An album is like a child and after a while I was ready to give birth!

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

It'll be basically a live album, but it will also include songs, Judas Priest songs, the audience have never heard before, because we felt we wanted to give the kids something else, something they haven't already bought.

Kids just want to have one song. They don't care about a body of work; they don't even care about a whole album - they just want whatever's hot right now. They download that song, and that's it.

I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.

We've been working on a new album, which is going to come out next spring, which is very different, a change of style for us - it's going to be almost like rock music.

It's easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.

Obviously with every new album we make, we always have to believe in it and feel we've gone in the right direction.

I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.
