March 4, 2010, 14 years ago
JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing answered a number of fan questions on his Steel Mill website recently.
When asked if he keeps in touch with former (1970-1973) Judas Priest singer Al Atkins, Downing responded: "Yes I do see Al from time to time. As for why people part company, there can be a multitude of reasons but as you say the reasons aren't always that clear."
About performing some of their older classics such as the rarely heard Rocka Rolla album, Downing says: "I agree it would be cool to do some of those songs again. We all loved the songs but were disappointed with the production also. It actually sounded great until the record was cut.
About Judas Priest re-recording some of their older classics from the Gull label era - including their 1974 debut album Rocka Rolla and 1975 follow-up Sad Wings of Destiny - Downing remarked, "anything is possible."
