Glenn Tipton

There are right and wrong reasons for doing solo projects, and this album was done for the right reasons. At the time there was no Judas Priest and I certainly wasn't going to hang my hat up on my musical career. ”

It'll be basically a live album, but it will also include songs, Judas Priest songs, the audience have never heard before, because we felt we wanted to give the kids something else, something they haven't already bought. ”

I started out myself rather late you see, I was 18. ”

If you're not enjoying yourself, you can't really look as if you are. ”

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it. ”

And because of the reunion I think we've got more energy and enthusiasm than we've ever had. And it's genuine. I think the fans can detect when you're genuine, when you love what you do, and we love to be there on stage. That's what we thrive on. ”

Shortly after that, we got management problems over in England, and Judas Priest asked me to join. ”

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices. ”

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family. ”

Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change. ”
