I guess those "higher feelings" are leaving me. I still love Priest but quite honestly it's for what they've "done" not what they're "doing". Let me stress though that my disappointment stems from wanting to hear something out of my favorite band. I also want to stress that I understand their standpoint. These guys are getting up there in age. In the early years they gave everything they could. Every year it was album, tour, and no breaks. They earned the right to take it easy on themselves after a certain point. Something every single one of us hope to acheive. They have a life to live also and as the years pass it gets harder and harder to do what they're doing and find time to enjoy life also. I'm not angry at Priest even though that comes through in some of my posts. I'm just greedy and want as much as I can get out of them. I need to realize that they've given their all and at this stage I just need to be happy that they may give anything. I'll always love these guys but I still need to be entertained and there are others that do that for me so more of my attention goes elsewhere. I thank Priest for what they've given me and I'm OK if there is nothing else.
