Rock Band Weekly: Judas Priest's 'British Steel 30th Anniversary'

Clearly, it'd been way too long since we last used our Rob Halford tag here at Joystiq, so it was convenient when Harmonix announced today Judas Priest's "British Steel 30th Anniversary" album as next week's Rock Band DLC. This collection is taken from the 2009 30th anniversary tour when the band played the entirety of its nine-song 1980 thrasher, British Steel, for the first time live.

"Breakin' the Law" live? Sold. Hit the break for all the details.

Huge Judas fan! This will be a day one purchase for me. Thanks for the update Joystiq!

Hell yeah, I'll be picking up Living After Midnight, Breaking the Law, and Grinder right at release. I'll grab the rest when I have the money.

Judas? Since when do people call them Judas? I've seen it shortened to Priest, but never Judas.

About time! This makes up for that month or so of relative meh that had shrowded the RB store, but I think it is to grant attention to RBN. That thing is filling up fast.

Didn't know Judas Priest could be so kid-friendly, especially with songs like "The Rage" & "Breaking The Law"

Still I'm gonna get this pack when I can.

legos aren't just for kids.

you need to grow up.

Obviously he was referring to the fact that songs in Lego Rock Band are supposed to be family-friendly, since it has a lower rating than Rock Band 2.

In other words, songs in Lego Rock Band are supposed to be kid-friendly.

I wish this was the original album and not 30th anniversary but I'll have to get it anyway.

I don't know why, but I hate playing live versions of songs in RB. I think it's because I'm familiar with the studio versions, so I have to relearn the songs but still it never seems right. See: Thin Lizzy's Cowboy Song.

Agreed 100%. I mess up Thin Lizzy's and Iron Maiden's live tracks all the time because I want to play the tempo and notes of the studio versions.

...You realize Rock Band shows you what notes to hit and when.

Not something I'm personally interested in. I don't mind Judas Priest but they're not really my type of music. Here's hoping for something more my style next week :/

Wait so judging by these comments somebody actually gives a shit? Confused.

Heck yeah man. Judas rules my world.

Living after midnight
Rockin till the dawn
Lovin till the morning
Then I'm gone, I'm gone

Yes, there's nothing more manly than wearing skin tight leather, oiling up your chest, and bonding with men. *puts gimp outfit on*

*takes picture*

Hey....wait a minute...you're not wearing a gimp outfit......you....you're.....you're just a big phoney. YOU'RE A PHONEY!!

HEY EVERYONE, THIS GUY IS A BIG PHONEY!!!

Rob Halford's gay, if you didn't know.

Doesn't make their music any less awesome.

GRIIIINDEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!

PRIEEEEEEEEST

All hail the mighty Priest!

Duh duh dah, du da dah, du da dah, duh duh da, du da da, du DA DA....

Breakin' the law, breakin' the law...

Gonna be AWESOME... can't wait!

live versions!? :(

At first I was all \o/
"Judas Priest's British Steel"

Then I was all /o\
"2009 30th anniversary tour"

Meh, overrated album. At least its metal though.

Sad Wings of Destiny would have been better, but I really can't complain.
