JUDAS PRIEST, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT To Tour UK

[Woogie]

I`ll hold out for Down, Metallica and The Sword

[Crazy_Joe]

Just ordered myn for the London date!

£37.50 I think it was when I looked. Plus however much they'll charge in booking fee plus the compulsory recorded post they seem to do now for very gig at the SECC, presumably the other shows are to within a couple of quid the same.

£37.50 is "insultingly expensive" for a gig ticket?! Someone should have told me sooner!

[Crazy_Joe]

£37.50 is fine. The 2 support bands are so big they can headline their own tours so you're getting a bargain really.

Ordered my Ticket yesterday, I can't wait.

Ordered my floor ticket for the MEN show. I've not seen Priest since the Ram it down tour. Anyone else going to the Manchester show?

[shobet]

Ooooh it's today and I'm pissing myself with excitement. It's been so many years since I've seen any of these bands and I hope to god they are as good as I remember!

I just realised it's been since '88 since I saw Priest on the Ram it Down tour. God I feel so old...

Anyone else going to the Manchester one tonight?

I'm going to be at the London show on Saturday. I can't wait, I haven't seen Megadeth since The World Needs A Hero tour and I haven't seen Testament since the Live In London show.

Always wanted to see Priest and I finally get to  :D

[SG Thrasher]

Well I went the NEC one on Saturday and the priest show is something you'll not forget, Halford is back on form again and the rest of the guys are better than ever.

Megadeth were pretty cool, it's a shame that someone like Chris Broderick is completely overshadowed by Mustaine, though.

Testament were a little boring, they could play great, no doubt, but their sound was just mush(Not their fault, I'm sure) and I could barely hear the guitar parts. It was one of those gigs where you have to look at the guitarists hands to hear what they're playing. The fat guitarist is using 5350's so keep an eye out for them if you like to eye up the gear like I do at gigs.

Megadeth had a bunch of empty JVM heads and cabs on stage, didn't see what they were really using, though.

Best bit of the night was getting Glen Tiptons plec. If you have to stand, get over by Glenn on the right side of the stage, there's more action over there.

Hm, my brother is seeing them here in Sweden, meself, im not going, i think i feelt so regretful when i saw Candlemass standing in the front row without ear plugs, i was a bit worried about my ears after that!
However, a GREAT combination, i sure enjoy all of those bands, although not the recent stuff of any (although i havent given Judas Priest to much attention, so im not sure how their later albums are), but its a promising show i believe!

[Antag]

I'm going to Saturday's show in London.

I last saw Priest on the Demolition tour at the Astoria (2005?), Megadeth at the Milton Keynes bowl ('92?) when Metallica's roadies kept sabotaging the PA :roll: & Testament in late '87 supporting Anthrax on the Among the Living tour.

Can't wait :)

EDIT: Correcting some typos & also just remembered that I saw Testament on the Clash Of The Titans tour ('89?)

I went to see them in Sheffield and it was the same there, all we could hear through the testament set was noise. Megadeth and Preist were good though, although the sound wasn't great for them either.

Demolition tour? It was the A.O.R tour in 2005.

^Was Mustaine's guitar sound just a squeely trebley mess for you aswell?

The bass drum on every band was far too loud aswell.

Demolition tour? It was the A.O.R tour in 2005.

Well, whatever year the Demolition tour was (I did put a ? after 2005 as I honestly can't remember the year & am too lazy to look it up :)) was when I saw them.  Took the wife with me & we stood on the balcony.  Ripper Owens was really good, glad I got to see Priest with him in the line-up.

With Suicidal Tendencies, Testament, Megadeth and Slayer if I remember correctly. I was at the Wembley show and remember fondly the crowd having none of it when Slayer wanted to mime to a song to make a video. Oh and Kerry King sounded like a tractor. Oh happy days...
