"Our link section contains a huge overview from all the producers, fansites, writers, tributebands, ex-members etc..

"Beside that we have for the first time published a factsheet about the band.
The factsheet shows the visitor what JUDAS PRIEST has achieved in the past 40 years.

"One of the main achievements of the band is their 1,700 tourdates, which we have published on the Tourpages. This results in a list of 1,200 bootleg recordings, another achievement in the entertainment industry.

"We also published all the magazine covers from 1979 till 2009, JUDAS PRIEST were 275 times on the frontpage of a magazine.

"We have also free competitions with nice prizes."

JUDAS PRIEST will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its album "British Steel" by performing the LP in its entirety during the band's U.S. 2009 summer tour.
