Each country has its own character, but heavy metal fans all over the world have a lot in common. It's fantastic.

We've never been to Chile before. The lobby is full of Priest fans. They're holding the albums and wearing our T-shirts.

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.

And because of the reunion I think we've got more energy and enthusiasm than we've ever had. And it's genuine. I think the fans can detect when you're genuine, when you love what you do, and we love to be there on stage. That's what we thrive on.

Our helicopter has been granted permission to fly and we're receiving offers from across the country of wonderful donated items to give out.

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.
