Judas Priest (Official Thread)

[Dirty Erin]

I'm sad to see that Priest was yet once again not voted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. I know Priest themselves probably could care less but this year I did see Rob and Ian promoting fans to vote on a few different sites, which tells me they do care a little, and would like to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They may never get in and that's ok, the Rock Hall is a sham anyway. If there was a Heavy Metal Hall of Fame they would be first ballot HOF'ers. Judas Priest are on the Mount Rushmore of heavy metal. No doubt about it!!

I've seen Judas Priest four times.
Each of the dates below links to a short review of the gig as far as I can recall it (almost 50 years ago!!)

11th May 1974 (supporting Budgie) at Scarborough Floral Hall - their first tour, I believe
27th September 1974 at Scarborough Penthouse - includes a poster with them billed as "Judith Priest"!
22nd August 1975 at Reading Festival
26th September 1975 at Scarborough Penthouse

I've only seen them once. At the Philadelphia Spectrum, opening for Kiss. That, too was around 77-78 or so.

Well Well,,Judas Priest gets in to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!! "Award for Musical Excellence" is what they are calling it. The only other band to get in by that title was Springsteen's E Street Band. But yes, Judas Priest are finally in the RRHOF!!

I still don't know why Burnin' Up is not more known - To me best song Judas Priest has done (even if there a hell of a lot ).

There is not even a video or live on it. Found this cover - really well done
