Im gutted about not seeing Ozzy but I'm more gutted for Ozzy he really loves playing live and his fans. Yeah maybe he should of stopped touring a while ago but can't fault his love of it. I'm also sickened about the attitude of people towards him always making a big joke about the guys health I'll always be greatful for his efforts and his love of the Metal and I hope when I'm his age I'm still rocking as hard as him.

A band like Anthrax, Sepultura or Kreator for example.

They have the pull to get anyone they want to open for them so the possibilities are genuinely endless.

I always wonder why Priest never got to the stage of headlining arenas themselves.

On their last tour for Firepower they didn't play any UK dates because of the Ozzy mess however the support bands they took out with them in other countries were, to me anyway, brilliant

Saxon and Black Star Riders
Megadeth
Accept
Uriah Heep
Halestorm
Alice in Chains

When i saw them in 2005 on the Retribution tour they had support from Scorpions (Bad, bad move) also had support from Queensryche, Hatebreed, In Flames and Anthrax in other territories with co-headline arena dates with Whitesnake. in the US.

So yes, you should get a good show when they hopefully play Dublin.

When I saw The Priest it was Megadeth and Testament I mean what a line up that is.

I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for Priest myself because I’ve never seen them and I’d really like too.

Yeah, do so whilst they are still a decent live act.

When i saw them in 2005, and i apologise for repeating myself as i've posted this previously. Rob was very static in his movement. Just him though. When you've just seen the Scorpions going absolutely ape shit for an hour and Klaus Meine dashing round like bloody Road Runner, seeing Rob stand motionless to sing was a bit of a come down. Haha!!

In the UK album charts this week Sam Smith debuts at #1 whilst Uriah Heep are new at # 73 with Chaos and Colour.

In Germany, Uriah Heep charted at No.4 this week, two notches higher than Sam Smith’s Gloria.

I definitely live in the wrong effin' country.

Interestingly for pure album sales in the UK Uriah Heep are at #4.

Just goes to show that today's charts are basically what people stream for free rather than actually paying for making them in my eyes totally irrelevant.
