Glenn Tipton

“The twin-guitar thing wasn't planned; it just evolved.”

“Heavy metal is a lifestyle, it's not a fad.”

“Songwriting, to me, is the most important thing.”

“The 'Painkiller' album was a very important album for us. It sort of re-established the band.”

“I've got a responsibility to the band and to the fans to give 110 percent.”

“I think every Judas Priest album has been a progression.”

“I've never been one for solos that are just a million notes a minute. I'd rather have melody and feel.”

“The fans are the lifeblood of the band. Without them, we're nothing.”

“When we started, there wasn't a category for heavy metal. We were just a hard rock band.”

“I just want to be remembered as a good guitar player and songwriter.”

“I've never stopped learning on the guitar. There's always something new to discover.”

“By my own admission, I am a scientist with a guitar.”

“We've always gone out there and done our own thing, and if you don't like it, that's fine.”

“You've got to be honest with your music.”
