Jimmy is right,Maiden are good live but the question is do you really want to go to the show if you don't like the new album? Because with this new album they will play at least 4 songs off it,then they will be playing at least a few songs off each album you don't like already,so that leaves very little room for old tracks,yes of course they will be playing old tracks but how many of them? If the new album sucks,I would recommend NOT going to the show and not supporting them with $money.
I hate the Nostradamus album and I actually bought tickets to see Priest before I heard the Nostradamus album,after I heard the entire Nostradamus album I sold my tickets as I was pissed off and would still do it again.Judas Priest are my favorite band yes,but since they put out a shit album it "ruined it for me" so much to the point of I don't even want to see them!! Fuck em' if they can't put out a killer album.To thoese who think Nostradamus is a "good" LP good for you guys(Guido and others) but for me it fucking "SUCKS" and I don't want to see "that" tour. Same goes with Maiden,if this new album sucks I will NOT be seeing them live.FUCK Em'.
If this next Priest album 'sucks" then I won't be buying the album or seeing the show,fuck em'. They are my favorite band but that doesn't mean they can do no wrong,I'm not a poser fanboy like the idiotic Brian -Maiden-fan-boy- Evans is.If Priest delivers I will support them,if they don't then fuck them.
