[kj] (OT) Crabcore? What the Fuckin' HELL???

[Alexander Smith]

Moreover, the guy they brought in to replace him -- Ripper Owens --  
was plucked from a Judas Priest cover band. It's that rags-to-riches  
story that inspired the dubious Mark Wahlberg film, "Rock Star."

Halford went and did a couple of solo records and forged the project  
TWO -- an industrial band for Trent Reznor's NOTHING label. None of  
this mattered.

Halford went onto rejoin Priest and they recently released a double  
concept album about the life of Nostradamus. That may sound silly --  
and it is, really -- but it's certainly no sillier than OUTSIDE THE  
GATE.

My question: Where is Ripper today?
