IAN HILL Believes JUDAS PRIEST’s Current Lineup Will Last Until The End
JUDAS PRIEST bassist Ian Hill believes that the band’s current touring lineup — in which he is joined by singer Rob Halford, guitarists Andy Sneap and Richie Faulkner, and drummer Scott Travis — is the version that’s going to make it to the end. “I can’t see any reason why not,” he tells 519 Magazine in a new interview. “We’re all realists. None of us are getting any younger, so there is an end in sight, although when we don’t know. I think everybody’s happy with one another and with the current lineup, which is also almost as important as musical competence. “You get the best musicians in the world, but if you’ve got a bunch of idiots, you’re not going to last very long,” he explained. “We’re all get...
