As you know, Halford is back with the Priest. The main reason is money ... I mean if you read the latest interview of Tim Owens, Judas Priest was not selling much albums these years. Even though Tim did a great job replacing Rob as good as he could, the die-hard Judas Priest fans have never "digested" the departure of Rob. I even heard Tim was responsible of Judas Priest's tumble. Rubbish chat ! Anyway ...

Like it was the case for Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson, we are very very happy to see Rob Halford back with the Priest, the heavy metal band of the 80's. You should know at this stage that the English band decided to enter directly in studio and deliver a new record for 2004. To help their fans for this long expected event - more than 10 years ! - Judas Priest release a new DVD with a full live, video clips and BBC TV performances.

Priest ... Live!
19 classic songs performed live in Dallas ... back in 1986 (Fuel For Life Tour). That was 20 years ago ...
Rob and the rest of the band were at the top of the mountain in 1986. Rob look like a teenager with his long blond hair, Gleen Tipton and K.K. Downing are firing up the place with their guitars, the stage is enormous, the show is outrageously metal, the lightshow colossal and burning the Texas stadium. The playlist is a dream considering Painkiller will be released in 1990 : Locked In, Heading Out To The Highway, Breaking The Law, Love Bites, Some Heads Are Gonna Roll, The Sentinel, Private Property, Desert Plains, Rock You All Around The World, Hellion/Electric Eye, Turbo Lover, Freewheel Burning, The Green Manalishi, Parental Guidance, Living After Midnight, You've Got Another Thing Comin', Hell Bent For Leather, Metal Gods.

A wonderful appetizer for the coming world wide tour ...

Souvenirs, souvenirs.
That was a long long time ago. Rob looks like "an alien" with his hair and the filming brings you back 30 years ago. The band looks like Black Sabbath on Rocka Rolla. Cool stuff anyway. For the die-hard fans ...

Well my friends, the Priest is back ... and some heads are gonna roll ;-)
