JUDAS PRIEST Crushing Opener with “The Hellion/Electric Eye” @ Toyota Arena 10-07-22

[@gammera69]

I was there with my two boys, on the floor we were about 15 rows from the stage I had a very proud metal dad moment when I looked over to my kids both of them were banging their heads and singing Living...but after the show I told them if this was back in the dayz you ass would have been up front against the barricade the true only way to see JUDAS FUCKIN PRIEST!!

I really love priest and have seen them multiple times over the years. I just wish they'd played this at the rock and roll hall of fame. Instead of playing the same stuff that they play every show. I guess they need to play the stuff that they're known for but I felt bad for Les Binks because they didn't play anything that he played on. They should have dug back a bit and given a more varied performance. Ultimately, I'm glad they're FINALLY there of course.

The real JP fans want the deeper cuts, but RRHOF isn't that audience. If it was, they would have been inducted 25+ years ago.

With respect, those are their "swan songs." Those are the songs that brought them their biggest success. It seems though that these inductees should play a full concert as an addition to their induction. Have concerts leading up to the inductions. Alice Cooper inducted Priest, Alice Cooper concert too then.

@@one80srocker89 I agree with you 100% my friend you are completely right. It just would have been nice if they played even a little something that Les played on so he could feel more included. And for us older fans who were listening before the eighties. Something from back in the day like better by you better than me white heat red hot or exciter, something like that.

@@metalhead-mf2zf i love those songs!!! And I hear ya! Rush is my all time favorite and pretty much knew it was gonna be Tom Sawyer and Spirit of Radio. It is the true fans as well that gives them so.much success so it also makes sense to throw a bone to the true fans and play a deeper track or even one of the band's favorites to play.

[@metalhead-mf2zf]

@@one80srocker89 I love Rush and have also seen them several times over the years. I saw the Moving Pictures tour and I also saw R40. And I think 2 or 3 times in between! You can probably tell from my screen name that I have been around a little while with metal, hard rock, and heavy music. I have played drums for 46 years and pretty much pattern my playing after Neil and Alex VH. Still struggle with Neal's passing. And speaking of Van Halen still struggling with Eddie being without us as well. I have seen Van Halen several times in the early days with Dave and also later with Sammy. Still actually have the shirts and the ticket stubs. Good times, the 80's, good years, great metal shows, great memories. God's favorite decade in my opinion, and it showed 🤘🍻

Some say Andy Sneap isn't that good a guitarist yet he f..King killed it in the lead solo in this song! Yeah gotta admit JP came out with a banger in this one!

[@tobyalder42]

Why doesn't he play Glenn's solos in Painkiller and Beyond the Realms of Death

[@jeffandersen7397]

[@artstaples8601]

My only question is why is the audience so dead?

[@Jason-lk2zt]

Because most of us are in our 50's and 60's and on painkillers or depressants and its hard to just walk around anymore let alone start a mosh pit with chairs in front of you on the floor and risk getting sore muscles, thats the truth, kids today wouldnt understand. I was there on the floor and just enjoyed the show with a cold 24 ounce beer in my hand not banging into anyone or getting pushed around like we did 30 years ago!!!!

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Old crowd. I’ve seen priest 3 times and last time I saw them in September 2021 I was probabaly the youngest guy there and I’m 34 years old. Me and my dad love em

[@zach7948]

You can't record the show with your phone and jump around like a crazy fool at the same time. 🤣

[@socalairshowreview7410]

Cant call this an opener because The Hellion is a tape recording.
