While all the attention around the entrance of Judas Priest in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has focused on the possibility of seeing KK Downing together with his old companions also participating in the performance that will celebrate this historic moment, other musicians who participated in the legendary band were excluded from this recognition, and the bassist Ian Hill he commented on it “it’s a shame” what Tim “Ripper” Owens don’t enter the Hall of Fame with them.
These statements came during the interview granted by the bassist to Rock 100.5 The KATTremembering that the system of this institution personalizes these items, with Rob HalfordHill himself, Glenn Tipton, KK Downing, Scott Travis, The Binks y Dave Holland being the elect: “Richie (Faulkner) there will be anyway. She will still be on stage and play with us. I think one of the parameters is that you must have been playing in the band for 25 years or something, or the last 25 years. It has nothing to do with us. If it were up to us, we probably would have included Richie and “Ripper”. But it doesn’t depend on us. We have nothing to say, really. It’s a shame, but it is what it is. “
Ian points out that Judas Priest has nothing to do with choosing which musicians come in and which ones don’t, which could add to Owens’ complaint about how your stage gets “swept under the carpet” in the band: “No. This is all Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame stuff. They include whoever they think is worthy (laughs), for lack of a better word. So Ken will be there. He was an important part of the band from the very beginning until when He didn’t leave about 10 years ago. And of course there will be Les Binks too. And it’s a shame that poor Dave Holland isn’t there. He’ll be included, but sadly he’s dead. a couple of years ago, which is a shame, really . But yes, everyone up there deserves it very much. “
The November 5th is the very close date of the long-awaited ceremony that will take place in Microsoft Theater from The Angelswhose issue will reach later HBO. Judas Priest will receive recognition for musical excellence during the ceremony that will feature the performance of the band with a format of three guitarists and two drummers.
