Priest were awesome in the trial. They played the album backwards just to prove anything that sounded like a message was completely random, things like "Hey ma, I wanted a peppermint", and other nonsense.robnobcorncob wrote:Noone kicked up a fuss when Cannibal Corpse played San Fransisco bathhouse in 2006? heck Behemoth are here this weekend... why isn't that worrying people?
Kinda reminds me of Frank Zappa vs. the US Government back in 85' arguing about censorship, and how 'Frankie Goes To Hollywood' was a band with subliminal messages, Judas Priest were also accused of this. Glenn Tipton replied 'We can't even spell Subliminal' !!
As one of them said at the time "Why would we want to kill off our own fans who buy the records. If we put a message on there it'd be 'buy more priest albums' ".
And the undeniable logic of "That record came out in '78 , how come it's taken so long for someone to kill themselves ? If there was anything in it they should've been dropping like flies for years !"
