JUDAS PRIEST Guitarist Richie Faulkner - "I Was Learning How To Write Priest Songs Long Before I Joined The Band"
July 14, 2014, 3 years ago
Judas Priest's Glenn Tipton (guitars) and Richie Faulkner (guitars) are featured in a new interview with Guitar International's Robert Cavuoto, who talks to the guys about perspectives on the new CD (Redeemer Of Souls), as well as their insights into what solid teamwork, dedication, and love for metal can produce. An excerpt follows:
Q: When you sit down to write new material for Priest, how do you evolve as a band, yet stay true to Judas Priest's history and legacy?
Glenn Tipton: "We just sat down and wrote. We didn't consciously try and do a Priest album, which is surprising. Neither of us knew how it was going to work out. We knew that Richie blended in perfectly onstage, but we had no idea, how we were going to write together. It's like a miracle. We carried on writing the way we always have; bringing in ideas and then joining them together. Priest songs just emerge one after the other. We wrote about 19 to 20 songs."
Q: I'm assuming you brought that energy to writing and recording.
Richie Faulkner: "It's impossible for me to say, but from what I've heard from fans and the band, there seems to be some kind of renewed vigor. We didn't consciously want to go back and revisit any time period in the band's career. We just wanted to write from the heart – pure metal. The character of the band is so strong – the band's never lost it over the last four years in my opinion."
Q: I imagine that when you sit down to write for Priest, you have riffs stockpiled, was that the case?
Richie Faulkner: "All those riffs that you developed as a teenager which you can't play in your own band, because it sounds too much like Priest. Now you can bring it all forward. I listened to twin guitar bands like Priest, Sabbath, Thin Lizzie and Maiden for inspiration, to learn how write and convey emotion. I was learning how to write Priest songs long before I joined the band. So when I did join, it was a very natural process. The band came from progressive blues, and I've always been true to that music when I started playing guitar. So it was a very natural meshing."
Q: I understand that you didn't consciously go out to write a typical Priest album or try to repeat yourself in any way, but was there any Priest album that was used as a template or a gauge?
Glenn Tipton: "No, we didn't consciously sit down and try and relate songs from the past. There are elements that are similar to other songs, but that's where it ends. These songs stand alone in their own right, which is just the way we write. It's the natural things that come out of us and makes up Judas Priest songs. We're lucky that the formula works for us and is very recognizable."
Richie Faulkner: "You can give 13 new tracks to 13 fans and they'll all come up with, "Oh, that's something from this era or that year." And every one will be different. It's interesting to hear two people say different things about the same song and where it could be placed, or what it reminds them of in the band's career."

According to Billboard, Judas Priest could nab its first top 10 album ever on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry sources forecast the group's new set, Redeemer Of Souls to sell upwards of 30,000 copies in the week ending July 13th. The album is the band's 17th studio effort, and first since 2008's Nostradamus, which topped out at #11.

By Jennifer Weil on March 3, 2014 PARIS — The clothes in Elie Saab's fall 2014 collection and a Mark Rothko painting with burgundy and green-blue hues gave a cue for the makeup look of the show."I took the green-blue because I thought it was more flattering around the eyes," said Tom Pecheux. He added a bit of blush to cheeks, rosiness to lips and "a lot" of black mascara on top and bottom lashes, as well as eyeliner. "I love women with eyebrows," he said. Tresses were meant to be reminiscent of horses' manes."So [hair] has a beautiful quality, is thick, straight," said hairstylist Luigi Murenu.To get the texture, he applied Kérastase products, including Mousse Bouffante.

Hydrometallurgy 2018 marks the 8th installment of the leading international symposium series on hydrometallurgical topics. Presentations are welcomed that address any area of hydrometallurgy theory and practice, including but not limited to, leaching, solvent extraction, ion exchange, electrorefining, electrowinning, process control, precipitation, environmental issues, energy efficiency, recovery from secondary sources, by-product recovery, and modelling.
Within a defined technical scope, the 2018 Gordon Ritcey Symposium is seeking papers within the following topic areas:
New for Extraction 2018, this symposium will primarily focus on the processing of critical, green and/or strategic metals, with a secondary focus on end-user information. Metals that the symposium will specifically examine include (but are not limited to):
This technical scope of this symposium examines all aspects of sulfide smelting technology, including basic principles, technology, and current operating practice. Authors who are engaged in the analysis, development, and/or operation of high temperature processes that involve the production of metals, metalloids, and alloys through sulfide smelting are encouraged to contribute. Papers that describe innovative methods for achieving impurity separation and removal, by-product recovery, waste minimization, and/or energy efficiency of particular interest, as are those that address important technical, economic, and environmental issues.
New for 2018, the Peter Hayes Symposium is accepting abstracts within the following topic areas:
Presentations that offer valuable "lessons learned" are also of interest.
This new programming opportunity encompasses a variety of aspects impacting the flotation of base and precious metals. The focus is on practical applications, with each session designed to convene metallurgists, scientists and operators to discuss and address challenges facing the industry. Of particular interest are presentations examining the following technical themes:
Exclusive to Extraction 2018, this one-day symposium will provide the business context for the more meeting's specific technical symposia and presentations. The intent of the symposium is connect technical and non-technical professionals for discussion of current issues, and development of an improved understanding of each other's fields and challenges. Invited speakers will discuss the metal trading, the impact of impurities on tolling and refining charges, environmental regulations world-wide, protectionism, and an outlook to the future. Anyone in the commodities business, working in either the technical or commercial arena, will benefit from this provocative overview of developing business trends, as well as the networking opportunities with key players in the commodities industry.
