Recently, he has been candid about his outlook on his former band, Judas Priests, during his residency. He detailed, “Jesus; I’ll have to go with [JUDAS PRIEST’s 1981 album] ‘Point Of Entry.’ But then again there are some great songs on that one. That’s so, so hard to answer.”According to Blabbermouth, “The U.S. cover of “Point of Entry” differed to that in the rest of the world, this being repeated with the remaster. The U.S. artwork became notorious for its use of printer paper to simulate the line in the middle of the road, and white cardboard boxes on the back.” This new info may strike fans of Judas Preist’s following who adore the album. Hopefully, that’s not the case.
