TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Checks In From South American Tour

October 27, 2009

Video footage of powerhouse American vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) performing in Chile and Brazil during his current South American solo tour can be viewed below.

Tim has checked in from the tour with the following update:

"The South America tour has been great. Just amazing how well they know my solo stuff already; they really sing 'Starting Over' and 'Believe' great every night. Nice to hear that! And, of course, I don't really need to sing anything to 'Burn In Hell' — the fans can handle that!

"The bands with me have been great and I thank them for that!!

"It has been a long tour, but one of the best in my career.

"Thanks to all that brought me here. Now let's do it in the U.S.!

"Also want to say the new BEYOND FEAR songs are sounding great. I have a few days off right now in Brazil so I am writing some lyrics to a few new killer tunes that John Comprix and Matt Sorg gave me. This CD is gonna be great.

"I would also like to send out a big thanks for all the great reviews and kind words about my solo CD ('Play My Game'). This CD is hands down one of the best that I have made... so thanks to all and keep spreading the word.

"Here [see below] is one of the last setlists I did. Trying to make it a nice mix of new and old [material]... solo/BEYOND FEAR/JUDAS PRIEST. This is what the fans want.

"Gotta say, if it were up to me and not the fans out in the crowd, I would play BEYOND FEAR and my solo CD... but they would kill me, LOL. So it has to be a good fun mix of tunes."
