[Liverslapper]

I need to go to Wacken 2011. I've always wanted to go and now is the time.

 

[azal]

Halford finally packing it in.














































































if you know what I mean

 

[Liverslapper]

 

[El Stormo]

Ha, nice azal.

And they're coming to Graspop, so I'll see them there.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

hmm maybe attending graspop in 2011 aswell... i actually hope they come to Metalcamp...

 

[Shmu]

I need to go to Wacken 2011. I've always wanted to go and now is the time.

I'm already planing on going there , last year was a blast

 

[Psychonaut]

The hell? Just saw them last year and they slayed. They have another decade in 'em.

 

[Myke Havoc]

Yeah, if anyone hasn't, do what you must to catch them. Its one of those experiences that stays with you. I'm positive that Halford will resume solo stuff after, which is fine with me.

 

[freewill]

saw them when I was like 14...amazingness.

I will be looking forward to the US dates, hopefully Ill catch more than one.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

I'm torn. I've seen Priest many times and they were always fantastic. But Halford's voice isn't really suited for many of songs anymore. I hate hearing him attempt tunes like Painkiller without the crushing highs.

It also makes me feel a bit old...

 

[El Stormo]

Yeah, DNB is right. Halford is a god, but he can't hit those notes anymore, and that's only logical, the man's what, sixty now?

 

[~Lynn~]

Last time I saw them Halford = epic fail.

 

[freewill]

Last time I saw them Halford = epic fail.

I dont believe you,


and on second thought, I have hopes that this is just an "farewell" tour, preceding many "reunion" tours to come, because I mean they aren't at all in bad shape, I know they can keep the ball rolling for a couple more years.
