KK Downing & John 5
Notas do episódio
K.K. Downing calls in from the road during his 42-show tour opening for WASP across the US and Canada. The Judas Priest co-founder discusses the grueling schedule, balancing KK's Priest material with classic Priest songs like 'Heading Out to the Highway' and 'Turbo Lover,' and how vocalist Ripper Owens powers through night after night. K.K. reflects on Ian Hill's retirement announcement, remembering how they started Judas Priest together decades ago. He also shares his excitement about the Sad Wings of Destiny reissue, including a previously unreleased version of 'Diamonds and Rust,' and hints at new KK's Priest music coming after the tour wraps up. After that, fresh off Motley Crue's massive tour with Tesla and Extreme, John 5 sits down to share stories from the road—including the hilarious moment when four band members took separate private planes to the same destination. He talks about the 'heavy metal summer camp' vibe backstage, playing to enormous crowds in Mexico, and how he's settled into his role with Motley over the past four years. John also reveals details about his new Fender Phantom guitar, along with a new instrumental track.
