alf Scheepers has posted this at the Halford Quorum
Hello !
Al I can say is that I wish the Halford camp great success with their new dates !! I see everything from two sides:
1. The HALFORD band kicks major ass live and no one should miss seeing them live !! Robs voice is in a great condition and he still belts it out like he did 20 years ago !!
2. Of course we had big trouble businesswise, we now have tons of losses and a hard time will face the PF camp....BUT: This could also have happened in supporting someone else, so once again: We do not want to blame only one side...this would be totally unfair !
There is always two or even three sides in this business...
We have done this business for more than 20 years now, facing good times and hard times...there is always a way out, even if you go work as a dishwasher to keep the band going !!
Of course it is hard to do business under bad circumstances but:
WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP AND WE WILL COME AGAIN!!

Here's a part of a brandnew Rob Halford interview regarding Primal Fear and the upcoming tour
courtesy of http://www.live4metal.com/robhalford.htm
Rob: "They do and they do it well. I think that in their own right they have their own thing to say and I think that they’re grounded in their own ideas. The fact that a lot of bands inspired one another, they’re influential, is just a reflection of where some people tend to go. Primal Fear are just tremendous, talented musicians in my mind. The Germans have a knack for playing great metal and Primal Fear are bringing in that kind of almost classic metal tone to the show."
