Two things here IMO: 1) Halford so needs Tipton & Downing as part of the writing and collaboration, it is obvious 2) Halford is doing the Scream tour with Ozzy shortly in the US. Ok, Ozzy has been playing 19+ song great setlists and including everything spanning his career with Sabbath to his solo stuff incl: Into the Void, Rat Salad, Killer of Giants, Bark at the Moon, Flying High Again etc..
Halford better pack some good & more Priest tunes into his setlist this time, b/c honestly all his solo stuff (Golgatha?) incl. Fight at this point is: dated and cant even hold water to what Ozzy is doing night in and out. So you can go on and about Silent Screams etc..and most of the other solo stuff, but seriously people do not want to hear it. He can hide it, but nothing comes across better than the classic Priest material, hello. Especially in this day, people have complained that the older Metal Bands are considered dinosaur acts. Im sure I will hear some feedback on this, but I wanted to put this one out b/c it has been on my mind. Thanks.
