I don't think Dave Holland is good enough to be his roadie!

I listen to this and almost can’t recognise the song … sting has been doing this for years basically ruining his own songs 😂

Eeeeyyooo.

Fantastic

Straight from Steve Gadd

i feel simon phillips, Rod Morgenstein from him. very unlucky guy

I think Les Binks left Judas Priest because the rest of the band couldn't keep up with him

As a drummer who was highly influenced by Les, I can't imagine what it must feel like to have that level of skill and control... so seemingly effortless. Truly an amazing drummer.

He reminds me of mitch Mitchell a lot , very fast rist . Cheers from northern indiana usa

Priest paid her Nothing for the,Unleashed In The East

The true drummer Judas Priest is also very good

Good drummer.

What a handsome devil he is. The coloring is amazing.

Dave played in Apartment with my brother Al who played trumpet. sadly both are gone now taken way too soon from this world. Talented musos, wanting to give back and mentor the young ones. Both SOO missed.

He drums circles around their present drummer I mean the guy is horrible

Alles ist möglich

The moment

🤘

Certainly THE best drummer Judas Priest has EVER had...Les Binks!!!

Best drummer Judas Priest EVER had...Les Binks!!!

Although I can't quite take his snare tone, his melody, groove, and dynamics are beautiful. Definitely too good for pop-Priest, if I were him that stuff would have driven me away too.

As a drummer I'm ashamed I've never heard of this man. Beautiful playing

Stunning!

As a drummer of over 35 years ( professional gigging musician ,touring and in the road for basically 20 years) I'm not a big fan of drum solos in the middle of a concert ,gig etc etc , however Ive noticed the art of drum solos is disappearing . Modern metal drummers especially don't know how to perform a good solo, everything is just about going as fast as possible for a minute or two , no style ,thought ,preparation etc etc seems to go into a modern drum solo . I enjoyed how lez showcased many styles throughout his solo .

He's the man he is in charge of everything look out wouldn't want to get in his way you big powerful and smart animals go have some fun thanks best wishes to everyone in the troops you smart animals. Joe

so sad he lost his life 2 years later in a car crash.

YEAH MAN! 🔥

You are a knob

Thee best drummer Judas Priest had.

If there's any question about why I love to play drums?mystery solved. Life log priest fan love it les thank you for showing how it's done

What a drummer! I didn't expected that kinda fusion jazz solo on ex Judas priest drummer. I have Stained Class and Killing Machine on vinyl format and love his drum parts.

I just saw a video of a baby male gorilla attempting to do the chest beating and he knocked himself backwards to the ground. It was a hoot.

He was a great fit for Priest.

This is incredible! Thanks for sharing. I'd bet that the drums are happy that they are being played like a set of drums want to be played. Blue collar, meat and potatoes way of doin' it Les! Rock on forever hard!

I can totally hear "stand back for Exciter! salvation sweeps the land, Here he comes now, fall to your knees and repent if you please!!!!!!!

Les binks is for me the very best judas priest drummer with simon phillips !!!

He's the man look out wouldn't want to get in his way take care you bright and smart animals. Joe

UNLEASHED IN THE EAST!!!!!!!!

For all the drummers out there…..Les Binks is/was very special! We’re talking insane physical ability and creativity. What a shame Judas Priest let him go…..

Lol XD

Never, ever understood why Les parted ways with Judas Priest . I know that it's been claimed he left because they wouldn't pay him for his live performance on Unleashed in the East and also that they wanted him to change his style but refused to do so. It's just bizarre that a drummer of this calibre , widely recognised as the best they have had, was replaced by Dave Holland who, however well he may have played with Trapeze, was never anywhere near as good as this guy. Seriously , they were never as good after Les left . Especially live.

I dislike most drum solos because they have no groove or technique and then every blue moon I come across someone who has put thought into a solo and mixes groove and technique and builds the solo to make the it enjoyable. I hear Ian Paice in some of this so I would be surprised if he wasn’t a major influence and a little Max Roach too. No idea why Judas Priest let his geezer go as he is clearly a great drummer.

As if he was calming himself by beating his chest slightly.

fucking great

i love gorillas!! they r so intelligent and so funny!!!

I almost didnt recognize him w/o the cowboy shirt! J/K Les is an awesome drummer!

Became hip to Dave watching Sade's Montreux 1984 performance over and over. Masterclass in drumming, one of the best drummer/percussionists I've ever heard out of Ireland. RIP

Wow simon phillips uses same set up, and muffles his bass drums the same way...wonder who copied from who?????

Magnificent.
