treeduck Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Did anyone suggest "Stained Ass" for the name of the band yet? Because it's obvious something is staining KK's ass with what he's trying to do here.Are you confident that Downing can write good riffs and songs?Since it has become very common to pre-release a song or two, I think we will find out soon.Aye and it better be good!If not, Downing is definitely drowning and he will never be seen again.I just can't stop shaking my head about choosing that lame name. I'm surprised Les Binks didn't say some something or Ripper Owens. I can't imagine them saying "Yeah KK that's a f***ing good name! Just wait till Halford and Hill see this shit!"

The perennial tribute singer Tim Owens isn't going to object to the name. He makes his money off the hard work of others. No way he's missing this opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what his songwriting skills are like without Rob and Glen. Priest proved on their last two albums that they can get by just fine without KK. I'm not convinced KK is going to do anything that will blow our minds like Firepower did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what his songwriting skills are like without Rob and Glen. Priest proved on their last two albums that they can get by just fine without KK. I'm not convinced KK is going to do anything that will blow our minds like Firepower did.He's only ever made guest appearances on other people's albums, either guitar solos (like with Queensryche) or additional guitars (King Diamond). He's never written a song outside of Priest as far as I know. If you look at the credits for the first five Priest albums it's clear that Downing is the lesser of the Tipton, Downing, Halford song-writing triumvirate. He contributes the least of the three and unlike Tipton never wrote a song on his own. For example Tipton wrote The Ripper, Delivering the Goods and White Heat, Red Hot on his own just to name a few. Still if you sifted through all KK's Priest contributions and put them all together he would surely have enough material for several albums, so knowing that you'd think that he'd be able to produce one album of good material, especially after 10 years rest. It would help if he had a singer who was a really good song-writer, which brings us to Owens... Owens has always been in other people's bands, Priest, Iced Earth, Yngwie etc and he never wrote any of the songs. I'm not sure about all the millions of side projects but here's one with a very solid line-up from last year and he co-wrote the whole album, lyrics, music etc. The other members of the band are Chris Caffery, Steve DiGiorgio and Mark Zonder. http://en.wikipedia...._of_Fire_(album) Here's a song that Owens wrote on his own: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjnXCwuP2cs Edited February 19, 2020 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Ripper is fantastic. His work with Iced Earth is some of my favourite metal vocals ever. Love this news! I have never heard the Priest albums that he was a part of, and never knew he was in Iced Earth! He was better served in Iced Earth. I don't hate his Priest albums, they are worth a listen.

grep Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I always figured that Tipton was the more technical of the 2 players - based on his solos, but KK had more feel - also based on his solos. As a guitarist KK held his own just fine with Glenn. Just watch Live Aid or any other vid. He's right there. Songwriting...maybe he doesn't have the ideas, maybe the band squashed his ideas. Who knows? But KK can PLAY. There's no doubt about that. I'm looking forward to the new material. Even if the band name is cringey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Ripper held his own as Rob's replacement. Guy has a hell of a voice. Halford's shoes were hard to fill though, image wise. Fan expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 The latest news is this: Tim "Ripper" Owens says that he is "looking forward to finishing" the "killer" debut album from KK'S PRIEST, his new collaboration with founding JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing and ex-PRIEST drummer Les Binks. The band, which will pay homage to Downing's past, is rounded out by guitarist A.J. Mills (HOSTILE) and bassist Tony Newton (VOODOO SIX). When the formation of KK'S PRIEST was first announced on Tueday (February 18), Owens took to his Facebook to write: "I'm really excited about this, and the demand for it was simply amazing! It sure will be nice to make the real fans of hard rock and heavy metal music and the real JUDAS PRIEST fans happy! This is gonna rock." As for the upcoming LP, Owens said: "I'm looking forward to finishing this killer new CD." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
