[needforspeed]

Judas Priest founding member and Guitarist Glen Tipton is stepping down from The upcoming Firepower tour, Due to Parkinson's Decease. While contributing to the full album, He states he is no longer able to play the complicated riffs in a live setting.

Heavy Metal Guitarist and producer Andy Sneap will take over, With the heavy workload switched to co-Guitarist Ritchie Faulkner. Tipton insisted the tour move forward. Farewell to one of the great players, And especially soloists to ever strap on a guitar.

WOW. Another gone.

Seems more and more guys I grew up with are fading away. Need to be reminded not a spring chicken anymore. Thankfully we have the albums

I took my 11 year old niece to the Defenders of the Faith Tour, more leather there than a cattle auction. Great show though.
