I have to jump in.
Halford was smart in buying the rights to all of his music (except Two). So from a business point of view and considering that some if not all of Halford's music is /was out of print then it makes perfect sense for him to generate some cash now that he owns the music rights to Halford. Who can blame him? I would do it.. From a business point of view it makes perfect sense and he's smart to do it becuase there are fans who will buy his music nicely repackaged. AND since Halford started his own record label it makes sense for him to release his own music/videos on his own MGE label. A little co-promoting..............
As far as Priest is concern, I agree in that I am a bit tired of all the remasters of their music in recent years. However JP has blessed us trmendously with a monster catalog of music and if they see a business opportunity to make some money while offering something new like a '09 British Steel DVD...so be it! Imagine if any of us had made music and toured for 40 years and were pushing 60 yrs old, we would be a little tired as well. Judas Priest has well earn the right to rest as long as they want and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Understandably as hard core fans we still long for the days when Preist treated us with a fresh album every year but those days are long gone. So let's give Priest and Halford a break from our bickering and appreciate what they have done. While other bands are dead, Preist still comes through for their fans!
