I thinks that 18 songs is a short show

that's alright Myg....you'll still be throwin' up horns and hurting after it's over.

Nobody does it better. Better see 'em while you can.

Halford & Co. leave NOTHING on the table after a show.

HALFORD IS THE JAMES BROWN OF METAL.

He can out-work singers HALF his age, and just plain OWN 'em.
(Not to mention, unlike Geddy [with all due respect], he can STILL nail
the high notes.)

His command of the stage/audience and his stage presence has never
been matched.

Young bands can learn a thing or two by going to see The Beast.

Can you tell I'm a fan? Yea-HEAAAH.

**would give my eye teeth to hear "Sinner" and "Hellion/Electric Eye" live
right now**

My personal opinion is Geddys voice is alot nicer now then when he could hit those high notes, as it wasn't so much singing as screeching. That any anything after say HYF i can sing in my ranges too, as I never could hit those high notes

IMHO, Ged's voice is NOT as good as it used to be, otherwise, Alex
wouldn't have to sing so much backup.

Alex used to hardly EVER....EVERRRRRR....sing.

(Except for the occasional "WOOO!" in the break of "In the Mood")

Halford, on the other hand....How does he do it man?

....I don't get it.

I mean, even Geoff Tate of Queensr?che is losing his edge...
and I'm HUGE on the 'ryche..

of course, three-hour shows don't help one's voice much either, but
I digress.

She's not sure she'll be able to meet Heaven and Hell, Testament, or Motorhead, but she will def meet the Priest! \m/\m/

I am SO happy for her.

The gig she will attend is 10 August and she really needed something like this right now. I know her gramma is stoked for her. My mom may not have been into JP, but she was always glad when we got to go see them because we love them, and she always asked how the gig went and really listened.

I'd told her earlier the year that there was a chance H could meet them and she was hoping it would come through for the kid.

Of course, she WILL give us a full report!

Cool!

VH1CL got hold of vintage reels
(Rocka Rolla/Sad Wings of Destiny era)
where Halford still had long hair.
