And we say, THANK YOU! The very band`s classic album (Rockarolla) our magazine is named after was forged in fire on tuesday on the very night of Hard Rock Cafe`s 40th anniversary! Judas Priest joined our afterparty on stage and made it a moment to remember!

Being life-long fans of Judas Priest it was one of those once-in-a lifetime moments when it turns out that the mighty Priest would be playing in Oslo the same night as we would be launching ROCKNROLLA and was in fact a mere co-incidence.

Hard Rock Cafe was born on 14th of June 71`and in this case their anniversary happened to be on a tuesday - not the most spectaular night of the week for any anniversary, but somehow it seems that there is a bit of destiny behind this one...

All the ingredients was in the mix:  We`d booked the right venue, got hold of the coolest bands we knew Legends, Classic Venue, Pornstars, Free Beers, Free Tickets, Rockers, Bikers, ...what could possibly be missing on a tuesday in Oslo?

Since it was after the Judas Priest gig we logically had to pay them "tribute" by finishing off the evening with top-notch Priest tribute band PAINKILLER - after a few tunes that will surely be remembered - most definently by the "painkillers" themselves - the f...n Priests themselves came out of no-where, took over the instruments & showed us all what time it was. Still not sure if it has actually happened!

One thing is sure - the myth surrounding Rock`n Roll is very much alive

Don`t have to be old to be wise! But it sure is good to be old enough to have seen the Priest machine live for the 3rd decade (in my case) & We are still stunned, hung-over and no articles, work done etc. and won`t - until we recover... What hit us?

JANE HELEN BAND, CAROLINE AND THE TREATS, THE HARD ROCK CAFE CREW, ATOMIC SOUL HOSPITALITY & THE MOTLEY F...N CREW OF ROCKNROLLA MAGAZINE & THE MIGHTY JUDAS PRIEST!!!

THAT`S WHAT FUCKIN`HIT US! BREAKIN`THE WHAT??? BREAKIN THE WHHHHHAAAAT??

The Priests are most definently on form and we shall not let them down!

FUCK ME - THIS WAS THE BEST NIGHT EVER! Thank You all!
- Rocknrolla Crew
