KK Downing Felt Judas Priest Lost Their Spark

10/20/2014
. (Classic Rock) Former Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing says he misses being in the band, but doesn't regret his decision to leave. Downing, who had been with Preist since 1970, left the metal icons in 2011 and was replaced by Richie Faulkner.

And while his departure was put down to a breakdown in the working relationship with his bandmates, Downing now recalls not feeling "the spark" towards the end of his tenure.

He tells Digital Journal: "I felt that a lot of the spark wasn't there, for whatever reason, on stage. I felt I had it, but felt it wasn't what I originally signed up for. I always thought that Judas Priest should have been a high-energy outfit and ultra-sharp, but I wasn't enjoying it as much on stage as I should have been." Read more here.
