Prepare to travel back in time and embrace the dayglo technicolor of the 1980’s, a time when Miami Vice impacted fashion, the PMRC became the best promoters of heavy metal in the world, and JUDAS PRIEST achieved mainstream success and popularity with a shift towards bigger, heavier, more modern metal soundscapes which has become their calling card (with the exception of that one keyboard & synth laden album from ’86 that always seems to draw flak, even from fans).

Get ready to “drop the needle” on some quality 80’s metal loaded with “extra junts” while learning the consensus regarding “slimy gray meat sliders” and fix yourself a “PB&KY sandwich” (to go) before you ride off on the dot matrix “printer paper road out into the sunset” while trying to comprehend why the PMRC co-founder’s husband “talks like Paul Stanley” YET does not wear the gloves of shame.

Prepare to give “old stretch” a workout before reaching the “Love Zone” (which is right next to the “birth hole”) and JOIN US for JUDAS PRIEST VOL. II: The 80’s.
