I never liked their singer and the new guy sounds like him.
I never thought they were very heavy either. |

Thanks, Becks! I'm still flying from Tuesday night. Every night when I go to bed, I keep trying to re-live the whole concert. I don't want to forget anything, or lose a single detail. But now I'm kinda down, too, because for months I had this incredible thing to look forward to, and every day was bringing me closer to the it, but now....now we all have to wait for that rush to come round again...

There are no FREAKING words to descrive the forever life-changing evening I spent with JP last night. Where to begin -
Thin Lizzy kicked ASS big time. Thoroughly enjoyed them. Those boys can rock. Got a guitar pick, too!
Black Label Society. Lots of talent, but not my cup of tea. Zakk is an INSANE guitarist, but it's not melodic to my ears, just a whole lot of violent thrash, which has its appeal to lots of fans, but not me. And seriously dude - what's with the spitting?????
So, after the last stage changes, Battle Hymn starts, and Priest comes out. I don't know what to say. Our seats were front row floors, on the right side, so I spent the evening gettting to know Glenn, who was pretty much parked in front of us when he wasn't bopping around the stage. It's hard to describe everything - it really was like I was in a crazy dream (and no, I wasn't stoned!!!!)
Ian - man he can rock - and he is still beautiful!! He was too far back to see that well over the speakers, unless I was on my tiptoes, but at one point while Ritchie was doing his solo, and everyone was looking stage left, Ian was just strumming and keeping the bass rhythm going, I started waving frantically to him and he noticed my arms and turned to look at me. Every pair of eyes is on Ritchie at this point, but I'm screaming "IAN!!!! IAN!!!!" and he starts laughing.
Scott - WHAT AN ANIMAL!!!!!!!!! I don't know what blew me away more - his machine-like precision or his bare arms. I don't know how he does it.
Ritchie - OK, he's not KK, but the boy can play. He fit in beautifully, and there was a great dynamic between him and Glenn, and strangely, I found he could pass for Glenn's son. Kudos to him for stepping into KK's shoes, and for looking quite happy about being up there with the rest of the Gods. But, truthfully, I did miss the dynamic I've seen in many a concert video, between KK and Glenn.
Glenn........GLENNNNN!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! From the moment he came out, I went berserk! I can't believe that this rockstar that I have idolized for YEARS was like arm's length away from me. He is unbelievable!!! He loves what he's doing, STILL, and it is sooo apparent. He loves his fans, too, and we were freaking out that he was that close and could see what we were saying - I yelled out GLENN I LOVE YOU!!!!!! and he winked at me, I thought I was going to DIE!!!!!! He was there right in front of us the whole night. I don't think I've even processed this yet...and it feels so surreal. He is a freaking axe-wizard extraordinaire. It was just like I dreamed, but BETTER! I could have watched him forever. I'm still feeling a little nuts right now!
Rob. ROB HALFORD! Holy Shit! What can you say????? I thought I was going to pee myself or cry hysterically when I first looked at him. But I behaved. Here he was - my IDOL....and he's still got it. That voice is like magic. Sure, he's aged, and the voice has changed, but he nailed everything he did. I loved how he talked between some of the songs. Does he ever own the stage when he's out there. He didn't spend a lot of time on our side of the stage, but he put on a hell of a show - the costume changes, the Harley....The audience was nuts, absolutely nuts for him. When Breaking the Law started, my husband's like - "Doesn't he sing this any of this song?" The crowd was bouncing and banging like an ocean storm. I was so glad about the setlist - got to hear Heading Out to The Highway live, and The Sentinel, etc,...there were some things I really missed, like most of DOTF and SFV, and TYRANT (Rob - next time, please!!!!) but maybe next time. The 2 hours and change went by so quickly, I couldn't believe when YGATC started, and then LAM, and then it was over. I almost thought about jumping the stage when they were all holding hands together for the final bow...but then Glenn jumped down to give out picks, and when he got to me and handed it to me, he held on to my hand for a moment, looked into my eyes, and then I blew him a kiss and he blew it back! My hubby let me have my teenage moment without any grief, which was AWESOME!
Will I see them again? Damn right I will, come hell or high water. If I had the money, I'd follow them across the globe for the whole tour. They're in Quebec for the next 2 nights.....hmmmmmm, that's only 6 hours drive or so...... But really - best night of my life. I'm just sorry I waited so long. God Bless those boys, and I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for keeping me young, and keeping a song in my heart. Love you boys forever!  |

I've had GM cars all my life but I've always loved the Ford Mustang. I finally got one.
Not new, it's 2004, but it only has 47,000 miles and the body is super clean. It's orange,
which I thought I would hate but it's actually pretty cool. I parked it next to a truck yesterday
and when I came out it wasn't visible until I saw what looked like orange lights under the
truck. Turns out it was my car reflecting off the rain puddles. My car was the only car in the lot
doing that. I thought it was cool. Can't wait to get the stereo from my other car installed into it
so I can jam a little Priest in it. |
