Tim Ripper Owens!

[Sanitarium_55]

I don't know if that many people are familiar with this phenomenal artist. He replaced the lead singers for Judas Priest and Iced Earth for a while. Then went onto solo career, he's worked with Yngwie Malmsteen on one album before. He then joined a band named, Beyond Fear which everyone should check out their an awsome band! Anways he just recently released a solo album that's one of his best work yet he has many guest artists such as,  Bob Kulick, Chris Caffery (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Mike Callahan (ex-Earshot) and John Comprix (Beyond Fear, Ringworm).  

The list of guest  musicians  featured on Owens solo debut is even more spectacular: along with Bob Kulick and Chris Caffery and the others, he was supported by the guitarists Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), Michael Wilton (Queensryche), Jeff Loomis (Nevermore), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), bassists Marco Mendoza (ex-Whitesnake), Billy Sheehan (Mr Big, ex-David Lee Roth), Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), Rudy Sarzo (Dio, ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Quiet Riot), James  Lomenzo (Megadeth), Tony Franklin (ex-Blue Murder), Dennis Hayes (Beyond Fear) and drummers Simon Wright (ex-AC/DC, Dio), Vinny Appice (Heaven & Hell), Ray Luzier (Korn), Bobby Jarzombek (Riot, Halford), and Brett Chassen.

I like Owens..

[Detective_Jormungandr]

He's good, I like him, he's not as good as other frontmen, he has never produced an outstanding album except maybe with Yngwie?

My judgement is based upon his Iced Earth time rather than his Priest time

I don't care for his voice personally. He always had some big shoes to fill and never quite filled them well enough.

That said, his boot from Iced Earth was in poor form on John's part. Very shitty thing to do.
