Even if you're only a slight Priest Fan, or just a Metal fan in general....SEE THIS CONCERT!!!!! I caught them in Atlanta 2 weeks ago, and I'm still amazed. It was unbelievable!!!!
Oh, and to the idiot "jitalo"......If you would've ever heard "Diamonds and Rust" live....you'll know why it's acoustic!

I'd just like to know what two songs they were. Considering it's VH1 they'd have to be some older ones that people would know.
Maybe "Turbo Lover"...LOL (just kidding, of course).

If you heard that song live it was mindblowing. And fans of early Judas know they did a lot of slow almost opera-like songs. I think some of their best stuff !

ok we believe you can do acoustic but no priest fan wants to hear you do it! you were put on this earth to rock! just stick with what you do best and i was never a big fan of diamonds and rust, and frankly none of thier early stuff matches anything they have done since british steel. maybe this puts me in the minority but i am sick of the hardchore people babling on about the classic early priest. ok stuff that does not measure up to the stuff that made them famous, hell i even like turbo better than the early crap.

I heard Diamonds & Rust acoustic.........not even close to being as good as the "Plugged-In" with drums studio version they played on the Sin After Sin album.

Maiden & Priest just waste valuable time bringing some of it on tour...Nirvana was ok band afterwards, but I've heard they started this on MTV, and now most people think is cool, but just SUCKS, unless it was actual acoustic songs by LED ZEP or RUSH older albums! Speaking of 'covers', RUSH's "Feedback" is v/good!

metal bands should never do acoustic. it's so far what metal is about and it's gay, not that there's anything wrong with gay people...
