(RockAAA) Former Judas Priest singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens says he hates the fact KK Downing is no longer in the band, but says he can't really be hypocritical about it.Speaking to DJ Eddie Trunk, Owens says that he fully understands the situation as he filled in on vocals when Rob Halford left the band in 1997. He said: "I hate that K.K.'s not in the band
"I'm friends with all of them. I just saw Ken up in Manchester when DIO DISCIPLES played there. We went and had some dinner, he hung out all night. It was a great time."
"Listen, I was in the band and Rob Halford wasn't there, so I can't be the one to say, 'Well, it's not the same without somebody.' That's not the case. more on this story
