Front man for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow before joining up with Michael Schenker, Ronnie Romero has worked with some of rock's most larger than life figures. However, he's now stepping out from under those huge shadows with a brand new project. Put together by Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner and featuring Pantera's Rex Brown on bass, Elegant Weapons have recently released their debut album 'Horns for a Halo. We caught up with Ronnie at Hellfest in France to discuss the project, his split with Schenker, and what lies ahead. Do or die; Eamon O'Neill.

Talk about Firepower! That is, of course, the name of the Judas Priest record that arguably represents guitarist Richie Faulkner’s finest moment with the legendary Birmingham band. A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers for over a decade now, Richie is stepping out with a little help from his friends with his own Elegant Weapons. Originally featuring Pantera's Rex Brown on bass, the line-up includes Ronnie Romero on vocals. We caught up with Richie at Hellfest in France, to discuss the project, his shocking onstage aortic aneurysm, and progress on the new Priest album. Horns for a halo; Eamon O'Neill.
