It’s ridiculous to me that Judas Priest continues without any of their original guitarists and it would have been perfect for KK to step back into the band when Glen stepped down. It’s disheartening to see musicians treating each other so poorly

I would never see priests without KK in it grandma and I would certainly never see Motley Crue without Mick Mars in it, because aside from Tommy, he's really the only great musician in the band. Crew would have never amounted to anything great without Mick Mars come on Priest would have never been anything without KK…

Vince,Tommy and Nikki would have a good circle jerk without Mick Mars. Mick carried that band. Like his child. The rest of the band are showing their true colors in the color of green. Spank their asses. The little B!TCHES !!!

If you're one of the people who doubts KK, you should look up the interview of when Rob left. He admitted he avoided confrontations and that's why he was out of the band for so long. He was afraid to contact them and say he didn't intend to leave permanently, and said management stonewalled him.
He also mentions there were issues with glen and KK, and there are also interviews where Les Binks, their former drummer, and even Richie Faulkner, admit Glen's a dominating control freak.

Judas Priest doesnt sound like Judas Priest anymore. for like 4 albums now they are like a totally different creature. on the other hand as far as KK that was a pretty crappy move to leave the band right as they were going on tour. and now he wants back in. I wish they would let him but he's probably difficult.

Rob Halford is a great singer, but without Priest, he was just another good singer. Didnt like any of his solo work when he left the band, goes to show he would have been nothing like he is without them. KK is the longest member of the band and to some the better guitar player. The rumors are that Halford is a rapist anyways, drugged Warrants deceased singer and raped him, no way I could go and support JP with Halford as the front man.

Mick Mars is/was/will always be the best guitarist for Motley Crue. The perfect foil for Nikki's songwriting IMO.

Halford and Glen have to retire. Allow Ripper Owens to lead the band. Period end of story.

I really wish these guys could work things out , Judas Priest as it is now I wouldn’t go without KK or Glenn it just doesn’t feel like the band I grew up listening to, if KK were brought back the buzz would be incredible and I would bet every show would be sold out , Ritchie on one side KK on the other dual flying V’s I really wish and hope this will happen and if it does I’ll be going to a show and probably two that’s a must see concert , I have no interest in seeing the band as it is tbh it doesn’t feel like Judas Priest imo .

Jane Andrews sux… Even in the early 2000s. She always had some kind of s*** to throw in the band that would cause a situation.. which they should have did was fired the manager got somebody new and maybe all this wouldn't have happened.. I don't blame KK for stepping down he did the right thing. And even in his seventies he's still kicking ass.

Plot twist, K.K. returns and the band keeps all THREE guitarists! (Like Iron Maiden). We can dream.

To me Judas Priest without K.K. Downing was like KISS without Ace Frehley. and now with Motley Crue without Mick Mars is even worse thing

Let's be frank: both Motley Crue and Judy's Priest are now just cabaret acts.
They are karaoke. They should have hung up the gloves over a decade ago, if not by the early 2000s.
Then each artist should have used the new freedom and freshness to go onto new chapters in their musical careers.
Many did. But then, due to money and knowing they could make an easy few million each for a world tour, they kept going…it's sad.

I've been a guitarist in bands since the early 90s. One thing I can say about bands in general and they never really understand the value of the contribution guitarists make to a band. I carried all of the bands I've been in musically. I'm the one memorizing all of the changes I'm the one cuing everyone on changes and endings because everyone else is a lazy bum. The guitarist has to remember every little note including a complex solo while the rest of the band laze around and work off of cues from the singer and guitarist. The singer is a slacker that never wants to do anything but sing doesn't help with gear doesn't own gear doesn't do shit. Bass player stands around all night making playing one note look hard. The vast majority of drummers just plain suck. Not much else to say. Your band is about the guitarist and the singer. The guitarist is the guy that's going to stick with the project through many different band members. Guitarists IMO never get the respect they deserve unless they're Slash or Yngwie. If it wasn't for the guitarist and the singer the rest of you worthless fucks would never see the bright lights of a stage. This is especially true for a band like Motley Crue. Mick wrote all those catchy riffs and spawned what you might call a melody but was actually the sound of Vince Neil trying to sing but failing miserably. Mick's guitar playing and the sound of Vinces voice are Motley Crue. Nikki is the biggest douchebag alive in rock today. Tommy is just Tommy he's a great basic drummer that get's the job done but has been replaced by a little girl so he's worthless at the end of the day. Now they're using backing tracks? Kiss are old enough to be their grandparents they kind of get a pass but Motley using backing tracks is ghey. Commercial rock music has always been a joke. Kinda missing the old VH with Dave and Blizzard of Ozz. Those were the days…

KK’s Priest is doing better music then Judas Priest now
@TimothySchulting
January 9, 2026 at 10:02 pm
KKs Priest is dropping their second album soon. The first was killer power metal. Check it for yourselves. Mick Mars guitar tone was the only thing I found that kept me listening to Motley Crue at all. Motley Crue is not a band that has toured at different times with all 4 members out of the band. Mick Needs to make his own music and kick their dust off his feet, He also needs to sue the hell out of them for every dime he deserves.

You know sometimes the people that you know for a lifetime are the ones that hurt you the most,colder than a block of ice.There is nothing much that you can't do about it.The truth about the truth is,that the truth in our world is like a stranger and that goes from A – Z▪Maybe apart from KK 'S Priest,it would be a great Idea if KK Downing & Ritchie Faulkner should make an Album together for the love of heavy metal,that would be interesting and….Do you know what I'm talking about ?
