Ripper is born and raised by me here in Ohio and still lives here, we talk regularly and hes a very humble dude. His time in Priest and Iced Earth is historic..I support him nonstop...check out all of his bands brother
Born and raised in Youngstown area, I'm a metal head since Middle School when I carried around a cassette player rocking to Priest, KISS, AC/DC, Nugent, etc. I'm 59 years old and will make everyone around me ears bleed with my metal cranked. Ripper has been on my radar for decades. Heck, I have that Iron Maiden tribute album that Ripper Owen's has a track on, anyone remember that obscure album?
My sluggish truck wouldn't start the other day. I happened to be playing this song while trying to get it started. All of a sudden the engine roared to life with an evil rumble, a sound I've never heard before. Fire started shooting out the tailpipes as the engine roared, and the instrument cluster lit up like a Christmas tree. The old paint turned instantly black and the wheels turned to blindingly-shiny chrome. The seatbelts automatically locked me in -- without my even touching them, and we (the truck and I) began pulling out of the driveway. Every car and every house within 1000 feet caught fire and I heard windows smashing everywhere, along with car alarms blaring, and children screaming. We slowly made our way out of the neighborhood making sure EVERYONE listened to this song being pumped through heavily-amplified sound system -- that I didn't even know I had !! AMAZING !!! Yes, folks, this was the day my truck ceased being a measly factory Ford and became a .............. ....... HELLFIRE THUNDERBOLT !!!!!
Tim Ripper Owens made two studio and one live album with Judas priest. And he'ss been in many other great bands like Iced Earth Children of the Damned and one yngwie malmsteen record.
@@stephanea5364 KK decided to retire and has not been on best terms with the band. Sneap is doing a great job and Glenn is still involved in the creation process.
@@songsforsale427 Why do you say that . FAULKNER playes all of the solos now. If kk was in the band Rich could play glens parts which he does now anyways !
I'm friend with Sean there are the drummer and last summer when he was in Denmark visiting his girlfriend so I had the opportunity to see him again after last show The Three Tremors had in Denmark in November 2019, so I got the opportunity to hear the whole album as a demo version and it is so damn awesome
Speaking of Judas Priest... Allan Atkins (The founding member, original lead singer 1969-73, wrote such JP classics as "Victim of Changes", "Never Satisfied", "Winter", "Caviar & Meths", "Dreamer/Deceiver", etc... ) has been making great solo albums, and band albums for decades... check out his work with guitarist Paul May, in the Atkins-May Project (AMP) - they have released 4 albums and the 5th is coming soon... @t
The latest 2 JP albums were the best since Painkiller. This new song is sbsolutely promising, though it's quite generic, I'm eager to listen to the whole album, what kind of identity it will have :)
Painkiller 2.0 was Jugulator. KKs Priest picks up where Jugulator left off and continues the Judas Priest style first established on Painkiller. HIGHLY recommend reacting to Cathedral Spires!
Hi, i am a huge Judas Priest fan!! Seen em concert 3 times & was completely blown away at every show. Though i hate that Ken (KK) left Priest i straight up love this song!! But....the Priest is slowly falling apart anyway. I hate to say that.....but truth is truth. Glen....the other guitarist left due to parkinsons disease. Dave Holland the drummer that was with them when i seen em died. Rob & Ian are the only original members left. But the Priest has been around for 52 years now & they have definitely left their mark. Long Live The Priest!!
Always going to be a KK fan, Ripper Owens has done some remarkable achievements. Then to slap the smile off of the remaining Judas Priest members as they tell KK that he's not welcome back then they get the news that Tipton has medical issues and can't continue. So now JP is two original members, one who forsaked his band mates and went on a "solo binge" (Rob Halford) and expected everyone to welcome him back like nothing ever happened? Dammit guys, get your shit together. I hate seeing JP split up but let's make the best of it, KK's Priest has got that original old school metal vibe and energy that makes your ears bleed, hell Phucking yeah! Bleed, just keep bleeding!
Definitely an early 80’s sound.. yeah!!!!. T have you listened to Overkill- Immortalis? Badass album my fav is Skull and bones Judas Priest song you have to do is - The Sentinal
Tim Owens was able to cover King Diamond as well as Dio. In fact, he joined 'Dio Disciples' as vocalist when they went on to perform Dio songs. Nothing but respect for Tim's vocal abilities.
I love this song and preordered the new KK's Priest album. Ken was always my favourite guitarist in Judas Priest, since I love his dive bombs and pinch harmonics. His tone has always been perfect for metal. I'm looking forward to the new album and the upcoming tour.
The only reason why KK is not talked about that much is because he was fortunate and unfortunate to have had that beast on the guitar next to him for most of his career.
If Tasha turned down to listen to Iron Maiden "The Clansman", I imagine KK's Priest has a dangerously number of K's in the name, she would want to kill TNT if he ask her to listen to it together! Great video TNT, it's a pleasure to a Priest fan, to see Tim Ripper back to Priest related stuff.
If you ordered Judas Priest from Wish I liked it, but it doesn't half sound like it's just been pasted together in Pro Tools. I don't feel like I'm listening to a band play a song together, it just feels like the guys in the band went into a rehearsal room and recorded all of their parts in little snippets and cobbled them together. Which, let's be fair, is how most of them do it anyway. The trick is to not make it sound like it has! But hopefully they win me over in future. Also Ripper Owens' vocals don't quite do it for me. It's like he has the sound of Halford but without any of the subtlety or feel. He sings like somebody who never heard Halford sing before but had a pretty good description of it and he tried his best to make sense of it
Hey now. Halford could still hit any Judas Priest vocal note in the 2000's. Well into his 50's. Check out his band Halford. Although, Tim is great too, but you have to give the Metal God his due.
Bro, Rob was on the top of his game in the early 2000's. I'd say he did better in his band ''Halford'' then he ever did in JP. Go listen to the ''Halford Live Insurrection'' album, it's on here. He makes his younger self sound tame in comparison. I get that Halford is losing steam nowadays, but that is what age does to people.
In my honest opinion I still do think its a huge shame KK was not allowed to join guys once again. We all get old and my heart would be extremely happy if KK took part in recording new JP album and played at JP concerts
I’m a lifelong Priest fan and Rob Halford is number one - no question. But you have to check out Ripper’s vocals with Judas Priest on Diamonds and Rust, the Live Meltdown album version. Probably one of the best live vocal performances I have ever heard. Check out the link: ruclips.net/video/qiXySv4MUJc/видео.html
You may enjoy some of Tims songs in Priest. He did two albums. Jugulator (being the next album after Painkiller) and Demolition. I would pick "Jugulator" and "Burn in Hell" from the Jugulator album to react to
Best stuff from Judas Priest since Angel Of Retribution for me, will prob buy this if the rest is just as good! Id wish he'd just called the band "The Priest" sounds better that way. This is the kinda stuff i like, more painkiller style. No diss to Halford (one of my favs) JP's dvd from the 80's is like one of my favs of all time and his singing is fantastic but he isn't in top form anymore (has alot to do with age but also more so with technique). Anyway killer song! loved it.
Sounds like the powerfull 80's priest, good for all of us There are a lot of ripper's haters ....but ripper did an excelent job in jp He is an excelent singer.... Can you try please some songs from the ripper's era with jp please? Maybe hell is Home,in between,jugulator...thanks
You have to go hear Rippers work with Judas Priest... He sang for them.. Also watch the Movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg, the Director or someone associated with the movie was inspired by Priest/Ripper story and put that movie out.... You'll see why
Great sound, great voice, great guitar work. But there is a problem: the main riff is the same as the main riff of "Nostradamus"; was it really necessary?
How about kks priest brothers of the road or raise your fist those songs are out ohvyes and sermons of the sinner those three kks priest songs recently released
Nice to finally hear new music from Ken, just a shame it wasn't with Ritchie and the other Priest guys...but this is still worthy. T you need to hear new Flotsam song "Burn The Sky" ....song of the year for me , so far.
awesome review! Hey T.. Wanna review a tune that'll loosen yer molars? The Haunted - Preachers of Death... dare ya to check this one out. Be one of the few to review it! Peace brother \,,/\,,/

Nice story, tell it to Readers Digest.
Tim Ripper Owens made two studio and one live album with Judas priest. And he'ss been in many other great bands like Iced Earth Children of the Damned and one yngwie malmsteen record.
The three tremors. Thank me later
He has done two with Yngwie
Also did an album with Tourniquet
Did you hear a fan’s piano arrangement of Hellfire Thunderbolt that Ripper Owens recently shared? Gives me chills 🤘🏻
KK and Glenn Tipton were the guitar engine that fueled the Priest Metal God Machine!!!! KK is amazing.
By the way, I had no idea that KK made this band until now.. Hope to hear more.
@@SailorJohnPresents they have their debut album out on August 20th its called sermons of the sinner
The fact that K.K is not playing next to Ritchie Faulkner right now is an absolute crime on our Ear Drums.
So true.
@@stephanea5364 KK decided to retire and has not been on best terms with the band. Sneap is doing a great job and Glenn is still involved in the creation process.
@@hugolafhugolaf Yeah, sure, it's better to have Sneap than one of the founders of the band...
That couldn't happen. They'd both be playing the same parts. KK left.
Love the guy but HE walked.
@@songsforsale427 Why do you say that . FAULKNER playes all of the solos now. If kk was in the band Rich could play glens parts which he does now anyways !
I think that we all should be grateful that these guys have some surprises left in them for us to enjoy. Cherish them all!
The mighty Ripper shared this on Facebook, lucky you!
Imagine, KK is going to be 70 in October and he's still shredding that fast....bloody crazy.
K.K. Downing will be 70 in October and he's still Shredding! Ripper is always great.

Definitely a power hit! I love it! Just what us old school rockers want to hear!
You should definitely check out some Ripper era Priest. Bullet Train, Burn in Hell, Cathedral Spires are great!
Check out ripper on "crank it up from 9 to 11" by BrutalityinBuddha
Don't forget about his performance if painkiller and the ripper... He did sing these great live
Watch Diamonds and Rust with Ripper while he was with Priest in London. You'll thank me.
The Jugulator title track rips!
Thanks...from Brazil!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Having KK's Priest and Judas Priest tour together would be a megatour in itself.
That would be awesome. I hope they bury the hatchet.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT I hope so too.

It's a really good return from KK...better than anything Priest have done since Painkiller era for me.
kind of the same for me,. but i did enjoy "firepower"
@@xxraddrummerxx I like Firepower more. Both are very good albums but edge to Firepower imo.
Jugulator was pretty underrated too
Can’t wait for the release, has lot of potential.
The latest 2 JP albums were the best since Painkiller. This new song is sbsolutely promising, though it's quite generic, I'm eager to listen to the whole album, what kind of identity it will have :)
Ripper is a super nice guy. I've spoken to him a few times. As a singer, he's among the best!
Just to have music from KK is so amazing. Man this is so GOOD! Cant wait to hear more.
Sermons of the sinner is the greatest heavy metal album I've heard in the last 20 years

KK Downing the beast of Metal guitars
Tim was the singer of Judas Priest when Rob Halford left. Now there are 3 ex members of Judas Priest in kk priest
2. Les Binks had a wrist injury and couldn't play on the album. He was replaced by Sean Elg.

Oh and BTW, Halford NEVER used falsetto.
Such a good taste you have Man!!The KKS Priest they're next level un the Big story of Judas Priest!!!
Definitely an early 80’s sound.. yeah!!!!.
T have you listened to Overkill- Immortalis? Badass album my fav is Skull and bones
Judas Priest song you have to do is - The Sentinal
When I clicked this video, it was up for 6 hours and had 666 views. 🤘🏻
Tim Owens was able to cover King Diamond as well as Dio. In fact, he joined 'Dio Disciples' as vocalist when they went on to perform Dio songs. Nothing but respect for Tim's vocal abilities.
I enjoyed the song even more from your enjoyment of it. You are awesome!
2021 is just getting better with this awesome band, thumbs up 👍
We got two Judas Priest bands!! Only thing better is three!!!
The debut album kicks ass ,it makes want to workout when I listen to it 🤘
I totally agree with you and ripper sounds awesome so glad they are back kickin ass!!!!!!
I love this song and preordered the new KK's Priest album. Ken was always my favourite guitarist in Judas Priest, since I love his dive bombs and pinch harmonics. His tone has always been perfect for metal. I'm looking forward to the new album and the upcoming tour.
Bad ass band with legends in the lineup
You get nothing but dope solos from K.K.
Why does it sound like Judas Priest heard Rust In Peace and was like....we must make that sound....
Check out some of Tim 'Ripper' Owens other bands....
Charred Walls of the Damned, Beyond Fear and A New Revenge
The only reason why KK is not talked about that much is because he was fortunate and unfortunate to have had that beast on the guitar next to him for most of his career.
A great song with a great reaction. I just heard about this sing yesterday. Ripper did sing for Priest when Halford left.
That double solo...wicked....Classic Priest...love it. I've bought the album.....thank you TNT, sub'd your channel
Cool & sounds great... You go K.K. You are amazing as always! I guess I get to listen to Tim try to out sing Rob Halford... Can't be done!

Lol, hahahahahahah.. this made me laugh so hard
I saw KK's Priest last week. Accept was the opening act 🎸🎸🎸
Ripper cant run a sports bar but he can sing like hell.
LOL Jon Taffer went in on him hard. That was hilarious.

You are correct. I guess this is the new method of how modern metal is recorded but for me it takes away that raw sound from back in the day.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT
For sure.
Exactly. And this drummer has no groove - wish Les was on this. I was really looking forward to hearing his playing, but I guess he's too old now.
Pure steel and energy! 🤘
Ripper was In band when Rob left,and Tim can sing Any jp song when Halford can't do that already in 2000s. Tim is the MAN and powerful voice
Didnt Tim sing in metal church for awhile?

Rob and the boys better go in the studio and bring the fire because I don’t they can top this
Not bad for a 70 year old...😎
Not until October 27th dude!
Ripper has matured in his singing .He now has better command of his voice he’s an underrated as a vocalist
Reminds me of the jugulator album!
I like the song, but it sounds like Priest after Rob left the band. I love how heavy it is though...very cool bro.
It’s a great song. Looking forward to the album.
KK apparently said too much upon departure from the band, (never said it in his book), that even his good buddy ian Hill has turned away from him!
I wish I could understand the lyrics more. Other than that it is classic Priest sound which is great.
I loved it. It also had an Accept feel to it. Which is great as I also love them
I love Accept, I kinda feel like they are under rated a bit. I never hear anyone talk about them.
My exact thoughts!
Great sound, great voice, great guitar work.
But there is a problem: the main riff is the same as the main riff of "Nostradamus"; was it really necessary?
Fucking love it!
Can't lose with 2 priest bands
How about kks priest brothers of the road or raise your fist those songs are out ohvyes and sermons of the sinner those three kks priest songs recently released
Man. Thumbs up!
Best metal song of 2021??? Have you heard Skyfall by Helloween yet??
YES!!!!! I LOVE IT! My reaction is on the channel somewhere but its one of my favorite helloween songs.
Hmm sounds like a cut track from Painkiller! KK didn't want anything more to do with music! So Why TF did he leave Priest!
Nice!
I love it.
Nice to finally hear new music from Ken, just a shame it wasn't with Ritchie and the other Priest guys...but this is still worthy. T you need to hear new Flotsam song "Burn The Sky" ....song of the year for me , so far.
I Like it. I heard it the first time.

Not sure about the stop gaps but really good
Hope y'all do some more country music soon! Also would love to see some Alter Bridge and Muse, (or more of them, if you've already reacted to a few.)
More country coming out this weekend. Stay tuned
KK's lead work in this sounded great, but overall, I was pretty underwhelmed.
