Judas Priest: Ian Hill on ‘Shield of Pain’ Tour & ‘Painkiller’ Legacy

Metal Mayhem ROC welcomes Judas Priest founding bassist Ian Hill to discuss the band’s enduring legacy, the upcoming US “Shield of Pain” Tour with Alice Cooper and Corrosion of Conformity, and the 35th anniversary of Painkiller, a defining album in heavy metal history. Ian reflects on the 1990 Nevada legal trial, the addition of Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap to preserve the band’s iconic guitar sound, and how Judas Priest continues to evolve with deep cuts and fresh setlist changes. He shares memories from the early years, the 1983 US Festival, the Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens era and what it means to carry the torch after five decades of heavy metal dominance. https://metalmayhemroc.com/ Judas Priest Official Website: https://judaspriest.com Learn more about your ad choices.
