Steel Panther Will Tour the U.S. with Judas Priest

Although I’m none too keen on the idea of Judas Priest continuing with K.K. Downing, I am keen on the idea of the largest possible amount of people experiencing Steel Panther, who rule in pretty much every way it is possible to rule. If they can convince Halford to join them on stage for “Glory Hole” every night, or Halford is willing to bring them up on stage for “Ram it Down” every night, this will automatically become the best tour of 2014. But even if that doesn’t happen, you should go see Steel Panther. The fact that some version of Judas Priest will be there is really just, like, a kinda sweet bonus.
