Former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing has responded to his ex-bandmate Rob Halford in which he said he wanted to “clarify” his original comments as he felt that “parts” of them were “regretfully misinterpreted.”

Downing said: “Just to clarify that my complimenting Andy Sneap as I did was no more than I would have said about any other guitar-playing producers that have also contributed much more than expected to our past albums. Great talent such as Chris Tsangarides (R.I.P) and Roy Zboth not only produced, but also contributed song ideas, riffs and licks, lyric ideas etc. Consequently, albums like ‘Painkiller’ and ‘Angel Of Retribution’ would not have been the same without them. Even George Martin, I believe, provided much more for THE BEATLES than just the role of a normal producer. An extra musician in the studio, like the aforementioned talented producers, really does bring a great benefit.”
