As to Mr Halford, i must admit to being a tad mischevious. Metal Works, the 2-disc priest set, is sitting not three foot from me at this minute. 80202@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Aug 2004 14:05:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/18/112319.php#comment-80200 "..even Rob Halford, the fella what used to sing about Breakin' The Law, Breakin' The Law and Living After Midnight as frontman for, I believe, The Iron Maidens." DUKE?????? HELLO? are you there?? Iron Maiden??? at least you got the song titles right. J-U-D-A-S P-R-I-E-S-T. that would be Judas Priest, whom Halford is back with, by the way. Also, I'm rather curious as to how you came to the conclusion that "there's a frightening number of bands playing very dated, occasionally very bad, progressive rock and also thrash and so on." via the admitted inspection of 3 DVD's, which coincidentally only contain 3 different (in your opinion, although I've only heard Carnal Forge and even you said they were pretty good...) bands. Just wonderin' is all. 80200@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Aug 2004 13:27:32 EDT
