In a recent interview, former Judas Priest vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens spoke about the challenges of maintaining his signature sound despite vocal issues.

Speaking with Chile's iRock.cl, Owens expressed frustration with singers who alter their original songs to accommodate their aging voices.

He emphasized the importance of authenticity in live performances and revealed that he sticks to the original versions of PRIEST classics like 'Breaking The Law' and 'Metal Gods'.

Owens has been open about his vocal issues since joining PRIEST in 1996 and has recorded two studio albums with the band.

However, he remains committed to singing the songs as they were originally recorded, a stance he believes is essential for maintaining artistic integrity.

Owens took to X to clarify that his comments were not aimed at any specific singer or age group, but rather highlighted the importance of staying true to one's art.

His commitment to authenticity has earned him both praise and criticism from fans and fellow musicians alike.
