Tommy shared his recent experience of watching them live in Rochester, Minnesota, and mentioned that they played songs from their album Turbo Lover. Mark expressed his dislike for the Turbo album but enjoyed the live performance. Michael agreed with their opinions and mentioned that Judas Priest’s live performances are always great. The conversation also touched on the band’s history, with Mark mentioning that he has been a fan since 1982 and has seen them perform in Detroit multiple times. The group also discussed the band’s evolution, with Tommy noting that they toned down the synthesizer in their later work. Lastly, Tommy praised the band’s staff for their kindness and accommodating nature, sharing his positive experience with a crew member, Rob, who gave him a guitar pick and a specialty pick.

Concert Memories and Venue Acoustics Tommy and Michael reminisced about their past concert experiences, particularly focusing on shows they attended in Rochester, Minnesota, and smaller cities within a three-hour drive. They discussed attending a Bon Jovi concert at the Mayo Civic Center, where they saw a band perform at an old school concrete building, and Michael shared his memories of meeting some of the band members. They also discussed the acoustics and design of various venues, including the Roy Wilkins in Minneapolis and the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit, noting that they were not initially designed with sound quality in mind.

Journey Concert Experience and Band Lineup Changes Tommy expressed his admiration for Journey, particularly drummer Dean Castronova and frontman Arnel Pineda, after attending their concert in Minneapolis. He criticized the harsh treatment of Pineda on social media, attributing it to overplayed songs and the band’s lineup changes. Michael agreed, emphasizing that every band has undergone lineup changes and that fans should not judge based on these changes. They also discussed the importance of confronting trolls and haters, with Michael suggesting that standing up to them can deter their behavior.

Addressing Screen Time and Meet & Greet Concerns Tommy expressed concern about the lack of personal interaction during meet and greet sessions with celebrities, suggesting that this could be a symptom of society’s increasing reliance on screen time and decreasing face-to-face interactions. He emphasized the importance of introducing oneself to the celebrity, as it would make the experience more personal and rewarding.

Forget the haters, we won!
