A little something that I found on Metal Hammer.
Q: On YouTube, there are videos of you playing HENDRIX and ZEPPELIN riffs. Do you bring that sort of style to JUDAS PRIEST?
Faulkner: I came from that sort of era, yeah. That classic rock, ZEPPELIN, HENDRIX and all of that. I think [former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist] K.K.’s [Kenneth Downing] playing was Hendrix-inspired as well so that’s kind of similar there. What it feels like to be a part of it? You can imagine it’s a bit kind of surreal really. But as a fan of the band and of the genre, they are big shoes to fill and I know what I’ve got to do. Ken was in the band for a long time so I’m not trying to take away anything from that but as a fan and as part of the band now, it’s exciting as a guitar player and as a musician.
Q: Was it difficult learning any of PRIEST’s songs?
Faulkner: I knew some of them already, to be honest, and it’s kind of where I come from musically. So it wasn’t difficult in a sense — that’s what I’ve been brought up on and raised on. The ones I didn’t know it was quite easy to go in.

I saw Priest in Wolverhampton last night, they were great and so was Richie!!
He has fitted in very well and his solos were top notch...He also did his his bit in getting the crowd going, i could tell he enjoyed every minute of the show.
no complaints from me.

Saw them at Manchester last week and was impressed. A very up front performance looked like he was enjoying it & as if he'd always been there.
