Wow these commenters are easily impressed! You'd think they were watching Eddie Van Halen in 1978. They're ragging on Hill for supposedly wondering if KK can play well after all this time. But they only have this short clip to go by. I should hope he'd be able to play that easy shit lol.

There has to be a longer clip somewhere I was looking at it this morning and there is a comment about something happening at 1:06 yet the clip on the Blabber site was flat out being 1:06 long.
The funny thing about the Hill comment was that a Blabbermouth headline did have Hill saying something very similar, but the full article outlined that there was a lot more to what he said and it was a reaction to something KK had said about the band ignoring him.
So the same KK idols who agreed with his comments last week about people only reading headlines are commenting on a headline of an article posted in part by a website that only cares about sensationalising headlines.

Gotta love the people bashing others for actually holding KK responsible for his comments. As if he didn't say any of it. I'd be will to bet that the second letter of resignation was pretty brutal. Couple that with all the shit he's said I don't see how they could take someone like that back and actually have it work out. It would never be the same. They'd be taking separate busses and flights lol.

I don't think there is any other job in the world where you could resign, twice, shit can the company and it's staff and then expect to be invited back into the fold. I still haven't listened to the full list of songs he played and to be honest I fully expect them to be good and for him to hold up his role, it's not like he hasn't played those songs a thousand times. But to happily forget all the other shit and demand he is recalled to the position he was in simply because he can still play those songs is a load of shit.
Given that so many of these idiots calling for his return also say shit like "Priest is dead" and "there is no Priest now" I wonder if they actually want KK back so that the internal fighting does destroy the band. Like you say it wont be the same, they wont get along therefore it could force the band into early retirement making the naysayers comments come true.

No I don't think there is any other job like that either. No way. It's a bit funny, as if I didn't dislike KK enough for all self pity and shit slinging. The people on blabber are making me like him even less lol. If those are his followers I want nothing to do with him.
Haha, then they can say how smart they are right? Ironically the same people defending KK are the same people who bash Greg Christian for pretty much the same situation. Except Greg is begging to get back in.

Yeah that's true, the followers and their constant ignorance of everything KK has done himself makes it very hard to support the guy in anyway. We all make mistakes, we all say things we shouldn't, KK is no different, but his supporters seem to think he is and that he deserves some kind of allowances for saying the shitty things.
I was thinking the same people probably also blindly sided with Lombardo without taking into account the full story, side with everyone who's not Ozzy and Sharon, and side with everyone who's last name isn't Mustaine.

I find it interesting how many of the popular and semi popular sites are removing comments, or like Metal Injection who have them turned on but no bugger actually using them. Being a shit to moderate would be a big reason but they are traffic creators and that's got to be a reason some of these sites aren't as popular a Blabber.

Ok so I did it.
I'm ashamed of myself for doing so but honestly I just wanted to help the poor man's retirement.
That's right I went and purchased a copy of KK's book.
I have already read it but in my defence it was marked down.
There is a small rip in the back cover but I do think it was a fair buy and the $2 will surely go a long way to fund the guitar gods retirement.

I feel content with my donation to his retirement 
Makes me wonder what the store manager thought as they marked down the book each time. $32.99 was a load of crap to begin with but even without knowing what their profit margin was by the time the book dropped to $10 the manager had to be pissed they had a copy sitting on the shelf costing them money. But to then drop it to $2 because it's got a tiny rip on the spine must have had the manager wishing they hadn't ordered it in the first place.

If KK ever comes down here I'll let him shout me a beer to make up for it
It appears they sold one copy. I haven't been in the book shop for about 4 weeks but back then they had two copies on the shelf, now they have none. I guess both copies could have been damaged and they offloaded them cheap, but for their sake I hope not. I don't know for sure that they haven't had multiple orders in 12 months but since I first saw it on the shelf in that shop there has always been two copies side by side, now there is none. At $32.99 I'm just going to assume they were the same two copies all the time, just like I too will assume they aren't silly enough to order another copy.
