I was always impressed by fattnes and crunchieness of the old guys's sound!!
Fender Strat and Gibson, always been a perfect combo for perfect tone

Good old rockin' on some classics

Yeah, and it's funny how they're still cool and good guys after all these times

They are legends but they probably don't think about themselves that way! I mean they are like "fatter" version of Priest

Hank stated that thhey might do future full length plays

Yeah, you can tell they're decent guys. I really like their accents too, just like King's.. it's really pleasing to listen to.

I'm amazed at how they still get their tones even though they're playing with different amps. I'd love to know how Denner gets his tone.. it sounds as if he's got a wah engaged but I don't think he has because it would be noticeable when he's riffing ??

I was thinking about that too... maybe he uses some auto-wah effect? You could try and ask him on that youtube channel
