VRP Rocks has shared an interview clip featuring drum legend Simon Phillips, who shares how a Deep Purple legend got him involved with the Judas Priest, which led to him playing drums on their Sin After Sin album. Simon also discusses why he decided not to stay with the band despite them asking him to. He also talks about the album being referred to as the birth of the double bass drum in metal, and whether he agrees with that statement or not."
