First time I saw Richie perform was in that episode in American Idol, where the band played/sang along with that one contestant (speaking of which, I wonder what happened to that dude). I wasn’t sure what to expect of this “replacement of KK". Watching that performance, I was rather surprised with Richie’s solo in BTL. Pleasantly surprised, I might add. Took a liking to him almost immediately.
At the same time, however, I was hit by sadness as this new, other half of the Twin-Axe Attack wasn’t playing a flying V. This new guy had facial hair and piercings and had sunglasses on. That BTL solo was played in a very different style, and yet he was rocking to and fro with Glenn, where KK would stand. First time it hit me that KK was not gonna perform with Judas Priest that night, maybe never again. Perhaps a similar feeling shared by many fans when Ripper first performed with JP.
Still, I'm glad that Richie was given a chance to show the metal world what he’s made of, and proved that he could fill in the role of a Metal God. Like HRMG, I’m glad that the band is still around and continues to give it all that it has. And for the fans (“true” or not), Richie gives us a peek into the Metal Gods way of life in the form of a very active FB page. And who doesn’t enjoy getting such a peek? Heck, even the official JP Facebook page often shares his pics/updates. I do hope that he stays with the band for a long time. Of course, nothing lasts forever, so we’ll see, I guess.

Richie definitely changes their sound. I guess I was prepared for that going into the first show, so it didn't surprise me. I didn't expect it to be the same, just as obviously it wasn't the same when Ripper was in the band. I think it was the same for me with Richie as it was with Ripper - I was happy that my favorite band was still together, kicking metal ass even though the band would never be/sound the same. That may be why it bothers me so much that Priest claims to have played a song off of every album on the Epitaph tour yet completely left out Jugulator and Demolition. They OWE Ripper a huge thank you for stepping into Rob's shoes and taking all the shit he got doing it. Ripper kept Priest alive while Rob did what he needed to do. Rob needed that time away from the band to tell the world who he was without hurting and possibly destroying the band that he loved more than anything. I'm overjoyed that Rob, KK, Ian and Glenn were able to patch things up and get back together. But I also think Ripper was a big part of this band and deserved to be recognized for his contributions to Priest during their farewell tour. Hell, even Bruce sings Blaze's songs!! Ripper is a great guy and deserves better. I'm just thankful for everything they have done since the reunion with Rob, for better or worse. I think Richie fits in well and is truly enjoying interacting with the fans.
We stayed in a hotel. The first two years we bought the hotel package. You end up in a nice hotel (Hyatt, etc.) but the amount of time spent there doesn't really justify the cost for me. I just go on Kayak.com every year about a month or so prior to the event and look for something (comfort inn, holiday inn, and check the reviews.) I get a room for about $69.00 a night each year that way. Never more than 10/15 min drive to the stadium. No matter anything that I may have commented during the Epitaph tour I really have enjoyed the two shows since. Agree or not Richie changes their sound and I think the first time out that was a little tough for me. He also puts his own spin on the solo's but that's OK it's his style I just wasn't used to it. I do feel that there best is behind them but that's not ripping them it's just that they're getting older. I feel like you do as far as I'm just glad they're still doing it and doing it pretty well at that. Whether we ever get anything out of them again or not I got my final wish from them and will expect no more. I just wanted them to give us one last quality cd and a good tour to go with it. I feel I got it. Not backing off my production comments but like I copied and pasted here from my first post on it I think it is a very good cd. Hope Mr. Francis cleans up a little in here for you guys. Take care.
