TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Interviewed By EXPLICITLY INTENSE; Audio Available - Nov. 5, 2009

Sarjoo Devani of the Explicitly Intense web site recently conducted an interview with powerhouse American vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH). The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

Owens this past summer completed a short European tour as the support act for HEAVEN & HELL. His backing band for the trek consisted of the following musicians:

Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORHCESTRA) - Guitar
John Comprix (BEYOND FEAR, RINGWORM) - Guitar
David Ellefson (MEGADETH, F5) - Bass
Simon Wright (AC/DC, DIO) - Drums

"Play My Game", the first solo album from Owens, landed at position No. 66 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The CD was released via SPV/Steamhammer. The offering consists of around a dozen brand-new tracks that Owens composed himself or together with renowned friends, such as Bob Kulick, Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Mike Callahan (ex-EARSHOT) and John Comprix (BEYOND FEAR, RINGWORM).

	One of the best singers out there today. Hope he does some solo US gigs next year perhaps. Play My Game is a great metal album that should be owned in everyone's collection.

	What an amazing touring band...I would love to see that. What a class act Tim RIPPER Owens is! I have the album it's awesome and "The Cover Up" is my favorite track at this point. Jeff Loomis is out of control.
