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.

I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

In my first bands I was a singing guitar player, but if you heard any of those songs you wouldn't describe me as a singer. But I can make it work.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

If you're not enjoying yourself, you can't really look as if you are.

I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

Too much down time makes us miss home.
