KK's Priest live | Rock Hard Festival 2024 | Rockpalast

[@martialsentenza6621]

Tim " The Ripper" Owens is maybe the perfect archetype of what a heavy metal singer is all about ! Agressive, Melodic, Strong !

[@saturnusexdeo1472]

Тим, из полной жопы, вытащил группу после Хэлфорда! А его до сих пор - не уважают. Потому что , как были ПИДОРАМИ, так ИМИ и ОСТАЛИСЬ!

[@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212]

This is ironically funny. This is no disrespect because Tim is a GOAT level singer but he based his entire vocal style on Rob Halford of Judas Priest. And if we're talking about the perfect archetype of what a heavy metal singer is all about, that guy is the Metal God, Rob Halford. BTW, I just saw KK's Priest and they're amazing. I'm so glad that we still have two great bands out of this musical divorce. Both of which are still making incredible heavy metal music.

[@TwistOfTransistor]

Ripper Owens is just incredible Heavy Metal vocalist

[@michaelnovak8954]

What a great time to be alive. Judas Priest tours. Yet, we are blessed to see KK bring Metal to the stage. We see Tim “Ripper” Owens hold down Judas Priest Metal once again. Sean Elg has been killing the drums with Nihilist, Cage, and Three Tremors. Now, with the band. With the stellar musicianship of A.J. and Tony, they are destroying!! Truly ONE MORE SHOT AT GLORY!!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Vencislago]

We lost K.K. from Judas Priest, but we won a f***ing awesome new band! With Ripper Owens raising the flag of metal with is power (always loved the Ripper era in JP) The remaining band members make it all tight as hell! Props to the sound production for the astonishing work capturing this gig. Thank you.

[@Sewersyrup]

This is what metal is about, absolute killer performance. Tim is absolutely insane here.

[@dale8809]

Dang Tim Owens' voice is amazing. And KK still has awesome chops on this.

[@davidryan7981]

Boggles my mind how Tim Owens isn't consistently in most lists or discussions of the greatest metal vocalists. Only explanation I can imagine is because he's probably best known for replacing great singers in established bands (Priest and Iced Earth to name the two major ones). Dude frigging wails but what blows my mind is that he sounds exactly like late 90s Tim. I'd have expected him to lose some of that high end. Dude is a machine.

[@SevenOf9-Seven]

He is skilled but he brings nothing new to the table that hasn't already been brought by Halford, Dickinson and all those before him. He's basically a metal karaoke singer, kind of like that Ronnie Romero guy.

[@carapungo]

I had the privilege of talking to KK Downing about 20 years ago, at the American Airlines Admiral’s lounge in Santiago de Chile. He is a very down to earth person, very humble, very witty, he even let me hear the Angel of Retribution track, which was not even released yet!!!. That’s how kind he is. Aside from that, KK Priest with this line up and in this particular concert, they kick major ass, every member is at the top of their game. I do miss Les Binks, but Sean Elg, is just a superb drummer. The sound engineer deserves a raise, the sound here is just awesome!

[@antonp.9987]

Priest (I mean the true one) is a category above this, and not bc it's bad. IS just make every other metal albums released recently sound weak, and not bc they were bad, but bc JP still knows something no one els does.

KK Downing is a founding member of Judas Priest. Tim Owen's filled in for Halford when he left Judas Priest.
