Just wait until this next Priest album is out without K.K. and we will compare it to Nostradamus (with K.K.) and we'll see which album the metal community likes better. I can give a rats butt if Ken is on the album or not at this point,the band has starved us for far too long without a proper metal album and I want some quality heavy metal from Rob,Glenn,Ian,Scott and Richie Faulkner.
The album doesn't have to have K.K. on it to be kick ass,who cares that people will not call it "Judas Priest" good for them,the logo will be on the album cover and Halford,Tipton,Hill and Travis will all be on the record.....for those of us who still are supporting the band we will not be let down,especially not now after all this has gone down.
I don't know this and its just a guess,but I've got the feeling that K.K. had got "bored" with "metal" all together. I think this is why he left the band because Rob and Glenn want a strong metal record and I think K.K. wanted to either have Nostradamus be the last Priest studio LP or wanted to dabble in more experimental material. I think this is the breakdown within the band and the management sided in with Rob and Glenn about creating another strong "metal" album.
Thats my guess and I very well may be way off base here but I'll keep believing this untill I'm proven wrong.
