May 17, 2010, 14 years ago
Darryl Sterdan of The Toronto Sun caught up with JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing to discuss the band's British Steel 30th Anniversary Edition, which includes a remastered version of the original nine-track disc, along with two bonus cuts and a DVD of the band performing the album in its entirety last year. An excerpt follows:
“We really had to regress and go back in time to do that,” admits Downing. “There were some songs on British Steel that we never played live. So we were a bit apprehensive to start with. We were wondering how it was going to go. But obviously, it was a neat thing to do. And as I think you’ll see on the DVD, it came out pretty damn good. The reception we got was amazing. To think that we would still be here 30 years on, and that there would be the demand for us to play this record in its entirety, that’s immensely rewarding.”To read the article in its entirety, click here.
