We met up with friends at the show and they had been to Ripper's Tap House the night before. They asked him if he was going to the Priest show and he said he wasn't sure. Right then and there I knew that nothing had been planned for Ripper to go onstage. I really think that is a shitty thing to do to him. Without Ripper, there would have been NO Priest for Rob to come back to!! The other thing that pisses me off is when they say stuff like we'll be doing a song from every album or this includes our entire catalog.... Um, no it doesn't. They should say our albums/catalog with Rob, IMO.
Wow, I knew that they didn't let him write anything and I heard they told him how to sing, but I didn't realize it was THAT controlling! Well, once Rob left, Glenn completely took over. Had they let Ripper have some input in how he sang the songs, maybe the vocal lines would have been better. I love Ripper's voice, but there was always something not quite right about how he was singing on those two albums. This explains that for sure - you have to let the singer have some freedom in how they sing.
I wouldn't rip you about you saying that they need Ripper back even though I don't agree with it. Now I see why you said it. I really wonder if this Baxter lawsuit is holding up stuff with Priest as well....

anything not even his singing style. He even joked about how bad he hated one of the jackets they made him wear. It was a
black leather(of course) jacket with mirrors all over it. I think Ripper is one of the most down to earth guys that I have ever met.
I believe he is as genuine as they come. Thanks for not ripping me for suggesting they need him back.

One thing that upset me is the fact that none of Ripper's stuff was represented in the Epitaph setlist. I just think that was wrong. Rob said he didn't have a problem singing the Ripper era stuff, so why didn't they at least do 1 song? Gotta say, I would have loved to have heard Rob and Ripper do a duet on Cathedral Spires!!!

I was a little surprised to see that he actually responded to me. He said nothing was going on with him and Priest and he said he loved Rob

true, but they came off 6 years without working. once rob rejoined they had worked 5 straight years, so less urgency was felt.
