The "leaving Judas Priest" section

Seriously, who's bright idea was it to throw in pretty much every single interview quote over a small debacle involving him not being asked to rejoin? Is it really so important in the grand scheme of things that it can't be summed up in just one or two paragraphs? It makes the article feel very disproportionate. If a reader really wants to know this much specific detail they can seek it out themselves, surely? Vicious Friendly Fish (talk) 01:37, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've added in the {{very long}} template which might incentivize some condensation of the content. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:11, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Got to agree with you on this one. The section reads like a defense of KK Downing in his conflict about Priest that overshadows the rest of the article. Kickysam49 (talk) 02:10, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

KK's Priest

Why is this section not its own article yet? They are about to release their second album. ChallengingAnthropocentrism (talk) 02:27, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
