We've never been to Chile before. The lobby is full of Priest fans. They're holding the albums and wearing our T-shirts.
album bass came cozy deserved felt good great john knew leave light player realized studio tracks until valuable
A really great album came out of it, but what it did was leave all these other tracks that I'd done with John and Cozy. I always knew that Cozy was a great drummer, but I never realized what good a bass player John was, until he came down to the studio and started to play. I always felt that these tracks were valuable tracks, and deserved to see the light of day.
band fans found kids music though
Priest's music is timeless, though we've evolved. We're doing something right if we've got the stalwart fans and the kids who found the band on their own.

It is very reminiscent of our other albums. It's a reunion album, though it is quite poignant.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.
song night yeah
Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Of course, you can't do too many new songs every night as they've never heard it.
song player guitar
In my first bands I was a singing guitar player, but if you heard any of those songs you wouldn't describe me as a singer. But I can make it work.
song writing ability
My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.
writing first-love love-is
I write a lot of stuff, and some of it I don't even present to Judas Priest. But having said that, my first love is to play Judas Priest music.
