Looks interesting!
But he should have just called it something else.
Just looks like he's riding JP's coat tails.

New single out there sounds like everything ya want from em..be great craic live
He is absolutely, 100% blatantly riding on JP's coat tails. I remember reading that he lost a load of money on a bad golf course investment which hit him so hard that he had to sell off his JP royalties. I don't think the world needs an Aldi version of Judas Priest but these are the times we live in.
I'm a huge Judas Priest fan but that song sounds completely by the numbers...I hope the rest of the album sounds less formulaic..
I read his book and it fairly much said that he was retired. Also, no mention of bad investments ha ha ha. Hope this is decent anyway
Sounds decent enough, better than a lot of shite around these days. Always liked ripper priest albums too

Jugulator is class.
Demolition is only OK.
They'll do well if they stick to playing material from the Binks era that the 'real' Priest don't play. Ripper is capable for it anyways.
Derivative shite designed to ride coattails as much as fans with cash.
I'm not at the "I want those 5 minutes of my life back" level with it, but I doubt I'll ever listen again. Have never been a fan of Ripper though, and the song is just the same thing we've all heard a thousand times.
Calling the band 'Priest' is a little cheeky, it should be something else, Hellion or something JP related but not 'Priest' FFS. Having said that it sounds good, Owens still has it.
It is toe curling to use the name priest though. Another name would give it a tad more authenticity
Maybe I'm not thinking straight because of a tooth infection going on right now, but....why does it matter what it's called like?
You like the music - listen to it. You don't like the music - don't listen to it. Or no?

I'm a huge Priest fan but I'm not buying any of these. They should have called it something less obvious.
The shit generic name is absolutely perfect as it is a spot on reflection of the music. Pointless in every way. But I get it, it's exactly what people will want from this collaboration- a predictable retread of worn out ideas, familiar riffs and banal lyrics. Cuntish is the word.
:laugh:

Agreed, and Cathedral Spires is the best song Priest have done in the last 30 years.
The name makes sense because when they play live it's going to be a Judas Priest tribute show. Calling it something so blatant will make the whole thing so much easier to market.
KK and the Judases would have been a better, and more fitting, name.
Judass Priest
Jewed Arsepiss
Judas Priest AD
They should have named themselves after a classic track or one of the albums... like Heaven & Hell did.
Or even better, they could have presented one single original idea!
True!
Old dogs and all that, sure.
I'm reading a lot about the band online, and can't believe how many people are commenting on the song sounding like Judas Priest a lot.
Well....good morning detectives.
It is KK from JP for fuck's sake.
An ancient KK on top of it. I am quite naive in many situations, but would never expect this band to write another Out in the cold, Blood Red Skies, Ripper or Painkiller. I don't expect that from JP either.
Us, old farts have no need for more music like this, but maybe some younger folk would be OK with it.
It is what it is, I've always liked KK a lot and if they will play nearby, for not too expensive ticket, I'd go for a 100% and am sure to have a good time.
Thing is, the last Preist record was pretty decent. Derivative, but the good side of it.
Not like this shite.
Always liked Binks' drumming, but is he in or out now?
Out... going by the video.
He'd have heat failure playing that, I reckon. :P
New song, pretty awful:

Yeah the first 2 singles have been very uninspiring.....
Not as bad as I thought from reading the comments here, but nothing Earth shattering sure.
I think this is the better song than I've heard so far
https://youtu.be/cqOZJAZR1XM
Surprised they didn't go with Eddie "Bonedigger" Halford instead of Tim Owens. Shame.
I'd like to see them live.

A thread back from the grave ....
Playing a few UK dates in October. Would be great to get them over here.
New album on the way with two 'singles' now available to stream
I have tried to like KK's Priest, have a lot of time for Owens, in particular, but this stuff is weak sauce. There's no denying it.
Listened to the two singles and thought they were pants.
I can't take it seriously, or get past the minute mark!
