Last November, JUDAS PRIEST announced the rescheduled "50 Heavy Metal Years" North American tour dates for March-April 2022. Downing parted ways with the band in 2011, and was replaced by Richie Faulkner. Rob left PRIEST in the early 1990s to form his own band, then came back to PRIEST in 2003. Halford joined the group in 1973 and Tipton signed on in 1974. "īassist Ian Hill is the sole remaining original member of PRIEST, which formed in 1969. I mean, I've said to Glenn, 'Just walk out on stage and do that to everybody, and the people will just go fucking crazy, 'cause you are loved so much.' But I've got a feeling that Glenn's gonna be making the occasional appearance on this 50th-anniversary. He plays the guitar differently, but there's no reason why Glenn can't show up and do some work. And don't discount the fact that Glenn can show up. And as a result, Andy stepped in and did amazing work on the 'Firepower' tour, and we're looking forward to doing the same thing with him on this 50th-anniversary. That's Glenn treasuring PRIEST and PRIEST's reputation, particularly in live concert more than anything else. It was a really important day when Glenn said, 'I think it's probably best if I step to the side and maybe we should let Andy come in.' That was just a really beautiful act of selflessness. It couldn't have happened in a better way, if you wanna try and make something good out of it. Andy is still standing in that spot for Glenn with Glenn's blessing… And my gratitude to Andy. PRIEST singer Rob Halford recently told Metal Pilgrim that Glenn is "still actively involved with JUDAS PRIEST, a hundred percent. He was replaced by "Firepower" album producer Andy Sneap, who is also known for his work in NWOBHM revivalists HELL and cult thrash outfit SABBAT.Īs he has done a number of other times over the course of the last three and a half years, Tipton joined PRIEST onstage on Bloodstock for the encore, performing "Metal Gods", "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight". Tipton was diagnosed with Parkinson's eight years ago - after being stricken by the condition at least half a decade earlier - but announced in early 2018 he was going to sit out touring activities in support of JUDAS PRIEST's latest studio album, "Firepower". The band also pulled out a number of surprises in its set, including first-ever performances of "One Shot At Glory" and "Invader", as well as several tracks that hadn't been played in a long time, such as "Rocka Rolla (performed for the first time since 1976), "Exciter" (first time since 2005), "Hell Patrol" (first time since 2009), "A Touch Of Evil" (first time since 2005), "Dissident Aggressor" (first time since 2009) and "Blood Red Skies" (first time since 2012). The British heavy metal legends, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary, were rejoined by guitarist Glenn Tipton during their first concert in more than two years.

And I think many other fans of the band would agree. But that being said, I feel that the setlist was everything I could have wanted and more. Now, I will say that I honestly would not have minded at all if they threw in a couple of other newer tracks, as the last few albums they have put out with Todd La Torre on vocals have been amazing and on par with the early classic Queensryche albums. "Man the Machine" was the sole newer track in the setlist with the night being devoted to classic Queensryche. The full setlist featured 90 minutes of Ryche classics and a future classics, "Man the Machine" from their latest release, 2019's The Verdict. The show was presented in conjunction with Loaded Concerts and the night saw Queensryche playing clearly their best setlist ever to an enthusiastic crowd of 80s headbangers. The heavy metal faithful came out and rocked out to the mighty Queensryche, on an off-night of Judas Priest's 50 Metal Years Tour (Queensryche were direct support for the tour) for a full headlining set of Ryche classics Sunday night, April 3 at Paramount Hudson Valley Theater in Peekskill, NY.
