Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing who was born in the back streets of West Bromwich, is piling a big part of his fortune into a magnificent golf course around the mansion he bought near Bridgnorth.

"I've played golf all over the world on some of the best golf courses and I want a course to match those," he said. "I'm not cutting corners. I'm aiming at golfers who are passionate about the game and appreciate five-star golf and a five-star clubhouse.

''I'm not after the ВЈ20-a-day-including-lunch market. It takes a lot of money, and I mean a lot of money, to provide a great golf course but as long as I can attract enough money to pay for it I'll be happy."

Alice Cooper told us in his latest exclusive interview on Tangra Mega Rock:

"You will be surprised now that most heavy metal bands all play golf. I think what it is the fact that when you are on the road for 5 months and you are in a different city every single night, you are having all day to do nothing, because the show starts at 9 o’clock that night. Well, I don’t want to sit around in my hotel room all day."
