Judas Priest’s 50th anniversary tour kicks off here in 2022 and we are now learning that the group will be going out as… get this…
A FOUR-PIECE!!!
Metal fans worldwide are perplexed by this move as the band has spent the last half of a century forging if not defining the two-guitar heavy metal sound. In a world full of Judas Priest fans, tributes, top-notch talent and even (God forbid they bury the hatchet) KK Downing, you mean to tell me that there is nobody who could yoke up and play Glenn & KK with Ritchie??
This is simply not acceptable. But then we live in the time of a Quiet Riot going around with NO original members, so I guess I shouldn’t get myself too worked up. I just can’t help but feel that this move lacks integrity, but in the words of Phil Lynott, “It’s Only Money.”
