Was at the Pickering show last night. KK's Priest were good although I would have preferred them playing their own songs and not so many Judas Priest covers. I think they only played 3 originals.

I can't confirm whether WASP were lip syncing during the regular set, but they definitely were for the encore. Wild Child sounded like they put the original album on, it was so obvious. Ended up walking out.

I was at the Montréal show last night, and here are my thoughts:

KK's Priest was very good. They played a lot of Priest songs, and were very solid. Good sound and Ripper was great. I still find it funny that every time they do a solo (guitar or bass) to start off a song (or finish), the other band members all leave. At one point, they all left the stage mid song (while still playing) as KK was soloing.

WASP. Well it was my 2nd time seeing Blackie's group and i must say i was pretty disappointed. The set list would have been great, but it seemed like it was pretty much ALL lipsyncing. Even the instruments seemed pre-recorded. The bassist was clearly not playing the bass line in songs like Real me. I really don't understand how this show can pass as a ''live show''. Really disappointing. I get that Blackie is getting older and his voice might not be what it once was, but at least get a band that can play the music and sound top notch live.

Still glad i went because i like Wasp songs and got to watch the videos on the big screen with friends, but thankfully KK's Priest were friggin solid as an opener.

This is a god damn travesty. Happy for the fans that got to see the real live show. He is full on lip synching here.

I am reading where some people were saying it was due to low ticket sales.

Others are saying it was a legitimate health issue.

Does anyone know the truth? And if you bought the VIP, were you refunded?

I actually wanted to ask on their FB page but I also didn’t want to risk getting banned.
