What the other guy said; it's like deciding whether or not you like your thumb or index finger more; they're different and serve different purposes, but without either your hand would be incomplete. They both deserve the title of best guitarist ever. I don't care what anyone says; they're CLEARLY the best, and obviously the most humble as well considering they've no problem working with each other.
In my opinion, Glenn Tipton still keep the same style which is the proper mark of Judas Priest´s songs, and nowadays K.K. Downing plays like several heavy-metal bands all over the world. It´s not bad to change the style; heavy-metal music is evolutioning everyday. Personally, I prefer the Glenn Tipton´s style.
they are like peanut butter and jelly, bonnie and clyde, heaven and hell, just plain simple without one there is no other they feed off each others style thats what makes the priest the most dominating band in the century
doesn't matter witch of them but what is important GLENN,KK,SCHENKER,ULI JON ROTH were beasts in the second half of the 70's all those thrash bands tried to be like them. Big influences sorry for my english :d
both are good. Judas Priest is a great a band and you can;'t say which guitar player in this band is good. You don't have the right to do that. In a band all members are good, even guitar players.
Don't make the difference between K.K. and Glenn. They are great players. Don't make difference between guitar players
why are people saying that k.k its just a "flashy player" why? just because the only solo that "you" know from judas its painkiller? flashy you ass dude, seriously, judas priest its recognized for those legendary solo duels, as the sentinel, metal meltdown, ram it down, and obviously those "individual" solos, i know that glenn have more solos than k.k but that doesnt mean he is better, K.K =Epic heavy solos; glenn = Epic passional solos
The Irresistible Force vs. the Immovable Object. Two absolute guitargods, who's to say who is better? But for me personally, KK Downing has always represented an ideal very few others can approach. Glenn is one of them......
Love them both but KK only has one solo style (although still a superb guitarist) Tipton is a naturally flowing lead guitarist and therefore can come in from all angles, well that that is my modest opinion anyway.
I always thought Tipton was better, but then I saw this video!.. /watch?v=kANgLXKrTP0&feature=related Absolutely amazing! The one thing we can agree on is that they're likely among the best guitar duo's in history
Guess I'll say Tipton, 'cause Downing retired, :) They both kick ass and make the band perfect with their two styles added into the mix. Very sadface that Downing, left, Im going to see them in 3 weeks in Denver. New guy seems cool, but I would have loved to see the classic line up.
Tipton for me. KK's good too, but to me, he's more of a rhythm guitarist that can play the occasional lead. I'm not really fond of his whoring of tremolo picking and tapping(much like I don't like Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King's solos either). Both write awesome riffs and songs though
dumb question. they're both better than each other. thats why every album was better than the last even though each album (before Tim "ripper" Owens he can suck a dick]) was amazing. these guys are why i am a musician! best metal band.
@kcupriest if your talking about tim ripper owens i stand by my comment. he's dogshit compared to Halford. i didn't see any live footage with his music in this video.
They are both wonderful guitarists that few can emulate, both have wonderful individuale techniques and unlike so many are able to play metal with soul , emotioin and incredible phrasing. Not just run up and down the same scale regardless, and then put a few bends in here and there.
@blackfender100 They were good and up there, but I don't think they were as good as the combination of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorman in Thin Lizzy..
KK solo on Beyond realms the of death is amaizing! Just saw them live, Richie totaly blew that solo up, it was just soul less. Although he nailed Judas is Rising solo, he played maybe even better than KK would....
en el video de la cancion hellraider de budokan japon, se ve realmente quien es quien, KK se lleva de calle a tipton.... lo que pasa es que tipton acapara solos. chequenlo completo y veran cabrones.
I like the both of them they both class and up there with the best but I do favour Glenn Tiptons solo's although I think K.K is as Quick as anyone including Kirk Hammett
ive seen this band three times. ive listened to there music for many years. i appreciate both guitarists but KK has a grove all his own. you can not deny that. METAL RULES!!!!
if i was to die and go to the other world and had a choice of who i was going to listen to 24/7 1440 minutes of the day , 86400 seconds of the day i would say KK
@anonymousme99 Agree, Glenn is the technical heart and soul of the band, without HIM, it really can't be the same, even Rob was nearly eclipsed by ripper.
I love how their styles feed off each other and bring balance to their songs. Glenn is more technical whereas KK is more bluesy with a lot of soul in his playing. Too bad KK isn't on the final tour. I'm sure they'll get someone great to fill in though. I had the pleasure of seeing Priest live twice already, I really hope to again for a 3rd time!
@ricerhunter9 Yeah this is supposed to be their last major world tour, but I've also heard rumor that they're writing new material for a final studio album
@ricerhunter9 Why cus they have Richie Faulkner now? Fuck that pansy he ain't got shit on Downing. JP will never be the same again! It's like when Iron Maiden recruited Blaze Bayley only it's probably worse cus Downing doesn't plan on coming back
KK's all fast twiddling and wanging the bar, Glenn can do that but has a clearer sense of melody and how to put the pieces together so they add up to something and take you on a journey
KK's speed and sheer aggression is simply amazing... Glenn's melody and style is utterly enthralling. They're both masters of the guitar in different respects, and nobody --at least to me-will replace KK as Judas Priest's epic shredder
I think KK will regret not doing the farewell tour !!!!,they should all come back to the table and accommodate each other for one last time,42 years is a long time,to let it go sour !!!
My fear too. So unexplainable to leave the band just before the last tour... or perhaps a big "Oasis like" argument, (but I hardly imagine this between 60 y o clever guys as they are). Anyway good luck to this Richie Faulkner, but it won't be the same.
i dont understand he just couldnt wait to stay for one more year to finish the farewell tour ?when he spent almost 43 years in body and spirit to judas priest ,im mad at these guys bringing a fucking loser to replace kk downing wtf?wtf?wtf?

The great thing about KK and Glenn is that they are both willing to play rhythm to each others' leads and both to play lead without ctrying to out do the other. A real guitar partnership.
Asking "which is better" is missing the point. Tipton is the craftsman: meticulous, melodic, technical. Downing is the wild man: aggressive, chaotic, on the knife's edge of being out of control and no slouch when it comes to the technical wizardry, either. Together, they form the greatest two-headed, three-pronged green manalishi ever unleased on this plane of existence.
Glenn Tipton has always been my personal favorite; a favorite top guitarist of all time: beautiful, melodic riffs. But what would Judas be without K.K.? That evil, screaming guitar is toooooooo baaaaaaddd aaaaaaasssssss! Stroke me AND whammy bar me, baby, I like it both ways!
Glenn is technically better and does the more complicated solos. KK has a more sloppy, bluesy style to his leads, which requires a lot of practice in its own right. Both guitarists have repeatedly stated that they'd be lost without each other and the rest of the band, so it doesn't matter which one is "better" than the other at leads.
Let's not forget an important thing: Priest is well known for their leads, but it's their rhythms that define them as living legends.
Both guitarist has own styles but I ın my view Glenn has a wider range of sound and technique even if he has started playing guitar at a age of 19 !!!! He just amazing...And also Judas too so original and kick ass melodic call whatever you want they are just Metal Gods...
there are no reason, in my very poor english, to compare each other.
Glenn and K.K. were the heaviest influences for lots and lots of today´s musicians, so, they have the enough power, knowledge, technical, speed, and feeling, to be, again, compared between...... even I preffer one of those, both together were the most powerfull couple ver had on the rock scene worldwide.!! I really am in love with Judas..!!
I think these guys are the reason JP has endured for so long. If one of them left and another were to replace him, it just wouldn't be the same because their styles compliment each other so well.
1 FOR THE VAULT ! ♥♫~{\o/}~

To everyone saying "KK Is Judas Priest"
He isn't the only one. KK, Glenn, and Halford were the primary writers of all the Judas Priest songs.
KK Is more of a "flashy" player, using the wah, whammy bar, and effects a lot, and playing very fast.
Glenn is more musical. Using mostly just a chorus effect, and is more melodic and just tries to play note-for-note and precise as possible.

The great thing about KK and Glenn is that they are both willing to play rhythm to each others' leads and both to play lead without ctrying to out do the other. A real guitar partnership.

Asking "which is better" is missing the point. Tipton is the craftsman: meticulous, melodic, technical. Downing is the wild man: aggressive, chaotic, on the knife's edge of being out of control and no slouch when it comes to the technical wizardry, either. Together, they form the greatest two-headed, three-pronged green manalishi ever unleased on this plane of existence.

I love them both, but based on Glenn's solo on the song Painkiller, I'd have to go with Glenn.

Glenn Tipton has always been my personal favorite; a favorite top guitarist of all time: beautiful, melodic riffs. But what would Judas be without K.K.? That evil, screaming guitar is toooooooo baaaaaaddd aaaaaaasssssss! Stroke me AND whammy bar me, baby, I like it both ways!

Glenn is technically better and does the more complicated solos. KK has a more sloppy, bluesy style to his leads, which requires a lot of practice in its own right. Both guitarists have repeatedly stated that they'd be lost without each other and the rest of the band, so it doesn't matter which one is "better" than the other at leads.
Let's not forget an important thing: Priest is well known for their leads, but it's their rhythms that define them as living legends.

Glenn's solos are more classical and theoretically great, KK's are more well-structured and rock oriented. Its a tie.

Both guitarist has own styles but I ın my view Glenn has a wider range of sound and technique even if he has started playing guitar at a age of 19 !!!! He just amazing...And also Judas too so original and kick ass melodic call whatever you want they are just Metal Gods...

SPPoncho88 1 year ago 2
there are no reason, in my very poor english, to compare each other.
Glenn and K.K. were the heaviest influences for lots and lots of today´s musicians, so, they have the enough power, knowledge, technical, speed, and feeling, to be, again, compared between...... even I preffer one of those, both together were the most powerfull couple ver had on the rock scene worldwide.!! I really am in love with Judas..!!

I think these guys are the reason JP has endured for so long. If one of them left and another were to replace him, it just wouldn't be the same because their styles compliment each other so well.
