Im sure most of you know, but if you dont, Judas Priest and Queensryche are currently touring the US. If you get a chance to go, do yourself a favor and GO SEE THIS SHOW!!! I had the pleasure of seeing them this past friday, June 3rd in Chicago. (Tinley Park). Hands down one of the best metal shows Ive ever seen. Ive seen a ton of hard rock/metal shows (Metallica, Maiden, Megadeth, Motley Crue, DIO, Motorhead, Pantera, Sevendust, Skid Row, etc) and there are a ton of bands that can learn alot from seeing 'Ryche and Priest. THIS is how a metal show should be. 2 great bands, 2 legendary vocalists in the same night. Un-friggin-real. Queensryche played a tick over an hour of mostly OLD classics which was great. Priest played 2 hours with a not very surprising setlist, but I could listen to Rob Halford sing Happy Birthday to someone and it would probably rock. Here are the setlists:
