He broke up Priest at their peak in order to try and compete with the new breed of hardcore metal bands eg Pantera, Sepultura and adopted the grunge look that those guys wore in an attempt to remain relevant. I think he failed to realise that without Priest none of those bands would have existed. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ~ MG_Metalgoddess~ from Thursday, June 25, 2009 6:42:34 PM)
