It’s Glenn Tipton’s Yearbook Photo!

Yes, it's Judas Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton, who next year (2014) will celebrate his 40th anniversary as a member of the legendary heavy metal band.

For nearly all of that time, Tipton was part of a two-headed lead / rhythm guitar team that also included K.K. Downing. The latter retired from the group in 2011, just as they were on the verge of what was announced as their last full-scale world tour. However, following the strong reaction to the 'Epitaph' concerts, and the energy brought in by his new six-string partner, Richie Faulkner, it seems Judas Priest have changed their minds a bit, and that the future for these 'Metal Gods' is once again an open book.
