WOW!! Thank you Eternal Betrayer! I don't check Glenn's site that often because before it didn't really change - but I guess now I need to! I personally thought Richie was outstanding and can certainly hold his own. Of course the songs sound a bit different, but that is to be expected. I really loved everything I have heard on YouTube and am extremely excited for the tour to come over to the States in the fall.

"We played our first show last night in Tilburg Holland. Although it was a warm up show, it was just as important to us as the big shows to come and it was jam packed.
The audience was fantastic and it was an amazing debut for Ritchie. I still can`t believe the way he captures the essence of the solos, but does it in his own way. He really is quite special!
It was great to be back on stage again. The set list works well. We are, as we said doing a song from every album and being the farewell tour we have obviously included all the favourites, but songs like "Never Satisfied", "Blood Red Skies", "Starbreaker" and "Nightcrawler", also got a great reaction. The arrangement changes we made in the other songs worked well too.
All in all it was a great night for the band and I'd like to thank our fans, it was quite emotional and great to be back especially as it looked unlikely for a time."

I'm not saying it's good or bad but I am curious to know what some of you think.
I only have Youtube to go by but to me it seems as if Richie is changing some of the guitar work to suit his style.
Some of his solos sound a little flashy or jazzed up.
I'm wondering if anyone is noticing a change in their sound and I wonder, if there is a change, is it Priest's idea
or Richie's. Do they want him to add his own flair to their sound or is it maybe that he can't do KK's parts as well
as KK? Maybe it's me and there is no change. The little differences I'm noticing I'm not really liking because to
me they (Priest) sound different. The poor video quality and me only watching about a half dozen or so of them
tells not to criticize just yet.
Any thoughts? |

K.K will always be in our hearts but Richie was the best guy they could've got for the job. He will never be a Ken but he doesn't intend to be a Ken wannabe. He's trying to be Richie, not Ken.

OH thank you!!!!!!! Everyone's telling me that I can't like him because he's not part of Priest and he's amateur and blah blah blah blah blah but he is gorgeous. Don't get me wrong he's nowhere near Rob but still this guys HOT!!!!

| Richie appears to be a great guitar player. I wonder if he's gonna do a quick snippet of the national anthem during each concert in each country? They could do that before Rob's "oh Yeah" section or before other encores. |

KK WILL RETURN SOMETIME.I JUST KNOW HE WILL
|
|
| [L�avenir de L�humanite!] Sunday, May 29, 2011 3:02:12 PM | |

He appears on the following albums:
2002 - "Blown" by the band DEEDS
2006 - "Feed My Soul" by the band VOODOO SIX
2008 - "Calm Before The Storm" by LAUREN HARRIS (Steve Harris' daughter)
2009 - "Vicious Circle" by the band ACE MAFIA
Interestingly; when asked recently in KERRANG! magazine whether Richie was a full band member of Judas Priest, Rob Halford answered that they would wait until after the Epitaph Tour had finished to see how things had worked out, and whether Richie wanted to stay etc.
This asks the question whether the band are actually going to continue, and if they are, will Mr. Faulkner be a part of it (as a hired-hand) or is the door being left open for KK to return at some later point.
Also, here is the link for the Los Angeles press conference to introduce him, just before their American Idol appearence:
