I'd like to feel that everyone would recognize that Judas Priest was the first true heavy metal band. I think there is a special attachment to Judas Priest and metal. We were the first band to really go out and claim ourselves to be a real metal band.

We'll just do it like we always did. I'll sit down with Ken and Glen and we'll start jamming and we'll slowly put the jigsaw of metal together. I know we will make another terrific metal masterpiece ....

It's difficult to put it into words.

Each of the bands that are being honored are going to play a couple of songs apiece. And I also believe that there's going to be another band that will be doing a 'tribute' to the band that they're friends of. It's going to be terrific I can't wait.
