We had just come to the end of our first massive American tour

He woke me up, I came downstairs, and said, "Glenn, it seems like youre living after midnight Rosetta Stone down here." And he said, "Thats a great title for this song!" Its full of memories like that — walking around the lake where Lennon was rowing across in that "Imagine" video. I always will be a Beatles fan. If you want to learn about writing a good song, listen to the Beatles. Its as simple as that. At what point did you realize youd come up with such a strong album?30 years later [laughs]. Were so British in that way — we never take anything for granted. Its natural to feel good about what youve created, but you have no control over its fate or destiny. Its up to the masses to figure where its going to stand. But looking at its value 30 years later, its an important record for the genre of heavy metal.What were audiences initial reaction to "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight"?It was absolutely immediate. Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 That riff in "Breaking the Law" is like our "Whole Lotta Love" or "Smoke on the Water." More exciting to us was how it was creating things in America, because we had been to America on a few tours. Suddenly, we had music that could be played on American rock radio. British Steel has a very strong American connection because of that. Among Priests earlier stateside shows was opening for Led Zeppelin in Oakland, on what would be their last two U.S. performances with John Bonham.We had just come to the end of our first massive American tour. We were ready to go back home, and then we got a call from management that Robert Plant knew we were over here, and said, "Wed love Priest to open for Zeppelin."

When we went on, there was still a lot of that fog that you get in the Oakland/Bay Area. You could see a few thousand people on the floor. But while we were performing, the sun broke through, the fog lifted, and the place was absolutely full. It was mind-blowing. And then Priest soon returned the favor to other up-and-coming bands.We went out with Iron Maiden, Def Leppard. Its what you should do, no matter who you are or what music you play. Weve all got a story to tell, and were all on the same journey. Weve all been through barely affording gas and sleeping in the van — thats part of your "apprenticeship." Do you think Priests Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 audience is faithfully represented in Heavy Metal Parking Lot?The camaraderie between the people in the parking lot and the things theyre saying, it hasnt changed a lick.
