Guitarist Richie Faulkner recently had a conversation with Canada’s The Metal Voice, where he was asked what he thinks if Judas Priest will reunite with K.K. Downing.
Here’s what the guitarist replied:
“I don’t know. It’s not my relationship. I think it goes beyond the music. There’s some stuff there that’s obviously personal, and it’s not my fight; it’s not my relationship. I think if it was purely music or business, then maybe it could be a money thing or it could be a creative thing, but I think it goes beyond that.
”And it’s up to the guys, really, it’s up to the guys to sort of find out what that is, or not. They don’t have to, there’s no obligation for them. It’s up to them.
“I’ve said it before, if it had ended differently, we might be in a different situation now,” he continued. But that’s just not the way it ended and that’s not where we are now.
“I don’t know what it would take to patch that up, but it’s been 10 years of weirdness, really. It’s been a bit unnecessary. And I said this the other week, really, and I hate to repeat myself, but they were brothers for 40 years.
”And I think, music aside, pick up the phone and have a chat, have a pint down the pub and just catch up and be buddies again more than anything else. But as I said before, it’s not my relationship to nurture, really; it’s up to them to handle.
“Obviously, it goes without saying, if Ken ever came back, I’d be willing to move over or do whatever it takes. It’s Judas Priest. I’d be willing to get out or move over or wear a funny hat, or whatever it needs to do. But as I said, it’s not my relationship to take care of, really.”
