In this exclusive interview with the legend that is Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest, Elegant Weapons) we get a glimpse into what it’s like being in one of the most hard-rocking bands of all time, from one of the nicest men in rock ’n’ roll. Watch as Dinesh chats with guitarist Richie Faulkner about the audition process for Judas Priest, how Faulkner thought the call for the audition was fake, and how Glenn Tipton auditioned him for the role while making a cup of tea.
We also get to hear more about the Richie Faulkner Flying V Custom signature model (yes, he absolutely shreds on it), find out why he chooses to play Gibson guitars, and get a guide to the stompboxes he uses as he talks us through his favourite effects pedals to play live and in the studio.
In this Richie Faulkner interview, the guitarist also reveals the backstory of how he entered the world of session and live guitar performance, and explains why you don’t need to know theory to succeed as a session musician, and how it’s “what works for you” that makes the most difference.
Finally, Richie shares how the love from the Judas Priest fans, and playing guitar, helped him recover following his near-fatal onstage aortic aneurysm. As reported here: judaspriest.com/news/fullstor...
This is In Conversation With Richie Faulkner - complete with plenty of guitar playing!

Judas Priest has been my favorite band for 42 years. The band amazes me now as much as ever. Richie’s contributions helped the band gain its energy and they have been unstoppable! Firepower is a top 5 album for me. That’s saying a lot. Now with the new album I’m blown away. Father Time can’t stop Priest.

I have been epileptic for 8 years that was originally caused by a brain tumor that I had removed 5 years ago. Playing guitar has also gotten me through all of the difficult times in my life. I had my surgery on a Wednesday and was back home on Friday, I put Rory Gallagher’s Irish Tour ‘74 on my record player and started playing along with it as soon as I got back to my room.

@bryantcochran5065 10 месяцев назад

What a great interview, Ritchie is so generous to give so many tips on how to make it in the music industry. I really appreciate his use of just a few pedals, he and I seem to think alike in that respect, using only what you need effects wise, no myriad loaded, massive pedal board required to sound great.

and he joins a band and continues playing some one else's music for over a decade now over top of the past. I wouldn't turn it down though. I'm sure he is very well paid hired gun. At east he now has the chance to write with these guys and earn some royalties.

@colebryant2796 8 месяцев назад

The last album where he wrote loads of the riffs, and pretty much all the solos, was one of their very best. Don’t be silly.

@MrLBPug 7 месяцев назад

The 'hired gun' aspect counts more for Andy Sneap, who stands in for Glen Tipton during concerts. Glen can't really tour any more, let alone play full shows, due to his Parkinson's. Andy is a renowned record producer, of course, so he isn't exactly lacking in work. Playing guitar for Priest is a fun side-job for him. Richie is a full-on band member, which is a big difference.

@monmixer 6 месяцев назад

@@colebryant2796 Silly, what did I just say. Can you READ

@AWMJoeyjoejoe 6 месяцев назад

If he's writing with them he's not a hired gun. You contradict yourself.

@monmixer 6 месяцев назад

@@AWMJoeyjoejoe Writing gives you royalty checks when a record is sold. Even then sometimes that is negotiated with the stronger artists in the creative process gets a larger percentage. A hired gun gets a flat rate for playing gigs. Not an even cut. I have worked in live entertainment my entire adult life and some of of late teen years. I'm 65. I know what I'm talking about I assure you. You are welcome to think what ever you want to though.

@monmixer 11 месяцев назад

Yea it sux when you start playing to an empty bar and by the end of the first set it's still damn near empty. ar bands have a lot of competition and not just other bands. Especially sporting events on tv, locally or what ever. We booked a big club here in our town during the holiday season in the USA and it was a Saturday night to boot and it just happens the states college football team was in the big game to put them into the national championship game and we were lucky to have 40 people there. Everyone was watching the game some where. No football party, no crowd. You can't even predetermine that shit because nobody knows who is going to be in the big games until the season is close to over and your gig is already booked. We were good with a great following to. Our close crowd was there and that was the 40 or 50. No regs or walk ins or any one just wanting to hear some asskickin rock.

Playing gigs can be tough sometimes, for sure! Those who know, know. Thanks for watching !

@remingtonsteele3581 5 месяцев назад

I want a gibson RF Flying V but 12K AUD? It’s a a lot. My friend is top guitar Luthier/ builder and he wonders where the cost is… I would I’ve to know what the price gap is from Gibson wholesale, to the distributors/ importers margin, retailers margin on top of that etc 😢 it’s still wood and steel with a solid colour paint job.

@user-lv7ph7hs7l 2 месяца назад

There is an Epiphone version and custom shop guitars are always expensive. Kirk Hammet V is 15k... I will build my own. There are 58 style kits with fully bound neck, headstock and body. The pickguard is just a double 58, truss rod cover is standard LP style, Floyd Rose plus locking nut, pelham blue, done. Just Google Flying V kits and you can find them for 200 bucks or so, Tonerider Alnico 2 or 4, 100 bucks, nitro paint 100, hardware plus FR 100-200, additional stuff 50 bucks, so 500-750 bucks to make your own nitro finished like a Gibson. Lots of videos on YT on how to do that. StewMax has a 5 hour series. If you do no woodwork at all you might need additional stuff call it 100 bucks in sandpaper and polishing pads and some sort of cheapo orbital sander for 30 bucks or used. And you will learn how to do it, so the second one will be even better.

@user-lv7ph7hs7l 2 месяца назад

Or more authentic EMG Fat 55 pickups. Oh yeah if your friend is a luthier just show him my comment and he can build you one. For a luthier assembling a kit is a weekend job. But I still recommend you watch him do it or do ut yourself but he can keep an eye on you and help out. That way you learn best and he will have all the tools you need, that can be expensive. Also the kits don't always have the best fret jobs, he can level them for you and show you how to polish them, so your guitar will play and feel like a custom shop! PANGO music have the kits I mentioned that are badically Richie Faulkner Vs. 58 but full binding. They are not designed for a Floyd Rose so you need to route that out, best let your friend so that he will have a router and experience.
