For anyone reading.... just saw Priest last night in Johnstown, PA. The War Memorial is not a huge venue by any means but the boys from Birmingham should have felt right at home around the defunct steel mills in Johnstown. It wasn't a sell-out crowd but those that were there were ready for some metal. It was an awesome show. I'm not one for effects. Stage presence is everything. The Priest had it. I was upset about not seeing KK Downing months ago when I heard he would not tour. Richie Faulkner did one HELL of a show!! I'm sure it's no accident that he looks like KK, but he has IT. Played everything perfectly, ripped of a solo at the end of You Got Another Thing Comin', and stage presence. I guess it's youth but he got around that stage and was having the time of his life. Sorry to say, I didn't miss my old guitar hero. KK Downing, I miss you, but Richie Faulkner is doing awesome.
