Awesome Richman, that sounds like it can’t go wrong. I would love to meet Glenn and Rob (and KK), throw down some beers, talk about the war stories…remember in ’88 when they wore those designer sweaters? and they were still like totally badass ..
DEFINE BADASS: Five guys who can take Joan Baez and Fleetwood Mac songs and turn them into metal classics. Designer sweaters were definitely where it was at around that time untill those evil Menendez brothers wore them during their trial. Sweaters are always badass on March seventeenth. I have both PRIESTS and JOAN BAEZes DIAMONDS AND RUST in my IPOD. Unfortunately, these signing events are so packed it is just sign and say hi which is still pretty cool. I met OZZY when his book came out a few years back. Cool experience and that book was really funny. But of course nothing compares to meeting Eddie Trunk at CITI FIELD. He was walking out of an exclusive area and I yelled Eddie and he pumped his fist at me. The METS actually won and I met the man who said WHO WANTS TO BE LONELY is KISSes best ever song. Not bad at all.
This brings back memories..back in ’88 I was living in Los Angeles, first in Venice, then Hollywood, and I was living on the edge, So, our crew, we shared a one bedroom apt, and we would be partying and scrounging out a way to obtain income…extra work, telemarketing…( that is actually a valuable lesson in survival!) But anyway, when bands like Priest, Dio, Yngwie…when they would roll though town we would find some way to make it, whether it was piling in Stan’s 1950s station wagon with the front fender missing, spray painted black (none of us had a driver’s license, drinking, smoking. Stan looked like a male model, so Cean and I reaped the benefits, i.e. his girlfriend’s friends) or even hitchiking, Stan and I hitchiked from an Irvine Dio show…we would always find some way. On the Ram It Down tour we piled in that station wagon (also, bald tires) and drove to Long Beach and then the next night, Irvine…we were blasting tunes on the ghetto blaster (that was the car stereo) mammoth beer drinking (Stan, he would drive, he drove great)…that was our life, but the music was so important, it defined us, we were literally outcasts. Cean was this Southern redneck from GA, moved to CA, and he was such a huge Priest fan, we used to talk about Rob like a couple of old ladies…his hairline, his weight…..lol…Priest were phenomenal both nights, they destroyed Slayer at Long Beach, even though Slayer’s fans booed Priest…at first (until they pulled out Sinner, Beyond the Realms of Death, and The Sentinel) By the next night, they had Cinderella.
It is only fitting.
EDDIE TRUNK COMES UP TO ME ONE DAY
WHEN I’M WALKING OUT OF CITI-FIELD MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS
HE LOOKS ME UP (METS HAT)
HE LOOKS ME DOWN
HE SAYS WHAT BE THIS
AND WHAT BE THAT
AND BUY THE NEW WINERY DOGS CD
I KINDA LAUGH AND SAY
I ALREADY GOT IT
… oh lord, an 80’s Kiss reference.
An autograph from Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest is like an autograph from Gary Cherone of Van Halen. Not that he isn’t a good replacement, just a fact.
Get over it
Good comeback genius.
Good call on TURBO, Clown. HELL BENT FOR LEATHER is my favorite and TURBO is my second. If you like PRIEST and you like KISS, TURBO is for that type of fan. ROCK YOU ALL AROUND THE WORLD……
Actually, the band’s music to me isn’t necessarily about a particular direction they may take, it’s more about the band’s being on top of their game, and if they took some chances. Turbo was an album that has some iffy songs, Rock You, Locked In, and Parental Guidance, i”m not sure about, though Locked In has a great bridge. But it does have some excellent material, Reckless, and why didn’t the guys shoot a video for Wild Nights and stick that on MTV? …unbelievable! But they definitely were not repeating themselves there, and that’s what is pretty rare in metal, Maiden has made the same album about a dozen times. Priest was this forward trajectory, everything: from the lead breaks, to the songs, was up ratcheted with each release. They ran out of steam around ’88…and should’ve just dissolved…purely from an artistic standpoint. Do other stuff, Rob did quit. But it’s just too much of a business now.
