INTERVIEW: Tim "Ripper" Owens" on Metal Gods tour, Dio and being a musician

Judas Priest and DIO are arguably the seminal Godfathers of Heavy Metal. For the first time in Australia, two former members of these bands will come together to form Metal Gods, in what will be the ultimate ode to Judas Priest and DIO. Metal Gods will feature singer Ripper Owens – famed vocalist for Judas Priest after the departure of Rob Halford in 1992 – and Drummer, Simon Wright, who was a member of AC/DC between 1983 and 1989 before leaving the group to join Ronnie James Dio’s band. We spoke to Tim "Ripper" Owens about the upcoming tour, his current solo project and his connection to Dio over the years.
