I was lucky enough to be standing next to Richie's father a few years back at the Bloodstock Festival in the UK. I had no idea who he was at first, but while I was discussing with my friend how brilliant Richie sounded and what a great fit he was for the band, he leaned over and said "that's my boy". Ended up having a great conversation with him. Really nice man and such a proud proud dad. Rightly so.
Saw Priest yesterday in Copenhagen, best concert I've ever been at in my life, and I've been to a fair share of concerts in my life, also wanna mention I saw Metallica 2 weeks ago, my 3rd chance to see them and I those two shows then felt like the best concerts I've ever been to, for Priest to shortly after put up an even better concert feels fantastic. People around me were of all ages, and they all loved Priest's new material as much as the old.
Saw them in copenhagen two days a go, this was the best gig I have been to in my life, I have seen Priest life since 1998 and almost every tour since, and this was the best ever. And the best over all only Behemoth and Gojira comes close to what i saw two days ago.
excellent job on the interview with LOVEBITES!!! and now you need to do a review of the JUDGEMENT DAY ALBUM. great job as always and i will be seeing priest and maiden later this year!!!
You can argue about the best all day. I won’t go there. I will say this is my FAVORITE JP album! It’s a perfect album. PERFECT! Richie has quickly become one of my favorite guitar players. 🤭I still remember people asking me back in the 80’s about what I think these guys would sound like when they got old. “They won’t be able to play anymore!” Nobody ever thought bands like this would never be able to play anymore when they hit their 50’s. If only I knew then what I do now! 🤣
Richie had an aortic aneurysm while he was playing the Painkiller solo live on stage, and he actually pushed through and finished the solo before exiting the stage the absolute madman. It's a miracle that he survived
It's really unfair to see how Richie was treated by the Priest fandom versus how Ripper was. Richie was welcomed into the fold with enthusiasm, even with a total letdown of a record that was Redeemer of Souls (do you even remember a song from that album?) Whereas Priest put out Jugulator with Ripper, an absolute MASTERPIECE of a record that if it was released by any other band, it would be an instant metal classic. It goes to show that metal fans, while hardcore and true to their love for their favorite bands, are really narrow-minded. A breath of hope is the remix and re-release of the Martin-era catalogue of Black Sabbath. I wish Priest do the same with Jugulator and Demolition.
Very good interview. Thank you. I like that you are also the fan and sometimes you have a same question which I would ask as well..Like that DVD record. Honestly, I do not share Rob's opinion that it makes no sense to record concerts nowadays because everything is on youtube. Amateur record from the mobile phone simply can not be compared to official record. And all big Priest fans know that the guys are basically better every tour currently. Even though it seems impossible but it is. Rob is singing way better than he sang on Angel of Retribution tour. Rising in the east was honestly horrible live record and in my opinion it damaged Priest for many years. Even though Rob was not in the greates shape that time, he was really bad at this specific Budokan shows. I had bootlegs from the tour and he was able to sing much better than he did in Japan. Many people after this dvd just said that Rob cant sing anymore and that he is old and slow and has to have a stick etc. In my opinon he was just suffering with his back issues and thats why he sang worse and was slower etc. After his operation he was basically getting better until now. Since I would say Epitaph tour, he sings incredibly well. There was 2 more dvd's much better than Rising in the east. But still, I think there should be record from Firepower tour and definitelly 50 heavy metal years tour but was no..So now its a time in my opinion. They should record some big show like Maiden did with Rock in Rio. They should record show in Chile or country like that where people are wildest and put out incredible energetic dvd to save for generation how mighty metal gods were incredibly in 55 years of their career.

The new album is insanely good. It’s surreal how great they are. Loved seeing them in Huntsville.
Either that or you're dumb abd deaf.
So many bangers on the new album. This band doesn't get old.
Ritchie is the man

The production on the last three albums has been phenomenal!
Great interview. Indeed, I can't stop listening to this album.
same.
Amen!
I would argue that Invincible Shield is the most consistent album that Judas Priest have ever made.
I was REALLY lucky when i went in Copenhagen!! I was in the front row, richie threw me three Picks! And i am on priests Instagram!!🤘
Awesome job brother. Ritchie seems pretty cool 🤘😎🤘🍻 Slava Ukraini from the States
Another great video...I was at the Madrid, June 17th Epic show! 💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥
Priest was so unbelivable f...... good in tampere, defenetly one of the best shows i ever seen, if not the best.
JP playing on Tons of rock in Oslo today. 40000 people there. Rain and thunder and lightning now. Hopefully they played their full set.
it didn't rain, nor did it thunder, nor lightning. Lightning would've stopped the show. It was just windy and at the back, the sound was poor
excellent job on the interview with LOVEBITES!!! and now you need to do a review of the JUDGEMENT DAY ALBUM. great job as always and i will be seeing priest and maiden later this year!!!
I'm here with none other than Ritchie Faulkner.
This is awesome. Richie watches your channel all the time! How cool is that? 🤘
Thank you, Richie. Your Diamonds and Rust take is sublime. First saw you in NJ on your first tour with Priest, you guitar break was so much fun.
🪓🤖🎸 great interview. United we stand 🤘

ICE T needs to cover a Priest song
Awesome, as usual. Slava Ukraini! Is that a surgery scar I can see on Richie's chest? If so that is metal af!!!
There’s a video on here somewhere where he and a hospital talks about it. He apparently had a heart attack at the end of a show!
Richie had an aortic aneurysm while he was playing the Painkiller solo live on stage, and he actually pushed through and finished the solo before exiting the stage the absolute madman. It's a miracle that he survived
@@WatsonDynamite
It was a complete aortic dissection.
@@WatsonDynamite Wow. People don't usually live through those. Jeesh!

The Judas Priest fans of today aren't hardcore. They also listen to the Rolling Stones and have no concept of organic Heavy Metal.
