As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts.

And they stick to their guns. Malcolm and Angus are tight and won't let anyone fuck around with what they have.

Me, like I said, I'm an optimist and prefer to think the best of people. If I get proven wrong eventually, so be it. But I do not feel (as in I have not seen anything to make me) that way. Not yet, don't know if I ever will.

Amazingly when traditional metal made a comeback in the early 2000s Priest made a comeback. You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?

As Rob said before they got back together, we have to do it for the right reasons and not for money because the fans will know. Well, there you have it - we would be able to tell that they were there only for the money when on stage and trust me, they are having way too much fun and getting along way too well for it to be solely about money! I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

Why would you give a flyin' fuck where I've been? And no I didn't know Maiden won a grammy because I don't care about Maiden. Looks like Saxon is up 9 to 1 in your "metal showdown" thread,there is a "reason" for this.

| Hi everybody. I'm from Russia. As you all know Iron Maiden has started new Final Frontier Tour and started from Moscow. I saw it last week. The set list was super but the show..... Nothing special. Has nothing to do with what they promissed. |
