Everybody is aware of that it’s arduous on the market for a touring musician lately. Prices are excessive, logistics are a bitch, and also you’re not even assured to promote out with inflation fucking everybody within the pockets. However in the case of KK’s Priest, vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens thinks the long-lasting heavy metallic band Judas Priest is actively sabotaging their former bandmates’ undertaking on the highway.
That time of rivalry took place throughout a current interview with Sense Music Media (as transcribed by Blabbermouth) wherein Owens was discussing the present state of the touring business whereas selling his solo band’s upcoming tour in Australia. And whereas he spoke rather a lot about among the difficulties that heavy metallic bands face, Owens made an apart to considerably accuse Rob Halford and the gang of purposely reserving reveals close to wherever former Judas Priest guitarist Ok.Ok. Downing‘s band KK’s Priest was enjoying.
“I feel it’s simply saturated with plenty of stuff. I imply, after we toured with KK’s Priest this final time, Iron Maiden was touring on the West Coast after we had been touring, Judas Priest was touring, Megadeth was touring. Judas Priest, I feel they may have made their tour simply to play the subsequent metropolis after we had been there on objective, as a result of we might play Canada, in Toronto, after which the subsequent day they had been enjoying in Niagara Falls, which is true down the road. However that’s how it’s. So I feel it’s actually powerful and it’s costly. So what occurs is everyone spends their 300 {dollars} on an Iron Maiden ticket and 150 or no matter Judas Priest is in America — Maiden’s most likely 100 and one thing and Priest might be 50 or one thing like that in America, I’m guessing — 50 or 60. However that turns into some huge cash. So it turns into costly.”
Ripper’s not incorrect about ticket costs being so rattling costly. It’s been an issue for a very long time, however one thing tells me Judas Priest doesn’t need to observe their former guitarist’s band in every single place simply to sabotage the man. Appears a little bit conspiracy theory-ish if you happen to ask me.
