I think Richie would prefer to share the stage with KK Downing rather than with Andy Sneap. Which is logical, because Andy is only the producer and never was a part of Judas Priest family. So, that's sad to see the band not accepting KK Downing anymore in the clan. And would like to see the Ripper-era albums back in sale.RICHIE FAULKNER Praises TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS-Era JUDAS PRIEST Albums: 'I Think They're Great'
In a new interview with Poland's Eska Rock, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner was asked for his opinion on the two Tim "Ripper" Owens-era PRIEST albums — 1997's "Jugulator" and 2001's "Demolition" — which were recorded more than a decade before he joined the band. He responded (as...
Richie: ''"I dig those records. Like all records, there are some tracks that you like more than others, as you go through those two records. But I could see, as a fan, I could understand what they were doing at that time. There's some great tracks on there — 'Hell Is Home', 'Machine Man'. There's some great songs on there, 'Cathedral Spires' is a fan favorite. So, yeah, I dig 'em. They're different — even down to the logo; the logo was different. I think they knew they were doing something different.''
I would have liked to have seen it too but KK only has himself to blame.
Yep. Well, not only, but in large part. I've read his book a couple of times, coupled with Confess a couple of years later and followed the band for 20 years. It turned into a bad marriage, but K.K. burned down the house, walked away and was suprised to find that it hadn't rebuilt itself and made no good-faith effort to begin to himself either. He wants back in the band, but you typically don't open the door for an aggressive person throwing a fit, pounding and demanding to be let in.
Yes, I know. But, they should take him back. Forgiveness heals resentment and allows people to move forward more serenely on the path of life. Rob, Ian, Glenn and Scott are holding grudges and shouldn't be, given all the messages of peace they emit in their songs and interviews.
Completely disagree, although I would have loved for K.K. to shred it up with Richie.
Often Rob will let the audience sing a good chunk of Breaking the Law. I saw one video where he let the audience sing the whole thing. If I have to hear that song again I would rather hear Rob sing it than the audience
That was the redeemer tour and I hated it. I’m paying you to sing the song not the drunk asshole next to me. That better not happen this tourYea, I’ve seen priest play Breaking the Law a few times but have never heard Halford sing it.
Their highest charting album ever! Congrats. It was expected, since it is a continuation (intentionally, although this is their style) of the previous album in every way.
