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.

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

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

We've been through a lot together. Priest is known for its live music, so what we're looking for to is playing again.

There are right and wrong reasons for doing solo projects, and this album was done for the right reasons. At the time there was no Judas Priest and I certainly wasn't going to hang my hat up on my musical career.

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.
