      Two different bands, according to KK. Things like this will always draw comparisons. Former members doing what they love to do and that is play music. He's an artist and loves to create music. If it sounds like Priest well that's because he wrote alot of music with Glenn Tipton. They were a team. So I give this band the respect they deserve

      Tim "ripper" Owens is as much part of priest as halford is... It's almost NEVER
      That the crowd responds with as much enthusiasm as if it was halford.
      Priest is literally my favorite band besides Megadeth even inspiring me to be the artist I am today. Also there is no comparison or contest, what priest did to kk was dirty and kk took what magic they had with him....Its obvious, firepower is a good album but is it great? F*** no it kills and pains me to think about how stay up and did that to him I listen to 2 hour radio interview with KK and he was shocked because it was sudden and without warning he thought that he could trust them and that they were his brothers his family and he's pretty much destroyed over it honestly it was shifty and just downright messed up I mean come on it's KK downing priest would never even be close to what they became if it wasn't for him and his talent but you can also listen to the live recordings of priest even on the sentinel back in the 80s and for some reason you can barely hear KK's lead in that it's all Glenn Tipton who am I honest opinion is a stuck up posh bastard and I'm not even British but I'm still saying posh and I would definitely smoke him like a fag when it comes to guitar even back in his prime
      Judas Priest is not really even the members of the band it's quite honestly a gift from God that no matter who is in the band even if every single member was replaced the music under that name with that particular feeling in vibe would will carry on until the end of time as long as the members believed in what they were playing and gave 100% to the music like KK Downing has. Karma's a b**** as well look what happened soon as they got rid of KK Glenn Tipton has had to give up playing all together live get a gun for hire to replace him KK downing is got the same magic wow that entire newer priest album can't even come close I'm sorry but the proof is in the pudding and you're wrong....... 🍮 Puddin

    I have been a Jesus Priest fan since 1978. When we had Priest and Halford I was very happy because there were two bands sounding like the mighty Priest (actually Halford sounded more like Priest than Judas Priest itself); now I’m happy because we have, again, two bands with the Priest sound!

      I had the misfortune of seeing Fight at the LA 2. Halford went from headline 2 dates at Hammersmith Odeon 6000 people (me twice) to playing to a largely empty LA2 Capacity 600. I never forgave him for that but Halford did get better. Fight war of words was Pantera, the second album was grunge, then the first solo album was industrial. 10 years after Painkiller was retribution I think, Halford was not the same singer at that point. 2 dates at Hammersmith on that tour. I only went once. So no he did not sound like Priest for a lot of that time, only the later period when he was desperate to get back into Priest. Now here we are 20 years later still loving the same band. It is odd how the roles have switched. I am sure Halford and the KK clone can come up with a good album but the lack of Tipton is really going to harm that sound. For me Priest was always KK and Tipton.

    In case anyone was wondering why Les Binks couldn't be with us for this album....
    "Conversely, KK’s Priest is alive and vital. They have plans to tour later this year with some Ripper-era Priest songs tossed into the mix, and Binks hopes to make appearances at shows. “Les was able to do the short set at the Steel Mill,” says Downing. “But he had a wrist injury after that and wasn’t able to do the album. Les wants to jump on the stage and a play a couple of songs, although he is not going to be able to play a full set. He will be our special guest.”
    Let's hope he recovers from his injury and makes those guest appearances!
