KK'S PRIEST, which pays homage to Downing's past, will play select shows to mark the 50th anniversary of PRIEST and Downing's career as a founding member. KK'S PRIEST's setlist will consist of PRIEST classics and new songs.
Owens joined PRIEST in 1996 and recorded two studio albums with the band — 1997's "Jugulator" and 2001's "Demolition" — before PRIEST reunited with Rob Halford in 2003.
Downing left PRIEST in 2011 amid claims of band conflict, shoddy management and declining quality of performance. He was replaced by Richie Faulkner, nearly three decades his junior.
In 2019, Downing said that he reached out to JUDAS PRIEST about taking part in the band's upcoming 50th-anniversary tour but that their response was that they were not interested in including him in the celebrations.
In 2018, Downing revealed that he sent two resignation letters to his bandmates when he decided to quit JUDAS PRIEST. The first was described as "a graceful exit note, implying a smooth retirement from music," while the second was "angrier, laying out all of his frustrations with specific parties."
Downing later said that he believed the second letter was "a key reason" he wasn't invited to rejoin PRIEST after Glenn Tipton's decision to retire from touring.
Downing, Owens and Binks performed a full-length set of PRIEST classics with MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson in November 2019 in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. Joining them on second guitar was Mills of HOSTILE, the British metal band whose two albums, "Eve Of Destruction" and "The New World Disorder", were both produced by Downing.
Binks played drums on PRIEST's "Stained Class", "Hell Bent For Leather" (released as "Killing Machine" in the United Kingdom) and "Unleashed In The East" albums.

Начало-то кринжовое совсем. Но потом бодрячком, хоть и сраный мажорный металл, который я ненавижу. А как Оуэнс петь научился. Кросафчег. Больше не придётся замедлять старые пристовские вещи в 2 раза.
не понимаю всеобщего восторга. Если все, что Даунинг за 10 лет смог родить - это копию песни Nostradamus с посредственным вокалом, то это очень грустно. Если гитарная часть еще сносная, то вокал это пипец. Оуэнсу даже до сиплого Хэлфорда как до Луны (хотя Роб в последнее время подлечил голос)
Не знаю, откуда КК достал эту песню...но вышло сносно. Два слабых места, на мой взгляд: гитарный звук и вокал. Хорошо, что нет пенопластовых барабанов а-ля "crowney-rock"
И чего белобрысая девочка скулила в интернетах последние несколько лет ? Получилось вполне коммерчески . Такое многие купят и на такое многие пойдут на концерт . Тут может повторится феномен Металлики . Когда от туда уволили одного гитариста и была одна хорошая группа а стало две хороших . Есть только один нюанс - Риппер ни где не задерживается дольше чем на два альбома.
Original KK'S PRIEST drummer Les Binks (ex-JUDAS PRIEST), unfortunately, sustained a wrist injury, but will make special guest live appearances when the band tours.
Неужели кто-то ожидал чего-то такого сногсшибательного. В таком возрасте, Муза не так часто посещает музыкантов. Не ах, но и не ох. Слушать можно, восхищаться - нет.

Песня очень даже норм, можно сказать, что и на заебись тянет.
В смысле, этой пародии со Снипом
