**BTW..... Why do people rave over British Steel so much? Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight were the most blatant sellouts of Priest career, purely aimed at Radio and Mtv. I grew up on Metal in the 80s...
anyone a fan of Beyond Fear? This is Tim Owens own band, one where he finally got to call the shots. The music on it is a mix of Classic style Heavy Metal with some Thrash and Power moments. But the real point is the chance for Tim to reach out and scream like he has seldom been allowed to do...
