However, the mighty PRIEST will certainly be going out strong as they rock the planet starting in 2011 on the massive EPITAPH tour - hitting all the major cities throughout the world they will be playing the songs that helped make the name JUDAS PRIEST synonymous with heavy metal!

I know it won't happen but I'd love to see them do an all 70's set. Sad Wings, Stained Class and Hell Bent (aka Killing Machine) are some of my all time fave metal tapes.

Sin After Sin is a mint tape, too. I even like some of Rocka Rolla.

They didn't mention the tour is 7 years long.......As long as they do their Fleetwood Mac and Joan Biaz covers I'm in. Oh and "the hellion/electric eye".

Good point! You never know. Maybe it will turn into The Who redux, just keep having "last tours" every year for 10 years.

HA! I saw the Who/Clash/Johannson thing in - ' 84 ? In Buffalo. I thought that was supposed
to be it for the Who. Altho if you were Daltry and had to live off the Royalties from his solo sales.......

The Who came out and the crowd went nutz and then they played a couple early singles to make the connection to the Clash and everyone sat on their hands.

Was that when the Scorps had Uli Roth and Michael Schenker doing guest spots? I have that Wacken DVD with those 2 and it's killer.

Sadly not...Just Rudy Schenker running round with his mouth open a lot. Fair play to Priest, they let the Scorps have nearly an hour slot.
