They just announced that they'll play here in Belgrade on July the 1st, and I'm excited as hell.

And yeah, they'll be playing with Whitesnake, but screw them.

and 1991 with Alice Cooper.
Operation Rock n Roll

Unfortunately Priest got their ass kicked by Alice. Saw this twice in NJ and MA. Priest was much better on the proper Painkiller tour (Megadeth opened up here.)

I'll have to take your word for it. Memories from that era are spotty, at best. I only found out I was there when working on my concert spreadsheet a couple of weeks ago. I remembered Alice Cooper and Motorhead, and was quite surprised when I learned that it was Priest that headlined. I have no recollection of them whatsoever. Looking over the setlist that's not altogether unsurprising.

Yeah, Priest toured Painkiller proper the winter of 90/91. In Worcester, Megadeth & Testament opened. That summer they put together Op RnR and although Priest headlined, they played a shorter set. Alice was touring Hey Stoopid, and unfortunately that was the extent for him for that vastly underrated album. Alice had a great band for that tour.....Vinnie Moore, Stef Burns, Greg Smith, Eric Singer, & Derek Sherinian.
Don't forget Metal Church and Dangerous Touys also played..
I loved Mike Howe era Metal Church.

That's an amazing lineup with Alice. WOuld have loved to see Vinnie play some Alice tunes.

I got tickets to the Alice Hey Stoopid tour in the UK expecting to see one of my guitar heroes, the awesome Vinnie Moore. He didn't do the UK leg and I spent the whole show pissed off and couldn't enjoy it. Thank god for the internet, even if we still don't know who the drummer is.

It was Stef Burns and Pete Friesen. Not in the same class at all. Stef is a fine guitarist and performs very well on HS. Vinnie is something else though.

Sweet! I can't wait for the inevitable United States tour. I'm guessing they'll come here in August. Depending on time, location, and ticket price, I may see them twice to make up for not seeing them on their latest tour. Plus I've never seen them before and never will again, with this being their farewell tour and all.

Jirpo · « **Reply #148 on:** January 18, 2011, 09:32:11 AM »

Painkiller is my second fave album of all time!! Almost every track is just insane. The first 120 seconds of the album is one of my favourite two minutes of music ever

Dude, what? Whitesnake rules

Mladen · « **Reply #150 on:** January 18, 2011, 12:06:03 PM »

Nah, I'm not a huge fan of Whitesnake. But Judas Priest, on the other side...

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #151 on:** January 18, 2011, 01:02:04 PM »

Oh by the way, forgot to add that my Priest tribute band SAINTS IN HELL is finally coming to fruition. Got a gang of guys to jam with, so hopefully in the upcoming months, I'll have pics and vids to show everyone. This is just something I'm doing on the side in the down-time from my originals band Dorian Gray (our EP is being mixed this week...I'll be sharing tunes with everyone, just click my sig link and add our page on FB and keep in touch).

Judas Priest aren't splitting up; just not touring the world again.

Writing new material

Great, I didn't want their last album to be Nostradamus...

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #159 on:** January 28, 2011, 12:23:58 PM »

Agreed. They need to do one final record with Tom Allom so as to pretty much come full circle. Since he helped on the last live record, this is a no-brainer. Just a traditional record would be nice. Angel of Retribution was good but I know they've got even better in'em.

Maybe they'll be like the Beatles and still release albums just stop touring

Theres some more info, and also what Rob thinks of Nostradamus.

KevShmev · « **Reply #162 on:** February 17, 2011, 09:11:27 AM »

Given Rob Halford's sexual orientation, does anyone think it is a coincidence that on their Sin After Sin CD, the song "Raw Deal" is immediately followed by "Here Come the Tears"?

Zydar · « **Reply #163 on:** February 17, 2011, 09:40:28 AM »

Pretty far-fetched?

No more then assuming there's a homo-erotic element to plenty of titles/songs -

BUMP

First photo of new lineup:

"While some fans may still be in shock at the recent retirement of Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing - just six weeks before the start of the band's final world tour – the group itself is getting on with business.

The first photo of the new Priest lineup – including Downing's replacement, 31-year old British guitarist Richie Faulkner – has been released."

jjrock88 · « **Reply #170 on:** May 11, 2011, 09:07:38 PM »

I would still like to know the full story here; we will probably never know. If KK is truly unable to play (ie health reasons,personal problems), then there is no problem whatsoever with him bowing out. If it's problems within the band, then I'm surprised he wouldn't just persevere for the next year or so for the fans sake.

El Barto · « **Reply #171 on:** May 12, 2011, 09:52:57 AM »

If he made this decision last year, as he claims, then there probably wasn't any perseverance required from his POV. The announcement that they were calling it a career was 12/7, so it's possible that he quit before then. Actually it sounds like it could be one of those situations where a key member says they want to not do anything for a while and the rest of the band chooses to carry on without him. Sound familiar?

Judas Priest Announce Epic Box-Set And Tour

Judas Priest will be releasing a special edition "Classic Albums Collection" and a box-set of CD singles called "Single Cuts" later this year, alongside what could be their last major tour.

According to Blabbermouth, the album box-set will include 17 fully re-mastered albums from their classic lineup years, including the first two Gull records. The singles box-set will include every CBS/Columbia single from between 1977 and 2008, including every b-side, though this one will only be available to order online. Pre-orders will be made available from June.

The band plan to tour North America with Thin Lizzy and Black Label Society in the fall. Fans should get their buying shoes on, because guitarist Glenn Tipton recently told Rolling Stone this could be the last opportunity to see the group live.

"We won't really be doing any more world tours. It takes a big chunk out of your life," said Glenn. "If somebody came along and said, 'Would you do a small string of dates,' we wouldn’t automatically say no to that. But in general, this is probably the last chance you'll get to see Priest live."

Singer Rob Halford added "We're pulling out all the stops. We've built a brand new stage set, we've got all the effects that people love us for — the lasers, the fire, the bombs, the smoke, new costumes, and the bike. It's just a full-on metal extravaganza."
