They're many who tried to prove that they're faster, but they didn't last and they died as they tried. That's how it goes in Hell Bent For Leather but it certainly does not represent one of Metal's oldest guitar players, Glenn Tipton, as he seems to have lasted for more than three decades and will surely continue on giving us the best Heavy Metal hymns.
Judas Priest is a Metal monster and Glenn is standing right in the core of its existence, right in the center of its brain. During Rockwave Festival, here in Athens, while I was occupied taking photos of Cradle of Filth's live performance (just after Savatage and just before Megadeth) my cell phone started ringing like mad! I answered it and then I grabbed Manolis and we both started running like hell! We headed backstage, way backstage, full of anxiety and anticipation. After a sort time of getting lost (and found), finally we were there the door cracked open and there he was, sitting on the couch, holding one of his oldest guitars, smiling at us! Glenn Tipton, one of the finest guitar players in Heavy Metal (ever) was ready to give us a quite exclusive Interview!
