Singled Out: Elegant Weapons (Judas Priest)

Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner's band Elegant Weapons just released their new single "Bridges Burn" from their forthcoming album "Evolution" (out April 24th). To celebrate we asked Richie to tell us about the song. Here is the story:

Bridges Burn was actually an idea that has been around awhile but I couldn't find the right home for it in terms of a song. I had the main Riff but it needed to go somewhere as a climax, a chorus, a payoff.

By sheer coincidence, I was in London, and I was driving over London Bridge. There was heavy traffic and I was driving to meet family across the river.

As I sat in traffic, I don't know what it was but something came to me. I don't know where these things come from, but sometimes they just pop out of thin air. The melody and the lyric for the chorus just came to me as I was sitting on London Bridge! Maybe it was the fact that I was sitting on a bridge, if I was thinking about the great fire of London or something, I'm not sure how the brain works or makes connections, but something jumped out at me. Ashes to ashes Bridges burn. I saw the image in my head and heard the melody and words. Everything fell into place after that.

Sometimes you just need that spark to connect all the dots then everything falls into place.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen and watch for yourself below and learn more here
