Saw Priest and Queensryche last night.....

[9985]

I was about see Queensrÿche in Vegas who were opening for The Scorpions.. for some reason skid row took over for Queensrÿche. Fortunately I saw them back in late 80s; they either opened for scorps or Metallica. I can’t remember.
We shall see how the scorps are tonight.

I had pre-ordered tickets for one of the Vegas shows with QR & Scorps before COVID, show got rescheduled, then re-scheduled again, I eventually took a refund- then they swapped out for Skid Row for the 2022 dates, bummer because I think the Vegas thing that starts tonight is the only US dates for Scorpions, who I have never seen somehow.

Scorps are always great live. I asked my wife “hey wanna go to Vegas?”
“Yes”
“Wait, what are we doing?”
“Uhhh concert?, scorpions..”
“I guess”
Shwing!!!

Seen Queensryche in Chicago mindcrime tour. They recorded the next night in Milwaukee if I recall. At their prime.
As for Priest gotta give Rob kudos for being out there at 70. I saw them like two years ago. Andy Sneep was playing with them. Sadly they did a lot of B side tunes. A far cry from their prime. Thst night Rob punted a cell phone 80 yards into the crowd from someone right in front of him.

I personally find Sneap to be a meh fit for the band. I know he treats it like he's won american idol or something but the guy just can't handle the leads and doesn't have stage presence. Am I wrong?

You’re not wrong. Priest has been plagued by poor management and some terrible business related decision making since 1980 when Jayne Andrews came into the picture.
