The thing I most like about bands like Judas Priest, Accept, Queen and such is they do NOT treat people or fans like the band is above them, they are all very down to earth and personable and seldom take themselves too seriously.. you wont find many acts today that have THAT class..

[@nvm0]

I've seen Judas Priest live 2x and I can confirm they take themselves seriously big time. They just come on stage and destroy the place big time with their volume set up to the max. They certainly don't screw around.

Redeemer of Souls is an incredible album, Judas Priest are probably the best metal band of all time. Seriously what other band has ever been as good as Judas Priest for as long as they have?

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

Agreed! It seems to be a rare opinion, though.

[@jasonjasonjasonjasonjason]

Dorcas Meadowes they were formed the same year as Led Zeppelin that still blows my mind

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

MyGameplaying Actually, I believe Zep formed in '68, and the band we know as Judas Priest today didn't come together until around late '69 or '70. The original Judas Priest wasn't exactly the same band as the one that exists today, although they did share a common member. The Priest that's still going was first formed in 1970 as Freight, a power trio comprising K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, and John Ellis. So they're not quite as old as Led Zep, but they're definitely close! And it blows my mind that Glenn Tipton is older than Robert Plant!

[@EyeCandyAthlete]

That's because they still have an audience. They wouldn't still be going strong if nobody wanted to her their music or see them play live. I hope they tour again soon.

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

EyeCandyAthlete They will. The new album's due out in early 2017. I've unfortunately never had the chance to see them live yet, so I hope that they come to New England again this time around.
