The Metal Legions Tour? Who wouldn't be down for this!

This popped up on my Facebook feed today. If this is true, it would be awesome.

Yeah, that would be awesome! I have been reading of the Priest teaming up with Maiden for a tour for a few weeks now.

It would be awesome!

I've seen all three, multiple times, but if the package comes in at under €100, sure. 40/40/20, 50/30/20, 45/35/20, 40/30/30, either way you slice it, it's good value. Easy yes for a fan of Maiden, Priest AND Testament.

I'm thinking my breaking point would be maybe €150, and I've not seen anyone outside of Led Zeppelin charge that for a single concert.

As much as I'd love to see this happen, Metalwani is the absolute worst "metal news" click bait site ever.
...and their only source is an "alleged claim" by Eddie Trunk? Dont hold your breath.

Pretty sure this is legit though. I've read a few things about this weeks ago, and pretty sure there was something posted on Judas Priests Facebook page too.

I'm excited for sure, but have a feeling Bruce will start talking shit about priest like he's done in the past. If he can just shut up and sing, then it will be a great tour.

Beyond awesome.

I've seen Priest and Maiden numerous times now over the last few years already, but if the price was right, I'd probably check it out. Never seen Testament, so that's a plus.

Yea, I'm not sure why Bruce likes to bust Rob's chops about using a teleprompter. I don't have a problem with it. Long as he sounds good, I'd rather him get the lyrics right.

Exactly! It's really annoying too, since I've always hears nothing but respect from Rob when talking about Maiden. He's been talk I g for decades about doing a sabbath, maiden and priest tour, even going so far to say he would be honored just to open for them.

But yeah who cares about teleprompter. He's not using auto tune like other older singers are using *cough*ozzy*cough* so give rob a break ffs and sing your songs.

I’d love to see that show if it came close to me!

I've seen Testament twice and Priest once. Sadly, I have yet to see Maiden. This would be a fantastic bill to catch them on.

Don't expect to see this anytime soon. Maiden's cancelled all touring for the remainder of 2020.

Stupid virus.
