Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest joins Metal Mayhem ROC to break down Elegant Weapons and their new album Evolution. Faulkner shares the story behind a track originally brought into a Priest session—sung by Rob Halford but left off the record—that ultimately found its place on this release, highlighting the creative link between both worlds. The conversation covers how Evolution builds on Horns for a Halo, the current lineup with Ronnie Romero, Dave Rimmer, and Christopher Williams, and the studio dynamic with Andy Sneap.

We discuss some of the guests on it, as well as some particular guitars he used. By the way, if you listen to YouTube, Richie has written descriptions of each song. Pretty cool to hear about these tracks right from Richie himself. We also chatted about the upcoming Judas Priest documentary, The Ballad Of Judas Priest.

Nella nuova puntata di Metalitalia Podcast (stagione 6, episodio 28) torniamo sull'argomento già affrontato delle reunion forzate e della necessità degli artisti stessi di proseguire anche quando l'anagrafe e il buon senso suggerirebbero altre strade.Le recenti dichiarazioni di Richie Faulkner dei Judas Priest, di Andreas Kisser dei Sepultura, di Steve Harris degli Iron Maiden, o ancora la cancellazione forzata del tour degli Scorpions in India, hanno rinfocolato le polemiche tra i fan: conviene continuare a fare concerti quando le forze rimaste ai membri di una band storica non sono certamente più quelle degli esordi?Ha veramente senso annunciare tour di addio per poi proseguire a esibirsi come se niente fosse? E inoltre siamo sicuri che i fan vogliano continuare a spendere cifre sempre più alte per assistere a spettacoli potenzialmente deludenti?Da qualche tempo il METALITALIA PODCAST si trova all'interno del nostro PUB virtuale che trasmette rigorosamente dal vivo sulle nostre piattaforme social. Ci trovate live quindi su YouTube, Facebook e Instagram e – al termine dello streaming – su Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, Deezer, Spreaker e molti altri.

Guitarist Richie Faulkner joins me today on Talkin' Rock. We started by talking about his latest birthday celebration on January 1st.  We talked about his relationship with his father-in-law, guitar legend George Lynch. "George is an incredible player....not only incredible but a unique player," he said. I asked him if he's floated him any tracks off upcoming projects.  He said he hadn't, but "He's a great resource....he's great to get information and experiences from." As far as the new Judas Priest album is concerned, Richie talked a lot about it. He mentioned that following up on a record like "Firepower" that did so well, it's a healthy challenge.  He talks about the song "Panic Attack". That song includes two solos on that one track. He talks about the complexity of that song, along with other ones on the albums. He said the album is somewhat more "progressive", but not really in the way you might think. "The record takes on its own character by itself."  As far as input Richie has on the writing and recording, he said everyone chips in. There are 11 tracks on the album, with three bonus tracks on available copies. He said there's no real moment of any sort of ballad on "Invisible Shield", which drops on March 8th.  He also spoke to respecting the band's vast history, and the fanship they have. "You have to produce to 1,000% of your ability." He said he never takes it for granted and what an honor it is to be in the band.  He also gave an update as far as guitarist Glenn Tipton with his Parkinsons. "We had his mind involved, we had his creative mind involved and that's part of the reason it makes it Judas Priest." We also discussed songs he loves to play on stage nightly, the first albums he bought, and, his health much more.  It's always great to talk with Richie, and this time was no different. 

On this episode of The Eddie Trunk Podcast, Eddie is bringing you his SiriusXM Trunk Nation Power Trip Special, where he was backstage at October's Power Trip festival and spoke with Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain and Rod Smallwood, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan, Ian Hill and Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest, and Metallica's Lars Ulrich, as well as other special guests in attendance, Skid Row's Scotti Hill, and The Black Crowes' Chris Robinson.

Dave and Shane welcome you to their full exclusive interview with founding #JudasPriest legend #KKDowning, who discusses his new #KKsPriest album #TheSinnerRidesAgain! We also talk about his love of #JimiHendrix, why he says Judas Priest won't let him back in the band, what it was like meeting his replacement #RichieFaulkner and playing with him and Priest at the #RockHall induction, plus much more!

On this week's show, we're joined by melodic rock Vocalist Ronnie Romero, an artist who got his name on the heavy metal map debuting as Singer of Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, followed by an extensive stint with Michael Schenker.  Raised in Chile, lived in Spain, and now resides in Romania, he is truly a Global musician & hands down is the hardest working man in the rock business! In 2023 alone he released his second all-covers album, toured Europe with the Rock Meets Classic ensemble, plus the band he co-leads with Richie Faulkner, Elegant Weapons, released their debut album & toured the European Summer festival circuit. And if that wasn't enough, he's just released his brand-new solo album “Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters”, a labor of love Ronnie put all of his heart & soul into!   In this episode Ronnie shares a lot about his intentions for 2023 and in the future, as he takes his first big step into taking on all aspects of his musical career on his own, from the song writing to the producing, managing of his Brand, etc. & we take an in-depth look at the songs on the new album. Also, he talks all about the overwhelming response received from playing the new Elegant Weapons material to massive audiences, many who had likely never heard a song before & impromptu approach in selecting cover songs to add to the setlist. Ronnie reveals just how he got into music (it was a family affair, as his Grandfather led a Big Band Orchestra & his Dad was the Crooner), the privilege of working with so many major artists in such a short period of his career, and how he's been able to put out so much material in the last 10 years.  In addition, we hear about his passion for CD shopping (something he still does on a regular basis as he travels the globe!), his philosophy for only picking deep cuts for his latest covers albums, how his wife ended up as the Model on the album covers, and he reveals a big answer to an important question sent in from a Listener about the future of Elegant Weapons. And of course, we couldn't leave the conversation without talking about his experiences and impressions of both guitar gods (Blackmore & Schenker), as Ronnie reflects back on just what he learned from his mentors, plus he's sharing a great story of his time playing soccer with the Rainbow crew. Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC. Thank you for the support and remember to always KEEP IT HEAVY!

Nashville has long been the hub for all things country music but in the last two decades, transplant rockers like Jack White, the Black Keys, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Judas Priest's Richie Faulkner and others, have all have made the 615 home. Adding to its growth is the organic blossoms generated via the rock block, cultivating names like Paramore, All Them Witches, Bully, Moon Taxi, The Wild Feathers, The Band Camino, and the guitar extraordinaires that make up Diarrhea Planet.We got caught up with the semi-retired fearsome foursome for their first headlining performance at the Ryman Auditorium ahead of their return to Bonnaroo. We covered why neck humbuckers are useless (but neck dives rule), how the whole band was gifted Klon KTRs, and what each shredator does to stand in and out among their collective guitarmegeddon.Brought to you by D'Addario dBud Earplugs.

This "Paltrocast" features interviews with Judas Priest's Richie Faulkner, Tony Award winner and 3-time GRAMMY nominee Melba Moore, and IMPACT Wrestling star Dirty Dango. Theme song by Steve Schiltz.

Interview aired the weekend of 6/16/23

Discover Where the Money's Hiding in the Music Business in 2023: https://MusicReboot.com On this Richie Faulkner interview: Surviving a near death experience and the changes he's made as a result… Why it's EASY to share joy on stage, the almost-missed opportunity to join Judas Priest, working with Sir Christopher Lee, his TOP 3 Musical Experiences (VERY cool!), Being able to see the good in everything, Backstories to the songs on his latest Elegant Weapons LP, Horns for a Halo… Saying “YES” in Glenn Tipton's kitchen over a cup of tea, an interesting hobby of his…  and why OPPORTUNITIES come and go & YOU'RE EITHER READY for them… OR NOT. Lovely, relaxed guy! Support this show: https://www.everyonelovesguitar.com/support Richie's most well-known for being one of the guitarists in Judas Priest. He replaced KK Downing after he left the band in 2011. Richie has a new project of his own, called Elegant Weapons, and the band just released their first LP called Horns for a Halo. I listened to the LP and it's fantastic - it's a great representation of what I'd call original British heavy metal music of the 80's and 90's. High energy yet melodic songs you can actually sing and hum along with. If this is your first introduction to Richie's playing, you're going to find him to be an intelligent and extremely creative player whose technical skills are equally matched by his sense of melody. Other things I'd encourage you to watch and listen to, to check out Richie is the track You've Got Another Thing Coming from the Judas Priest DVD, Epitaph - which is actually on Apple Music. Richie performs a 3 minute solo on stage all alone and it's freaking awesome. Like, “goosebumps” awesome.

What an honor to have Richie Faulkner on Talkin' Rock. This is the first time I've had a chance to talk to the metal guitarist. His new project is called Elegant Weapons and their debut album drops on May 26th. The band features him, Ronnie Romero on vocals, Rex Brown (Pantera) on bass, and Scott Travis (Judas Priest) on drums. The band also features different players including Christopher Williams on drums and Dave Rimmer on bass. He told me about putting the band together, why the timing was right, and getting each player. As far as getting Rex, Scott and Ronnie on the album, Richie said "I'm super fortunate to have these guys on the record." He told me about asking these legends to record with him. Speaking of Rex Brown, I asked Richie if he ever talked about joining Pantera. "To me there was only one guy who could do that, that's Zakk." He told me about never seeing the Cowboys From Hell live. That brought on an unbelievable Ouija board story. LOL He talked about the writing process in both Elegant Weapons and Judas Priest. "Rob has to connect with it" in respect to the lyrics. He gives an update on new Priest "As far as recoding it's almost done. I can't wait for you guys to hear it." Now, working on his third album with the band, he tells me about his comfort level in the band. He also talks about Andy Sneap and his ability to pull the best out of the guys. We talk about the Flying V guitar he uses. He gives me a health update after his emergency heart surgery a couple years ago. "The guitar, and touring and these records have gotten me through." "The Reaper was on stage that night." I'm glad Richie won that battle. He also fills us in on how Glenn Tipton is doing. He also told the me song that not only turned him into a music fan, but made him fall in love with guitar....and more! -Meltdown- https://wrif.com/podcasts/talkin-rock-with-meltdown/
