This is one of the best and most original guitarists I've ever heard, his band is great!

[@robertprady885]

Priest is my number 1 band and Faulkner has done the band justice. But I still miss KK

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Awesome guitarist and a Schenker fan, which is good in my books.

[@Crunch104]

Take the ring off Falcon! lol. Thanks for keeping Priest alive!

[@fast98dodge]

It would be nice to see a floyd rose equipped Explorer and V offered in the Gibson USA line.

[@chicagoproper]

Faulkner rules!

[@RickMcCargar]

All these cover bands need to stop pretending they are the named band. Not a fan of this trend. At the end, Lynyrd Skynyrd had one original member. I love the music, but they're cover bands...

[@gkol69]

Rob Halford and Ian Hill are original members and Scott Travis has played before with them. They're not a cover band because they changed guitar players (one out of necessity, Glenn Tipton has parkinsons and still plays but on occasion).

[@MrZimpauttaja]

@@gkol69 And they say Tipton is still active on the composing side. Parkinson's prevent his hands to play the most demanding parts - but his brain still works - and can compose riffs and stuff.
So this is still pretty much Judas Priest the band, not a "cover".

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Totally agree with you on the Skynyrd thought. Priest? No. Nothing like Skynyrd.
