| Judas Priest's Invincible Shield is the best Judas Priest album since 1984's Defenders Of The Faith. KKS Priest however is mundane and boring in comparison. Too bad KK had to run his mouth bashing the band calling Glenn a drunk snubbing Ian Hill as well then asks management if there is a way to bring him back instead of talking to Rob Glenn and Ian. |

| Many fans complain that what we are seeing live is NOT Judas Priest but a lessee version of it and I suppose it's hard to argue that..But....Rob is NOT using backing tracks and it's all played LIVE so with Glenn still in the band writing studio material to me it's still Judas Priest in the studio but live is a tribute to the band what's wrong with That? Yes Iron Maiden have thier core members together and show it ...but you have to give Judas Priest credit for being relevant without KK and now without Glenn ...only the real true Judas Priest fans will understand this |

| Guys I totally agree Judas Priest touring as a 4 piece and claiming it to be even more powerful. Rob - Glenn if you read this please reconsider because tickets are not going to sell as much because nobody wants to hear the band with one guitarist even if it was a flawless Glenn this band needs a second guitarist please call George Lynch because we know you’ve thought of it. Listen to Pete from Sea Of Tranquility he is pissed lots of fans are GET A SECOND GUITAR PLAYER Geroge Lynch!!! |

| @guido agreed man may Richie have a full recovery. Fuck 2021. KK's Priest was the most cheesy embarrassing low quality song writing album of 2021 BY FAR while Iron Maiden's Senjutsu and Cauldron Born's Legacy Of Atlantean Kings win best albums of 2021 BY FAR. |

Hey guys ... yeah KKs Priest is .... (smh) it just SPANKS of poor quality songs, lyrics and an average vocalist in Owens.... it's like Owens is the RC Cola ... or in the 70s "Shasta Cola" . It's just lame. It'll do if you can't find a real brand soda. Ya know? Not to mention as much as I like Glenn and KK from 96' ...what in the F did they see in Owens,Glenn is more to blame!
The album spanks of garbage it's lyrics are painful and KK has no idea HOW to recycle ideas the proper way because they all do it it's a part of music but if it's done right it works and whatever he thinks is quality it's RC Cola! You can see he has some cool ideas but obviously when he creates it all or mostly himself it's stuck half way in the window with a Shasta! lol
I can see if some don't like the Iron Maiden Senjutsu album because it's not thier old school sound but man I think it's awesome...still don't care for The length of the opening title track but man the whole thing is excellent in my book still think it's 6th in rankings.
I hope Richie gets well soon that was scary and it gives me anxiety thinking about it so get well Mr.Falcon🤘

@guido,vail,spa,head banger,acolyte....Iron Maiden's Senjutsu is absolutely awesome. I've listened to it 5 times in it's entirety and as I've said before in my opinion the first 5 studio albums are unmatchable untouchable masterpieces and starting with Somewhere in Time 86' till now is the band's progressive side ... this album 100% DEFINITELY is their best album since Powerslave!
Track #1 "Senjutsu " is as I said before too long in my opinion although Harris looks at it as an intro sort of...in fact it throws the listener off ... it distracted my first listen of the rest of the album and left me wondering why the length of it that I couldn't soak up the entire rest of the album even though I was listening to it so again, Senjutsu is good though and Nico McBrain his drums on the album the sound and styles reminds me of Piece of Mind.
1. Senjutsu
2. Stratego
3. The Writing On The Wall
4. Lost In A Lost World
5. Days Of Future Past
6. The Time Machine
7. Darkest Hour
8. Death Of The Celts
9. The Parchment
10. Hell On Earth
Every single track on this fffffiiiiing album is quality Iron Maiden and the band's 6th best album but god dam great record ....Definitely take my post think about it and listen to the entire album ...
Some tracks are long but they all work this time very very well,and the chorus on all tracks kick butt memorable this album is a masterpiece for sure .. the only extra repetitive structure in the album could be The Parchment but it gives the listener and guitarists and people who love Iron Maiden's guitarists a killer jam session of solos by all 3 and its awesome so this is not a complaint from me whatsoever... yes this album is fucking awesome ...I like all tracks here but my favorite song on the album is track #4 Lost In A Lost World man what a killer song! 🤘

I listened to the album again and read a few articles about it prior and Harris wanted an intro as an epic track to open the album...ok ...but why the F does it have to be an 8 minute epic track ? 3 minutes would be reasonable...but 8? That's the issue I have...the ONLY fffffiiiiing issue!
Guys this fffffiiiiing album is great it's thier most progressive yet so it's basically Iron Maiden's "Nostrdamous " but FAR BETTER imo .... the opener makes sense at 2 minutes but again, that's my only complaint because the rest of the ENTIRE ALBUM IS EXCELLENT!!..It's not better than Firepower of course not but it would be exactly like Firepower opening up track #1 with "Sea Of Red"....?? I like Sea Of Ted but NOT as an opener...it's about placement so I just don't like the length of the opener but damn what a GREAT album ....
They can't go backwards to early 80s but they are pushing forward with progressive, fine.... but this album would of been flawless if the title opener would of been 2 minutes... so man what a great album just not a smart move by Harris imo .... but this album nonetheless IS thier best album since Powerslave and it's even got it's OWN style away from every other album. |

Ok I have heard the entire new Iron Maiden album Senjutsu and it's unfortunate for me that it's just "ok" and what ruins this album for me is the very first track #1 "Senjutsu " the title track is a slow tempo boring chorus track that could of been ok for a next to last track but an 8 minute opener that's slow and the chorus isn't bad but it isn't spectacular either and its just b side material really...
A track as the opener a skip because it lacks energy and does not match up with any other opener on an Iron Maiden album in fact this is definitely the worst opening song on a Maiden album with exception to the 2 Blaze albums.
The other tracks are mmm ok 👌 for progressive Iron Maiden but imo this doesn't beat Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son or Brave New World. It's a let down because of that first track for me. If they would of just left it off and started it with Stretego it could of saved it ... not sure why they didn't go with a faster track. |

It's actually not that bad it's as heavy as Powerslave and there is something decent about it ... I mean if it were on side 2 of Powerslave right after Back in The Village it would be a better track than
"The Duellists" ...but still even if the entire album is good as I like both songs so far,it still won't be as good as Powerslave lol but hell a decent record all the way through from them at this point would be nice.
I don't expect em to harken as far back as the first 3 albums but it's sometimes tough to see anything great when automatically the bar is set only to be possible thier 6th best album not being able to touch thier first 5 albums to lots of us Maiden fans but somehow you just have to pay closer attention...
I''ve tried this with many albums but the lps only end up half and half ...5 tracks good 5 not good. So yeah if somehow every track is decent then it would HAVE to be thier 6th best album. We'll see in 2 weeks. There are 8 more songs to hear 🤞

| @guido yeah not a bad track from Maiden ... still is NOT as good as Powerslave or albums before Powerslave BUT it's still kinda cool. Perhaps it may turn out good ....it definitely won't be on Firepower's level of excellence...they'd have to equal Powerslave to do that but hey it's decent Maiden. Not sure if I'll like the entire album or not it's a crap shoot but my fingers are crossed. |

We really do hear things in different perspectives like fans of Nostrdamous...I only wish I liked it because of it's epic structure but for unexplained reasons I just can't capture it's offerings.
I've been arguing with a knuckle head online about Guardians/Rising From Ruins off Firepower.. in my opinion it is in the top 10 best Judas Priest songs ever written but this individual HATES it and calls it weak... this new Iron Maiden track (The Writing On The Wall) is actually so close to Guardians/Rising From Ruins musically you can play them at the same time and they sound almost in time with one another...
In my book if Rising From Ruins is that bad and weak then so is every Priest song that's not in the vien of Painkiller. And for the Maiden track it sounds to me like it could of easily been released in 1989 right after Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and just before No Prayer For The Dying 1990. Especially the tone and video if some remember the video for Can I Play With Madness.
I surely will spill the truth if Senjutsu turns out lame but idk I have a funny feeling this album will have something special to offer ... @ guido ...I would skip this album altogether Especially if you don't like the new track because not in a million years it will touch the tip of the first 5 albums. But for me yeah it's the best track since 2 Minutes To Midnight...I've been listening to this track every day for the last week.
September 3rd will give it a listen |

@guido lol ! Well to me there are 2 different versions of the band.... the one from 1980s Iron Maiden to 1984s Powerslave & 1985s Live After Death live album which is the ultimate and obviously the BEST Iron Maiden era that is unmatched on the highest level.
Then there is the second version of the band going into thier progressive style and complex epic structures starting with the1986 Somewhere In Time album to 2021s Senjutsu album which will be the 12th album of progressive Iron Maiden... I haven't liked an Iron Maiden all the way through since the Powerslave album. I like songs here and there but starting with Somewhere in Time there's alwaysv 3 or 4 or 5 songs on each album I don't like.
No explanation why I like this track( The Writing On The Wall ) but this is my favorite track since 2 Minutes To Midnight and the lyrics are kick butt but I also understand why some don't like it because it isn't thier roots by any stretch. Can you see the riders on the storm, can you see them riding - riding next to you ~ a far cry from "we're brothers of the road and we rock" as obviously you are well aware of lol...
I still think KK pushed the album to October because of the Iron Maiden release on September 3rd which would of been 2 weeks after KKs release ha ha |

@spa ... no not AS GOOD as Powerslave but if this album is actually flawless IN MY OPINION for ME it will be Iron Maiden's best album SINCE POWERSLAVE ... the first 5 studio albums up to Powerslave are thier best 5 in whatever order ... this COULD be thier 6th best album for me. I absolutely like The Writing On The Wall but as I said I surely don't expect anyone else to. I like the epic vibes and style to me it blows away everything I've heard since Powerslave... when Bruce sings "Riding next to you" I envision him holding his head phones ... the video is awesome.
Yeah no beating thier first 5 stuidio albums no but if the songs match this new one it'll be quality for me. KKs Priest moved the release date tfrom August to October and I'll bet it's because Iron Maiden's Senjutsu is going to be released September 3rd ,doesn't matter if the album is good or not the popularity of it will bury KK. Judas Priest wouldn't have a problem releasing an album the same damn day

New Kks Priest song released yesterday "Brothers Of The Road" that is so lame ,instead of describing it you just got to listen to it for yourself yes it's THAT BAD. So far Judas Priest with Ritchie has only one song on studio albums I don't care for,track # 9 on Redeemer Of Souls "Metalizer " and Metalizer is even better than this pile... it's not even B - Side quality it's F.
On a completely different note, Iron Maiden has released thier track "The Writing On The Wall " and it's off thier new album called "Senjutsu" which means tactics and strategy in Japanese. I absolutely like this track but I surely don't expect anyone else to because of how half and half Iron Maiden has been for so many years I get that.
But for me I like the track since they are a progressive band no turning back for them ... I liked The Wicker Man off Brave New World in 2000 when it was released great track great opener but only half the album turned out great . And 2005s A Matter Of Life And Death I like 80% of the album but what makes me not listen to it is I hate the first track iff the album "Different World" ...that first track HAS to be good otherwise it RUINS the entire album.
This new track is placed at # 3 on the album so it's not the opener and is a great fit so far ... I have a weird gut feeling ( I COULD BE WRONG) that this album may be flawless which is a huge statement...I could be wishing too hard here BUT if every track is good on this album it would be the best Iron Maiden album since 1984s Powerslave. So my fingers are crossed. The video for The Writing On The Wall is absolutely AWESOME. There are so many hidden things in it about Eddie etc... . So yeah I'm hoping it'll be great for once. |

So here's what KK Drama said today:
K.K. DOWNING Says KK'S PRIEST Is 'A Continuation' Of The 'Wonderful Music' He Made With JUDAS PRIEST
Here is what he said 2 weeks ago:
K.K. Downing has shot down the suggestion that his new band KK'S PRIEST is another version of JUDAS PRIEST. The founding PRIEST guitarist is joined in KK'S PRIEST by ex-JUDAS PRIEST singer Tim "Ripper" Owens, guitarist A.J. Mills (HOSTILE), bassist Tony Newton (VOODOO SIX) and drummer Sean Elg (DEATHRIDERS, CAGE).
"I don't see it that way," Downing told Bryan Reesmanof Billboard about the comparisons between his new band and the legendary British heavy metal outfit. "We're not a new old band or an old new band.
"This is not a version [of JUDAS PRIEST]. That's where the fans are looking at this wrong.
This guy is senile no wonder Rob Glenn and Ian don't want him back.

@spa yeah whats the funniest is that this shit trend band he has he can't make up his mind,one day he says it's NOT his version of Judas Priest then the next day it's a continuation of Judas Priest??? Ha ha 🤣🤣🤣 and Tim Owens yeah he's just NOT the Metal God but he is terrible mimicking Rob (ewwwe how fucking anyoing!!)
..KK'S PRIEST isn't any kind of threat to the real band . Most people who like KKs Priest are trendy idiots who will like just about anything...throw Sebastián Bach in with Toni Iommi and yep the same supporters that buy KKs Priest,are easily amused and are the trendy type of dumb dumb who get "caught up on the moment" and find the album in a cardboard box in the garage 25 years from now thrown in with oil ...
Sermons Of The Sinner is an embarrassing song and an even more embarrassing video.

So I fire back at those idiots and ask them what about tracks like Take These Chains and Rock Hard Ride Free??? And they can not answer. Im sooooo sick and tired of people who know Jack shit about Judas Priest. All these idiots put " yeah man RHRF" yet none of these shit heads even LIKE the fucking song! Firepower may have SOME elements of Painkiller throughout the album but in general NO it sounds NOTHING like Painkiller to me and the album sounds closer to Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith then Painkiller. Fuck these stupid trendy Painkiller ONLY shit fans.

@spa .... I've grown TIRED of people craving for Painkiller styled Judas Priest and I'm talking about the song Painkiller... the rest of the album nobody talks about ...possibly All Guns Blazing and Metal Meltdown but the other 7 tracks nobody mentions
...it's like somehow they think all Judas Priest albums are full every track with the song Painkiller.

@spa guido head banger the video for the title track is so dumb it is borderline embarrassing. These songs sound like a Primal Fear rip off and I hate Primal Fear. What a fucking let down for fuck's sake !
like I said ,when I first saw him announce KK's Priest it was cringe worthy to begin with BUT he had LES BINKS in the band and announced they were working on new material so I thought this MAY be interesting because Les is such a primitive Rock and heavy metal styled drummer and KK ain't going to write Scott Travis styled material with Les on drums so the material might come across like a Hell Bent For Leather style but classic original.
Then POP ....this shit comes out .... no mention of Les not even being in the fucking band at all he just releases Hellfire Thunderbolt and I'm like THAT ain't Les Binks,in fact this material sounds nothing like Les Binks would play .... HOW FUCKING LAME! Can you imagine how many Les Binks fans and old Judas Priest fans were pissed off learning all a sudden he ain't even in the band.
And no way was KK even going to have him play HELLFIRE THUNDERBOLT or any of this crap .... how lame at least KK Could of mention a year ago that Les wouldn't be a part of the album or band ....instead alls the Les Binks fans got was "well Les had an injury so he couldn't do the album "....He should of told the truth and said ..."so I decided to switch styles and go for something he'd never be able to play once his wrist IS HEALED".
And oh.... Les will make a couple appearances and play a couple old Judas Priest songs maybe.
Fucking LAME with a capital L!!!!!!!! |

I call total B.S. that he has a "wrist injury" bull $hit ... KK KNEW what kind of fffffiiiiing material he was going to write far before this supposed wrist injury...AS IF LES COULD REMOTELY PLAY THIS STYLE ....he simply used Binks' name to hype his over produced album. |

And the lyrics are utterly terrible not to mention that melody part in the middle lyrics are a rip off of the B side track left over from Redeemer Of Souls "Never Forget" just listen to it!

Redeemer Of Souls would of been flawless if Metalizer was left off.I do wish you to enjoy KKs new album

@guido we'd almost be puzzled if it wasn't quality Judas Priest how their song writing skills have been with Ritchie. But like every Judas Priest record it'll sound different,somehow they do and the flavor of the new album Glenn Ritchie the lyrics from our Metal God and the album artwork...another one in the mystical being repitorie? I can't wait either.
Trying to equal or top Firepower... man that'll be freaking tough man... the title track Firepower,Necromancer,Children Of The Sun,Guardians/Rising From Ruins,Spectre,No Surrender ...hell all of the tracks are some level of kick ass I even love Sea Of Red ...
I'm sure I posted it before but anyways just to focus on Glenn's solos on the album he obviously plays all easier harmonies with Ritchie on every track.
He plays the short bend 5 seconds at the very end of Lightning Strike (lol) well he does it's unmistakable Tipton ha ha
He plays the first solo on Evil Never Dies/ the second trade off solos on Necromancer
The second solo on Children Of The Sun/ Harmony solo with Ritchie on Guardians
Second solo on Rising From Ruins / second slide solo on Flamethrower/ the first solo on Sea Of Red. |

@guido ... I think certain albums (not all) but some are not taken in all the way because of bad timing... Turbo isn't to my likings no because after Defenders I was starving for more...I think Nostrdamous was released in bad timing because we only got one album from Priest when Rob came back in Angel Of Retribution we were starving for another solid LP .
Had they released another LP in 2007 of pure metal and KK never quit .. then Nostrdamous in 2010 or 2011 would of been more understood but only to me I'm saying. I was dreading too much time between Nostrdamous and the next studio album and it turned out I was right...
listening to Nostrdamous now...is much better guido, no it's not my favorite but it isn't as BAD as I posted here in 2008 - ... and if you think about it... it kinda WAS not a good time for Nostrdamous... Rob had only been back in the band for 3 and a half years when they were working on it.
The world had just rejoiced Rob the Metal God coming back and the success of A.O.R. it just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. As I said the same with Turbo coming off an album titled Defenders Of The Faith and then EXPLAINING to us in 1984 - 1985 that the "FAITH" means defending heavy metal and everything it stands for
...then in 1986 they do an about face 180 and Glam out with purple pink and yellow Turbo outfits and water the songs down on the Turbo album. So I think it's just a matter of timing sometimes that can hurt or help an album. It doesn't make an album better no but sometimes timing of when to release something makes it easier to digest.

@guido ... Les Binks is not in the video and obviously not on the album and has a wrist injury ...I chose to believe otherwise I think when they started writing the album he simply does not have the CHOPS to play this style of drums ...
And he's playing on a couple classic tracks on a few selective shows or what the hell ever I don't think Downing thought this all the way through and later realized Les can't play it ha ha ha dude no way that's Les Binks on drums in the audio. Kk should of gone the opposite direction and went for a 70s style Judas Priest like Stained Class and Hell Bent For Leather style to match Les Binks' stripped down drum style.
But yeah I just don't like Tim Owens but a Stained Class Hell Bent For Leather primitive style would of came out of left field and would of been unexpected and may of made Owens voice more tolerable perhaps idk. Yeah KK is still my hero but to see him waste this on generic print out vending machine produced metal is tough to watch. Judas Priest will release something as strong as Firepower but as we know it'll be different. I just hope we like it because it's not a given they will always release something high quality like they have with Ritchie but I am hopeful.
There's more a chance the new Judas Priest will be quality than KKs crappy scrub mundane boring over produced yawn we just heard. Fucking lame. And I was bitching about Nostrdamous! KKs song makes Nostrdamous seem like Screaming For Vengeance.
I like the crappy production on Redeemer Of Souls because it wasn't intended to be but it made it DIFFERENT and retro it sounds like it could of been released in 1989 a year before Painkiller.
K.K.'s Priest. Lame name,lame singer,lame over produced sound,lame album cover.LAME.

It's worse than Nostrdamous "Hellfire Thunderbolt" is for Jugulator fans yuk. The guitars in Redeemer Of Souls and Firepower sounds like Judas Priest but the ONLY thing that sounds like Downing is the intro with his tremolo bar and that's it. This is Tim Owen's project another lame project. MEHHHHHHH!!!! |

@guido your right he didn't really say anything per say to bash the band after reading it again but just shows how much I've become sick of him. lol. But saying the TRUE PRIEST is within "HIM" makes it sound like Judas Priest with Ritchie along with Rob,,Glenn,Ian,Scott on studio is NOT TRUE Judas Priest but KKs scrub generic over produced band is supposed to be?
Even half the song titles are lame. KK is still a hero of mine from my childhood but in 2021 I just can't stand him. He's also trying too hard to be heavy just like KK AND GLENN did with Jugulator Glenn was more responsible for Jugulator and it was terrible.
At least Redeemer Of Souls and Firepower Don't sound over produced and sound way more retro classic than KKs bland generic dispensary machine produced so called metal.
I'm still nervous with every Priest album... just lucky Redeemer Of Souls and Firepower turned out as good as they did,I even like the low par production of Redeemer Of Souls because it sounds like a mid 80s release and it's not perfect,it's raw. We all have opinions yes but ain't no freaking way KKs album beats Judas Priest's last 2. Nope.

| @vail... yeah I'll give you that blabbermouth IS like the TMZ sure but nonetheless the articles are real.Sorry vail I just can not stand Downing in 2021 I can not stand reading his CONSTANT bashing the band it's fucking ridiculous you don't see Rob and Glenn constantly bashing this fucking drama queen. And yes I heard a snippet of KKs track and it sounds boring generic and grabbing at straws. I also hate Owen's crappy voice. Meh × 1,000,000 |

@guido,Vail,Nupe,acolyte.....I copied this article this part of an interview from K.K.Drama Queen Downing today off Blabbermouth.net (Blabbermouth.net is like the CNN daily news of heavy metal and rock) and I'm officially SICK of K.K.fucking Drama Queen Downing,this is clearly an example of us fans don't NEED to know each other's inside details of what happened because this dude clearly won't shut the F#@% up !
And it's sickening .... this fucking idiot claims the "fans" want a "full on metal PRIEST " as if his shitty band with scrub members "K.K.'s PRIEST" is sooooo much more metal than the current Judas Priest!!..as if the current Judas Priest with Ritchie Redeemer Of Souls and Firepower are not a "full on metal" !! What a fuckin joke!!! Read this shit guys....
Downing said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "With the book, I wanted people to get to know me a little bit better. I wanted to try and answer some of their questions — unanswered questions maybe — and I just thought it would be good for me to leave my recollections and memoirs for future people.
When they see the videos long after I'm gone, and they hear the songs, they might be interested to know how heavy metal began. Because I was definitely there at the very, very beginning, and I feel very proud and honored to have been a part of the whole thing. And I feel very fortunate to have had the success, but even now still, I feel as though that success is still there and I'm still able to write incredible music and to play really, really well.
So I'm really looking forward to everyone experiencing [my new] band [KK'S PRIEST] and giving the fans exactly what the fans want and what the fans deserve, and that is a full-on metal PRIEST. And that's what I am. I was there in the very beginning, and it's unfortunate the way things have turned out. But it's tough to be in a relationship of 40 years or more, but I feel very confident that the true PRIEST is within me."
Back to me J.D.Diamond .... Can you fuckin believe this egotistical winning drama queen cry baby ?? Jesus H.Christ this guy hasn't STFU in years now he's been bashing the band ...K.K. ....STFU!!!

@vail.... Yeah he better be! He's working his hardest ever just to put his signature sound on the new album no matter how minimal it may be... Hell what if he pours out everythingin the tank and shocks us with some killer leads while under his condition, I'll never doubt Glenn ever he is a non stop fighter!

Hey guido,Vail,acoyltte... Just checking in ... Hope all is well
I'll bet Glenn is in the studio frustrated as hell but determined to get his signature
stamp guitar style on the new album no matter how simple it may be in comparison
to early work but it's the passion for metal is what counts and he's got Ritchie shreadding
out his solos to level out the album... I amazes me to say the least what a non stop fighter!

AC/DC has released POWER UP and let me just say OMG guys this record is AC/DC's best album since 1983's Flick Of The Switch album! It really blows away all albums after Flick Of The Switch. All 12 songs reek of mean AC/DC sweat bare knuckles and whisky like the early 80's this is the AC/DC we grew up on |

Hey guido,Vail,acoyltte ... Just checkin in I keep forgetting to log in though I've been reading every month. Yeah not mentioning the chaos out there in the real world lol.
Anyway, I'm stoked that Judas Priest is in the studio working. I have a gut feeling that Glenn will play more solos even simple ones idk why.
And Firepower has been so awesome to listen to I think it's gotten better!! All 14 tracks are just fabulous,it's unreal.
I can only imagine the next album,the album cover art work and a new mystical being repertoire for us to use imagination observing it while listening to the album.
Still not interested in K.K.'s Priest. But hats off to those who will enjoy it. I'm cool with Ritchie and have been as soon as I saw enough footage to get the vibe that he is a true member of Judas Priest.
I grew up with Glenn and K.K. as heroes those guys will always be but for me Ritchie is too because he saved the band and idk what the odds are but managed to fit into the band pretty much like Dio replacing Ozzy filling K.K.'s shoes with his own style. Amazing.

I read the same thing. KK just put this band together a few weeks back and the album is already written. Sonehow this is not a good sign like British Steel written and recorded in 6 weeks.
I think the popularity of 2018's FIREPOWER destoyed KK inside with envy and jealously and will do just about anything now he can for attention.
The funniest is idiot fans comments saying how KKs Priest is more Priest and original members than the current Priest... REALLY? LOL
KK is the only one who is a true Priest member,Les Binks a good rock drummer at 69 years old after 40 years away from the band,he was only in Priest for 16.months!
Scott Travis has been in the band for 31 years now!.Rob,Ian,Scott and Glenn is still IN the band,its a fuckin joke. Ripper and KK fans will like whatever he puts out most likely,never liked Ripper and KK has reached a point for me as just fucking annoyong. |

I see K.K. has formed "K.K.'s Priest" with Owens and Les Binks,Im glad for those who are excited about this,K.K. will always be my guitar hero under Glenn that is and always love what he brought us.
For me I've always hated Owens and Jugulator and Demolition too,just my opinion. But again im glad K.K. is happy again. As far as this new album coming from them ...im sure it will please Jugulator and Demolition fans but in no way shape or form imo can it touch Judas Priest in the studio these days.
Redeemer Of Souls and Firepower are extremly classic records that if were released in 1986 and 1988 instead of Turbo and Ram It Down,they would be worshiped as ultra heavy metal classics and actually would of bridged a streak of top notch albums from British Steel to Painkiller. If you take Jugulator and Demolition and release them in 86 and 88 they would be looked at as worse than Turbo or Ram It Down.
Today's opinions of music is sooooooo picky ... in the 80's you have an obvious lame record,or inbetween or kick ass. These albums all could of been recorded a tiny bit "better" maybe mixed a tiny bit better maybe but in the 80's did we even bring up production?? Not that I can recall,at all. Did anyone gripe about Defenders of The Faith,although one of the best albums I get THAT but its not nearly as heavy as British Steel or Screaming For Vengeance production,sound wise if you really think about it and if released today it would be bashed heavily...but did anyone bitch about it? No.
Yet in today's era Priest releases Firepower and although its gotten more positive reviews than negative its still scoffed at with flaws of some sort,with Glenn playing solos on half the album with harmonies the other and his song writting is all over it. Rob,Glenn,Ian,Scott and Ritchie on studio IS JUDAS PRIEST. It just floors me people have the gull to question Firepower.

You know at this point... Firepower has 14 tracks. Half of them have Glenn's solos.
Evil Never Dies - first solo
Necromancer - 2nd solis trading off and on
Children Of the Sun - 2nd solo
Guardians -both Glenn & Ritchie
Rising from Ruins - 2nd solo
Flamethrower - 2nd solo
Sea of Red - 1st solo
The other 7 tracks have Ritchie's solos which is fine,as Glenn wrote ,helped write
most of them. But will Glenn be ABLE to play 'ANY' solos on the next album?
Will he even be able to lay down a rhythm?
It makes me wonder if a new Judas Priest album should even be made without Glenn?
If Glenn can't play on studio,do we really NEED a new Judas Priest album?
Imo i dont think they should do another album unless Glenn can play MORE on this new
album than Firepower. Otherwise i just can't see the point. |

Obvioulsy he's pissed off Glenn and Rob worse than Rob pissed off Himself and Glenn when Rob quit. I remember K.K. saying Rob would never sing in the band again. So who knows whats all really been said.
It's safe to say that if K.K. wanted back in the band this much then it wasn't a wise decision to make statements about the band that goes mainstream like how Glenn was basically an asshole that drank too much and how K.K. would ask the crew to water his beers down and all other things we've read.
So you'd think if he wanted back in he would of never said those things and just bite his tongue and mend things with Glenn. Idk... |

Happy Thanksgiving guys hope everyone is eating up good today and with family.
I have read the news about K.K. reaching out to Judas Priest about the 50th anniversary of the band's existance and apparently the band meaning first Glenn,then Rob,Ian and Janye Andrews - management responding they have no plans on including him.
Over all - overal all,after everything is into perspective as a fan I agree with guido as I love K.K. even though he's pissed me off saying some things about Glenn and the band even if what he said is 100% TRUE its just stuff he should of never told us fans,it was SELFISH it just is. But I will always love this guy he's one of my heros.
But that being said we dont know anything what's going on so as a fan: I wish he could just tell Glenn,Rob and Ian he is very sorry and I wish those guys could just accept his apologies and welcome him back into the band at this point K.K. surely would take a pay cut so he doesn't disrupt $$$ what's currently being paid in thier system....
It would be killer if Glenn thought this over,because like Paul runs Kiss,Iommi runs Sabbath,Harris runs Maiden,Glenn runs Priest,nothing is approved officially unless Glenn says so.
It would be kick ass because we had Ritchie with Glenn and now unfortunately Glenn's situation, we could have Ritchie with .K.K. even just live and no album would be ok at this point. I guess the relationship is not fixable.

@guido.... Lol yeah if I can put up with my former job I'd be game for pretty much anything,well maybe not.... Had hernia surgery on 5/22 earlier this year. Won't be lifting heavy stuff so pretty much anything else that doesn't require heavy lifting.
I'd die from the pot withdrawals alone ... Actually don't have a vehicle yet here,my car crapped out 5 days before I came down here so it's very hard to make it to the pot shop in Colorado. I'm actually going through withdrawals right now. It's mostly mental but there is a physical side to it too...sweats,hard to sleep at night, anxiety,the whole ball of wax... Yeah needless to say it sucks. Once I get a car I'll be getting my weed when I want it lol. But in the meantime I'm suffering 😭 |

| @guido,.... Yeah man I'm all moved in here, actually we live exactly on the border of Colorado and Nebraska,but technically live in Venango Nebraska... I can walk 5 minutes and across the border to Colorado...Ha! Denver is like just under 2 hr drive from here... Venango Nebraska is very peaceful,it's like Andy Griffith and the town of Maybery or however it was spelled lol Yeah nice trees in the town, every yard cut nice and smooth old houses,rocking chairs on porches and everyone is friendly, everyone knows each other and there is no drama lol. Victoria is cook at the bar and grill in town and I'm just getting used to everything. Not sure yet what I'm gonna do but she's got the bills covered so I can pretty much do anything... Maybe I'll fly out to TN and guido can land me a seasonal job in exchange for a trip to the Rockies lol. |

@acolyte.... yeah man it wasn't this bad the entire time ive been here but as soon as I'd reach a certain wage and on a pattern etc... the company switches management and I got lagged behind... i'd get there again after years of work and bam... another regime. In the almost 30 years I've been there the management has changed 5 times ....this current one being THE WORST. I've got till Wednesday the 28th of this month and I'm outta there!!
To make it worse,the shot peen wheelabrator machine is so old and beat up,it leaks shot underneath the manual peen cabinet up to your knees... holes throughout that leak,this is like from the 70's... P.C.C. is a multi billion dollar corporation that owns 125 companys yet they cant buy a pocket change brand new $800,000 dollar wheelabrator .Sad... especially the fact it would pay for itself after 2 years.
Im so fucking sick of dealing with thier stupid asses I just can't wait to put in my 2 weeks notice... next Tuesday I put it in😁👍🤘🎸 |

the fuck for the last 6 years,actually 2 different owners... its nowhere near as good as it once ran.
These stupid fucking prick supervisors have no knowledge and definitely no balls!!
These idiots wont listen to somebody who's seen a thing or 2 the last 30 years! These fuck heads care NOTHING about anything except thier fucking hot expedite jobs... Im the most productive in shot peen in the company's history and I actually had a GM question some of my production without investigating the wheelabrator first,FUCKING pissed me off boy,but because i was at work I held it together...
Wait in 3 weeks when i put in my 2 weeks notice!!! They are going to SHIT themselves sidewsys!!!!
And then the cock sucker GM will get a rookie fucking jobs up left and right or no production either or...
That way he can MONITOR the new guy . Dumb fucking unorganized unprofessional cock suckers anyways!! I fucking hate this hell hole! My position is not irreplaceable.... but my 30 years experience is and they'll find out soon.

Sure it CAN be scary but what scares me more? The fucking rent.... cheapest i can find is $1400 approx and every year it climbs up $100 bucks or whatever.

@guido.... (not ignoring you Vail or Acolyte) been talking shot peen every blue moon with guido for years ...
Been at my company in September it'll be 30 years ! Well ....Im moving to Colorado September 14th !
Victoria's home land .... her brother Darrell and his wife live in a big 2 story house and both work and make lots of money.... they have a small 2 bedroom one bath on an acre of land behind it... his kids lived there but now have a house of thier own...
He doesnt want to rent to strangers even though he could get a nice rent payment a month extra...
So Victoria is there now...
The rent,water,sewer and garbage combined is get this: $290.00 bucks a month
Then just electricity.... Victoria is working at Ace Hardware right now making all the payments herself...
So im leaving the Aerospace industry and finding something I want to do for the next 13 years till Im 62 elegible for retirement....
Im going to pay our rent 9 months in advance and Victoria will pay the electricity and our phones,my car insurance.... im taking October,November and December off to soak up my new environment...
The feeling of being able to walk away from this hell that is called the Aerospace industry is utterly EUPHORIC! |

Guys Judas Priest at the Showare Center Friday night was spectacular!!!! Necromancer opened and even Out In The Cold felt at ease ... Take These Chains was awsome! Sure its Andy up there,no Glenn as we all knew he's in England writing riffs etc... its not Priest without KK and Glenn? Ok but thier not claiming to be something thier not,its a cellebration of the spirit of Judas Priest in my eyes and ears.
Studio wise its definitely Judas Priest because Glenn is all over the album,and will be on the next album too... but god damn Rob.... he's incredible!! Ritchie is such a fucking monster soloist Id go as far as saying he's long surpased Randy Rhoads to start with and the list goes on... its incredible especially live!
Loved the set list and the place was packed. Just so lucky to still be able to see the band live thanks to Andy! I know Andy can't possibly keep this gig being a producer but he sure is great live hail to Andy!!

Check out blabbermouth.net and post the video I had issues wirh the link ...
Judas Priest ,Rob in Sweden ...
Apparently he was trying to read teleprompter lyrics to Judas Rising while someone
in the front row was filming on thier cell phone using a BLINDING LIGHT at Rob's eyes so he kicked the
cell phone out of the guys hands,phone went flying up then as gravity pulls it down lol You can see the
kick too,perfect kick ...
hey guido he could kick for an NFL team with that leg lol. I'm sure he'll be sued over this and may nor of been the #1 best thing to do but fuckin a man you KNOW the light is on and you know it's blinding his eye sight trying to read lyrics what an idiot that used his light to record especially shinning it in Rob's eyes that was almost just as rude as Rob kicking it out of his hands so maybe next show this person goes to they'll think twice before shinning a light at a live performer.
And all upcoming Priest shows fans will think twice before shinning a light at Rob lol

Excellent set list!! K.K. was on blabbermouth AGAIN taking pop cheap shots at the band AGAIN.
For a year now he has been negatively bashing Rob,Glenn,Ian,Scott Ritchie and even ANDY! I'm so
fucking sick of him saying it's not Priest without him and all the other dumb shit he says. Why the
Fuck would the band want him back after all the mud he's slung?
No way would I want him back
in Judas Priest not now,not after everything he has said. Fans should realize it's him that has kept
himself out of the band first by quitting then by shit talking the band. |

No disrespect to ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard,Charlie Daniel's band,Blackfoot,38 Special or any other southern rock band as I'm not into thier stuff BUT I have heard all and there just isn't any comparison to Molly Hatchet. It would be like trying to put up Twisted Sister and Quiet Riot against Judas Priest.
Hatchet are pure moonshine. |

A sad day in the underground world of the god damn BEST rock band ever MOLLY HATCHET lead vocalist PHIL MCCORMACK had died at the age of 58,speculation a heart attack.
I believe this is the 8th Molly Hatchet member to pass away in thier history if I'm correct.
Phil was the 3rd vocalist for Molly Hatchet and was an excellent song writter. He took over
for Danny Joe Brown in 1996 ... 23 years. Rest in peace Phil Molly Hatchet fans all over the world mourn today.
@vail.... or @guido.... or @acolyte..... since I'm posting from my phone and can't post a YouTube clip could one of you post the title track song "SILENT REIGN OF HEROES" for me in honor of Phi when ever you get a chance? Thanks .... R.I.P. Phil

2 albums to not listen to are 1984 "Deed Is Done" as it is simply not MH but the producers pop attempt
at hair rock. Not thier sound and it's terrible like Turbo but worse. 2010's Justice album is dull material that would fit on b sides. Any other MH albums are superb.
The 5 albums most dont know exists are 1989 - Lightning Strikes Twice, 1996 - Devil's Canyon, 1998 - Silent Reign Of Heroes Kingdom of XII -2000 and Warriors Of The Rainbow Bridge - 2005 excellent .... wish they would release a new album.
Phil McCormick,Bobby Ingrim bunch of
hill billies from Jacksonville drinking whisky eating sweet potato pie lol Yes thier southern rock but they are pretty much rock and roll,and if you like rock and roll Fuckin Molly Hatchet kicks ass.
R.i.P to Danny Joe Brown,Dave Hlubeck,Dwane Rolland,Banner Thomas,Jimmy Farrar,Riff West,Bruce Crump.

@Vail.... ha yeah....I figured you'd be more surprised one of my al time favorite bands is Molly Hatchet! Why haven't you heard me mention them before? Cause nobody here would probly like them,and Boby Ingrim and co. haven't released an album since 2010 the 2010's Justice album I didn' care for. I own 10 Molly Hatchet cds and one double live album.
Still waiting for a new album... and yeah 70's Scorpions kick ass??

@vail.... WOW! I have heard Zep for nearly 40 years and because of how many times I've
heard Zep just out there I've heard too many times I can't listen to them any more. At all. But
make no mistake about it I do love the band etc...
Zep 4 sticks album is FLAWLESS and hands down the best album by the band by FAR lol
Battle Of Evermore is my all time favorite Led Zeppelin track
of all time lol. It's mystical mysterious and visions of Lord of the Rings along with tales of Avalon
this is the only track I can still listen to once a blue moon. All good though Vail we can't all like the
same things.But check out EVERYTHING in the 70's by the Scorpions,it rules 👍🤘

Black Out and Love At First Sting are good, I just like the first 6 Studio albums and
Tokyo Tapes live in Japan double album.
Lonesome Crow,Fly To The Rainbow,In Trance,Virgin Killer,Taken By Force,Tokyo Tapes,Love Drive
Excellent Scorpions |

@ vail.... yes Scorpions kick butt. I used to be a Kiss fan,still am but from 1974 to 2000. Just SICK of them now lol. AC/DC from 1974 to 1983 also kicks butt. Started getting into music when I was a little kid in the late 70's cause my best friend's brother was like 10 years older than us and got us into music.
Heavy Metal is a blood that runs through my viens and is #1 of course. Beatles,Stones,Zeppelin,Kiss...
70's Aerosmith,AC/DC multiple bands I've liked we never mention much because I usually mention heavy metal and other metal genres ....
But my favorite non metal band I have albums of since I was a kid and have them on CD for years is southern rock legends "Molly Hatchet". I was grown up on Molly Hatchet along with Judas Priest and my favorite other bands . Not a fan of Lynard Skynard,38 Special or any other southern rock bands or country artists etc... never had a chance to post Molly Hatchet... with snot and shit disturbers here etc... lol |

Ha ha!! No snot! It's been soooo nice here without that dumb fuck and his stupid retarded side kick wacko cyber wife ha ha ha!
Yeah man Sony Michelle the rooky RB got the games only TD,a real defensive beat down 3-3 late going into the 4th. I haven't seen a defense shut down New England's offense THAT well for THAT long in a playoff game in a long time so A+ for the Ram's defense for sure man.
But the Ram's offense with Jered Goff really got overwhelmed and out coached.It's just amazing what Donte Scarnecchia the old offensive line coach has achieved all this time with so many different offensive lineman to protect Tom Brady,and the players executing thier play on the field. It's something that gets overlooked. And Belichick is a GENIOUS man it's incredible,then Tom... 6 Rings... Josh McDaniels offensive coordinator also excellent working with Brady.

With the dirt K.K. said about Glenn and the band in general I wouldn't let him back in the band.
And I had wished they would of made up by now but it's too late for that now id guess.
Even if everything he said was true,it's obviously he didn't care about the consequences
following what he had said. If he did truly want back in the band it's quite obvious he went
about it the entirely wrong way. Big time. At this point im fine with Ritchie taking over lead guitars.

Whatever the situation was we'll never know but whoever it waswho made
the decision NOT to tour Nostra-bore-us in it's entirety I'd like to hug and
Kiss them because I fuckin HATE that album.
There are 5 albums that shouldn't of been recorded and shoved off on us
fans: TURBO...RAM IT DOWN...JUGULATOR....DEMOLITION...
...NOSTRADAMOUS. They should have Mr.Yuk stickers on them. HA!
Here is some fun:
Here's my "The Worst Of Judas Priest" double album 21 tracks excluding at least
the Jugulator,Demolition and Nostradamous albums:
1.Here Come The Tears
2.Burning Up
3.Before The Dawn
4.Evil Fantasies
5.Don't Go
6.All The Way
7.Troubleshooter
8.Eat Me Alive
9.Turbo Lover
10.Locked In
11.Private Property (2nd worst Priest track ever)
12.Parental Guidance(THE worst Priest song ever)
13.Hot For Love
14.Love Zone
15.Im A Rocker
16.Johnny Be Goode
17.Love You To Death
18.Monsters Of Rock
19.Revolution
20.Lochness
21.Metalizer
These songs I've always hated and think they shouldn't
of even been recorded. I know some like some of these songs
and to each his own but also I know there are other tracks that
come close but I somehow still like every song not mentioned
here and those 3 shit albums I excluded.

@Metalman JP from the blah thread....
I highly disagree with everything you've said. I've never had the impression
Glenn was a "jerk" not to mention I don't believe everything K.K. says.
And not sure how Glenn held the band back supposedly "taking over"?
Had he not the last Judas Priest album would of been 2008's Nostradamous lp.
Downing has BOLDLY made it CLEAR he wanted to PUSH Judas Priest into the
NOSTRADAMOUS direction touring it....and has also said that He wanted Nostradamous
to be the LAST Priest album. Had Glenn not took hold of the wheel this band would be retired long ago.

The album is so GREAT that It's #4th best Priest album imo. It's incredibly superb quality and all 14 tracks are absolutely grand gems. And Flame thrower ? Yeah it's fuckin excellent man I love this track and to top it off it's got Glenn's fabulous slide guitar solo god it's one of my favorite Tipton solos because it's got pure attitude and balls,pure heavy metal like moonshine its so pure and from one of the original creator of the genre.
Necromancer to me tops Night Crawler and Demonizer it's so kick ass and Glenn's solos here is really good considering his Parkinson's. Fuckin Glenn is a non stop fighter he's shown the fans!
Ritchie is simply on fire on this album and his solos are memorable Judas Priest worthy as his riffs. The whole album is just kick fucking ass.
It beats the Defenders of the Faith and Painkiller albums by a hair imo. I'll say Screaming,British Steel and Sad Wings of Destiny are better.
1.SFV. 10.HBFL
2.BS. 11.S.C.
3.SWOD. 12.POE
4.Firepower. 13.R.R.
5.DOTF. 14.Nostradamous
6.Painkiller. 15.R.I.D.
7.ROS. 16.Turbo
8.AOR. 17.Jugulator
9.SAS. 18.Demolition

Well the thing is K.K. says he regrets losing control of the band's decision making. Eddie Trunk interview audio has K.K. speaking about this and he says Glenn was too controlling with the band's decision making etc... and K.K. goes right into the NOSTRADAMOUS era and says how HE WANTED to play the album in it's entirety and wanted to PUSH the album to it's fullest commercial potential.
Well let me just say that sure that may be true but can you imagine if K.K. ended up controlling the band over Glenn? There would be no Redeemer Of Souls,no Firepower,no Ritchie.... just an extended tour,live album after Nostradamous. The next studio album would of been a watered down JP album id imagine with K.K. at that time if there even would of been one.
Could it be that Glenn,Rob and Ian didn't SHARE the enthusiasm to promote Nostradamous in it's entirety so Glenn went behind closed doors to Jayne and said NO WAY on Nostradamous tour and this is why the 30th anniversary of British Steel came about to promote IT INSTEAD?
I believe it was. Yes Glenn,Rob love Nostradamous but at the same time realized that the fans were craving Judas Priest style heavy metal. Remember there were musical differences between K.K. and the band. Rob mentioned afterwards that "The band has much more to say" and how Ian mentioned they wanted to continue on with traditional heavy metal albums "like Angel Of Retribution" etc...
With all the things said from K.K. and how the band is on top of thier game ever since Ritchie Faulkner joined the band I can't fathom HOW there will ever be a scenario where K.K. joins the band unless it's a one song ordeal at a possible Rock And Roll Hall of fame had they be inducted but that's it.
I think K.K. is bitter because of how successful Firepower turned out to be and how much attention Judas Priest are getting with this.

Ok one of the things K.K. Downing keeps complaining about in different articles lately,sure Blabbermouth.net or others will take something he said and post it looking like K.K. keeps doing daily interviews when he may of only done a couple in one day and that was it yet again,it looks like he is posting stuff every other day but HE did say those things.
Now a question for guido,acolyte and Vail due to the fact us 4 seem to be posting consistantly:
You guys have SEEN the band perform live MULTIPLE times and Guido you have multiple audio bootlegs from all over 70s,80s,90,2000s,2010s.... from every decade. Has Glenn Tipton ever sounded "off".... out of rhythm perhaps or sloppy as if he's had too many beers??
K.K. says again that Glenn's drinking was slowing down the band and made K.K. "fucking nervous" to the point that he didn't know if the gig they were playing they were gonna be "ok" or not and how the other guys in the band FELT THE SAME WAY and that he tried talking to Glenn about his "drinking habits" but THAT got him nowhere. All this Glenn's drinking ....and K.K. even said "not that the fans would of noticed but I'm a perfectionist and want everything perfect.
I believe K.K. YES why would he make up something like this ok. But to WHAT extent? If it was that big of an issue don't you think ROB and Ian would of SAID something to the point of taking action?
In other words I think I'm saying K.K. may be exaggerating this beyond it's validity.
I really do. What do you guy's think? |

guido absolutely!!! Ritchie not only does Sinner Justice,he does Judas Priest Justice. We all love K.K. and wish thing turned out better with him and the band.
I know K.K. may not be ringing up Blabbermouth.net and saying something every day,it's Blabbermouth taking bits of things he's said and posting them multiple times but the fact here is HE SAID THEM.
His comments about the band how Glenn drank too much during live songs was a LOW BLOW by K.K. and how he said Ritchie is basically a clone.
Saying he can play Sinner better than Ritchie was UNCALLED for as a fan in my opinion. Yeah K.K. obviously your the one who wrote the guitar solo. What a dis on Ritchie. Saying the band had run it's course. And many other negative bullshit.
It's SAFE to say he'll never play in the band after those kind of negative comments.its just BEST for Judas Priest if K.K. remains a past legend and the band keep on promoting the Firepower album and tour.
The thing that K.K. doesn't realize is that Ritchie is approx. 2 1/2 years away from being in Judas Priest for a decade. Yeah 10 years that's crazy to think and what else he's not realizing is that an OVERWHEALMING amount of fans LOVE Ritchie Faulkner ... who the hell wouldn't like Ritchie besides K.K.?
We have accepted him as a permanent legit member and an elite member of the band.
To me Ritchie is just as important to Judas Priest as Glenn and K.K. are.
Without Ritchie we would of lost Judas Priest in December 2010. |

Well.... these guy's are like brothers that's for sure,family definitely so they can say stuff about each other and then water under the bridge. Who knows ....
K.K. if your reading this by some fluke chance then text Rob or Glenn and just say if you need me I'm here for you guys no questions asked,if not love you guys,let's have a beer when you have time👍
Rob,Glenn, if your reading this by some fluke chance then text K.K. and have a beer with him ,reminisce old times and see where it goes.
All us fans have strongly accepted Ritchie as a legit Judas Priest member and love Andy stepping in too and also at the same time think about how cool it would be to have Rob,Glenn and Ian getting along with K.K. and him playing with Ritchie with Glenn doing encores when possible.
Dreaming about that "what if chemistry" but regardless of what has or hasn't been said who cares right,the point is that it would be cool if everyone got along again and K.K. came back home.
I think K.K. and Ritchie could sound great together definitely with Glenn and his input ideas.
K.K. .... I still love the guys character in the band,had pictures cut out of magazines of Rob,Glenn ,K.K. and Ian all over my bedroom walls when I was a teen (never had Dave Holland's though,never fit in )
So he is still along with Glenn my guitar hero. Ritchie is too,my 3rd guitar hero.
But let's hope by a MIRICLE that somehow Glenn,Rob and Ian talk to K.K. out of friendship to get him back to Judas Priest. |

| Dude, I know right? He even said fans want to hear him play Sinner because he's the originator and how he can play it better than Ritchie etc... how Glenn is too hard to get along with and how he had beers inbetween songs which was a LOW BLOW by K.K.
And how he reads fans comments that say "No K.K.,NO Priest" which out of millions of comments there aren't that many complaining about Firepower now are there K.K.?
Idk but just a guess but I think the band may still be PISSED OFF at him a tad from when he retired right after the Epitaph tour was booked and started to go on sale... left Rob,Glenn Ian and Scott without a second needed guitar player.
Notice K.K. wasn't around,or his comments like this during the Redeemer Of Souls album? Why? Because half the fans were complaining about the production and the mix etc...(although I thought Glenn did a good job)and the album didn't chart nowhere near the top 200 charts .....made him feel like they can't succeed without him.
Now 2018 Firepower comes out with Tom Allom,Andy Sneap with a kick ass production and Rob,Glenn,Ritchie,Ian and Scott ontop of thier game and the songs all of them outstanding,fans an OVERWHELMING amount of fans LOVE IT and it charts #5 the highest charting album ever by Judas Priest.
Plus the tour with Glenn getting so much attention fighting his Parkinson's... I don' think K.K. can handle it,and totally went totally mad?
Idk but after all his comments like this it's highly doubtful that Glenn will let him back in the band. Doesn' take a rocket scientist to figure it out but apparently K.K. has Alzheimer's?

Another comment again today Blabbermouth.net K.K. says he's always found Glenn Tipton difficult to work with blah blah blah blah.... Jesus K.K. I really wish he would just shut the fuck up already his damn it's annoying at this point.
He calls Ritchie his clone basically calls Glenn a drunk and by the way K.K. I've never seen a less than stellar performance from Glenn live or on audio live recordings.
It's like he's bashing everything he can think of to sell his book. I sure as HE'LL do NOT want him in the band after all this horse shit he's said. I think it's disrespectful of the current members flying the flag of the band's legacy,so what if Ian said some shit get over it.
If he truly wanted back in the band why would he be saying so much garbage just to promote a book?

Nothing happens in Judas Priest unless Glenn says so. So if Glenn decides to bring back
K.K. he'll do it,if we never see K.K. we can assure Glenn holds no hard feelings but opted
not to bring him back on board for only reasons Glenn shares with the rest of the band.
