That is so true what Halford said about how the internet kinda ruined the suprise and some of the
excitment ect..ect..ect. Whats also true I may add,is how the internet ruined "black metal" as well.

JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow
below.
Miami New Times: When you decided to [play "British Steel" in its entirety on
the current tour], did you worry that playing one album in order would eliminate
some element of surprise for the audience?
Halford: It's impossible to have a complete surprise now, isn't it?
Unfortunately, that's the way of the world. Everybody's Twittering while they
eat their lunch and while they're sitting in the movie theater, so it's a shame
really. But I also wouldn't deny the excitement that this kind of instant
connection can create. Because you know, no matter how you explain to a fan that
you've seen the pre-show, or seen clips from YouTube or whatever, you can't
really fully understand or experience the true moment until you're there in
person. It's like watching a movie of the Grand Canyon. It's great, but you
cannot understand what it means until you are standing at the rim staring at the
vastness. I think that's true of this particular show. But I agree with you, you
know. When the Internet was going mainstream, we discussed that. Because coming
from that time of our life, there was the excitement of, "Oh, there's a new LP
coming from PRIEST!" You'd put the
vinyl on your turntable, and that was the only way you could experience it. You
couldn't snag it off the Internet or get an illegal download or a video clip. So
there was a mystery of how [a band] would do it onstage. And to a certain
extent, that's gone now. But it's today's world, you have to accept it. It's all
about living in the moment, and the only way you can live in the moment for a
PRIEST show is to come and see us.
Miami New Times: Why did you choose to film your live DVD at the date here in
South Florida? Was it just a scheduling thing?
Halford: It's a combination of a lot of things. We've been coming back and forth
to Florida since the early '80s. We made two or three records in Miami at
Bayshore Sound, which is no longer there. So we spent many years in the Miami
area, especially in Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne, so we have many memories
from South Florida. The fans are crazy down there -- the metal heads go insane.
Miami New Times: Really? You find that South Florida metal audiences in
particular are really that crazy?
Halford: There's just a very special feeling from the Florida metal heads that
we want to capture. So here's a chance for all the Florida metal heads to become
famous, because the cameras will be pointing on them throughout the night, as
well as on the band. We're very excited that we're going to be making this film,
this full show in Hollywood.
Miami New Times: Between working on your last studio album, "Nostradamus", which
seemed like such an epic project, and celebrating "British Steel", have you had
a chance at all to think about writing new material for the future?
Halford: We don't really.... Here's the deal. At the end of this tour, which
finishes when we come back from Japan in October, we'll have been touring the
world for 18 months. We will have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, and
we'll have just gotten back to our respective homes, and we'll stop moving. And
then we'll take a break through the holiday season. And then one of us will pick
up the phone, probably the writers of the band, Glenn [Tipton] and Ken [K.K.
Downing] and myself — to say, "Hey what's going on? Should we start making
some more metal?" And that'll be the plan from next year. But I don't know when
that's all going to take place. The thing is that we love what we do, and we
still have all the passion and the energy and the drive as we did three decades
ago. This is our life! We make these wonderful records, tour the world, and then
take a little bit of a break. That's built into our system. Come January, we'll
start to feel edgy
and antsy. So [working on new material will] happen next year. We don't know
what it's going to be, what it's going to sound like. Being in PRIEST is very
real, it's not pre-programmed or anything. But it's wonderful to think that at
some point there will be a new JUDAS PRIEST record. |

Where's Anvil now? Maybe they could fill in 
I believe KIX is for only the 22nd, not the rest of the tour... |

| Well, I actually like Kix more then Whitesnake so I'm glad JP was able top get them to replace Whitesnake, but I still would rather have JP either play a longer set or offer partial refunds for those of us who have already bought tix; Aerosmith has offered refunds to those who have purchased tix to see ZZTop and them, and JP should do the same thing, or maybe Whitesnake should offer refunds (someone should!). |

Les Paul was truly a legend, a very talented player. I saw him on TV last year and was astounded that someone in their nineties could still play with such flair and accuracy. He will be missed.

I thought so too HRMG. Then I remembered Ian having a house in Florida (in that area if memory serves), which had me thinking how comfortable it would be for them to play in a setting so familiar even though it would be the 3rd night out.
I wish I had the cash available to have flown to a venue up north ... But truth be told, the show they played here in Corpus had to be the ultimate hell for them with all the humidity, heat, and it being the last in a string. But they pulled it off! I think they'll be just fine ...
Audience response and support will be the determining factor in this one ; ) Do we have any idea, is there a mention of the DVD's release anywhere?

WHITESNAKE has released the following statement:
"Unfortunately, last night [August 11] at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, WHITESNAKE had to cut their performance short due to Mr. [ David] Coverdale experiencing considerable pain in his vocal cords. He was immediately taken to a specialist for examination. The specialist discovered that David was suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion. He was instructed to cancel all performances for the next two weeks and then undergo a further examination. The doctors told us we were fortunate this was caught at a stage where no apparent permanent damage has been caused. We therefore regretfully have to announce that WHITESNAKE will not be appearing on the remainder of the U.S. tour with JUDAS PRIEST. WHITESNAKE sincerely regrets any disappointment this may cause."
WHITESNAKE and JUDAS PRIEST previously toured together in South America during 2005 to great critical and commercial success and maintain a great friendship.
WHITESNAKE's appearance at U.K.'s Download festival in June coincided with action-packed re-releases of the multi-platinum albums "Slip Of The Tongue", marking its 20th anniversary, and "Slide It In", which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
WHITESNAKE's June 14 show at Download marked the fourth time the band has performed at Donington Park (previous appearances took place in 1981, 1983 and 1990).

| WHITESNAKE Officially Drops Off JUDAS PRIEST Tour - Aug. 12, 2009 |
|
WHITESNAKE has released the following statement:
"Unfortunately, last night [August 11] at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, WHITESNAKE had to cut their performance short due to Mr. [ David] Coverdale experiencing considerable pain in his vocal cords. He was immediately taken to a specialist for examination. The specialist discovered that David was suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion. He was instructed to cancel all performances for the next two weeks and then undergo a further examination. The doctors told us we were fortunate this was caught at a stage where no apparent permanent damage has been caused. We therefore regretfully have to announce that WHITESNAKE will not be appearing on the remainder of the U.S. tour with JUDAS PRIEST. WHITESNAKE sincerely regrets any disappointment this may cause."
WHITESNAKE and JUDAS PRIEST previously toured together in South America during 2005 to great critical and commercial success and maintain a great friendship.
WHITESNAKE's appearance at U.K.'s Download festival in June coincided with action-packed re-releases of the multi-platinum albums "Slip Of The Tongue", marking its 20th anniversary, and "Slide It In", which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
WHITESNAKE's June 14 show at Download marked the fourth time the band has performed at Donington Park (previous appearances took place in 1981, 1983 and 1990).
Fan-filmed video footage of WHITESNAKE's June 7, 2009 concert at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium can be viewed below.

GameDaily.com has revealed the complete track listing for the Brütal Legend
video game, whcih will be available for the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system and the PlayStation computer entertainment system on
October 13 in North America and on October 16 in Europe.
"This soundtrack took years to put together as we wanted to represent every
genre of metal, and also have the perfect music for every epic moment in the
game," Tim Schafer, president of Double Fine Productions development studio,
tells GameDaily.com. "It's designed to be loved by metal fans, and for those who
are not, it will either convert them or make their heads explode ... or both."
"What can I say?," Emily Ridgeway, Brütal Legend's music director, adds. "It's
metal. It's the best. It'll kick your fucking teeth in."
Brütal Legend is a third-person action game rich in combat, imagery and
storytelling, delivering lighter-flicking fun sure to melt your face off.
Brütal Legend tells the tale of Eddie Riggs, played by Jack Black. The ultimate
roadie, Eddie is the first person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or
stages rigged, and has a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every
heavy metal album cover, and the lyrics those albums contained. One night, a
stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious, and he awakens in a world that looks
very strange yet oddly familiar, a world where every heavy metal album cover and
lyric Eddie knows has come to life, and where the evil emperor Doviculus and his
demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans. When an
oppressed people request Eddie's knowledge of modern warfare, he pulls from his
own experience in the only occupation he's ever had, a roadie for a heavy metal
band, and under his command, this barbaric force of hot-rods, Marshall stacks,
leather, and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of metal.
