I saw Rob's band, mediocre, low energy and phoning it in. KK has something to prove so he is hungry. I find this interesting. His band is fine.@@lamentate07

    Back in the day "Tim Owens" fronted a Judas Priest Cover band. Who would have ever thought back then that he would evolve into a great song writer and awesome front man.
    He's lucky enough to work with the original guitar player from Judas Priest. For those of you who don't already know this, It was KK Downing, that had the final say about letting "Glen Tipton" into the band. I'm sure that KK would agree with me when I say that hiring "Glen Tipton" was the greatest career decision he ever made. It's to bad thing went down like they did, however, I love KK's Priest and I'll support "Ripper Owens" for his excellent abilities to create and perform.
    Great interview. It's so cool watching your channel gather all these musical icons. I wish you well, Cassius. peace.. Joe

Of all the dudes who interview metalheads or other musicians, this is the only one who knows how to ask a question properly and pays attention to the answers before forming his next question. Most have a script of questions that are too long and are usually a compilation of false multiple choice questions.

    Tim is a good dude. Got the gig of a lifetime and well deserved, I can only imagine what he was thinking when he joined priest back in the day. I was fortunate enough to see that tour in 98 and holy shit, me and all my friends were massive priest fans, my best friend. Did sound for that show, we were all like Holy shit he sounds better than Halford and this is live! Been a fan ever since. Does anyone really understand how hard it is to sing as good or better than Halford in his prime?? Ripper did it and still does to this day! GOAT

    Tim refers to the bad decision making of Judas Priest. Mostly thanks to Glenn Tipton and Jayne Andrews who stupidly said 'No' to allowing Paramount Pictures to use the song Reckless on the Top Gun soundtrack. At the time, dumb Tipton didn't think a movie with fighter jets and some guy named Tom Cruise would be a hit. However, the rest of the music industry did and many bands and singers were trying hard to get a piece of that action. Reckless would've played over the end credits, it would not have been the main song. And Top Gun's end credit run time is the same run time as Reckless. So the filmmakers really thought Priest would not be so incomprehensibly stupid in the end.
