Maiden to Tour With Priest?
Being the good bloke that he is, K.K. takes time out of his busy life (mostly recording the new Priest album " Nostradamus") to answer fan questions via his website in a section brilliantly named "Ask K.K." In the latest installment aside from being hit up about going to some guy's gig, and talking about his idol Jimi Hendrix, K.K. was asked a couple questions by a fan with cruel parents named Igor. Now Igor started off with the usual kissing up and went on to ask a question about the band's videos that we won't even bother to repeat, but he did end with a great question about the possible teaming up of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden for a co-headlining tour. He asked "do you think Priest and Maiden would ever do a tour where each of you would play a full set? Both bands would play the same length of time and you could rotate who goes first and second. You could cap it off with all of you playing a duet from each band's catalogue. I could only imagine you with the Flying V and Janick Gers with his Strat together battling Eddie on stage during The Sentinel and The Evil that Men Do. Any possibility of this ever happening?"To this K.K. responded: "As for playing with Maiden, I am sure that it is inevitable but when and where maybe only Nostradamus had the answer to that one". [hum, should we read more into that answer? Will it happen on the tour promoting that album? We can start rumors as easily as the next guy]

Maiden with Priest. How absolutely FUCKING MEGA would that be? fingers crossed.....
that would be so MEGA it would turn Megadeth into Minideth.
It would be the fastest selling metal gig of all time!!!! I'd LOVE to see that.
However, I think what KK means is that only someone with the power to see the future would be able to predict that one, as no-one in either camp knows anything about it.
Perhaps this is the kind of thing that'll get the wheels in motion, though. Fingers crossed!
