Lotsa collaborations happened over the course of the evening – everything from Sebastian Bach doing Skid Row’s “Youth Gone Wild” with Asking Alexandria; Scott Ian of Anthrax covering Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Want To Be With You” with Volbeat, and Avenged Sevenfold rocking Guns N’ Roses “It’s So Easy” with Duff McKagan.
When McKagan’s Loaded hit the stage, they were joined by Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor for a crack at Judas Priest’s “Electric Eye,” which originally appeared on 1982’s “Screaming For Venegeance” album.
Priest are launching their Epitaph tour June 7 in Holland; it is being billed as the band’s final tour. This past week, Priest announced the retirement of guitarist K.K. Downing after almost 40 years with the group; he’ll be replaced by 31 year-old British guitar player Richie Faulkner (Dirty Deeds, Voodood Six, Lauren Harris), who has reportedly already blended seamlessly into the band.
The Epitaph Tour will include songs from every Priest studio album as well as tracks that they have never before performed on stage - plus all the classics.
