Richie Faulkner - Works On Solo Album
Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner spoke to Guitar World magazine about the status of his previously announced solo project.
He said: "I'd like to do it more as a band thing. I wouldn't want it to be called Richie Faulkner. I worked on a project with a few people during the pandemic and we're in talks at the moment with labels. I don't want to give too much away, but when the pandemic hit I thought maybe it's time to get a batch of songs and get them into shape and put them out.”
Asked if it will be a metal album, Richie said: "It's always hard to talk about your stuff without crawling up your own ass. I think it's heavy, but it's not as 'metal.' It's a bit more bluesy. You can hear that it's coming from a guitarist in [Judas] Priest, but it's enough of a departure to sound like something outside of the band. There's some [Jimi] Hendrix references in there and stuff that's a bit more groove-oriented."
