But afterall music is subjective and each to their own. Though of course, I'm correct.  |
Priest never really had the popularity of the best metal bands, after all they are still only headlining halls rather than the arenas the likes of Ozzy, Maiden,etc do. Its their farewell tour as well.
I don't think it helped that Halford left straight after they released their best album - Painkiller, then on their reformation they released an, at best average comeback album with only the title track being of any note.
