I'm not gonna post multiple quotes for the sake of space, but I am/was SweetSymptom at the other place.
Was listening to a lot of Fight at the time, and on the 'War of Words' tour, abridged covers of 'Sweet Leaf' and 'Symptom of the Universe' formed a regular part of their setlist. I tended to just choose usernames at random, so that's where it came from. It helped that it was Sabbath related. 

That Fight connection is very cool. I saw them on that tour. What a great gig it was...

Priest had never toured Australia up to that point so was a massive highlight for me to finally see Rob live and hear him sing Priest songs.
Don't recall him performing those Sabbath songs though. Hard to remember the gig in great detail but I do remember that Rob sounded incredible and that my mate & I hung around drinking way after the band had played and the two guitar players Brian Tilse and Russ Parish(aka Satchel from Steel Panther) ended up they came out and joined us drinking JD's and Sambuca shots. I also remember them making fun of Rob that he was too old too party and he preferred to go straight back to his hotel after shows. I still have a Fight pick that one of them gave me.

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing.

By the 1994 legs of the tour, they'd dropped the Sabbath tracks and started playing a couple more Priest tracks instead. I had a bootleg from the Australian tour, I forgot which show it was though. No idea where the cassette is, actually.

The first time Priest toured here would have been for Demolition, right?

Yep that's right, I went to that gig also....Was a great show as well. They played the same venue Fight played seven years earlier - The Palace in StKilda, which is sadly no longer there.

I dug out that Fight pick

Awesome. I'm gonna have to dig out that bootleg and see which show it was for.
Edit: it was Melbourne.

Also, welcome, Freeyyaa!

Hello, I'm Zzzptm, I'm back among the living.

I was involved in a major IT outage... all I want to say about it at this time is that every bit of security helps. Don't be complacent, but also don't give up the fight.

Oh...welcome back!

So this is your new "Outer Heaven" huh?

I was at another forum once, but things got ugly. I grew older now stopped caring over trivial matters that happen in internet forums. I'm under the impression things got ugly at the other forum as well. I have no problems there, but I can understand the frustration. I would like to read the details but I don't have access to it. That's okay, I don't want to end up moderating again after the first debacle I had with another forum I was put charge of.

In short, I was invited by Turch (Bogblast) around March 20th, after long inactivity over there so I figured of migrating over here as well. I'm probably not going be as active as I was years ago due to interest, but I like to idea of having more board options.

Rock on my brothers and sisters. 

PS There should be a Tony Iommi emoticon here since you got Jimi Hendrix one here. I think there is one you can get from the Official Iommi Board.

8 Bit! Wasssup?

We do have an Iommi GIF, but I'll be up for an emoticon.

8bit! Wasssup?

Not much man, just been working a lot at "The Factory" AKA Grocery Store, helping out watching my now six year old nephew. He's gotten into Slayer, but not heavily...yet. Gotta go in moderation, pun not intended.

Awesome to hear from you again 8Bit!! Been a while I think!

Welcome to out little play ground! And yes some of us got banned from the other place basically for no reason so now we are having our non sensible ravings here and frankly we are enjoying ourselves quite a bit.

[BOGBLAST]

Welcome 8-bit, good to see you. Yeah it got pretty ugly over there but I still post occasionally, sometimes keeping the fight going. Hope to see you often. 

[Vyn]

Welcome aboard 8-bit!

Welcome 8-bit, VERY nice to see you.
