It's been more than 10 years since Richie Faulkner joined Judas Priest as one of the lead guitarists after KK Downing left the Heavy Metal band he once co-formed. And as with any line up change for a band of such status as Judas Priest has, the fan base's reaction to it has been rather mixed. Yet no matter to which camp you personally belong, the fact remains: for more than 10 years the Falcon has been rocking the stage together Metal Gods after his first official live appearance with Judas Priest on American Idol finale with James Durbin!
This episode is (hopefully) the first one in the Defenders of the Faith Series being dedicated to an individual band member rather than a studio album. And may even be the first one on Richie Faulkner alone, exploring only who Richie was BEFORE joining Judas Priest and how he came to be the guitarist of one of the greatest Heavy Metal bands of all times!
