[@ananominity]

I had been practicing this song until I could play both guitar parts and make it sound like the album. 2 weeks later I'm in the biggest rock club in Phoenix when Halford showed up and wanted to sing it. I was the only person in the club that could play it so I played with the touring band. I couldn't believe i nailed it from beginning to end and that never happens. Midway thru Halford came up behind me and hooked his arm around my throat with the microphone and a lit cigarette in his hand, and a pitcher of beer in the other. That was the greatest moment in my musical career.

If what he does in his spare time with a consenting adult offends you, that's your problem. Don't listen to his art if he offends you. If you ever had sex for non-procreative purposes, you are also running afoul of the same bullshit book of iron age fables. I would much rather use any number of more logically consistent fiction books to base my morality off of, if I was in need of such guidance.

[@doctorbonkers1]

***** One also doesn't need to hide under the skirt of an imaginary sky daddy to sit in judgement of other human beings, but yet you use it as some sort of justification for your homophobia. Your sky daddy believes that people who have sex out of wedlock are damned. If you did that, you are doomed to burn in a lake of fire according to your NT as well as OT. But somehow, I don't believe you really believe that because it is convenient for you as most christians who pick from their holy book what they are going to follow like picking items from a Chinese food menu. If it hurts you none, then why do you feel the need to comment on Halford's sexuality and defend your remarks? Keep your small minded, dark ages bullshit pent up in your own little world. Priest fans have no stomach for your lot.

That said, even as a fan of nearly 40 years, I'm still stunned at how profoundly, at least to my ears, the loss of KK has affected the soul of this band. This isn't a knock on Richie - he's a great player who's stepped into an impossible-to-fill spot - but yeah...not the same. And Scott Travis...I swear I've tried, but he continues to rank number one with a bullet on my list of the most soulless, robotic drummers of all time.
