True. Pantera was just becoming big at that time (the others mentioned were already)... and opening for Judas Priest (in the USA) helped a lot by the way.
And then Rob Halford left Judas Priest after the Painkiller tour to form a band called Fight that was musically inspired by Pantera and the current "groove" thrash metal scene. Funny how all that works out

8/365
Screaming for Vengeance – Judas Priest
The Hellion – A wicked intro, should be part of the following track but sadly it isn’t – 8/10
Electric Eye – Transitions perfectly from The Hellion, the Chorus vocals are a little weak but the instruments are killer – 7/10
Riding On the Wind – A furious drum introduces this song with great guitar work kicking in soon after. Vocals are better although I still need to get more used to Halford’s high pitched style. – 8/10
Bloodstone – Another nice rocker, slightly slower paced but Halford’s vocals are better on this one – 8.5/10
(Take These) Chains – A strong mid paced track. A nice change from the previous faster songs but still a strong track although lyrics could use some more variety – 8/10
Pain and Pleasure – A decent track doesn’t grab you as aggressively as the previous tracks – 6.5/10
Screaming for Vengeance – Kicking off with a nice scream from Halford before launching into action with rapid fire vocals. Instrumentation remains strong throughout this entire track. -8.5/10
You’ve Got Another Thing Comin – An amazing mid paced track easily designed for a live setting - 9/10
Fever – Starts off slower before picking up into a midpaced track with the usual nice instrumental portion. You think it ends then it comes back again before ultimately concluding– 7.5/10
Devil’s Child – Picking up the pace somewhat Devil’s child has a nice riff and overall is another enjoyable track from Priest - 8/10
Overall Rating 79%

As I previously mentioned, Richie promises a few surprises in the setlist for the upcoming NA leg: https://www.loudersound.com/news/judas-priest-promise-setlist-surprises-on-north-american-tour
''We're working up new songs for the setlist for this go-around. There'll be a few surprises in there – some songs that maybe people haven't heard for a long time, or ever from the band...
''So it's exciting just to see people's faces when you throw a new song in there or a blast from the past''.
''We're looking forward to coming back through. It's a slightly different stage production. We've got some new ideas for that as well. So it's going to be an exciting tour. We can't wait to get back out there''.

From Firepower, I would like to see: Spectre, Never the Heroes and Traitors Gate.
Classic songs: Rock Hard Ride Free, Heading Out to the Highway, Dissident Aggressor, Riding on the Wind, Exciter, Tyrant and Between the Hammer and the Anvil.

Traitors Gate is a must. I expect Rock Hard Ride Free (Faulkner's favorite song) and probably something from ROS.

Reading this discussion made me want to check trivia on Wikipedia. And this could be filed under the title "bad choices":

For the people who read Downing's book: if interested: Both his parents are still alive. He finds it unbelievable that his father is still alive.
Antwort: Mit mit meiner Mutter und meinen beiden Schwestern habe ich noch einen ganz normalen Kontakt. Mit meinem Vater aber nicht mehr. Er ist ein schlechter Mensch. Er ist ein Spieler und hat früh aufgehört zu arbeiten. Es ist unglaublich, dass er noch lebt. Er ist irgendwas mit 90 Jahre alt. Meine Mutter ist 85, sie ist noch gut beisammen. Sie hat meinen Vater verlassen als sie 48 Jahre alt war.

A segment on Maiden (google translated):
Question: Iron Maiden were the great rivals of Judas Priest when it came to who is coming to the heavy metal throne. The book describes the trouble Priest had with Iron Maiden on the 1980 tour. How is your relationship today with the members of Iron Maiden?
Answer: Nicko (McBrain, drummer, editor's note) has always been a good boy. I knew him before he came to Iron Maiden. The relationship with the others is okay too. Iron Maiden are very successful, and I'm proud of what they did for Heavy Metal. It would be great to see a tour with Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. But we are all dinosaurs that will one day die out (laughs).

Well, you have got Ozzy with Priest this year, though I guess he wants to be in on it. Do Maiden still get on with Ozzy, or rather, does Sharon still get on with Maiden? Was reading earlier about how the Ozzfest Twitter page wished Adrian happy birthday... by posting a photo of him playing at the infamous Ozzfest 2005. Awkward.

Thanks for that new interview with K.K.
Someone should have told him that Black Sabbath have retired and he is no longer in Judas Priest. It is what it is.

Instead of a tour, they could play a couple of one-off shows, which Sabbath didn't rule out. Andy Sneap will leave after the end of the Firepower Tour.
It could be possible for K.K to come back.

I really really hope that K.K. will join back. It's not impossible.
