Lets start off with a little story… I remember when I was young and my brother gave me a vinyl… Judas Priest’s Ram It Down… little did I realise this would be the start of my metal music journey. I put the vinyl on the record player and listened to the familiar crackling noise that happens when you put a vinyl on…then it hit me… Rob Halfords initial scream on the title track RAM IT DOWN. I was blown away but then the guitars and drums kicked in and just thinking about it now with a smile on my face I can remember how blown away I was by this it was life changing.

Fast forward to 2024 I found myself in the photo pit at Resorts World Arena photographing the metal gods Judas Priest with support from the mighty Saxon and Uriah Heep (sadly because of traffic I missed the 3 songs) but they did sound awesome. being in the photo pit infront of Saxon and Judas Priest I was like a kid at Christmas who got his most wanted gift, Judas Priest setlist was a mixture of Invincible Shield and the classics, Turbo Lover, Green Manalishi With The Two Pronged Crown, Breaking The Law etc.
