Whereas there are sometimes music performances related to these incomes induction by the Rock Corridor’s voting physique, it isn’t as clear the place these receiving the particular honors are involved, however because of drummer Scott Travis, we now know that Priest are planning a efficiency.
Travis was a visitor on the Rocker Morning Present with Mark Frankhouse for 107.7 RKR in Kalamazoo, Michigan (heard under), the place he mentioned the upcoming induction ceremony.
“Naturally, it is a tremendous honor. I at all times felt that Priest would get in finally, solely as a result of you’ll be able to’t have one thing known as the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame and never have Judas Priest in it. So there have been a few occasions previous to this yr the place we had been nominated — I feel that is the fitting phrase; I am undecided — however we had been within the working. And we did not fairly get in, however I used to be at all times assured,” says Travis. “Priest will get in finally, and identical factor with a number of the bands that are not in but — they are going to get in. However yeah, it is a tremendous honor. And there is nothing else you’ll be able to say about it, actually. It is fairly cool.”
As for whether or not or not we’ll see a musical illustration, Travis divulged, “Yeah, we’re. They offer you a restricted period of time ‘trigger there’s clearly plenty of artists which might be gonna be performing. In order that they gave us a set period of time to carry out. And we determined we’re gonna try to work in a medley and do a number of the Priest classics and put ’em all right into a medley, which we have by no means executed earlier than. So it ought to be fascinating.”
Priest will go into the Rock Corridor on Nov. 5, becoming a member of their fellow inductees on the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
