EX-JUDAS PRIEST SINGER RIPPER OWENS ON AVANTASIA
About the collaboration Tobias has to say the following: "I had this pretty heavy riff monster and I remembered a Judas Priest live-album with "the new singer" on vocals. I listened again and when I heard him sing "Metal Gods" and "Painkiller" I knew that this was the voice I so desperately needed for the song. Tim is a cool guy and a scream machine. He makes his voice spit out the most aggressive high notes I have ever heard, while fully controlling it. I am so proud of the heaviest Metal tune I have written so far, and Tim has turned a good Heavy Metal song into the ultimate Heavy Metal Monster!"
Photos of Tim in the studio can be seen in the backstage section.
Hell Yeah man. I can't wait to hear that. The ripper has been awesome in all of the bands he has been in. Great choice. I totally agree with Casi there. It is too bad that he isn't appreciated like he should be.
That's going to be awesome! Ripper rules
OH MY GOD! Ripper? Who's next? Dickinson? Soto? Great choice!
I love his voice in the album Metal Melt Down...
Especially.. Diamonds And Rust.
..WOW !!!....I wonder.............
this line up just keeps getting better and better!!!
..Tobi and Avantasia never cease to amaze me !..
'Eillo Robby xD. New Avantasia album should kick ass, can't wait to hear Ripper's parts. Nice to hear some classics and greats on the albums.
