I am so happy for JP, R.O.S. debuting in the top 10, F’N awesome! They did a great job promoting this album with the full & mini previews of a lot of the songs on the album, very smart! And for all those idiotic critics who say Heavy Metal is dead, and nobody cares about it anymore, UP YOURS! Here’s your proof, Judas Priest is in the top 10 in 2014, BITE ME! 😉
Doug, good point about the promotion. I don’t recall Priest doing THIS much promotion for an album before. They were ALL OVER Sirius the past two weeks (including on Eddie’s show), podcasts, YouTube teasers…all the way to streaming the entire album via iTunes a week before release. After the way the band (outside of Rob) has treated new technology the past 15+ years, this was incredibly refreshing. And I think it really paid off for them. I hope it continues.
Steel Panther rules!
