K.K. Downing: No Longer in Judas Priest, But Still Championing Metal
K.K. Downing may have punched his Judas Priest timecard for the last time, but that doesn't mean he's lost his love for metal.

Talk is always cheap where Guns N' Roses are concerned, so if you've taken the rumors about Duff McKagan's Loaded serving as a support act on GN'R's current tour with a grain of salt, we definitely don't blame you.
