'Black Sabbath forged the sword of heavy metal, Judas Priest sharpened it' 🤘 One of the best heavy metal hymns ever... 👌

[@terrylandess6072]

That sword has seen a lot of abuse, but never breaks.

[@cbn6635]

@terrylandess6072 It is constantly in battle, so it never rusts... 😎

[@jaron91]

[@jamescooper-hope6930]

One of THE best songs

[@canucklehead11]

This song is a masterpiece. 1970's Judas Priest was amazing. Run Of The Mill, Dying To Meet You, One For The Road and others.

[@glpf5]

I would also highly suggest Run of the Mill; it's much, much less popular/well known but is one of my favorites of all time. All of the band members are killing it in Run of the Mill and you get, not only, Rob's higher registers but also a lot of low-register stuff. Also, Run of the Mill seems like a mix of metal, blues and, to me, even a bit of Jazz. It's so good! Thanks for the video.

[@buzzbomb67]

Great song from their debut album. Rob really makes the best of songs that werent designed for him. I was going to suggest Winter/Deep Freeze/Winter Retreat/Cheater, but that is an excellent track as well.

[@bjhellstream]

That was the first album I bought with them when it was released. Wasn't really amazed but Run of the Mill was the song I loved.

[@a.k.1740]

The best version is the one from their live album Unleashed in the East from 1979. This studio version is more tame in comparison, especially since on the live album it is the excellent Les Binks who appears on drums!🥢

[@Mincraftia100]

Agreed!

[@vicprovost2561]

Agree on the power and intensity like but the studio original has subtly that just gets lost in the more manic live setting. I love the studio but also live that you mentioned and also The 1983 Memphis live video. Great song!

[@a.k.1740]

@@vicprovost2561 I agree that the studio version has an atmosphere that the live version doesn't have. You can hear the different guitar parts better as well as the little subtleties in the bass part which is buried live, etc... The same is generally true of the majority of studio versions by any artist, but as I discovered this 1979 live version first, I was disappointed when I later listened to the original studio version (and this was also the case with other Sad Wings of Destiny tracks performed on Unleashed in the East). I think the change of drummer also had a lot to do with it, because for me Les Binks' playing infinitely surpasses that of Alan Moore!

[@kajetansocinski6541]

I really envy you listening that song for the first time Andrew :)

[@Michael-xb4ws]

The soundscape and instrument separation on this album is top tier.

[@SteveGans-y4k]

About time! The live versions are even better.

[@isopropyltoxicity]

No they aren't.not every single song is better live npc

[@AB-gb1om]

Especially the Seminole version

[@SteveGans-y4k]

@@isopropyltoxicity no, but this one is. Check out the Unleashed in the East, US Fest 83, and live '84 versions.

[@23ograin53]

@@SteveGans-y4k Correct.

[@terrylandess6072]

Back in the 70's band days right out of school, one of our associates brought an album he found in a sales bin - it was Killing Machine, the British version of what was called Hell Bent for Leather on the American release. This began our journey backwards to learn what we had missed and setting us up for what was to come. Perfect timing.

[@jangles1839]

KK Downing Mr Rooney....he was a founding member of Judas Priest and now has KK's Priest. I'd say although it's from a different album, Painkiller is probably my favorite from JP. There's a lot of great tunes throughout the decades from these guys though! 🤘🏼💙

[@buzzbomb67]

Peak Priest, as far as aggression! 1990 was a very good year.

[@RickINFJ]

You're 💯 right Andrew, Rob is a metal God. 🤘 Saw them in 91' and again 10 or so years later. Rob's voice was pristine live!

[@carlomercorio1250]

I bought this album in 1977 and used to work out to it - pushups, situps, light weights - in my bedroom with the glorious riffs blasting out and driving me on.

[@ptakleo]

Actually both Sabbath and Judas are from the same city (Birmingham) and started almost at the same time

[@merlin9622]

Rob is from Walsall,kk was from West Bromwich

[@balticstain7150]

Except birmingham city only recognises black Sabbath as the founding members of heavy metal, we did a 🇬🇧 trip last year and visited birmingham city and they don't mention judas priest at all.

[@Omegatonyisgod]

​@@balticstain7150 that's because Priest was Hard Rock. They didn't become metal until later. Black Sabbath were truly the daddies of the genre. Their style of power chords are still extremely attractive to beginner metal influenced guitarists. Either way, Priest never got even close to as much recognition. However, their influence in 80s metal was very much near what Sabbath did for metal.

[@Miwna]

So happy that you've fallen into the Judas Priest rabbit hole. Dave Holland was there when the band gained much of their popularity, but Scott Travis who replaced him really kicked it up a notch or two.

[@Timmayytoo]

This is not a knock on Holland who is a solid drummer, but I don't see them making Painkiller without Scott Travis on the kit.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I’m loving this band!

[@BTAColorado]

I was walking through a flea market in '77 as a youngster and saw the cover art for this album. I had two dollars my dad had given me for a hot dog and soda but I bought a cassette of Sad Wings instead solely because of the cover. Nearly 50 years later I am STILL a Metalhead. Thank you Judas Priest for this album, you changed the course of my musical life!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Amazing story! 👍🤘

[@vicprovost2561]

Utterly classic epic, great composition and the studio mix is sublime.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

It really is 💯

[@georgelamie7001]

The live version from Unleashed in the East is the definitive take. Les Binks is worlds more creative than any of their other drummers

[@saltyshowers9356]

Thank you Greta☺. Great reaction to one of the classics Andrew!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤣🤣👌

[@MissingMars]

Priest doing their best Sabbath -nothing but gold!

[@fraisval]

One of my old favorite albums. :P

[@Nissardpertugiu]

What is great is each drummer of Priest was great, and added some richness in the styles, and different things that are very inspiring. In Victim Of Changes, i can correct something, its 2 songs in one, and it was played live since 1972 under the " Whiskey Woman " moniker. Judas Priest always had stories with drummers, and funny fact, Alan Moore was one of the drummers in 1972. Then Chris Congo Campbell, a jamaican in 1972-1973, then John Hinch came into the picture with Rob Halford in 1973. John Inch is on the demo of 1973 of Whiskey Woman, which is on KZbin. Whiskey Woman became Victim Of Changes when Rob Halford integrated the middle part from " Red Light Lady " off his older band Hiroshima, and when Glenn Tipton joined as second guitar player. So John hinch played that, especially a muscle version in the bootleg Live At The Reading 1975. John left the band and Alan Moore came back for the album. But to came back to my original idea Alan Moore, LesBinks, Dave Holland, Scott Travis did all great interpretations of this song.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the info!

[@Lauen]

if you compare live versions, you'll quickly find that Les Binks set the standard for Victim of Changes live, and Scott Travis revived that when he joined the band. Dave Holland was great but he couldn't match the intensity.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@Lauen I did sadly mistaken Dave Holland when i was younger, but he did what Priest asked for, or Tipton asked for. Holland auditionned Priest by 15 songs in 4 days, and Unleashed wasn't out yet, so maybe he did learned by the studio version. However, he could, if You listen what Dave did on Genocide and Starbreaker live in 1979-1980, he could, slamming double bass included. Dave was a way better complete drummer than you think of. Listen him live in Dallas in 1972 playing Keepin' time by Trapeze, or Jury by Trapeze live 1975 boat club.. Dave was the old guard, but he was funky as hell, what worked with Priest as he had in Trapeze, that in the heavy stuff as doomy stuff he had that primitive gutty Midlands sound ( Jury, Medusa, Grinder, VOC ..) and he was progressive too, could go big band. I mean maturing i though i was stupid as hell, thinking that he was " simple" the guy had chops too, and a great style. Going back to it, Dave participated, and had that groove while beign pretty much punk hardcore before its time in urgence. Raw stuff, listen Rapid Fire, steeler, live versions of Riding on the wind, SFV or Freewheel Burning, also others older tracks, the drive of Delivering the goods, the dynamics and switches of White Heat Red Hot, Genocide, Starbreaker, Sinner.. And the last but not least, as opposite to what people might suppose, or accuse, as unfortunally hypocrite Halford & Tipton, Dave murdered Ram It Down live, no missing a beat, adding bass drum accents and playing it 1,5 twice as fast. Its lethal, hardcore. Go listen the New Haven version 1988.

[@jefo2405]

Very nice reaction video, and the song keeps giving me goosebumps. I have since I heard it in my youth progressed to mostly Dominator music, but this is just so incredibly natural and good old metal, it will never leave my soul!

[@gregbartley2475]

I played this song on 10 at my hs grad party in ‘78. My buddies loved it. My aunts, not so much.

[@raydotzler9117]

Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Arena 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@weshoward450]

So glad you did the studio version. There are some killer live versions, but you get a lot of subtle textures and richness in the studio version that get traded in for raw energy and adrenaline. BTW - I totally embrace the classic rock label for old Judas Priest. They didn't create Heavy Metal, but they did a LOT to define it as the early pioneers pushing the limits of rock and transitioning to metal. This whole album is a banger! BTW - if you want to check some Dave Holland era JP, listen to "Sinner" (Live Vengeance 82 version)

[@ididthisonpulpous6526]

Amazing song, amazing reaction!

[@Lemmys_Mole]

Called the "mighty" Priest, for a reason

[@gcdumas2928]

This album is a true masterpiece and in my opinion, their best! Although not their most commercial/popular albums, but their most technically sound. This song in particular is what got me into 🤘Metal 🤘 back in the early 80’s. Rob is a metal god for sure, he can still bring it today, 50 years later… we saw them live last month and still amazing! Thank you for another awesome reaction

[@blackfender100]

These guys were broke when they recorded this album. It was do or die. One of my favorite priest albums.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤯

[@RMiles-jd2ze]

Hey Andrew, the drummer Jos Zoomer from Vandenburg 1982 is amazing. His drum fills are beautiful. He plays Roto Toms.

[@WishForTheNight]

[@jack-k6z7n]

THE LIVE IS EVEN BETTER

[@jonathandemeris]

Oh yes that's a great great one but still I can't take the live version out of my mind 'cause it's even better in energy (in my opinion)

[@tarinindell8217]

Genuinely an outstanding song. To contrast how their style has changed over time, your next step should be Painkiller.

[@terrylandess6072]

The song that made 'Spinal Tap' a reality. :P

[@deen261]

This whole album is Gold 💯%🔥🔥🔥

[@srudine]

Cool. This is the first time I have listened to the studio version. I only knew the Unleashed In The East version and this is unique. Sweet.

[@chriscrim751]

OMG! I've never heard this song before and I'm a 50 year old Metalhead since '84. For some reason I never got much into Judas Priest besides what I heard. Never heard this! This is totally awesome!

[@terrylandess6072]

Yeah - Pain Killer gets a lot of 'face time' but I find it tiresome compared to the intricately crafted works prior.

[@isopropyltoxicity]

Priest is better than iton maiden by a massive margin thats for sure maiden vocals are kinda cringe sometimes to mee and it seems they try way too hard to seem epic but just fall flat for me

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

In 1984 Priest recorded one of their greatest albums Defenders of the Faith. How could you miss Judas Priest if you were a real metalhead.

[@xtop23]

Incredible track

[@DanSpengler]

Can't believe I never heard this before, always assumed I had since I only casually followed Priest. This absolutely must have been a major influence on Paul Di'Anno, I can hear this all over the first two Maiden albums.

[@Raiden-bn1ep]

Rob Halford has sung once or twice with Sabbath live in early 2000 when Ozzy was sick

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That’d be a great fit

[@whitedrguy6503]

Every song on the album is top notch, sad wings and sin after sin are my opinion their best albums.

[@ThomasCollier-rs9yz]

I bought this album when it was first released . Whole album is great.

[@AlanMcarthur-g9e]

Absolutely one of metals all time classics. Friend loved cover bought it. We didn't know anything about. Put this song on and the world of metal was saved. Being the second half 70s metal was unwelcome. Bleak period. Than we heard this.......unbelievable!!!!!! Their best material easily.

[@dwoehrma]

The foundational foundations of metal!! Yes it was classic rock but it started to go on steroids mid 70s and it was not popular at all. The cool folks were listening to eagles & fleetwood mac or disco even...

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Well even in VOC there s some riffs and vocal elements that some thrash bands took and the growl at the end, classic rock ? Naaa

[@salsaucedo]

I still believe that Sad Wings of Destiny was Hard Rock to its core, now between Sin After Sin and Hell Bent for Leather was the changing point that Heavy Metal was created we all know how Staind Glass is the one that solidified the new sound of Heavy Metal. Gosh I love this era of rock music, Judas and UFO were hitting hard with the British invasion, then we got the Canadian Invasion that brought back the tone of Hard Rock with bands like Rush, April Wine, Triumph, and blues rock with Pat Travers, and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush to name a few. In my opinion, Black Sabbath was not that great with the Ozzy era, until he left the band the real talent of Tony Iommi was released in 1980 with Heaven and Hell one of the greatest metal albums ever made

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Sad Wings is Heavy metal, but this as the 2 others they wrote the book from the first wave they are part off, and the future, with what you know of heavy metal by the nwobhm and a lot of elements and songs that laid the ground for what became extreme metal.

[@salsaucedo]

@@Nissardpertugiu to each their own concept, even the words heavy metal didn't exist at that time.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@salsaucedo There s litterally some reviews from Deep Purple in 1973 and Judas Priest in 1974 where Heavy Metal is written, It was used since Steppen wolf song in 1968. Maybe not in regular basis, but it did existed

[@SteveGans-y4k]

Know how you can always tell whether it was Glenn or KK playing the solo? If it sounds like the guitarist is trying to rip the whammy bar off of the guitar, it's KK.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Sometimes its deceiving because KK can play very melodic stuff too or very technically articulate. But often, other than the abstract mean Whammy Bar, KK is the ripping sound, more corrosive, agressive, even in riffs Glenn is more " round ", written. Their placement is not the same. Glenn is more like in the middle, or distanced from the rythm section KK is freaking Funky, very very close to Ian Hill and drummer as unit block. If you listen on headphones you hear it even if its subtil, its not big. Even live. Also most of the time KK is on the left speaker and Glenn the right. Except on Defenders Of The Faith, i believe.

[@buzzbomb67]

He really had his Hendrixisms down, on that earlier material! That poor whammy got some serious abuse lol

[@alfwalker5698]

[@donmcknight5273]

Bro listen to the entire record and then Sin after a sin then Stained class. They transformed and evolved more than any band and laid the foundation to thrash and speed metal. 80s priest is classic metal. Then you must listen to Painkiller. That is the hardest metal track ever. Rob is known throughout the community ad the Metal God so you nailed it. Painkiller got a new drummer a Scott Travis from Racer X. The drum intro is nuts. 7 minutes of pure metal destruction

[@kevinmayden122]

Just remember they were just kids in their 20's

[@Timmayytoo]

I can see why he recommended the original studio version, but I find their later live versions of their early songs to be the "perfected" versions, as the band incorporates their later musical sensibilities into them. Rob Halford had a killer solo band in the early Aughts before he rejoined Priest... they played a lot of JP songs in their live sets and their versions of several of JP's early songs are stellar.

[@kenhewitt7357]

Unleashed in the east is the best version.

[@kraken_slg6465]

Just listened to Chris Turner - 10K, idk how to get this to you but holy jeez, check this out!! 🤯

[@Omegatonyisgod]

Unleashed in the East is fake news kinda. I believe something happened to the vocals files and the vocals had to be re-recorded. So it's not fully live though it's neat aF. I like this version better though

[@Omegatonyisgod]

By the way, your friend lied to you. Dreamer Deceiver/ Deceiver are the best 1 in 2 songs in this album. Dont mind the name! I suspect they named it this way to solidly signal to the fans that these 2 songs are supposed to be listened to one after the other. Actually it is very arguable that Dreamer is the best performance of Halford hands down.

[@ljupcotanushoski2154]

Too mush Plant like voice and Zeppelin vibe.

[@bigman55434]

Simon Phillips was and is a phenomenal drummer, but he was not the Judas Priest sound. He had much more success with Toto and as a session drummer with other bands. With that said, Dave Holland was what I would consider the best priest drummer during their most successful era. Scott Travis is also an excellent drummer, and the faster tempo albums, like painkiller would not have impossible without him.
