on 'sinner'

Good show in Manchester last night. Halford never opened his mouth during "Breaking the Law" , the audience sang the whole song !! I know a few people thought KK Downing should be there, but he's gone & that's that, and I thought Richie Faulkner had good stage presence, playing a good part in the show & put on a good performance.
Queensryche seemed to go down OK with any fans they had in the crowd , but never having been one myself, I can't really comment on their performance. |

Still no mention on ticketmaster about the new U.S. dates.This is just bizarre.I smell post-middle age burn out in the management!

Glad you enjoyed it.Are you serious though that Halford did'nt sing one word for Breaking the Law? I know he lets the audience sing lyrics more and more in recent years but if it goes this far I guess maybe it is time to retire.I imagine some fans that never got to hear him sing that classic in person would be real disappointed to not hear one word from Rob.It would be Unparalled and UNBELIEVABLE..headscratch??

I think the biggest thing from the lack of info for tourdate onsale dates and all is that the management is ready to retire too or helping the band to decide on it.Look at K.K. for starters.They should be fired at least some of them for mismanagement.You rarely get any news on here about them and its been going on a long time.Its like they can't be bothered and are busy with whatever.Sadly many bands are afraid to fire management cause they usually get their assets froze and the managers try a long protracted lawsuit against them.I'll bet the management have taken on too many acts and all.You need someone who only takes care of you.Does their manager still mamage The Who and gosh knows who else? God knows he was a powerful dude but he's been around forever.Is it Bill Curbishley,his name? Whats the deal with Mrs. Andrews?

| Thanks buds, all I can say, is God knows Priest fans have poured their hearts into the band (and their $'s) for DECADES, not even knowing the heck I can even get the 'right' to buy the cheapest $100 ticket is just about my last straw - if this was not the farewell tour (note no KK - total Sux), and my youngest daughter almost begging me to take her - I might just pass. But, I am a lifelong, singleminded fan. So I wait. Ageneral3. |

Always fantastic. Since the first on 1984 to the last on June 22nd, 2011.
They were the best, they are the best, they will be the best, also once retired.
Then, in the future, if a new metal group could be able to play for about 40 years and giving me the same emotions judas priest gave on the last 30 years i could change my opinion, but 'til now absolutely NO !! |

some of those resellers are owned by ticketbastard, in arangments that are not legal in all places. perhaps that explains the discrepancy. I read a bit of an article on that a year ago, cant remember most of it now though

I have never once read or heard of an interview where any of the band members have not have anything but positive things to say about their fans and all the support they have received all these years.
That said, someone still has to answer for tix fiascos like not even being announced! Buck stops with JP management after all is said and done, I say.

Yea, ya get sick of going back everyday to ticketbastard to see if the 2nd leg of the USA dates are up but still nothing.It is getting old already.Plus it was worded as being 'more U.S. dates' as if there may be more to the 2nd leg.I keep wondering if another Florida date might pop up.Even loads of bands much smaller tell you when shows go onsale.I'm only one person and to think maybe thousands of fans keep wasting their time going back to ticket sites over and over to try and find stuff out shows this site lacks consideration.

While I am glad to have mine, someone dropped the ball bigtime here, IMO. Can't get proper info on the band's site? Ticketbastard / whomever selling out the first rows to scalpers?
Glad to be going but, without a doubt, sumphin' jest ain't rite.
