This dude played Painkiller with a torn aorta. Nothing can ever be more metal than that.

Surviving a heart attack while playing Painkiller's solo is the ultimate most metal af thing ever

Richie is an amazing musician. To step in to Glen and KK's shoes is a monumental task in itself. He laid down the jams at every Priest concert I have attended since he joined. My hats off to him. Glad you are healthy again Richie. Take care of yourself and keep entertaining the fans.
