Judas Priest is going on a second leg of their tour with Sabaton this year! .The second leg kicks off in September in Canada and wraps up on October 26th at Toyota Music Factory in Irving.
SPEAKING OF JUDAS PRIEST...
Rob Halford is looking ahead to Judas Priest's next studio album -- mainly because he doesn't like the number that they've done so far!
Halford tells Guitar World that this year's Invincible Shield is their 19th studio album, and that "I don’t like 19. It’s an odd number. I’m an ‘even number’ kind of guy. I like 20."
Halford feels that making one more album to get to that even number should be easy saying, "I think Richie [Faulkner] is an endless well of guitar ideas, and Glenn [Tipton] has vaults of riffs we’ve never used, and a good riff will last forever. It’s all about perspective and presentation. When you’ve got all that sorted out, why stop?"
