treeduck Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 GLENN TIPTON, ROB HALFORD And RICHIE FAULKNER Are Working On Music For Next JUDAS PRIEST Album JUDAS PRIEST members Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner have commenced the official songwriting sessions for the band's follow-up to "Firepower" album. Released in March 2018, "Firepower" was the second LP to feature the 40-year-old Faulkner, who was selected to fill the void left by founding guitarist K.K. Downing following his exit in 2011. Earlier today (Monday, February 3), Faulkner tweeted a photo of the trio from the studio and included the following caption: "Giving birth to new metal babies. #judaspriest writing sessions 2020 with grand master Tipton and the Mg RHRF DOTF #forgingthesteel" Last month, Faulkner said that he had "a ton of ideas" for PRIEST's next disc. He added: "We just have to get together and see what metal magic we can create" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I thought Firepower was good, but not great- but maybe I should listen to it some more. Anybody else have to warm up to it, or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else have to warm up to it, or is it just me? Me! But I totally enjoyed it. It just didn't blow me away like older fans. Maybe because it came out around the time I was listening to the classics for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I wonder when (or if) we'll hear who's playing guitar on it besides Richie. I thought Glenn was ok enough to still record in the studio. He just can't play live anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I enjoyed Firepower but...top five? Eek...not for me but it sure is great! yup top 5 easy. Mick Firepower was a good return to form. IDK if I'd put it in my top 5, but it does rank far above some of the other recent material, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
