TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS: 'When People Say I Can't Sing, They Need To Open Their F***ing Ears'

In a new interview with the "Heavy Metal Mayhem" radio show, former JUDAS PRIEST singer Tim "Ripper" Owens addressed the fact that he is a often a magnet for controversy with some of the things he says or posts on social media. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I think the problem is I use a lot of humor [when I do interviews or post things on social media]. It's funny, you say something 10 years ago or five years ago, and people still talk about it.

"Nobody knows me. They don't really know me politically," Tim continued. "They don't know me personally. They don't know what I do [or] who I am. They just know the Tim 'Ripper' Owens who does these interviews.

"What gets me in trouble is I kind of like to use a lot of humor, so I'm always saying something funny, and the next thing you know it's taken out of context.

"It is what it is. And that's what you have to deal with," Owens added. "You post something — even if it's a positive thing… Listen, I've lost a lot of weight [and I posted something about it on social media]. It's a positive thing, and I'm really healthy and taking care of myself. And then people even knock that. You read headlines… And it was a nice, positive thing. Blabbermouth took it off my Instagram and posted it and said I lost 50 pounds and blah, blah, blah. And it was nice; it wasn't like they took it and made something bad out of it. I don't ever read comments — ever — but this one I thought I would, to see how people can actually make this a bad thing. And, of course, they did. And that's just what they do. And you deal with that."

Tim went on to say that he is "definitely" more careful about what he says publicly nowadays. "I've watched what I've said now for probably the past three or four years," he said. "I still get in trouble; I still say something [that gets people riled up].

"Contrary to popular belief, I'm not a guy that talks [publicly] about politics," Owens clarified. "I used to like posts or say a few things in the past, but I don't talk [publicly] about politics, just because it doesn't matter if you're left or right or middle, whatever you say, the left, the right or the middle is gonna attack you. So it's kind of a silly thing. But whatever you say, that's just the way it is nowadays. People, they like to hate; they're never positive. But with that being said, that's five to 10 percent of the people. I mean, it depends on the headline on social media, because that might be more, but a lot of times, what happens is you happen to gravitate toward the negative stuff that people say about you more than the positive stuff, and I think that's the bad thing.

"When people say to me, 'I don't like you. You suck. You can't sing. You have a bad stage presence,' this and that. But that's not true. That's not true," Tim said. "If you just said, 'I don't like it. I don't like his singing,' okay, I can live with that. That's fine — I can live with that. You don't like me. That's fine. There's a lot of singers I don't like either. But I wouldn't say that, though. The difference is I don't go on somebody's page and go, 'Jesus, look at you.' Or, 'Man, that's a terrible record.' I don't do that. I'm not that stupid. But when people say I can't sing, they need to open their fucking ears, because I can sing just about anything."

Owens recently released a solo EP, "Return To Death Row". The effort was produced by Jamey Jasta (HATEBREED) and Nick Bellmore (JASTA, DEE SNIDER). Players on the EP, which contain Owens's "heaviest songs yet," include Nick Bellmore, Charlie Bellmore (DEE SNIDER, ex-TOXIC HOLOCAUST) on guitar, and Chris Beaudette (JASTA, ENTEIRRO) on bass.

Owens is currently the frontman of KK'S PRIEST, featuring fellow former JUDAS PRIEST member K.K. Downing.

Owens joined PRIEST after being discovered when the band's drummer, Scott Travis, was given a videotape of him performing with the PRIEST cover act BRITISH STEEL. JUDAS PRIEST at the time was seeking a replacement for Rob Halford.

Owens recorded two studio albums with JUDAS PRIEST — 1997's "Jugulator" and 2001's "Demolition" — before the band reunited with Halford in 2003.

"Demolition" and "Jugulator" are included on "50 Heavy Metal Years Of Music", JUDAS PRIEST's 2021 limited-edition box set which contains every official live and studio album to date plus 13 unreleased discs.

Пусть говорят, жалко что ли? Я бы не против, что бы это у Малахова обсудили какие-нить говнари типа Паука и Фредгитвриста. Вот бы потешно было.

for example

gravitgroove, не, ну не надо Сергей Евгеньича вот с этим вот упоминать в одном предложении

Не читал простыню, но по факту, поет он хорошо.

грозакоммунистов

ElectricRetard, поёт он хорошо, но все его сольники достаточно второсортны при отсутствии хоть каких-то хитов, что достаточно обидно.
Видимо таким как он нужны координаторы, которые способны грамотно "приготовить" и подать его талант.

грозакоммунистов, давно это было сейчас уже не вспомню кто это говорил . Короче какой то музыкант не американец приехал в Нэшвил потусить . А Нэшвил у них чуть ли не столица музыки . Там есть бульвар где по обе стороны через каждые 50 метров стоят клубы в которых играют кавер группы. Ну и этот музыкант стал по очереди посещать эти клубы и его поразило какого большого мастерства были там играющие музыканты но все они были местные и неизвестные за пределами города. И тогда он спросил у одного из местных музыкантов ВЫ играете так мастерски почему не записываете альбом ? вы техничнее многих тех кого знает весь мир .И получил ответ - Да мы можем играть чужие хиты и хорошо набили на этом руку но вот сочинить что то достойное своё это удаётся не многим для этого нужен особый талант.

olly71, в этом есть смысл.

Поёт он хорошо. Эдакая полусмесь Шиперса и Хэлфорда. Вот только поёт дерьмо одно в основном.

Про вокал разговора нет....жаль ,что Никогда не будет популярным певцом-он в своей нише и...Хххааа думаю ему это нравится!!!

xRReth

Поёт классно (но фигню). Ему бы менеджера пограмотнее

Mich

В миллионный раз скажу - как же жаль, что он так бездарно просохатил свой Beyond Fear, предпочтя размениваться на кучу всего, куда ни позовут. Был бы к данному моменту вокалистом крепкого узнаваемого коллектива, и имел бы свое собственное творческое лицо

10 фев 2023

грозакоммунистов

Mich, тоже думал над этим, но мне кажется то, что он делает сейчас вполне могло бы быть вторым альбомом BF. По этому шило на мыло.

Gleb Monster

грозакоммунистов, все песни, написанные для второго BF, вошли в сольник 2009.
It Is Me они исполняли на концертах ещё до релиза.
Про остальное достоверной инфы нет, но Комприкс и Хэйс из BF сыграли ещё на нескольких треках.
Увы, тот сольник имел сильно нафталиновый оттенок, поэтому на BF более-менее похожими остались только вышеупомянутая It is me и две песни за авторством Комприкса.
После этого BF был окончательно закрыт и зарыт.
