Only $250 to wear the Metal God jacket

This is a joke. Priest used to be very fan friendly in the 80s, now they are hiding while fans pay through the nose to meet some roadies.
Something changed in the band's dynamic and attitude after the Bimbo and Bankrobber team took over and their run as a platinum band ended. Coincidence?
(They were super cool early on the Ram It Down tour though)

I dunno, $250 for this seems pretty reasonable. The KISS one was $8000 or something.

It's weird to see Halford as a a shill. Can't they get someone else to do it??

Does he say "band members may stop by"?
Does that mean $250 promises only a peak around backstage and a look at some memorabilia?
If that's the case they should probably throw in an exclusive t-shirt. And not a crappy single color one either

Bet you the scabs do it every night.

If there are any twinks there Rob would come in.

While the new music sounds promising, the new business models need to stop.
I get it, you can’t make as much money on music alone anymore but acting like Vinnie Vincent and selling air! WTF!? Will there be any band members attending or not? Scabs or Rob? Exactly what are you selling? Checking out the gear you’ll see on stage 30 minutes later anyways?

Maybe they should open a restaurant chain like Gene and Paul. Get some passive income going. Wait, not appearing at your backstage experience IS passive.

Is there nobody in Rob's life that cares enough about him to tell him the big white beard looks terrible?

Everything JP has done after DotF has been complete shit, and everyone who thinks otherwise are no different than delusional Kisstards who suck up whatever shit gets sent their way..

Wow...I'm speachless, I can hardly recognise Rob's voice. Sounds like they're going for that Turbo electronic sound x10. Visually it reminds me of the Stained Class cover.
