Holy hell you got the Ripper?! The man is awesome, you can feel the fact that he's a fan as much as a Rockstar himself 🤘
You're killing it, Razor.
Back in the 2000s, I produced a Judas Priest tribute album, in which Tim did the cover of Exciter. Couldn’t have been a nicer guy or more professional. I’m glad he’s doing well, he deserves all the success in the world.
Ripper's Scream and Ending to Diamonds and Rust... One of the Greatest Most Heart wrenching Beautiful Screams... Pouring Out His Soul and Everyone Feels His Emotion... \m/
What a pleasure to hear Tim is a humble guy!!! I’ve been a JP fan since Sad Wings, and what a gift Mr. Owens has in his voice and personality! Very grateful to learn deeper dimensions to the history of JP. Thank you Mr. Owens for your gift!! You are at the top of singer history!!!
Cool interview. Thanks.
I love both of these channels! Yours and Razors
Brad listening to Razor! The world is going to be ok!,,
@@Blimpus Indeed!
Hahaha brad! What are you doing here! Lol my man
Good to see ya yet again 😂
Thank you for this awesome interview with Tim Ripper Owens greatest heavy metal singer of all time
This was a great interview, thank you. Tim “Ripper” is a class act and so talented.
Tim Owens is in my opinion the most underrated vocalist out there
I'm relatively new to the Ripper material and just love Jugulator. Top 90's metal right there
He is no where near underrated. He gets plenty of credit for his singing
No one underrates him at all.
Tim Owens is the vocalist on 2 of my favorite metal records of all time, Jugulator and The Glorious Burden. As much as I will always love Rob Halford and Matt Barlow’s recorded contributions to those groups, it’s a testament to Ripper Owens that his albums not only didn’t suck, they have a life and a personality that are absolutely unique contributions to those bands catalogs. He was never a replacement singer, he was wholly unique and the albums he recorded became their own era. Love this man, love his contributions to metal.
Ripper Owens-era Iced Earth is legendary like his work in Judas Priest.
Far too short a time is the only downside to it.
The entirety of the Gettysburg trilogy is god tier
What would you know about Iced Earth.
Thousands more coming down the Chambersburg pike!!!!………
Agreed. But in retrospect, I fucking hate how both Priest and Iced Earth completely drowned Ripper out in needless fucking studio effects. Just let the dude sing FFS, lmao. Dude's got the most impressive pipes in metal history.
My copy of The Glorious Burden arrived while I was watching this.
Ripper seems like a really chill dude. Thanks for the interview Razor!
The Demolition album helped to get me through high school, and The Glorious Burden was just the thing to listen to as I was becoming more and more politically aware after 9/11. I fucking adore Tim Owens. Thank you, RazörFist, for bringing this to us, and being an interviewer who actually knows what the fuck he’s talking about. 🤘💀🤘
Glorious Burden is a masterpiece
@@mykuntstynx9463 Stupid politics killed a great band.
@@betornween
And as stupid as it appears to have been, I couldn't imagine Schaefer NOT being "there" on 1/6
Lol
Glorious Burden is hands down one of the best fucking Metal Albums in the planet
@@TheBayzent
Agreed
That CD was stuck in my player for over a year.
High Water Mark still brings tears...
Ripper rocks. I love the two he did with Priest. Ripper has done high quality work
It’s funny listening to this that it would seem Tim is just a normal guy that you could meet any day of the week. Normal, humble and just a cool dude. Little did you know you just met a fucking Ring Wraith! LONG LIVE RIPPER OWENS!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Alot of musicians are like that. Its a minority of them that are primadonna pricks.
Yes! Im from Monterrey, México, I saw Judas on 1997 here, opened Megadeth, Jugulator tour, and Tim is awesome person ! he visited another times the city, at last buy a departament here! jejeje
stupid fat hobbit made me laugh,,,
We need an Iced Earth episode of Metal Mythos. You're the only one with the guts to post it.
It was great to see Mr Owens get so in depth. Too many of the "interviews" are quick questions, no time to dig deep.
This was great.
I've been listening to Jugulator and Demolition pretty much non stop this past month (Jugulator was what got me into Priest when I was a kid) and damn, they're both really good shit. Then this appeared in my reccomended videos. Pretty cool to hear what Ripper's been up to!
My brother also got into priest because of Jugulator. He *had the baddest tattoo of halford on the mic, Glenn and kk, lightening coming down into their guitars crashing into the hammer and the anvil. May my beloved brother rest in paradise. I miss you J so very fucking much. Thank you for vibrating the sounds of the priest, as every time I turn them on I feel you through their music.
What are the odds that Tim 'Ripper' Owens and Blaze Bailey were both in bands with Bane in the name and then both went on to front rival bands in the 90s. Seriously, what are the odds? Like a million to one? If this was fiction, people would criticize the author for not being very original with the band names.
And then both get fired lol
Blaze Bayley and Ripper Owens were both plucked from obscurity, both only did two albums with their respective bands, both were underrated as well as both their albums were underrated, both of them were fired to bring back the more popular vocalists that they replaced…
It’s almost scary how similar they’re careers are.
I like his stuff with Iced Earth.
Nice job getting Tim Owens, Razor
I'm from the same area Tim is from. Hearing him mention Spawn is really cool. They were a seriously solid band.
Iced Earth took over my life in 2007. I was a sophomore in Highwchool. I'd later find that Marr Barlow would become my favorite vocalist of all time but it was The Glorious Burden and F.A. that really got me into the band. I will always have a level of respect for what Tim did with I.E.
Amazing interview. Thank you Razor.
First time I heard and saw Priest was Burn in Hell video, and I was stunned. I was maybe 12 back then, already heard some metal bands and everything. And that song, music was great, but Ripper's voice and charisma was what hooked me. Later I became singer in my own band and every band member choose a nickname to himself from one heavy metal celeb, I choose Ripper. Was a great time! Thank you Tim, later every album where you sang is pure awesomeness!
Tim's an awesome dude. Got Wendy Dio to send me a bunch of signed Ronnie James Dio stuff back when I was doing online radio dj-ing. Met up with him on Iced Earth's stop in Toronto on the Glorious World Tour. Hit that high pitched note in the middle of "Iced Earth" and I swear to God he held it for almost 3 minutes. One by one the band stopped playing and started laughing in amazement. Ripper simply rocks. Heart of a Killer was a fucking masterpiece. Cathedral Spires is the pinnacle of the Judas Priest song catalog. Gettysburg (1863) may be the most epic (and historically accurate) song ever composed in metal. The thing all these have in common - Tim "Ripper" Owens. Nuff said.
This is so awesome! Thanks a bunch for putting this interview together, Razorfist! And thank you so much for coming on Tim! Jugulator was one of the greatest Priest albums ever and no one can tell me different. 🤘🏻
Hell yes it was! I don’t know why the hell it’s not on iTunes.
To me it sounded like the band wanted to get their Pantera licks out of their systems. Maybe a little dig at Rob for his Fight albums too.
Went too Junior Hi and High School with Scott Travis.
He was into METAL then and is living his dream.
And this was during 72 through 76.
The schools were Campostella JR. and Gramby Hi.
Love the full length interview by a actual metal guy. Would LOVE to hear a interview with Jon Shafer of Iced Earth. Especially considering his undeniable and deeply held beliefs regarding the founding and direction of this country currently.
I unfortunately do not believe that Jon will be talking to anyone until there is a change in the oval office for fear of his plea deal being altered or changed to taking in public about what happened and what he thinks about the social issues facing this country.
I'm sure it would be a legendary hour of thoughtfull commentary with these two...
Man, Tim is a great guest. Honest and humble. What a professional! Can't wait to see KK's Priest here in the States.
Personally, I absolutely LOVE Framing Armageddon. Tim's vocals, the songs, the story, everything just hits me right in the feels.
I saw Judas Priest in Tokyo Japan on the Jugulator tour in '98. We were right in the front and after the show Tim came over to the edge of the stage, shook our hands and said thanks for coming. Killer show and I still have the tour book!! We had to be the only two Americans at the show.
Tim is a ripper of a singer and that beyond fear album is pure brilliance as is the 98 meltdown vocal performance 10/10
Every day that passes, I love your channel more and more! Excellent work Razor! God bless you and Ripper!
Tim Owens and Blaze Bayley shared the destiny of the hated and publicly blamed vocalist that were brave enough to fill in for their idols. It was an unbelievably difficult task, but they did their best and nobody of them failed imho. OK Ripper was better than Blaze to be honest, but Blaze is one of the humblest guys in the business. I attended 3 of his shows here in Czechia back in 2012, 16 and 2020 and thanked him for being Blaze Bayley and for filling in for Bruce. He was touched and thanked me for this one.
I was sold after watching him cover Abigail. Been a fan of Ripper and everything he's involved in ever since.
I saw Ripper with Iced Earth back in 2004, CincinnatiOhio. The Glorious Burden Tour. He was amazing. Absolutely killed it.
This would segue really nicely into an Iced Earth Metal Mythos ...
Man do I wish.
I second this!
Third this
sick!! major jelly Ripper got in w the Razorfist. Thanks for some Three Tremors love Hail and Kill! Sean Peck
Ripper has always been a down to earth person.hungout wth judas priest when jugulator came out. Still one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Ripper is still way underrated! \m/ awsome interview.
Saw Ripper about 10 years ago at Download Festival. He was on at the ungodly hour of about 11 o'clock in the morning and a fair crowd were there to see him. He was immense absolutely tore everyone's head of with that scream. An Absolute Legend. Does a fuckin brilliant job in KKs Preist and an absolute essential gig to attend. Metal Legend. 🤟🤟✊✊
Best interview of ripper ever! Thnk you! Iv been waiting for some1 to interview tim properly . a actual fan and musician got to ask the questions this time.
The Ripper! It was awesome that you were able to interview someone you admired for so long. Jugulator made me a fan for life! I'd love to hear Ripper cover some Stryper!
Back in about late 2017 I think it was(it might have been 2018).. Tim Ripper Owens did a gig/had a jam at Frankies Pizza in Sydney Australia. It's where we all used to hangout(the local Sydney Rock/metal crowd). I knew nothing about Tim Owens at the time.. Apart from that he had done two Priest records which I had heard way back. What I'm saying is I didn't know anything about his personality.. Having not seen an interview with him over the years. So.. I went along to the gig.
Ripper Owens took to the stage. I had no idea what to expect from him.. I was curious. He had stage presence.. Yet he was humble and professional.. Energetic and keen to Rock. The best way to describe it.. He had a laid back/calm/smooth Rockin/attitude.
I was most impressed. He sang passionately and with incredible range and different tones.. Lows and highs. Ripper Owens seriously kicked Ass that evening. He spoke well with the crowd. At one point saying.. "Hey.. This is a just a jam.. We are just jamming". I went home that night and listened to Demolition.. A revisit. Rockin.
Ripper is a legend! I remember seeing him the first time with judas priest in London on the jugulator tour.
I've seen him with many other bands including his solo. Always great and a such an amazing voice!
The ending credits had me keeling over.
"As if Google gave a g**damn" xD
I wish I lived in the alternate universe where Ripper never was kicked out of Iced Earth
The Iced Earth fanboys, I've always believed, were a BIG reason why.
The Barlow brigade is next-level autistic. (Not Matt Barlow's fault, he seems like a great guy. His fans are just nucking futs)
@@TheRageaholic I love Iced earth and Tim was fucking great with them. Damn those other fans must be proper retards
@@juliantheapostate8295 look at the metal archives reviews for The Glorious Burden, that'll give you a good idea on how retarded these people are. The same people who insist there's nothing worth hearing past Horror Show.
I admit I'm a Barlow/IE fan but I gave Glorious Burden a chance and it kicked my ass.
Just heard a few tracks off of K.K.'s Priest, right on Ripper Owens! Never heard of Winter's Bane, oh my Lord. That's some great sounding metal right there, going to go back and do a serious exploration of Tim's passes work.
Gotta get a copy of Heart of a Killer. It kills from beginning to end.
@@narcissus79 it's not? Damn. Ya know, I was trying to pull up some SAMHAIN the other day, and that's not on Spotify either.
Would love to see a Yngwie resurrection with you! Hails
That would be epic!
Helloween, Manowar, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray and Rhapsody of Fire Mythos would be awessome, Razorfist.
Primal Fear too
Iced earth Metal mythos MAKE IT SOOOO
Rhapsody!!! Legendary band
@@_69pegasus69_ Much forgotten in these dark days. Though Luca Turilli's current stuff is mindblowing!
More mythos in general, please. Had to unsub with all the gaming and politics. But I still rewatch those Metal Mythos videos to this day
Great stuff. Now I'm off to watch the priest mythos again!
I love this long form interview style! Thanks Razor!
Perhaps you might consider future conversations with:
Peter Tagtgren
Demonaz
Jason Newstead
Infernus
Andreas Kisser
Hoest
wow! you actually got that interview. thats crazy. Congratz!
If you are ever able to interview Mark Tornillo, or Udo Dirkschneider..that would be something
Yes and Dave Reece!
My all time favorite album with Ripper is Iced Earth's Glorious Burden especially the song Declaration Day
The Mythos is back! HELL YEAH!
His work with Tourniquet was fantastic and I'd love to see more of it.
Awesome job! First time I saw JP was with Ripper on the mic. Saw them at the Celebrity Theater with Flotsam and Jetsam opening here in Phoenix. They put on a great show that nigh. Ripper was a bit over the top with his name plastered all over his jacket. Found it funny as hell when you brought that up during the interview. Cool dude, love just about everything I’ve heard him on, including KK’s Priest. 🤘💀🤘
Ripper is a very close second for favorite singer for me. King Diamond will always be my number 1.
His voice being buried in the mix in the Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon album is that much more impressive when you listen to the title track. I think the last minute of that song is why they had to bury it a bit. If they had just unleashed Tim's full power he would have caused Armageddon by shattering the Earth like a bullet through a plexiglass window when we all cranked that shit up to 11.
You must of seen this then.... ua-cam.com/video/6AA1g_TM2Ik/v-deo.html
I first listened to Abigail only a year ago (I know). I couldn't believe it - every album has a weak spot. There must have been one.
Nope
Speaking of King Diamond, Tim did a live cover of Abigail a while back for Roadrunner United. Was damn good.
@@SvendleBerries I've heard that before. That cover is great
Metal Mythos: Running Wild. Make it happen.
Just heard the full KK's Priest album. Best thing since Angel of Retribution. Return of The Sentinel is easisly the best 'Judas Priest' song since they forged metal on the Painkiller vinyl. Whole album brings me back to everything that made JP great and is lost nowadays. Ferocious, hungry, stealthy and razorsharp. Oh man love that double guitar attack especially. Ripper also sounds awesome. It's like KK's is saying; "You think you know what Priest is about? Let me remind you how its properly done."
The man, the myth, The Rippah!
\m/
About damn time you got him on the show, Razor!
I am glad that I stumbled across this video. Now I have a list of some good metal!!
Ripper is awesome . Good as any front man out there .
I saw ripper Owens live. He was incredible.
I agree "Coffee with Yngwie Malmsteen" needs to be a show! Great interview! God Speed Razor!🤘
I’m ready for Coffee With Yngwie Malmsteen
Would have been "Coffee and Donuts" but we all know how that would end with Yngwie...
@@GorditoCrunch343
"You unleashed the fockin fury!"
Ripper's version of Diamonds And Rust is my favorite Priest version. Sorry Halford, but Ripper took the song to a whole new level.
Fantastic interview. I'm so happy you did this. Best of luck to Ripper going forward.
Ripper is so sick. Demolition is so underrated album, In Between is probably my favourite Priest song ever. Also, the Gettysburg trilogy from The Glorious Burden and 10.000 strong is up there with the best Iced Earth songs. PS: when a singer as accomplished and respected and talented as Ripper says in an interview "i still have to pay the electic bill", then you know its a sad, sad, sad world we live in.
Great interview! You're killin' it Razor!
I had no idea that Wendy Dio was Ripper's manager... if anyone knows about working with superb singers and charismatic frontmen, it's here... I can't believe Schaffer criticized Ripper about not fitting the frontman role better. That's baffling...
I don't think it's that baffling. He's not David Lee Roth, Dee Snider or Bruce Dickenson...
Good Job with the interview! RJ is a laid-back and cool guy. Thanks for keeping METAL alive and in the ears and minds of the younger generations. God fucking Speed! RF
I have been waiting for more Metal Mythos!!!
This episode needs over a million views. Share the fuck out of this!!
Wow!! I am so inspired by this and I needed this with what I’m going through! I always liked Ripper, but now he is my #1 singer hero of any genre!!
Me: I'm thankful I got to see Rob Halford on stage twice.
Razorfist: I see Rob Halford riding down the street every other day.
The PERFECT dude to do this interview. I hope he watches some of your previous work....so he knew he was dealing with a genius!
I discovered Iced Earth in high school when Glorious Burden was a year or two old, went to US army infantry OSUT at a weirdly late age (2020) and spent the "Eagle Run" (5 miles, 45mins) singing Gettysburg under my breath from memory.
I had no idea I.E. treated Ripper that way.
Have to agree about glorious burden, its so damn good
I sincerely hope this becomes a future trend for your channel...more interviews
Grew up on Original Priest and only paid serious attention to Ripper in past few years...
I missed out.
Serious vocal chops; A real singer who could hang as a replacement for Rob.
Said as a Halford fan.
Jugulator is one of my favorites from JP. And Cathedral Spires song is legendary
Bullet Train is merciless.
For the love of the craft, Ripper just radiates what it means to pour that much care into what you do.
I’m Canadian and never took offence to the pro American themes on Glorious Burden. A people were shocked and hurt.
Such a great album.
I'm Scottish and I love that album.
The only people who were offended were, and are, pricks
Such a foul race.
I am canadien
I made the mistakes of buying the german version of the album
And once again the germain erased the fun ...
Framing Armageddon is a criminally underrated album.
The title track is one of the best and most brutal things IE has ever done.
Amazing guy! I bought the Beyond Fear album in 2006 at a festival in Europe!
And 2 years later I saw Ripper Owens with Malmsteen at the same festival!
Tim actually did sing with Tourniquet, a famous Christian thrash band, for a short time
Wait. What? Seriously?!?! I love them.
@@59thfsaviation79 He sings on their last album Gazing at Medusa, though the title track is sung by Deen Castronovo.
I discovered Judas Priest through Demolition and I had it on constant replay. Upon discovering Rob's years it was yet another awesome journey. One of my most favourite bands along with W.A.S.P.
I first seen Tim Ripper Owens at Sadie Rene's in North Canton Ohio, The band was "US Metal" and his voice blew me away. Mid 80's I'm thinking....
Still hoping to get a Stace McLaren aftershock.
@Terror Trax Podcast It was weird, and a bummer to be sure. Poor Stace can't figure out how the kids work the computer things!
Sheepdog was great in Razor
Glorious burden is the best Iced Earth album
NO. 2 IN MY BOOK, NO. 1 4 ME IS THE DARK SAGA.
I still listen to “scream machine” from beyond fear on a regular basis.
Cathedral Spires & Close To You - Fav Ripper Songs.
Ripper - the screaming machine 🤘Nice interview! What a kind guy.
that was a great interview nice guy great pipes, really good interview skills "RAZORFIST"
NICE INTERVIEW keep it rolling brother, you are a great host to these rockers, I hope you get greater musicians, he is a great singer no doubt about it. cheerz brother "RF"
Great interview! I’ve been obsessed with KKs Priest recently. Their piano arrangements too!
Time to buy winter's bane albums now
Great interview! Have you heard of the Metal bad from Germany called Brainstorm? Been around awhile. And they have from what I can tell only been to the U.S. once. The have quite the discography!
Framing Armageddon is one of my favorite albums of all time. Trying to redo it with Matt Barlow was blasphemy.
Ripper is the man! great singer without a hint of LSD
