gunsnmotley Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Frontman Joey Eppard of Woodstock, NY's THREE (3) — who supported German hard rock veterans SCORPIONS on several dates in Canada earlier this fall — told the "Démentièllement Vôtre" program on Québec City's CKRL 89.1FM during an interview two weeks ago that his band might be involved in a SCORPIONS/JUDAS PRIEST tour in 2008 in North America. As previously reported, SCORPIONS' concert at Wacken Open Air in Wacken, Germany on August 3, 2006 will be released on DVD in November 2007. Entitled "Live At Wacken Open Air 2006: A Night To Remember - A Journey Through Time", the disc will include the German hard rock band's historic performance at the festival during which they were joined by former bandmates Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker and Herman Rarebell. More information is available at this location.JUDAS PRIEST is working on a concept album about the legendary 16th century prophet Nostradamus. Regarding the direction of the material and how whole concept for the record came about, frontman Rob Halford recently told PureGrainAudio.com, "We've got a bulk of the work done. It sounds absolutely fucking amazing and that's not me inflating it, it is genuinely spectacular. So we're still carrying on with that and it should be out sometime in 2008. "The idea (for the record) came from our manager Bill Curbishley, because we were ready to go in and do another studio record, but Bill came to see us towards the end of the 'Angel of Retribution' tour, he came to Russia, we were playing Russia and we had lunch with him and he said, 'Look, I have this idea.' Bill manages THE WHO, you know, Pete and Roger, and Bill was behind the enormous success of 'Tommy' and he said, 'I just think that you know, maybe you should think about this possibility of doing a concept album and I've been thinking about this guy Nostradamus.' And as soon as he brought the name up, I'm like, I'm there, let's go, you don't have to say anything else. I knew something of him already like everybody does about the books that you read about him, or on the Internet or on TV, documentaries and I thought wow, this is absolutely brilliant so that's where it all came about from."

DirtyDeeds Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I'm hoping it's an arena tour! There are so many more possibilities in an arena. Such a better overall SHOW in an arena.Man, I would KILL to see the Scorpions in an arena! Judas Priest would be amazing, too! I hope the co-headline. I don't want to see either of them being an opening act.... two full two hour sets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
