Your history with Judas Priest goes way back to 1978. How did it start?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first rock group I started listening to was KISS around 76, then I started branching out to other bands like Ted Nugent, Van Halen, AC\/DC, and Black\u00a0Sabbath. I think the third or fourth concert I saw was Foghat in 1978 in Fort Worth TX.\u00a0 The two opening bands for Foghat were Bachman Turner Overdrive and a band I’d never heard of called “Judas Priest.”<\/p>\n

JP was on their “Stained Class” tour, and although it’s one of my favorite albums now, at the time I’d never heard a note of their music.\u00a0They came across as shockingly heavy and fast compared to the other bands I’d seen thus far in concert.\u00a0 I remember being fascinated with this new band… a blond guitarist on the left, dark haired guitarist on the right both headbanging (what\u2019s that?) the whole time… and in the center, a short haired lead singer whose vocals were punctuated by laser-like piercing screams!\u00a0 In my short time as a rock fan, I had always gravitated to the more menacing, darker sounding\u00a0bands… and now I suddenly had a new favorite!<\/p>\n

Your list of Priest concerts is impressive! Do you remember exactly how many times you\u2019ve seen them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen the Priest 22 times so far.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Among those shows, could you pick a few memorable ones, and maybe say a few words about each?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been so many good ones, but the British Steel tour in 1980 was incredible.\u00a0 They were very loud and super heavy… they opened with the motorcycle and “Hell Bent”.\u00a0 I recall blistering versions of “Sinner”, \u201dSteeler”, “Tyrant” and “Genocide” (with Rob firing his machine gun at the audience)….we were worn out at the end of that one, I can tell you that.<\/p>\n

Also memorable was “Screaming For Vengeance” tour, which was the first time Priest headlined a massive arena here in Dallas.\u00a0 They had a devoted cult following up to that point, but “Screaming” is when the floodgates opened and Priest truly attained the status of Metal Gods!\u00a0 At the Dallas show the crowd rushed the stage and the people in the balconies started bonfires in the aisles!<\/p>\n

How about the big one, the US Festival in 1983?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US Festival, my friend and I drove 24 hours from Texas to California and got there the day before the festival.\u00a0 We stayed in a motel and the next morning we headed out to the festival.\u00a0 The gig was in a giant open area of land out there in the San Bernandino valley. I recall parking in a gigantic field and walking thru a parking lot which must have gone on for miles.\u00a0 We got to the festival site and it was just a sea of people, and what seemed like at least 2 miles away was the stage.<\/p>\n

We walked through the crowd and of course as you got closer to the stage it was more and more crowded until we got about 30 or 40 feet away from the stage.\u00a0 We didn’t want to lose our spot for Priest so we stayed there through Quiet Riot, Motley Crue and Ozzy.\u00a0 Priest came on around 4 in the afternoon.\u00a0 We had heard that Priest was supposed to be right before Van Halen, but Van Halen didn’t want that so they moved Priest to earlier in the day!\u00a0 (They were followed by Triumph, then Scorpions, then Van Halen).\u00a0 Anyway, it didn’t matter because Priest completely owned every other band that day, Scorps were the only ones who came close in my opinion.\u00a0 Priest were awesome as usual and it was well worth driving across the country to see this show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there an era in Priest\u2019s long history which, to you, is an absolute peaking point?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love the 70’s era Priest the best, but they were really the biggest metal band in the planet around the time of “Screaming” and “Defenders”.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite album and song?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Favorite album is Unleashed in the East. I know it’s a live album but it takes all the best tracks from their earlier albums and cranks up the intensity to eleven!\u00a0 To me, Unleashed is the definition of “heavy metal”.\u00a0 If live albums were disqualified, then it would be \u201dStained Class” — pure metal perfection, with no weak spots!<\/p>\n

Favorite song: Tyrant<\/p>\n

You have plenty of Judas Priest memorabilia. Are there any items you would like to point out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the catalog on vinyl, (a few on CD) all proudly scratched up from countless spins on the turntable for decades.\u00a0 Best of JP Picture disc, Rock Forever EP, Breaking the Law gatefold 45, Evening Star on Clear Vinyl, a bootleg Sad Wings shirt I bought in 79, British Steel jersey from 1980, the first Priest biography Heavy Duty, Screaming tour book, some classic posters from back in the day including the gigantic “subway” poster…my copy of Unleashed was autographed by all band members when they did an in store appearance at a record store in Dallas in 1980.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019re also a metal musician, and have played in various bands since the 80s. Tell us more about that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes I formed the thrash metal band Gammacide in 1986… we released one LP Victims of Science which is a favorite among underground thrashers.\u00a0 I also was a founding member of Warbeast along with my fellow Gammacide guitarist Scott Shelby and Rigor Mortis vocalist Bruce Corbitt.\u00a0 We were signed to Phil Anselmo’s Housecore Records and I co-wrote and played on the debut LP Krush The Enemy.\u00a0 My current project is Iron Jaw, classic old school metallic mayhem!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Gammacide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About Iron Jaw, musically you have obviously returned to square one. How is the project right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iron Jaw is going back to basics for me, I’ve done thrash metal,\u00a0industrial, and other kinds of metal but my first love is straight up HEAVY metal.\u00a0 I’ve got some like-minded musicians with me in Iron Jaw and we plan on recording and releasing some material this year.\u00a0 Anyone interested can check out either\u00a0ironjaw.bandcamp.com<\/a>\u00a0 or\u00a0facebook.com\/ironjawheavymetal<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 …. and Kimmo thanks for giving me the opportunity to plug my music!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Iron Jaw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a guitarist, which is is your favourite K.K. solo?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So many great ones, how do I choose?\u00a0 I love the lead in Savage how it starts out melodic and then towards the end he says fuck it and just goes crazy.\u00a0 His\u00a0lead in “Between the Hammer and the Anvil” is a masterpiece.\u00a0 Of course the “Sinner” is always great too… but I would have to say my favorite KK solo is “Jawbreaker” — a nice long solo with different sections, abstract and wild, but still very much a “song within the song”.<\/p>\n

What does the music of Judas Priest mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No lie, I listen to Priest every day.\u00a0 Sometimes, the music moves me to tears\u2026not that it makes me sad, but it can make me very emotional. For me the combination of aggression and triumphant melodies in Priest’s music is my favorite sound on planet Earth.<\/p>\n

Your message to K.K. and Millworkers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Steel Mill is an awesome website, and it is an honor to be featured on the Fan Profile!\u00a0 I love browsing through KK’s private scrapbooks and the scans of the old tour books.\u00a0 You should publish a hardcover version!\u00a0 The Fuel of The Furnace articles are always my favorite part… Ville\u2019s in-depth analysis of key Priest songs is fascinating.<\/p>\n

My message to KK would simply be:\u00a0 Thank you for the music you created with Glenn and Rob.\u00a0 It has become an integral part of my life, and is a never-ending source of positive energy and inspiration!<\/p>\n

And now it’s your chance to ask K.K. a question…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can I ask two?\u00a0I always wondered about the track Dissident Aggressor… for that track to have been written in 1977 is amazing… it is crushingly heavy and ahead of its time.\u00a0 I always wondered where the inspiration for that track came from…was that written before Simon Phillips started helping on that album, or did his pounding rhythms inspire the music?\u00a0 Do you have any recollection of how that song was written, who came up with riffs, etc?<\/p>\n

Not sure, Rick, being such a long time ago. I’m pretty sure that we had already written the track before we met Simon. I’m sure that Simon literally played his part in adding dynamics to the song as another drummer might well have done something a bit different and not as good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Secondly, you toured with AC\/DC (another one of my favorite bands) on the European leg of the Highway to Hell tour.\u00a0After that you recorded British Steel.\u00a0 Was that album\u2019s raw, direct approach influenced by AC\/DC?<\/p>\n

I can only say that when Les Binks left the band we held audition for a new drummer and Dave Holland was our choice because he really layed it down, he hit the drums hard and kept good time and he lived quite local, and also had good credentials coming from Trapeze, having said that if Les had stayed with the band we would have been just as happy. Enjoyed that tour a lot, great guys AC\/DC!<\/strong><\/p>\n

cheers K.K.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
