A vital part of rock history, British heavy metal legends JUDAS PRIEST have spent four decades writing classic songs and putting on spectacular live shows. During this period, the band has sold in excess of 30 million albums, and played to countless millions of fans across the globe. In 1982, they released their eighth studio album, “Screaming For Vengeance”, containing their hugely successful “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'”, the single which proved that metal could get mainstream radio airplay in the U.S. — leading the way for a whole generation of new metal bands.
To celebrate the 30-year anniversary of this epic release, JUDAS PRIEST present you with “Screaming For Vengeance – Special 30th Anniversary Edition”, containing not only the remastered original album plus bonus tracks, but also a live DVD from the 1983 US Festival show, filmed in San Bernadino CA on May 29, 1983.
The US Festival was intended to be a celebration of evolving technologies; a marriage of music, computers, television and people — organized by Steve Wozniak, formerly of Apple.
The “Screaming For Vengeance – Special 30th Anniversary Edition” live DVD was filmed at the second, and what turned out to be last, US Festival in 1983. The Sunday was the Heavy Metal Day. “It was the day new wave died and rock ‘n’ roll took over.” It set the single-day concert attendance record for the U.S. with an estimated 375,000 people.
JUDAS PRIEST had this to say about this memorable day in metal history: “On the day that we performed, we flew in by helicopter — and the first sight we saw was that of thousands of abandoned cars piled up around the crests of the hills that surrounded the festival arena, which as we went over took our breath away. For there below us, spread throughout hundreds of acres was a massive crowd — over three hundred thousand strong! The summer heat was raging and combined with the hot Santa Ana winds made for a scorching metal furnace on stage.”

Movie Theater shooting..What in the Hell is happening with the world?

It seems like everything is sliding off the rails. When I was in school I never heard of a school shooting that I remember. Then a few years later there have been a rash of them. Now we have face eating “zombies” that are attacking people and chewing their faces off them. Little Kids disappearing every damn day and most of the time a parent is too blame. Now we have a shooting at a movie theater… Have we all lost our freaking minds? And sadly, it has to be in the back of every law enforcement Officers’ mind that there will be copycats that will take this “new” idea and run with it.
And to top it off, this will give the Government another reason to attempt to ban guns.
I don’t know friends, I don’t have the answer but I wish someone would but the brakes on and slow this out of control car down and let’s get back to a better time.
