I know that some of you may think that the awards are geared up mainly for the pop and country fraternity. But really it is a celebration of music excellence around the globe that inspires people in all corners of the world. And when it comes to metal I think that as long as it gets the recognition and acceptance that it deserves, then I am happy. And I am especially happy for you the fans. I feel that it is your award too, you have been loyal campaigners staying loyal to the music that we all love whilst giving your support to so many bands throughout the decades. None least other than Judas Priest. For this I thank you and wish for us all be winners time and time again for the good of heavy metal.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile we are continuing to put together the cool package I was speaking of and that is the 30th anniversary re-issue of \u201cBritish Steel\u201d and live DVD of the 2009 British Steel Tour. There will also be hopefully some bonus stuff too. I can\u2019t make any promises but we are determined to make it as good as it can be.<\/p>\n<p>I guess many of you are already planning which of the festivals you are going to go this year. Again I think it\u2019s going to be a bumper year with tons of great bands to see. One thing is for sure: if Priest has a rare summer off this year you will definitely see me at as many festivals as I can get too. So keep an eye out for me and as usual a good place to look would be in the beer tent!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Keep Feeding the Flames!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/signature.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-164\" src=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/signature.gif\" alt=\"signature\" width=\"181\" height=\"144\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to all metal fans across the world!
