A Message to Judas Priest

Here's a message for the band! I wouldn't bother spending a single penny that Judas Priest puts out on any album, cd, or otherwise paraphernalia, as long as the ungrateful "Ripper Owens" remains in the band! Clearly his vocal ability stands loud & clear, but his gratitude for where he stands today is pathetic, he didn't get where he is today by chance, not by luck either, TWO people worked very hard to get him the recognition and the opportunity of a life time, and not a mere thank you, or any type of contact has been made. Makes you wonder how he treats the fans? Thanks to those TWO certain people, Tim is living his dream. Too bad "the band" and it's "management" has to keep everything so hush hush. The interviews and stories of how he got here are bull****, and now a movie's in production as we speak, what are they basing it on? Not the real truth, just the bull**** they think is the truth, no one knows the whole truth, except TWO girls, Tim, Scott and the band. How 'bout give credit where credit is due? I know damned well the band is thankful, they have been presented with their new, young lead back to heavy metal. So your welcome Glenn, KK, Ian, Scott & Jayne. And for "Ripper" it's pathetic that you lack the poise to acknowledge where, how and from whom you got your big break. A nobody from the middle of Ohio doesn't fall from the sky and land in England in the recording studio with Judas Priest and become their new lead vocalist, not without a story behind it...Let's "Unleash" the story, it lye's in the "East"...
