Former Judas Priest Master Guitarist K.K. Downing has started a new band called K.K.’s Priest, has put out new CD’s and is out touring right now!
This is from two months ago.
I don’t know about anybody else but I think this is freakin’ AWESOME!
I got turned on to Judas priest clear back in May or June of 1979 while living in Coos Bay Oregon.
Not exactly the Heavy Metal capitol of the world by any stretch of imagination.
As I recall, the local radio station played Green Manilishi off of Unleashed In The East a couple times over a two day period and I just happened to get lucky enough to hear it twice.
I called them up, got the name of the band and the album and went straight to the local record store and ordered it.
The rest is history.
Many sore necks from Head Banging, a truck load of blown speakers and permanent hearing loss since that day.
I have seen Judas Priest in concert at least 10 times.
After K.K. Downing left it was never the same.

Yes, like them boys, I ain’t right.
Curiously enough, literally as I am reading this. I can tell you I’m in the grounds of Tittenhurst Park in Ascot, UK where “British Steel” was recorded.
Funny that.
My daughter’s favorite song growing up was “Breakin’ The Law”, from when she was 3.
Yup. Late 80’s and blasting down the road way too fast in a Fairmont with Hell Bent for Leather blasting just a loud as my cheap ass speakers would go.
Good times, good times…..

Well, Kirk is no Peter Green, but I’ll allow that’s a decent cover.
The Bose in my truck really flex when I crank up “Painkiller” crusin’ down the road.
But now it’s that time of the year to crank up some Type O Negative.
Yassss.

I don’t always listen to Painkiller, but when I do, so do my neighbors.
Also, One Shot At Glory is a B-side gem on that album.
Since Home Depot already has Christmas shit on display, I guess it isn’t too early for this:

The only reason I’m gonna let that slide is because it’s Halford…

I wouldn’t let you slide… Noise.
Everyone’s a critic.
PHththththtbtbtbtbtbt.
Y’all probably don’t like the original Green Manalishi, by Peter Green either. (But yeah, Priest definitely rocked it.)
He quit the band – he shouldn’t use the name “Priest”
he’s not a pimple on Tipton’s ass
