Rob Halford Open to Singing Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens Era Judas Priest Songs

Judas Priest will be celebrating their 50th anniversary next year. It's expected that the trend of rarities entering the set list will continue in 2020 and now Rob Halford has even opened the door for tracks from the Tim 'Ripper' Owens era of the band to finally be played onstage for the first time since the Metal God rejoined Priest in 2003.

In recent years, Ripper has decried the lack of representation from the two Judas Priest records he sang on during his time fronting the band from 1996 through 2003. Since Halford's return, Priest have not played a single song off 1997's Jugulator and 2001's Demolition (per setlist.fm) and, at the time of this post, Jugulator isa distress call from a transport ship trapped in the ribbon. It was the ship's maiden voyage but it was missing several positions, parts and equipment, it had no medical staff, no tractor beam and no photon torpedoes. This was the last time former Captain James T. Kirk (now retired) was to be on Starship. After enabling the Enterprise to escape the ribbon (after it completed it's rescue it became tapped itself) the deck where Kirk was suffered a hull breach and Kirk was swept out into the ribbon.
