Judas Priest!!!

Amazing fucking show tonight...while Anthrax certainly put on a competent show, and made me very interested in seeing them should they ever headline a show again in our fair city, the Priest showed what 37(!) years of experience will do for you in clinically kicking ass.

The whole show was a great big fucking NWOBHM cliche, and it was perfect. A perfectly straight row of headbanging guitarists. A lead singer in a sequined trenchcoat and matching motorcycle boots. Elevators. Backdrops. Smoke fachines. A bloody DISCO BALL. And to start the encore? Entire on a silver and red motorbike!

Great, great show. The albums just don't do them justice...they are METAL.

Giant Robots. Metal, but not nearly THAT metal.
