Voivod Opening For Judas Priest In Montreal Video

Canada's pioneering metal band Voivod supported British heavy metal legends Judas Priest last Tuesday (August 12th) at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Fan-filmed video footage of the Voivod performance can be viewed here (clips uploaded by YouTube user "gregdarth").

Voivod made its trimphant return to the stage on June 22 in front of 22,500 fans as part of the Heavy MTL festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The group was joined by original bass player Jean-Yves Theriault ("Blacky") for the first time in 17 years. Dan Mongrain from the Quebec band Martyr, a good friend of the band, played guitar. Songs from the early catalogue were the focus for the Heavy MTL set, including Voivod's cover of the Pink Floyd classic "Astronomy Domine", which closed the show before the band took a bow center stage and shared a group hug.

Is Jason Newstead still their bassist?

Voivod almost isn't the same without Piggy. I bet he's in heaven right now jamming with Bon Scott, Dimebag, Kurt Cobain, Chuck Schuldiner, Cliff Burton, John Bonham and Keith Moon.

Yep, Hendrix too.

I don't think "Jasonic" was ever an official member, and even if he was, Piggy dying pretty much killed any non-reunion version of the band.
