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. |
Couldn't agree more with you there, Dem. Perhaps that's one of the qualities that draws me to Priest more - how criminally underrated they are. It's a shame really. The Farewell Tour doesn't mean the end of Priest, just the end of their world tours - KK's idea, surprise surprise.
That was definetly a bad move (for both Halford and Priest) - although the Ripper stuff isnt
that bad, and he too has a fantastic voice.
This thread has gone ever so slightly off topic. Ah who cares, there's always room for heavy metal!
