K.K. Downing of Judas Priest
Kenneth "K.K." Downing Jr. (born on October 27, 1951 in West Bromwich, England) is a guitarist and founding member of British heavy metal pioneers Judas Priest.
Downing has been noted for his wild solos, solid rhythm and legendary lead duet with fellow Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton. Together with his schoolmate and fellow Priest founding member Ian Hill (bass), K.K. has been solely dedicated to the band for more than 35 years - a rock n' roll longevity achievement in its own right.
Got the stage name after a girl in Denmark couldn't mispronounced his name and called him 'K.K.'.
