I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.
It was about working with other musicians, but more than that it's about exploring musical areas that you could never do with the band you're in, in my case Judas Priest. You could tackle musical areas and lyrical areas that wouldn't be appropriate for Priest.
A lot of bands that reunite do it for the wrong reasons. They do it for the bucks and everybody can sense it.
Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change.
Priest's music is timeless, though we've evolved. We're doing something right if we've got the stalwart fans and the kids who found the band on their own.
