George Lynch has revealed that he would like to play for British heavy metal legends JUDAS PRIEST.

While speaking at a guitar clinic at Pitbull Audio in San Diego this past January, George said (see video below): “I still to this day love PRIEST. I wish they would call me up and hire me. Glenn Tipton, hello?”

On 12 February 2018, Glenn Tipton revealed that he had Parkinson’s disease and would step down from touring. According to the band, the disease’s progression left him unable to play the more challenging material. Tipton stated that he was still a member of the band despite his diagnosis and did not rule out future on-stage appearances. Andy Sneap was then announced as his replacement for the tour.

One of heavy metal’s all-time greats, JUDAS PRIEST will be celebrating their 50th anniversary this year with a world tour coming to the U.S. in the fall. The 50 Heavy Metal Years Tour will also feature SABATON as openers and is being fueled by the highest charting album of PRIEST’s career Firepower which peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200.

Tickets for the tour are available HERE.
