July 21, 2009, 15 years ago
JUDAS PRIEST guitar legend Glenn Tipton spoke with Adam Gold from Nashvillescene.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the Q&A; follow:
Glenn Tipton on Guitar Hero: "I've never played the game, but I think it's a great idea. I think that in this day and age when you get video games that advocate bad things like guns, violence, and drugs a lot, I think it's great to have these games based around musical instruments like the guitar and to encourage kids to pick up an instrument you know. I'm very much for that and it's a great way to introduce kids to our music. It's an excellent idea."
On a new generation of fans: "...we've been very fortunate that we've had a lot of young people coming to the shows and we've got the older Priest fans that have been there from day one and have been very loyal throughout the years, but we've got a lot of young kids in the audience and some are brought by the parents or turned on by the parents but others have discovered the band in their own right."
