Faulkner really did a marvelous job on the road. I stick to my comment in that you REALLY missed out by not seeing last tour, J.D. it was amazing.
Likewise, I can see that opinion has a lot to do with which guitarist (KK. or Glenn) one prefers. Like the eternal Mary Ann vs. Ginger argument! LOL! I seriously loved Glenn when I was 10 until I realized that I had them backwards! It was KK playing the solos I liked on songs like Jawbreaker. Glenn was technique, KK was Hendrix-y (how about THAT for an adjective!).
Obviously, while I prefer Priest, I can consistently run to Halford. "Live Insurrection?" Outstanding! Better than Made of Metal and I don't really care what Baxter has to say about the last Halford live being better than the aforementioned album. THAT was just a killer album with a killer tour. Resurrection as a come-back song alone? Hell, Rob at his best. Very few songs have ever had that effect of sending chills down my spine than the intro to Resurrection. Only one that comes to mind was, back in the day, Megadeth's vid of "Holy Wars." Had me running from the back of my trailer to see who the hell made THAT masterpiece! Bought the album the next day.
Head Banger I agree. Yeah Biff & Saxon do have a passion for writting new material and putting out new albums,they have put out an album every 2 years since they started ect... ya know even though these Saxon albums are not better than old Priest...so what ya know,at least they are worthy heavy metal LPs,above average when compared to old Priest ect...
I just couldn't stand to see Priest tour one more time without a new LP. Guido....you mentioned how awkward it would be having an album without K.K. and I can see that to a certain point but its all a matter of opinion of course,myself I would of been more devistated if Glenn would of left. I love K.K. of old but ever since I was 10 years old till now I've always admired Glenn's solos so much better than Kens,not like I don't love K.K.s licks too but for me personally Glenn has always been my idol,he is the reason I started playing guitar.
But again this is only my opinion....and I agree with Head Banger about Priest LPs over the Halford band,I've never really cared for the halford band,don't have any CDs but thats just me. I actually am looking forwards to hearing Glenn's riffs mixed with Richie's....Richie's solos on the new album....I am fine with this "IF" the songs turn out kick ass in quality song writting. I'm starting to think that they are not going to release this new album this year....perhaps they are actually waiting to see if K.K. is going to change his mind....to be honest...I sure hope this isn't the case. I really want to hear this record with Tipton/Faulkner duo......

Glad your doing better now my friend
I just dont see them having a passion for it. Saxon either has a passion or needs cash. Priest has neither.
I would rather one more Priest album than 10 halford albums regardless of the lineup. but thats just me I guess.

You know what.... We will have a need Defenders of the Faith 30th Anniversery remaster before we get a new album. Hell, we may have the Painkiller Anniversery album before then!
