tonight's the night

There is reason to believe that tonight I will be attending a Judas Priest show. Oh, yes. Hell Bent for Leather, baby.

I didn't even know they were still together.

Yeah, me neither 'til the other day. I just happened to check pollstar.com for concerts in the area, and lo and behold, there they were.

I was quite impressed -- they put on an excellent show. And that Ripper Owens dude fills in very well for Rob Halford, even if he does look a lot like Fred Durst. A well spent evening.

I'm guessing he fills in better for Rob than Blaze Bailey did for Bruce Dickinson.

Oh geez, "Blaze"?! I never heard him, thank God.

I couldn't believe that cover band tonight, though -- they actually nailed "Wasted Years"! The guitarist (who looked like he should have been checking someone's oil) was playing part of the solo one-handed, flashing devil signs with the other, and never missing a note! It was kind of heart-warming. :)

>>Yeah, he was pretty terrible. They auditioned hundreds of singers only to find a guy that doesn't have much of a range, and he doesn't know how to project like Bruce, either. Hell, they should've saved their energy and gotten Paul Di'anno. He lives in Brazil now, of all places.
