They still have onstage energy thanks to a few new members who are younger guys as well, KK Downing for sure is retired and maybe even Tipton too if memory serves

KK retired prior to the release of Redeemer of Souls. He was replace by Richie Faulkner, who interestingly enough had been playing guitar for rock singer Lauren Harris, daughter of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris.
Tipton still appeared on Firepower but there was some dispute about his contributions, since he had publicly come out and said he had Parkinson's. One thing wasn't in doubt though, Faulkner was a major contributor to the songwriting and the album was heavier as a result.
