Thomas,
I couldn't agree with you more about Maiden and Priest. I stopped going to see Maiden after the Powerslave tour and really never bought another album after that point, other than "Best of" types.
I can only presume you have seen the movie Rock Star. Did you enjoy it? Halford was indeed Priest, one and the same. Having never been at a Priest concert anywhere but in the first four rows, his revelation was a tad disturbing (surprising), but I could have cared less about his orientation and wish he had stayed with the band. Again, another band I live in the past with.
AC/DC remains solid in my opinion. Granted it's some 20+ years since Back in Black, but they are hanging in there with some decent tunes from Razor's edge. I think I could to some degree accept an argument that they are more rock than metal, but that may well only be because metal seems to have sped up and they remained the same. Classic metal versus speed metal if you will.
