@@Stevo_Drums You do realise this comment is 7 years old right? This is when he was quite new to the scene, and damn well doing a great job at the start.
I saw Priest a couple months ago and I remember thinking it's to bad KK isn't with them. I couldn't keep my eyes of this Faulkner kid. So energetic and appreciative to be part of Priest. It was cool watching Glen sit back and give the kid the spotlight. I came away really impressed.
Richie is not underrated guitarist, in fact he is very much appreciated guitarist. He enjoys his time with Judas priest and shouldn't be compared to K K Downing as he is unique and one of his kind. His skills are incredible and he learned that through his own hard work. Richie you are awesome, very talented musician
I don't care of which is better between KK and Faulkner, they are both amazing, just different. KK was a killing machine, but Ritchie gots his own style, and he's really an incredible guitarist.
According to an interview Priest did fairly recently, one of Richie/Rob/Glenn, actually said that this exact solo in the video we're watching inspired the main riff for "Spectre" off Firepower, and I imagine that this portion of the solo is where they took the individual notes and reworked it for Spectre
He is s great player. Articulate and understands that he does not need to over saturate his tone. Really nice licks in there. A great fit for this great band. How anyone can think otherwise is beyond me.
Ah yes, this was the very first I had ever seen of Richie. I was sour grapes at first. Aint nobody going to take KK's place!! (I'm an old dude, The Priest was the band that got me into music back in the very early 80's. Okay, I guess I'll see about this Richie kid, I thought. After watching this solo of his, I was SOLD. So much style, but humble at the same time. He keeps that Priest history sacred, but also brings his own flair to the band. Safe to say I'm a huge Faulkner (or Falconer, as Rob calls him) fan.
Ozzy should definitely make his next album with Richie on guitar. Now that would be awesome. Someone please introduce Richie and Ozzy. Watt can stay as a sound engineer. He did his shot.
loll haters gonna hate is playing is really smooth and clean everybody talk shit about is a copy of rhoads or wylde but no one can even dream about getting a gig like this so keep calm and shred your pathetic life :) and ohhh remember zakk and rhoads have influences like hendrix and other and no one talk shit about it !!!
1:01 i swear to god i thought that was kk it made me cry as a huge kk fan it gave me chills richie has surpassed him but he will always be missed in priest
No robot shit in here... Not only a virtuosic presentstion with a classic style and influences but raw energy and heart as true rock and metal should be.
I just caught this concert on Palladia last night and holy crap, does this guy rule or what? I had to come to YT and see if I could find this solo again. Wow.
Working on creating some tabs for this one. Anyone else doing it and like to share their work? Only got it on paper so far and nowhere near complete. Need the part from 1:25 and onwards.Cheers. Made a quick mind map gp5 file. Nothing but tabs laid out, but a great start for y'all. This is for 1:00-1:30 part. s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=71712584516517682209
+LukeInside Hi. Yeah, just download guitarpro and select "New tab". After that it's everyman for himself. I know very little about GP so i'm not very good at creating tabs.
