Richie Faulkner is Louder Than Life in a renewed, inspired Judas Priest —
Richie Faulkner’s modest as he tries to gracefully deflect flattering comments aimed at him by Judas Priest front-man and the metal god himself, Rob Halford. Many, including Halford point to Faulkner as a key reason Judas Priest is still a viable band. It’s been three years since he joined the band on what was supposed to be a farewell tour. Instead of being an ending, the Epitaph tour was a new beginning. From inadvertently blowing off invitations to join the band, to recording with Tipton and Halford, Judas Priest guitar-slinger, Richie Faulkner has a comfortable conversation with Hard Rock Haven’s Chris A. about joining Judas Priest, recording the new Redeemer of Souls album, and performing at one of America’s newest rock festivals, The Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Kentucky.
