They really were happy about it and that put a big smile on my face as well! Hearing Scott talk made my day too! I only watched the first 10 minutes of the show - thank God Priest was on FIRST and I could turn it off after that!!!
I'm glad you posted that. To see how excited they were makes me feel better thinking it was a good idea.
How can exposure not be good? All I know is that when I saw that video I had a big ol' grin. I like when Judas
gets recognized.
I still won't watch American Idol though.(LOL) I gotta keep my streak going. (Zero episodes watched.)

Absolutely HB. And here is what Priest had to say about why they did it in an interview on the Red Carpet:
it is a way to give back to a fan, as well as promote the band

Put the free publicity they just got aside, think about it like this: here is this young singer that absolutely LOVES Judas Priest, so much so that he sang a Priest song for the first time ever on American Idol. James has been flying the metal flag on that show, exposing people to metal that never would have listened to it otherwise. Then, for the finale show, they ask the contestants who they want to perform with. James says Judas Priest. Now, knowing how much Priest loves their fans, I don't see them turning him down. How could they? No matter how you see that show, and I NEVER watch it by the way, it was a big honor for them to be there with megastars from all genres of music. I see it more as flying the flag for metal proudly rather than selling out, but I can see that it may look like that.
