[@EattheApple666]

The Sentinel off the same album is a masterpiece. Priest!!!

[@FeralPatrick]

EPIC! Easily one of my all-time faves.

[@gordjones1765]

Absolutely the best on the Album!

[@johnpelfrey2425]

Definitely

[@gregoryhuffman3071]

Gotta check out some Priest with Les Binks or Simon Phillips on the drums! Dig in mate!

[@lawrencefine5020]

The Metal Gods Anything from their Unleashed In The East Live in Japan would be great. Les Binks, IMHO, was their best drummer. Exciter (Proto Thrash) Beyond the Realms Of Death Sinner Dissident Aggressor Green Manilishi (Fleetwood Mac Remake) Tyrant Hellbent For Leather As good as they were in the 80's, their best stuff was in the mid to late 70's with Les Binks.

[@hemlock399]

Great recommendations!

[@pentagrammaton6793]

I love 80s Priest, but if you want the best drumming from them, then regardless of jukebox donations you're wasting your time with this and NEED to listen to both Sin After Sin and Stained class from the late 70s. By the 80s, the rhythm section was streamlined and simplified to compete with the big studio sounds of the era. \m/ \m/

[@La_sagne]

@@pentagrammaton6793 thats why as a drummer my favourite priest song is saints in hell, but you are right. those albums have a fantastic rhythm section overall

[@pentagrammaton6793]

@@La_sagne yeah, Simon Philips and Les Binks \m/

[@JonMallek]

Not even close to Glam.

[@MissingMars]

glam metal, not the glam rock of the 70's.

[@La_sagne]

@@JonMallek its definitely got glam metal elements

[@kurtrusselltownmassacre6802]

​@@La_sagne Priest is like the most traditional Heavy Metal band there is, nothing glam about them. 70s glam is like T.Rex, New York dolls, sweet, Alice Cooper ect. 80s glam is ratt, poison, Cinderella ect. If someone is a NWOBHM fan they will always have a Judas Priest patch on their jacket.

[@glenjunk5100]

YESSS.....do more PRIEST...HUGE catalog of great stuff dude..

[@YouLoseSir]

There are much better tracks from JP than this, imo this doesn't showcase what makes them great

[@hemlock399]

Really not sure how this qualifies as glam, but that's neither here nor there. Priest was never a drum-centric band, least of all in the 80s (even though some of their 80s output is truly excellent). For drums, I'd recommend "Exciter" from 1979's Unleashed in the East (live in Japan).

[@kardeef33317]

Any of Sceaming for Vengeance or Defenders of the Faith. The 2 albums I had as a teen in the 80's

[@jefo2405]

Classic Heavy Metal (not glam) ;)

[@lemmyisking9512]

To be clear, there is nothing glam about Judas Priest. They were one of the originators of what is now considered classic heavy metal and one of the first bands to proudly apply the label heavy metal to their music. Sin After Sin, Stained Class, and Killing Machine/Hell Bent For Leather were foundational albums in early heavy metal, but the 1980 album British Steel was a culmination of the now-iconic heavy metal style that they had been building up to that point. Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith saw Priest further develope and refine their sound, showcasing the band at their heavy metal best. They have continued to tour and record albums over the almost forty years since, and just released a killer new album, Invincible Shield, earlier this year. Side note: As mentioned in this reaction and analysis video, Dave Holland was in Trapeze prior to joing Judas Priest. His bandmates were Glenn Hughes, later of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, among many others, and Mel Galley, later of Whitesnake.

[@dathorndike4908]

Dave Holland was their longtime drummer, and he never gets the credit he deserved.

[@LeeB41]

You need to listen to "The Sentinal" from this album; "Defenders Of The Faith". Other songs to check out; "You've Got Another Thing Coming", "Metal Gods", and then check out "Painkiller".

[@ericdudemanofthedudes]

Great to see you enjoying Priest for the first time! I’d recommend: -Victim of Changes -Beyond The Realms of Death -Dissident Aggressor -Sinner -Painkiller -The Rage

[@ll7868]

First Judas Priest song I learned on drums was Some Heads Are Gonna Roll from Defenders Of The Faith, that whole album takes me back to 1984/85 playing along by ear to the stereo with my step-mom yelling down to basement "WILL YOU PLEASE STOP BANGING ON THOSE DRUMS FOR 5 MINUTES!!!" Which was my cue to take a toke break. Ram It Down, the title track from their '86 album is also a pretty high energy tune on par with Freewheel Burning and Painkiller.

[@whitedrguy6503]

You got your glam and hair metal mixed up, glam was early seventies, Sweet, David Bowie, Slade, T Rex, etc, hair metal is the eighties , Poison, Motley Crüe, etc, Judas Priest is Heavy Metal along with Saxon, Iron Maiden, commonly known as the new wave of British Heavy Metal. You should have a listen to Lovebites, a modern day mixture of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, an all girl band from Japan, Haruna on drums is a beast, double kick machine gun. Soldier Stands Solitary is a killer track live, the rebirth of Eighties metal.

[@PurpleDreki]

Great groove. Pretty typical of Dave Holland's technique. Plays what is needed. Not too much fluff. 🤘The Mighty Priest!

[@La_sagne]

saw them live recently.. scott travis was one of the funnest drummers ive ever watched play live. my recommendation for judas priest would be "saints in hell"

[@olsondc666]

80s Priest was a pretty influential time...British Steel, Point of Entry, Screaming For Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, and yes even Turbo was ok...capping off tge decsde with Painkiller. Few bands can boast this success back to back.

[@peterdoe2617]

Off topic, Andrew: Eivor Palsdottir will play a concert in Auckland, nov, 19th. (Just mailing it to my brother in the US. I'll be watching her on wednesday, here in Hamburg. And the band IGNEA from Ukraine on saturday. Who once covered her song I Tokuini.) Just to spread the word. Have you ever heard of both? it'll be my 3rd time watching her. Missed IGNEA last year 'cause of CoVid. I'm excited! Teaser for Eivor would be Trollabundin and Falling Free. Came across IGNEA with their song Alga.

[@tonysmith3501]

Trapeze worth a listen 1970ish ,Holland the drummer before he joined Judas Priest along with Glen Hughes before in join Deep Purple

[@rickandgen]

🤘🤘 Saw them twice on this tour! 🤘🤘

[@EattheApple666]

Me too, the bonus of living is NY Metro area.

[@rickandgen]

@@EattheApple666 Providence RI, the beginning of the tour and then they came back through at the end.

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

This is not glam. It is classic heavy metal

[@zim1970]

Halford and Dio in there prime for me were the best metal vocalists ever 🤘

[@stevedockeray]

They do a pretty good version of Fleetwood Macs Green Manalishi on the Unleashed in the East album

[@FeralPatrick]

Anything off of Screaming for Vengeance - you can't go wrong. Priest was my first favorite metal band and will remain a favorite till I die. Rob Halford is a metal god!

[@markmilner842]

That was one of the tours I saw them on. Great show. For Rob’s voice, check out some earlier tracks like The Ripper, Sinner, Saints in Hell.

[@evilvolts]

Painkiller Lovebites Cover (Audio Track Haruna on drums) .......Oh wait better yet a Lovebites original from Judgement Day album 2023 (Named after Lzzy Hale song Love Bites So Do I) Lovebites Soldier Stands Solitarily Live Memorial for the Warrior Souls kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWHciJypnrd1q68 195 BPM

[@DerrickCharles5750]

As I Lay Dying just dropped a new single this morning featuring Alex Terrible from Slaughter to Prevail and Tommy Barber from Chelsea Grin. The As I Lay Dying’s single is called “We are the Dead.” This song is so good that I have it on repeat constantly. 🔥🔥🔥

[@buzzbomb67]

Lol I KNEW youd love this, Andrew! I fought between The Sentinel, Heavy Duty/Defenders, and this one, all from the same album, and a bunch of commenters are all saying The Sentinel. Next request, I think, is gonna be from Sin After Sin… Dissident Aggressor, and their cover of Gun’s Race With The Devil. BUT Ive got The Sentinel on the back burner too. Its hard to know where to go, cuz there’s so much fantastic material! sure there are some weaker tracks, but I could pick just about any song, from any album, especially pre-85, and have a winner! The whole Winter/Deep Freeze/Winter Retreat/Cheater medley from their debut 1974 album, Rocka Rolla. Victim Of Changes from 1975’s Sad Wings Of Destiny. Exciter from Stained Class Genocide from Unleashed In The East Hell Bent For Leather’s title track. Breaking The Law or Living After Midnight from 1980’s British Steel. Those are just the bigger tracks. From that time period. As for Glam, if anything, its a STRONG possibility that the Glam bands took Judas Priest, and made it more palatable for the general public. But Judas Priest pre-dates the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, and along with Motörhead, helped establish the sound that created bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard, Venom, etc. Judas Priest was definitely considered much heavier for the time than Mötley Crüe, Ratt or Poison. I do get, that by todays standards, it has that same early-to-mid-80s sound, though, but I would be careful about lumping them in with Glam. Priest fans are quick to distance themselves, even if they were fans of both Priest and the Glam bands. However, post Defenders, Priest did have a couple albums (ahem: Turbo, specifically), that did try to fit in better with the 80s Metal scene, which cost them a lot of album sales. This may be why you never heard about Priest in conjunction with any of the Glam bands. Though it wouldnt surprise me if they toured with some, they weren’t considered Glam, per se, just Metal. As I said before on the last vid, I think, Priest are considered to be the band who changed Heavy Metal to Metal, by lowering the blues influences. The first few albums were still very blues based, but over time, they just lowered the blues knob on their amps, so to speak lol

[@mannybravo237]

Seen this tour, Defenders...KK Downing headbanging the entire show, I was surprised how awesome the concert was🤘🏻. If anything, call Priest "Metal", they were heavy metal long before the hairspray spandex glam bands scene pop'd. Beavis n Buttheads fav jam: Breakin' the Law!

[@Coldethel123456]

For some great drumming listen to Exciter (Stained Class album) and Rock Forever (Sin after Sin). Nice drumming in both. In fact every song on each of those albums has great drumming.

[@Mr1Tanker]

I think you need to check out the band SAGA. A great Canadian group who charted very well through 80's. The song "Without You" has some tasty drumming and guitar as well. Hope you get a chance maybe react to it one day. Hi From Belleville, Ontario Canada....home to several celebs and Pro sports athletes.

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

Holland was good but far from best . The best drummer of Judas Priest is Scott Travis. Listen to Painkiller.

[@kevinwagner542]

Thanks for doing this, one of my favorite tracks. Just killer! As you mentioned the drummer here was Dave Holland. If you do "Painkiller", which you should, that would be Scott Travis, who joined in 1990 and is there still. Priest was never glam, they were always classic heavy metal and basically created the leather and studs look we all know. Yes, do more of them.

[@ewyss9206]

Oh, Rooney's reviewing Holland-era Priest? Immediately jump to comment section to read all the butthurt comments about why this is not proper Priest 😂 Every other album he drummed on, the band reinvented the JP sound and it's the commercially most successful era of the band...

[@davidedipaolo8640]

Dude if you really want to hear the condemsed greatness of this group in ALL parts, singer, instrument all together, you should really listen to Battle Hymn/One shot at glory. Its from the same album of painkiller and its the last song of the album too. i fell in love with this group the first time with that banger

[@crosario9648]

drumeo iconic drumming behind hypnosis sleep token pleaseeeee

[@BrianYates-ue8hf]

I started playing right around when Screaming For Vengeance the album before this came out (age 10) and it was the best music for a beginner bc it taught me about pocket and having a solid back beat much like Phil Rudd had done for me Then later that decade GNR released Appetite and it was over Steven Adler is a goat still alive SOBER and still playing 🖤🧐✌️😎

[@killboybands1]

Absolutly! Bloodstone has so much pocket the groove could have been on a 70's Stevie Wonder funk track.

[@shamwow7996]

[@satanihelvetet]

A great song by a great band... but not the most exciting and cutting edged drumwised.

[@javierramos9795]

They buried the drum in the mix, they did Dave Holland dirty on this one.

[@hemlock399]

Priest is my long-time favourite band, but they were *never* a drum band, least of all in the 80s. Not dissing Holland, it just wasn't their sound. They were always first and foremost a vocals and guitar band, *especially* in the 80s.

[@brianmanata5182]

MORE PRIEST

[@a.k.1740]

Generic mid-80s metal with a dreadful drumming sound. Next time listen instead to their albums Sin After Sin (1977) with the great Simon Phillips on drums, Stained Class, Killing Machine (both 1978) and the live Unleashed in the East (1979) with the fantastic Les Binks!😉

[@jackteppo9633]

Saw the Priest 2 times. Unleashed in the east and Painkiller concerts. Alice Cooper was with the band concert. "Operation Rock and Roll" was the name of the killer show

[@jackteppo9633]

1991

[@MRaudiodude]

🤟

[@WishForTheNight]

Great song indeed and love the quality doesnt always need HD. But painkiller deffinately has one of the most recognisable drum intros in metal.

[@donnelson6694]

Not a big fan of this one but Dave delivers a solid performance.
