JUDAS PRIEST Singer Rob Halford On New Live Album - "All Of Those Songs Just Crush"
May 26, 2009, 15 years ago
Gary Graff from Billboard.com is reporting:
JUDAS PRIEST has chosen ten songs not previously released in live album form for its next concert set - A Touch Of Evil: Live, which is due out July 14, in the midst of the band's U.S. summer tour.
A Touch Of Evil: Live features renditions of such Priest gems as 'Riding On The Wind', 'Beyond The Realms Of Death', 'Dissident Aggressor', 'A Touch Of Evil', 'Eat Me Alive', and the set-closing 'Painkiller'. Also of note are the first live album appearances of standouts from Priest’s critically acclaimed 2008 concept double disc, Nostradamus ('Death' and 'Prophecy').
"I love those songs," Halford tells Billboard.com. "All of those songs just crush. Because they've never been recorded live in this way, it's just something fresh to put out. And when you listen to it and think this band has been around for three decades, with a combined age of 250-something years...I mean, how cool is that? It's a very fierce record and just captures the band's attitude and feeling in a very strong, determined way."I mean, we could've put 'Living After Midnight' or 'You've Got Another Thing Coming' out -- again. But why? This is just something great to give our fans."
