Do you guys think Tim could've written/sang the material as well as Rob on AOR? It's a pretty tough call for me, considering it has a couple kick ass tracks like, "Demonizer" and "Deal With the Devil"

I've often thought about Ripper era Priest having lasted longer. I'll bet a third album comprised of material that became AOR but with Tim's contributions could've been truly great. Tim is a stronger and superior singer to Rob over the last ten years or so. I think it's a safe bet to assume that he would own any AOR songs.

I really doubt Priest would have gone to the AOR direction with Ripper, it is a much softer album and more suitable for Rob. I would imagine Priest would have kept the heavier direction if Tim had stayed...

i think they would of headed into the direction of AOR because of the reception to Demolition so it would have been awesome to see and i think he would of been writing more because of this switch

did any ever meet The Ripper in real life? I heard he was a pretty down to earth guy

the question really should be, would JP have gone that same route with Tim at the helm? I don't think so. I think they changed direction once Rob came back.

Yes, I met Tim in January. He is indeed down to earth. One of the nicest guys I've ever met and very gracious to his fan base. Treated me like royalty.

I have yet to meet Tim, people are always bashing him on the internet but that must be purely because they're Halford fans and don't settle for anything less lol
