For decades.\u00a0 Across one continent to the next, they have never wavered in their commitment to treating the Stage as Holy Ground\u2026\u201d<br \/>\u2013 Gene Simmons, KISS<\/p>\n<p>Sony Music are proud to announce the release of a unique Judas Priest album.\u00a0 The Chosen Few is an album curated by Judas Priest\u2019s contemporaries in the music world \u2013 each artist picking their own favourite Priest track and explaining why it is special to them. Included are legends such as Ozzy Osbourne, James Hetfield, Alice Cooper, Joe Elliott, Slash, Lemmy, Kerry King and Corey Taylor. All build an album from the very best of Judas Priest \u2013 from 1977\u2019s \u201cDiamonds And Rust\u201d through to 1990\u2019s \u201cPainkiller\u201d. A selection of excerpts are below:<\/p>\n<p>LARS ULRICH, METALLICA &#8211; BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH<br \/>\u201cThe blueprint for the epic rock ballad. Copied thousands of times, never eclipsed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OZZY OSBOURNE &#8211;\u00a0 THE RIPPER<br \/>\u201cThis has always been one of my favorite Judas Priest songs\u2026. I just want to know what the fuck that note is that Rob Halford hits in the beginning of the song. Fucking hell!! That note is probably just below what only dogs can hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ALICE COOPER &#8211; LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT<br \/>\u201cFor a metal band, Priest has always used tons of melody&#8230; when you have a singer as great as Rob Halford, you have to write great riffs WITH great melodies, you can\u2019t just have riffs. Living After Midnight is the perfect example\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SLASH &#8211; SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE<br \/>\u201cJudas Priest have put out their fair share of great albums to be sure. But my all time favourite is Screaming For Vengeance. It was and still is, one of the best metal records ever produced and the title track is in my humble opinion, still ahead of its time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>COREY TAYLOR, SLIPNOT &#8211; YOU\u2019VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING<br \/>\u201cJudas Priest: the blueprint for the ultimate heavy metal band\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chosen Few tracklisting is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1) Diamonds And Rust (1977) &#8211; chosen by Joe Elliott (Def Leppard)<br \/>2) Dissident Aggressor (1977) &#8211; chosen by Steve Vai<br \/>3) Exciter (1978) &#8211; chosen by Accept<br \/>4) Beyond The Realms Of Death (1978) &#8211; chosen by Lars Ulrich (Metallica)<br \/>5) Delivering The Goods (1979) &#8211; chosen by Kerry King (Slayer)<br \/>6) The Green Manalishi (with the Two-Pronged Crown) (1979) &#8211; chosen by David Coverdale (Whitesnake) &amp; Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) <br \/>7) The Ripper (1979) &#8211; chosen by Ozzy Osbourne<br \/>8) Victim Of Changes (1979) &#8211; chosen by James Hetfield (Metalliica)<br \/>9) Breaking The Law (1980) &#8211; chosen by Lemmy (Motorhead)<br \/>10) Rapid Fire (1980) &#8211; chosen by Vinnie Paul (Pantera &amp; Hell Yeah)<br \/>11) Grinder (1980) &#8211; chosen by Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society)<br \/>12) Living After Midnight (1980) &#8211; chosen by Alice Cooper &amp; Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath)<br \/>13) Screaming For Vengeance (1982) &#8211; chosen by Slash (Guns n Roses)<br \/>14) You\u2019ve Got Another Thing Coming (1982) &#8211; chosen by Klaus Meine (Scorpions) &amp; Corey Taylor (Slipknot)<br \/>15) The Sentinel (1984) &#8211; chosen by Chris Jericho<br \/>16) Turbo Lover (1986) &#8211; chosen by Jonathan Davis (Korn)<br \/>17) Painkiller (1990) &#8211; chosen by Joe Satriani<\/p>\n<p>Confirmed North American concert engagements:<br \/>12 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AT&amp;T Center, San Antonio, TX\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>14 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Concrete Street Amphitheater, Corpus Christi, TX\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>15 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Houston, TX\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>16 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Allen Event Center, Dallas, TX\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>18 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ava Amphitheater, Tucson, AZ\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>19 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, San Diego, CA\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>21 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AZ State Fair, Phoenix, AZ\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>22 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0San Manuel Amphitheater, San Bernardino, CA\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>23 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hard Rock, Las Vegas, NV\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>25 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TO BE ADVISED\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>27 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sleep Train Pavilion, Concord, CA\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>29 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0WaMu Theater, Seattle, WA\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>30 October\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rogers Arena, Vancouver, BC\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>1 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Shaw Conference Center, Edmonton, AB\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>2 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, AB\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>4 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Maverik Center, Salt Lake City, UT\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>5 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a01STBANK Center, Denver, CO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>8 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0US Bank Arena, Cincinnati, OH\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>9 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Prairie Capital Convention Center, Springfield, IL\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>10 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Family Arena, St. Louis, MO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>12 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Venue at Horseshoe Casino, Chicago, IL\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>13 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, MI\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>15 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>16 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Armory, Rochester, NY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>18 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <br \/>19 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Cambria County War Memorial, Johnstown, PA<br \/>20 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Paul E.
