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
