Formed in Birmingham in 1968, Judas Priest, with its distinctive
twin-guitar sound, studs and leather image, became the archetypal
heavy metal band in the 1980s with international sales of over 50
million records. Iconic tracks like 'Breaking the Law', 'Living
after Midnight' and 'You've Got Another Thing Coming' helped the
band achieve extraordinary success in America but, as popular as
they've been over the past five decades, no one from the band has
stepped out of the stage lights to tell their or the band's story.
Well, founding member K.K. Downing has had enough of that. As the
band approaches its golden anniversary, fans will at last be able
to delve backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and
haunting stories that surround the heavy metal institution. Downing
discusses frontman Rob Halford's hidden sexuality, the personality
conflicts (particularly with Glen Tipton), the business screw-ups,
the acrimonious relationship with fellow heavy metal band Iron
Maiden, and how Judas Priest was at ground zero for the parental
outrage against heavy metal in the '80s, blaming it for the rampant
drug abuse and suicides among teenagers. He reveals the
life-changing moment when he looked at his bandmates on stage
during a 2010 concert and thought, 'This is the last show'.
Whatever the topic, whoever's involved, K.K. doesn't hold back.
From the band at its beginning to his retirement in 2010 (and even
still as a member of the band's board of directors), Downing has
seen it all and is now finally at a place in his life where he can
also let it all go. Even if you're a lifelong fan, if you think you
know the full story of Judas Priest, well, you've got another thing
coming.
