NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Nooo!

Whoa holy shit they're pulling out all the stops

Fucking RIP Priest

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Damn, these guys were awesome.

Fucking RIP Priest [2]

No no no no nooooooooooo! Damn, I've seen them four times and all but this sucks =[

I'm glad I got to see them at the the Metal Masters tour, but this is very saddening, they've been my favorite band since high school and I was really looking forward to at least one more studio album. And it's a shame because they kept getting better with each show.

But I've enjoyed their material and they've done the genre well.

5th August - Wacken Festival, Germany

One of the first major Metal heavyweights to call it quits.

These guys were the shit when I was in 5th and 6th grade.
Maiden is next.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

FUCK NO

haha, will they do a Kiss and do a 29th I Swear This Is The Final Final Final Tour..Ever!

Glad I got to see them

finally

I saw them too.

Was so awesome

nostradamus was cool man

scottyvee you are a fool if you honestly believe Judas Priest are not hanging it up. Judas Priest are not KISS or Ozzy Osbourne when it comes to farewell tours.

Biggest news of 2010

Nostradamus did suck. Sad they are quitting because they are cool live, but no more studio albums = no big loss.

Yeah Ozzy Osbourne was doing one of those fake farewell tours in the 1990's. That was one of the reasons Ronnie James Dio didn't play with Tony, Geezer, and Vinnie for that show Ozzy Osbourne was on. Rob Halford called Dio and asked if it was all right if he sung with Black Sabbath.

1. It was a "False" Farewell Tour
2. He believed Black Sabbath is too legendary to be opening for anyone.

damn.

This saddens me.

Upon careful thought I have deduced that perhaps it is for the best, I mean the last thing I want to see is the legendary Priest become like the Stones...

Also much as I'm loathe to admit it, Halford have been putting out better albums than Priest recently, so hopefully Rob will continue at least. Perhaps a few sporadic reunion shows here and there over the next decade will come to pass. I'm cracking open a cold one in toast to one of the few bands to truly embody what it means to be 'metal'.

depressing as hell

hahaha yessssss

Fucking RIP Priest [3]

Atleast they're ending on a high note

A part of me just died, seriously. Although I can really only call 3 or 4 of their albums 'exceptional', there still one of my favorite bands. I'm almost tempted to sell all of my things, and fly out to Europe to see them.

damn this is sad news, Priest fucking rip it up live. They were the first band my brother ever saw and I'm damn proud of taking him to that show.

RIP Priest, metal legends forever

Where do I fucking start.....sad news but they gave us decades of amazing metal and they've earned their rest. You can't really sum up in words what these guys did for heavy music. RIP Judas Priest..

High-pitched voice guy from Family Guy: "Ooohhhh nnooo"
"I knooooooww"

If this is like EVERY OTHER band's farewell tour, then we will all be able to enjoy Priest for years to come.

THIS IS THE PAINKIIIIILLLLLLER!

Gotta respect them for knowing when to call it quits but man what a weak album to close out on. R.I.P Painkiller

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WE ARE LOST ABOOOOOOOVE!

They saw At The Gates were reunited and were like. Shiiiit, we gotta get outta here!

Metal definitley isn't my faourite genre, but Judas Priest are easily my favourite Metal band
This is so so sad.

I hope they tour Australia because they said they would be back when they were here last tour.

Is one last album in the vein of Sad Wings/Painkiller/Angel of Retribution?

Metallica needs to pay attention to this.

These guys are in their sixties, no one should be sad. It is like bawling your eyes out because somebody in your family died at 90. They have had a full-healthy career, celebrate the good times and rock Painkiller.

I hope they come to California, I've never seen them live.

Glad I got to see them live. RIP Priest.

That's sad to hear. I was never a fan, but I still find it sad to see a band like them quit.

It's most likely for the best, though. I'm sure it would be tough to keep going at that age. I'm actually impressed that they went this long

A loss to all Metal IMO.

Sad news. Hoping they get to Australia, otherwise I'll have never seen them.

They were out here like 2 years ago man.

Damn I'm sad

Fucking RIP Priest [3]

fudck,

Man I was born 25 years too late...God I hope they come to Boson on this thing.

Never really listened to them, but it's still sad to see such a legendary band go...

Fucking RIP Priest [4]

Love this band so much, RIP Judas PRiest [5]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!
WHY?

Fucking RIP Priest [6]

Metallica needs to pay attention to this.

the FUCK

Who the fuck cares

Who the fuck cares

idc

seriously Priest fucking slays live. If you get a chance to go to this tour, don't miss it. Their riffs are approximately 8763 times more awesome live.

yea titan gtfo this threads for priests fans only

STAND BY FOR EXCITER!!!!!!!!!!

STRAIGHT OUT OF HELL

WHAT OTHER KIND

lol Erratic lol

A damn shame. I will not miss this.

STARBEAKER

Really glad I caught these guys live a few years ago. Whenever I remember Halford's screams during 'Painkiller' my brain still feels like its getting electrocuted. Good for them following their own will, although the metal gods will be missed.

tempted to trek all the way to London to see these guys.

hopefully the line-up will be good

One of the most important metal bands ever, but it's a good thing they know when to stop. Hopefully Maiden will not too soon, I still need to see them.

Rob Halford is gay.

that didnt stop him rocking
