I was thinking of Judas Priest's latest album 'Angel of Retribution', and as always was trying to download tracks for free. Then I realized my childhood metal gods were now like 56 years old on average. That made me think some....
During what I think was their best ever album 'Defenders of the Faith' ('84), Glenn Tipton was 36. For their heaviest album 'Painkiller' ('90) he was 42, and Rob Halford was like 40.
Am I up for people Paw's age screaming their heads off on stage, and doing those guitar riffs? Probably not. Why? It don't fit.
Will stick with the likes of Queensryche awhile. Ah, I coulda been screaming like a banshee as a lead singer..... alas. At least, I had the long hair once.
