Was Priest's Ripper Owens period still Priest, or a band in neutral waiting for your return?

You could say the same thing when Bruce [Dickerson] was away from Iron Maiden, or Vince [Neil] was away from Motley Crue; it was still the band, it just didn't have all the wheels on the vehicle. That's not insulting, that's just...  I would never want this misconstrued as a bitch-slap, because Tim [Owens] is a great friend of mine, and he did wonderful things for Priest. Priest was still Priest. Priest was still going ahead. Thankfully it's all roaring on eight cylinders now.

Enjoy!!!!!

Hey "2-cents" ..........crank it!!!!!

Crank it!!!!!!!!!

Very nice, I'd like her to deliver my goods!!


Look i didnt want to offend anyone with this thread, not even Numero"broken-record"uno. I'm not the only one extremly tired of this kid's non stop rants about his hero Tim Owens. And it wouldn't be bad at all if he didn't bring it up every f#@king paragraph he writes on here. He's also working his hardest to push buttons saying when ever he gets the chance that Owens is a better singer then THE METAL GOD!! I was pretty sure this is a Judas Priest website, not an exciter/iced earth/ beyond fear website. I've admitted that Owens can sing, i like a few songs from the "ripper years" (even though i dont consider it JP) I have nothing personal against Owens, he seems like a down to earth good guy, but a Metal God he is not. Period. I'll defend the True Metal God until the last.

C'mon boys, stop it 'Cause it could be misunderstood!!
I know it's not an insult thread, but it's a worst thread!!
This thread goes the ways Darryn's walkin'!! And I cannot imagine you would be an idiot like him!!

Everyone of us have his favs in vocalists, guitarists and so on.
Yep, I like Tim too but Rob is the man in the case of Priest!!
Rob is the Metal God and Tim is the Metal Messiah!! That's my opinion. Fuck off about meanings from losers like Darryn!!

C'mon boys, shake hands 'Cause we all are true fans of
Judas Priest!!
