Ex-JUDAS PRIEST-Frontmann Rob Halford hat zurückgeschossen, nachdem ihm sein Nachfolger bei Priest, Tim „Ripper“ Owens, im französischen Rock Hard Magazin vorgeworfen hat, er wäre nur zu seinen Metal-Roots zurückgekehrt, um mit der wieder erstarkten Popularität des Metal Geld zu machen und sein Gesicht wegen des kommerziellen Misserfolges seiner Projekte FIGHT und TWO nicht ganz zu verlieren. Hier sein Staement: „I don’t consider it that I turned my back to metal with FIGHT and TWO,“ Rob told . „It is a very negative way to see things. I look at it [FIGHT and TWO] as a necessary moment in my career that helped me find my way back. It’s like, if you go to the same place for a vacation each time, when you get there you know you’re gonna feel comfortable. Then you say one year, ‚I’m gonna go to a different place.‘ You go to a different place and it’s exciting, and it’s unusual but you don’t feel comfortable. So you end up going to the same place you used to go. That’s basically how I felt with my departure from PRIEST. You are not me, you can’t possibly understand what was going through my mind, my spirit and my soul at that time. What you got was the music but I still don’t feel that conveyed what was really going on in my head and my heart. So, I think I had a lot of fucking balls to do what I did! But it was not about saying, ‚Fuck you, I’m gonna do this.‘ It was just a necessary process as a creative musician. So, if Tim says I turned his back on metal because FIGHT was a failure and TWO was a failure, two commercial disasters, that I just went back to metal because that’s where I make my money and my living… Fuck you, Tim! Because that’s not what happened, and without me you would not be in JUDAS PRIEST.“
