That was a fun watch. KK looked and sounded great. The band was good enough.....except for that cheesy singer. NIce to see KK back on stage. I hope he starts playing again on a regular basis. Maybe he should track down Les Binks....
I hope people watch this and realize how vital KK was to Priest's sound, specially in the old days. His tone was never the best, but paired with Tipton's it was just right for the band.
The Binks thing had never occurred to me, but it makes sense. He was probably the best Drummer Priest ever had. If I were KK I would give him a call, along with Tim Owens (he is singing with everybody these days so why not?) and make a killer touring band. I bet it would pay more than whatever else he is doing these days.

Binks is currently touring with some sort of Judas Priest cover band, called 'Les Binks Priesthood'. He'd be better off doing something with KK, indeed. As for Ripper Owens... ugh, no thanks.
I saw him play that guitar before but maybe it was just a loan ?
I don't think it was a loaned out guitar. It has "K.K." on the headstock and it has a scalloped fretboard. I think that was one of his custom built V's.....its really nice. I meant to comment on the guitar earlier. Sweet axe.
.....and as for RtB playing an SG, he always played one of those too.
I absolutely loved seeing KK onstage & having a blast ripping it up. Ten years is way too long for that guy to not be playing.He still has it in spades.

Owens seems to bother a lot of people, but having seen him live several times, I find him better than most singers out there. Plus, he has legitimate Priest connections, like the two other guys mentioned. Not everybody out there is Rob Halford (who is?)

Yep. And unlike Tipton, he can still play. It seems kinda foolish for Priest to have a guest guitar player when the original guy is out there doing nothing.
So it doesn't seem to me like KK is doing too bad; he actually sounds like he's doing good, as I had suspected.....
I'm really happy to see him back (even if this is just a small thing, for now) & hoping to see a lot more of him in the future.Hands down my favorite member of the mighty JP.
