It looks like Judas Priest has found some inspiration in the current resurrection and success of classic heavy metal. Not only are a whole new generation of bands bringing back the classic sound, classic bands such as Iron Maiden, Accept and The Scorpions have not only experienced some great success in 2010 but they are all proving to the masses to still be extremely relevant in these modern times. KK Downing talked to BraveWords & Bloody Knuckles recently and had this to say:
“It seems that the time has come for us to put the touring wheels in motion for our next world tour in 2011!
It seems just like yesterday, as they say, that we were on tour with our good friends BUDGIE, ACCEPT, WARLOCK, AC/DC, SAXON, PANTERA… to name just a few. Very good memories indeed!
Actually, I have just received a copy of Accept’s new album Blood of the Nations. And was really happy that Wolf and the boys are still creating great classic metal. I think it was back in ’81 that Priest and Accept hit the road together for the first time and what a great tour that was! I really hope that we can meet up with the guys next year, at least on some of the festival dates and have a good laugh when talking about the old times.”
