I don't get why the band's management has put them to play Priest Feast tour again next year in February. It's kinda ridiculous. Nostradamus was released in mid June, it would be about time they play the whole thing live early next year. Surely the fans by then will know most of the album off by heart. My original thought was that they were going to do a shortened world tour, doing a leg for Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and South America, and then do another shortened world tour, this time playing the whole album live. And instead of that, they're booked to do a pointless extension of the tour when they could be getting out there doing the magnificent theatrical Nostradamus shows by that time, which a lot of fans including myself are yearning to see. Sometimes the band's management really questions me, if I was in charge of the management I know I sure as hell would do a better job. It's a pity that the band's management aren't actually fans of the band because if they were they'd be doing much better. To send them out on the road to do a short tour, playing a list heavily filled with fan favourites from the past and including two new songs to give them a little taste of the new stuff, instead of having them sit idle or having them do a full album tour too soon before the fans get to know it largely, is a great idea. But to extend such a tour beyond its needs is pointless, this band is fresh, they always have been, and the management should treat them as such, and not as a band looking back on its past. I hope that at least if they're going to do such an extensive tour looking back at the past catalog, there will be at least a DVD to accompany it. Fuck the management, and rock on forever Judas Priest. Edited at: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 1:56:56 AM
