I just want to say thank you for this vid, and all the wonderful music you made over the years. You have enriched my own life, and the lives of countless others. Thank you. :)
The Priest guitar sound was never the same when they ditched Marshall and went with a Rockman setup in the late 80s. Current sound is valve driven ,but too fuzzy and distorted. Listen to Unleashed in the East to hear classic Priest.
That was cool. Thanks for doing these vids and interacting with all of us. You inspired me (and countless others for sure) to pick up a guitar recently, and I can't thank you enough for that. See 'ya in San Francisco/San Jose this summer!
Come back 2 Priestt K.K! Not he same without u in the band. U r a great player and a HUGE inluence to me in my guitar playin. U and Gleen sound so great 2gether.
Just thought I'd say thanks for your contribution to my childhood memories of music, as I was growing up. Priest, Lizzy, Rainbow and the rest, it was a great time to be introduced to music.
@rickyjshiznit (from wikipedia) "If the fine tuners alone are not enough to tune guitar properly, the SpeedLoader bridge has range tuning screws, one for each string, that control the range of each fine tuner's action."
A huge part of his sound is in his use of very light strings. They give a sizzle that larger gauges don't give you. On the flip side it can make sounds on the bass strings little whisky
Thanks Ken, I grew up buying every album you guys ever made. Working as a young man for the next paycheck to get another priest cassette. Ya those. You guys are some of the nicest guys in music and thank you for it all. I was rather embarassed when you stuck your tounge in the V part of your guitar watching the Screaming for Vengeance tour Video with my mother around though. Peace...
So sad you've left JP KK. I first saw you play in 75 and was so looking forward to seeing you play in July,but unfortunately all good things come to an end one day :(
"You can change these strings in less than a minute...or so I'm told. I've never actually done it myself, I have guitar techs for that". Man I about pissed myself laughing when I heard that. Must be nice. No I still do it myself, I don't have roadies or techs.
I have always fancy having the two guitar greats guitars. Now that I have seen KK's models I wish to have one. The only thing I'm left-handed. Can that be arranged?
When can I meet your real Person Kenneth? I’m read your book and I know a lots about you, so I’m hoping maybe we could have a chance to meet each other, since now you’re not with Judas Priest, I’m have lots of questions to ask you 😁,
