You know what Spa....your post influence me big time. I take back what I said,I will see Judas Priest live without K.K. if they come to Seattle. Rob and Glenn are the song writters now,even though Ian doesn't write tracks,he will also be an influence for this new album and I'm sure will have "his say" in the matter. Lets give Rob,Glenn and Ian a chance to come up with a "Hellrider" (the forum member) in your face full on metal monster of an album and tour!!!
I now realize that we fans of Priest have always been a selfish lot. We have good reason to be.
Why mess with lightning in a bottle?
But we must go on. KK wants us to support the band and I'm sure they have found someone more than up to the job and works simpatico with Glenn. We all fell away when Ripper replaced Rob, because the lyrics and voice was not what we wanted, (we are a brutal judging bunch), and it was not a good separation back then. Not that it ever is for us fans.
I'll be out there supporting them. They are still MY band, I will miss KK tremendously, and might even cry, but I'll be there showing my love of my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND.
I love my Metal Gods. It's hard enough to see a split so late, but I want to see them one last time. With tears in my eyes when the show is over.
