Even KK's mom would pick Judas Priest.

I went with KK. I’ve seen JP lots of times, I haven’t seen KKP yet. And I like the KK albums.

I’d do 2 of each from Jugulator and Demoliton.
2 of each of the KKP albums, then the rest JP songs.

Ripper Priest
I’m going on tour with them on West Coast shows hopefully LA-OC-SD maybe LV

Same!

More OG JP guitarists on stage, smaller venue, no bum notes, maybe KKP will bring L.A. Guns to Europe too!

"Priest" already has a show scheduled here in April, I'm so excited that I don't have a ticket yet.

KK

Rob talk-sings too much of the songs now, and, while I do appreciate that they change up the setlist quite a bit these days, I've seen them enough in their post-Tipton era, Id rather see something different with KK and Ripper

Also, with JP, there's only 1 KK on stage, while KKs Priest has 2 KKs, so thats double the KK!! KKKK!

BernieTaupson · Post by **BernieTaupson** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 4:29 pm

They’re both tribute bands at this point so I’d skip both and check YouTube if they played any rare songs.

FreddyFender · Post by **FreddyFender** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 4:34 pm

KK.

I don't go to shed or arena shows anymore, and I also don't spend stupid money to see bands. At some point I got free tickets from work to see the Priest/Saxon/Blackstar Riders show and left about a third of the way through Priests set. Was already annoyed BSR dropped all Lizzy songs except Jailbreak. Saxon has always been awful. Priest put me to sleep. Boring night out.

KK is an obnoxious weirdo and I understand why Priest don't want him around, but I would absolutely pay $20-$30 to hear him and Ripper do some JP covers in a club.

Of course, I will see both. I've enjoyed seeing JP throughout the years, however, if one option is available, I would rather see KK. Both albums are killer, Rob's voice is gradually fading, whereas Ripper rips.

dmbrocker · Post by **dmbrocker** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 4:46 pm

I'd prefer the KK and Glenn back in the main lineup, but if I had to choose I'd go with Rob and Ian.

KK. Saw Priest on Ram it Down tour. Was bored.

Michael Hotts Ghost · Post by **Michael Hotts Ghost** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 5:45 pm

neither... both suck.

I might have gone to see KK if he had Les Binks drumming but otherwise Im out.

GreatWhiteSnake · Post by **GreatWhiteSnake** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 5:47 pm

Priest all day. The only KK songs I'd know would be Priest tunes and Rob is the voice. Plus Ripper's a nob...

WCiezak · Post by **WCiezak** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 7:39 pm

Rob has been boring for at least the last 20 years. He just stands there and hunches over constantly with his cane. He was so boring compared to Testament on the Metal Gods tour that I ended up leaving halfway through his set. He also does the talk-singing as others have noted. Ripper still has the fire. Can't say I really care for KK's setlist though. They should add Cathedral Spires, maybe a couple more from Junkulator, Hell Is Home, One on One, Close To You, Subterfuge, Feed On me, and toss out Living After Midnight and You've Got. Heard those enough. How about Here Come The Tears, Out In the Cold, Reckless, Blood Red Skies, Hell Patrol, Living Bad Dreams, Between the Hammer, Night Comes Down, Take These Chains, Hot For Love, Sentinel, Rock Hard Ride Free, Angel, Desert Plains, and Before the Dawn. Owens voice doesn't go as deep, but he handles stuff in that Painkiller range a lot better. He's best suited to the heavier, faster stuff. Slow and aggressive too. I haven't heard his Breaking the Law lately, but I don't recall that it was all that faithful to the deeper character of Rob's voice on it.

BernieTaupson · Post by **BernieTaupson** » Mon Dec 18, 2023 8:59 pm

KK’s Priest should do Futureal and Fire In The Hole.

Metal Heart · Post by **Metal Heart** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 12:13 am

I have seen Priest many times over the decades. I still support them, but live they are a bit.. tired now. I chose KK's Priest because it would be something new and more interesting. And it would be in a club setting. I hate going to arenas now.

This. And a better / more suitable vocalist.
As for the setlist how about: Heroes End, White Heat Red Hot, Delivering the Goods, Evening Star, Let Us Prey, Here Come the Tears, Starbreaker, Island of Domination, Dreamer Deceiver, Turning Circles, Solar Angels, Steeler, The Rage, Riding On the Wind, Sinner, Living Bad Dreams, All Fired Up, Reckless, Wild Nights Hot and Crazy Days, Savage, .... fat chance.

I have no disrespect for classic Priest's second best guitarist, but I wouldn't exactly go out of my way to see his band instead of the group that fired him.

I guess there would also be folks out there who would choose Adler's Appetite over the current version of GnR, but I'm not one of them either.

I recently saw a tribute band called Early Priest, and their setlist was:

Exciter
White Heat Red Hot
Burnin Up (Feat:John Bush) https://www.facebook.com/jeff.fahnestoc ... 5460257353
Saints in Hell
Ripper
BTROD
Delivering the Goods
Savage
Sinner
Let us prey/Call for the priest
Tyrant

So that was the kinda setlist we're all wishing for and only $10!

maninblack · Post by **maninblack** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 9:29 am

Serious question. Is Rob a bottom or a top?

maninblack · Post by **maninblack** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 9:50 am

I assume he is a bottom. But has anyone ever asked him in an interview?

rockker · Post by **rockker** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 4:29 pm

At this point probably KK’s because at least I’d hear some songs off Jugulator played live

As a massive Stained Class honk that looks good to me...

In his book, he acts like a lovesick little schoolgirl (self-described!) when he gets an infatuation, and the dude is usually a macho, bearded, disinterested man's man.

Not saying that makes him a bottom. But it sounds like it!

risingfarce · Post by **risingfarce** » Fri Dec 22, 2023 10:39 pm

Neither.

Saw Priest 3 times. No need to see them again.

KK's Priest doesn't interest me. Can't stand Ripper.

inextrem · Post by **inextrem** » Fri Dec 22, 2023 11:54 pm

Neither.
Rock n'roll (and specially metal) is a young ppl game... we're too old for that shit and the noobs are terrible and simply don't care.

WOLF · Post by **WOLF** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:08 pm

KK’s band is cringeworthy. Metal for meatheads, who only think a band is good if every song is fast and heavy. Totally generic crap. They sound like they can be 100 other bands musically, and Ripper oversings everything. At least Priest has some variety and nuance… the two songs released from the upcoming album are great, as was Firepower.

Ozzy Stradlin · Post by **Ozzy Stradlin** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:52 pm

I probably would skip them both.
