UFO boys, I would really love to do the whole of 'Strabgers in the Night' as a tribute to a great band and a great era in British rock

I LOVE Victim Of Changes by Judas Priest. That's a proper vocal - take that emo bedwetters!

I also like lots of early 80s postpunk/electronica/goff/industrial stuff.

Victim of Changes is my favourite rock song, and Halford is my favourite rock singer. No-one screams like him \m/ \m/

re Judas priest

i think the album screaming for vengeance(with the songs youve got another thing comin,hellion/electric eye, screaming for vengeance , and bloodstone) is an even better album than british steel

A Priest covers band would be excellent. It'd be a job and a half trying to find a Halford though. Even if one could sing like that the stage presence thing is pivotal when seeing them live. I saw them on the Evening Star tour way back when. Came out of Preston Guild Hall stunned. lol!

no one does it better than "the Priest", me fav band. Wasted many an hour playing along to priest tunes. Seen them many times over the years.

Good lad.Even though I don't have a fave band these days I had priest as top dogs for a looooong time. Also Halford solo stuff was pretty kicking.

I know a lad called Jason that was once interested in a priest trib band.. great vocalist.

For me.. Journey... and I had the opportunity once but it was a non-starter.. but I found D.O.A. too tricky at the audition; that and the fact that Steve Perry wasn't present at the audition for me to critique.

Priest trib would be a laugh, my sound is not unlike messrs Tipton and Downing, only cos they use the same preamp as me, nothing else lol
