JUDAS PRIEST's Management Dismisses 'Unauthorized' GLENN TIPTON MySpace Page

December 19, 2006

JUDAS PRIEST management representative Jayne Andrews has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"It has come to our attention that someone is trying to falsely impersonate [PRIEST guitarist] Glenn Tipton on a MySpace site. Please note that this site is totally unauthorised, unofficial and not legitimate and absolutely nothing at all to do with Glenn Tipton or JUDAS PRIEST. The only official sites relating to Glenn Tipton and JUDAS PRIEST are JudasPriest.com and GlennTipton.co.uk."

JUDAS PRIEST is currently recording a concept album about the legendary 16th-century French prophet Nostradamus. The group's frontman Rob Halford recently told Eddie Trunk of the "Friday Night Rocks" radio show on New York's Q104.3 FM about the upcoming CD, "It's colossal PRIEST — some things that you've never heard before from this band are taking place. We've just got our nose to the grindstone and we're working as fast as we can to get this all completed and wrapped up and released and out in 2007 along with some special-event shows, which we'll talk about as we get closer to that. You know, we're gonna be playing the entire opera from beginning to end. That in itself will be a unique moment for PRIEST to show to our fans around the world, and a stage show that you will not believe. . . I'm gonna kind of take on that role of the character and we're basically gonna be telling the story of his life. He had an incredible life as a man besides making these prophecies that he did. It's a great life story about the things that he went through as an individual on a personal level, so we're obviously discussing that. But we're surrounding his life lyrically with some phenomenal PRIEST music — stuff that we're just so excited about, and as I said, music that will just blow everybody away. I can't begin to discuss it, because my mind is full of the music even as I'm talking about it. So get ready for it. The PRIEST is gonna follow up after 'Angel of Retribution' with something that's gonna be bigger and better and stronger and more metallized than you've ever heard from the band."
