- Former Judas Priest lead guitarist KK Downing has been a busy man since he left the legendary British Metallers over seven years ago and it was a real pleasure to catch up with him at his new Metal venue, KK's Steel Mill, last week in Wolverhampton.
This is a venue that is not only steeped in history but rooted in ambition too and KK talks us through the founding of Steel Mill and touches upon the plans for its future.
KK released his autobiography in September, 'Heavy Duty - Days And Nights In Judas Priest', and it's a revealing read with anecdotes aplenty and a fair share of surprises as well.
The real reasons for and circumstances of his departure from one of the most influential Metal bands of all time are laid bare, and the book is by far the most searching biopic of Priest ever.
KK touches on many aspects of the books content in our interview as well as his plans for his own musical future and what exactly where the future of Heavy Metal may lay.
The interview is in four parts and you'll find the rest here: www.metaltalk.rocks/kk-downin... - Hudba
KK Was one of the founding members of Priest. If Halford can quit the band for years, KK has to be a part of the next tour, zero exceptions!
i agree .
Unpopular opinion..or fact .
i think Priest Lost heaviness and innovative mind since KK left
He's already reiterated that he wont be doing it.
you prolly dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Oscar Angelo Instablaster =)
@Mekhi Hudson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I met KK at this venue and he comes across as a really down to earth decent guy. Respect.
All the priest members are very humble as they come from working class families i truly appreciate people of such amazing talent been so down to earth, long live the Metal Gods..
KK DOWNING=TRUE METAL GOD!
There is no priest without kk downing...
This is great! I love the venue! It was extremely cool to see K.K. and Skid Row there in August. Great decorations, also!
K. K. should be back😎👍
What a amazing guitarist and has a really cool personality.
I see KK, i click.
Kk what a nice guy
saw priest in the past 2 years and all i can say is it will be the last time unless kk comes back its just not the same
KK ist ein sehr guter Gitarrist und Mensch,dass weiss ich schon sehr lange!!!!
Selbsverstaendlich !
Great interview! I wish that we could see KK on stage with Priest again, he was TURBO in that band. I hope that he will be successful with his venue. Good luck KK 👍
There are three more parts Kamil and you'll find them all here... www.metaltalk.rocks/kk-downing-video-interview-nov18
to bad he didnt get invited back to jP as jps new guitarist is crap andy sneap
Can’t wait for new KK \m:
Heavy metal god!!!
Not a bad biography he published recently. A real metal soldier with likeable attitude was surprised. Always a little mysterious like glenn tipton.
The book was a good read but I got a bit annoyed with the way he skipped over the recording of nearly all the albums. He just mentions each one and then goes "We went in, recorded it, and that was it really". I'd have liked to hear him talk about the studio process a bit more.
cool!
Check out the "Firepower" album. The Priesthood moves on, no prisoners or passengers! Just an opinion. Love what KK's planning now though, good luck to the lad.
Nice bloke !
Correction kk it was hawkwind not roxy.
Who’s know, but he did said that he written a letter about 1991, about his departure from Judas Priest, maybe he did not get along with Glen Tipton and the manager, he wrote alot there
but don’t know about now, he been written his book for along time, maybe Kenneth has decide to change his mind,
You're very attractive just saying.
For sure Priest has plenty attractive fans! \m/
Priest isn’t the same without KK
Agree 100%. I don't listen to any Priest since KK left in 2011. Like back when Halford left I listened to no music w/ "Ripper" singing. I'm a 52yo lady who saw Priest live twice back in mid 80's, and without KK their just not the band I LOVED. I wish them all well. I'm reading Halford's book 'Confess" right now, & so far not alot is mentioned about KK or his departure. Their just NOT the same band without him.😉
I hope he returns even if briefly for their 50th anniversary, since KK Is the HUGE factor in Priest forming 5 decades ago. Stay safe😷
firepower ?
Of course priest is not priest without kk. but i dont think anything Brothers Halford whom thinks he IS priest by himself.
Too bad that he did not wish to come back, as he has written in his book, heavy duty he did said ‘I’m sick of it all’
He burned out. 45 years of heavy touring and being with the band led to this Judas Priest you a fine replacement ( Ritchie Faukner) and KK is still friends with them. So all is well.
rbagel55 he left for his own, nobody force him out
@@katyalee6969 I knew that
They make the right choice to choose Richie Faulkner to be the best replacement
I don’t see what’s the big deal with that, the former guitarist is retired so the new one come, it’s simple
