i haven't seen any of those bands in eons but sadly the closest it's coming to here is pitt or chicago. That's a shame, man. I'm lucky enough to have it coming to basically right down the street from me.

Judas f*ckin Priest! Priest rules. Check my sig. Caught them on "Rock Line" last week. Good stuff. Just got "Nostradamus" recently. Still letting it sink in. Very different. But awesome.

[capncnut]

Noice, Mr Pizz! Do give us a report when you get back from the concert.

[MikePizzoff]

I'm going tomorrow! I'll let you all know how it goes.

I attended Wrestlemania in Houston back in either 2000 or 2001. When Triple H was fixing to come out I turned around and Motorhead was performing live on the stage unanounced. And not too far from where I was sitting. It was f#cking cool!!!

[MikePizzoff]

Whoa, that's pretty fnckin awesome!

[slickwilly13]

Ths is what he performed live.

I love Priest, have done since I was 13....I got their devil's tuning fork logo tatooed on my back. Priest haven't come here with Nostradamus yet, they did a day in Download festival but there was no way in hell I was going to that travesty of a place. I did a photoshoot for rob halford a few years ago when he released his solo album Crucible, he's a great guy!! I am also on the Priest Live in London 2001 DVD in the audience...I wore a bright red santa hat which I threw on stage and Tim Owens offered it to Glenn Tipton, but he wouldn't wear it!!! You can see me (all young and innocent) screaming away to Blood Stained on that DVD...many, many times. Nostradamus is genius, I love it. It's got some great moments in there, and the orchestrations are brilliant...love what they did with this, it's a cut above anything since Painkiller.

[MikePizzoff]

Hell yeah. Priest is my favorite band, man. In my honest opinion, there is no singer that can even hold a candle to Rob Halford... metal or not, he's the best vocalist of all time. I've been trying to figure out a good spot amongst my tattoo's to get the same Priest tatt. Haven't quite figured it out yet, but it'll be on me some day, for sure.

Yesterday was the best show I've ever seen (and may ever see) in my life. We knew gates were at 5:30, so we decided to show up at the parking lot of the venue around 2 PM. Tons of friends, new and old, showed up. Mass quantities of alcohol was consumed. Puking was an obvious aspect. I headed into the venue at about 5:45 because I knew Testament was going on first. I didn't know they'd play AS SOON as the gates opened, though. We got to our seats just in time to catch the last two songs of their set and they were off the stage before it was even 6 PM. Went and spent $8 on a beer because... if I'm watching a good band, I like to have a beer in my hand. Arrived back to our seats just in time for Motorhead to hit the stage. Although they played good, they just weren't nearly as loud as the last time I had seen them at the same venue, back in 2003. They also didn't play pretty much any songs I wanted to hear, but with a catalog as big as theirs, that was kind of expected. Time for another $8 beer and one for the lady that was with me. I've only bought three beers so far and I'm already out $24!!! Time for Black Sabbath. The lights went out and E5150 played over the monitors while giant stone gargoyles eyes glowed red and their mouths spewed fog out all over the stage... a dim dark blue light set the mood. Vinnie, Tony, and Geezer strolled onto the stage and the place went apesh1t. They broke into Mob Rules and Dio came running out... then the place really went apesh1t. They played a good set, but I was really disappointed with the fact that they had a drum solo AND a guitar solo when they were an opening band. These solos took up so much time that they could've easily played another three songs. Oh well, they ruled. Hard. More $8 beers... ... JUDAS PRIEST went on. Talk about a roar from the crowd. Everyone was super pumped up from the first three bands, so they were all going nuts. They opened with a couple of songs off their new album, Nostrademus, then the remainder of their set was all classics with the exception of Angel off Angel Of Retribution, which I thought should've been cut from the set and replaced with Sinner! Anyway, they sounded even better than the last two times I caught them, back in 2005. Halford's voice is almost as good as ever! Thankfully he seemed to of ditch the robot-dancing/walking he did on the last tour. The crowd was pretty disappointing because while me and my group of friends were going nuts singing every word, it seemed like pretty much 99% of the audience had no idea what song Priest was playing (POSERS!). Here's the setlists from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest: Sabbath 01. E5150 02. The Mob Rules 03. Children of the Sea 04. I 05. Sign of the Southern Cross 06. Ear in the Wall 07. Vinny Appice Solo 08.

[MikePizzoff]

Wot no Grinder? I had seen what their setlist was SUPPOSED to be and it was going to include Sinner. I was so bummed when they didn't play it. It was cool seeing Rock Hard Ride Free and Hell Patrol performed, though.

[Dillinger]

I would give my right eye to see Sabbath and Motorhead.
