Judas Priest - Sinner (Live Vengeance '82) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@michaelmichael1001]

Sin after sin came out in 1977. To this day it's still one of the best metal albums ever made.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Sinner and Starbreaker are so freakin good on that album! Prefer the live version off of Unleashed in the East to this version.

[@biloki3079]

@@norwegianblue2017 Disadent aggressor and Diamons and Rust are incredible as well!

[@norwegianblue2017]

@@biloki3079 Yeah, both are great. But Diamonds and Rust is a cover, so they only get partial credit for that one.

[@demon_3x]

@@norwegianblue2017 moreso a total rendition though than anything.

[@Froggeth81]

Agreed it's one of my top JP albums. Containing the underrated gem Here Come The Tears 🤘

[@Les-vp8si]

So glad I grew up in this era , would hate to have missed it.

[@ghostpasha9076]

This was an excellent pick - not just the song (their best IMO), but also for the actual live performance, complete with their look and demeanor. If this live concert clip was the only metal recording that survives a thousand years, future archaeologists will be able to fundamentally understand the genre.

[@johnfields4289]

K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton are one of the best guitar duos ever to grace the stage.

[@TheFlashpoint69]

I am glad both of you are reacting to this song. This is what metal is all about. KK and Glenn the dynamic duo of the twin axe attack.

[@billozzy5760]

Thats why Judas Priest is Metal gods....

[@realscience948]

Sin after Sin album is hailed as one of the most important metal albums of all time! It literally initiated the metal sound we know today, moving away from the heavy blues influence into a new realm … called metal!

[@Nissardpertugiu]

And Speed

[@davidmerlin6787]

Judas priest were the first to do a lot of things on guitar.... Even before iron maiden.

[@rickyesch1586]

The one and only time I saw them was 1982 at the Aladin in Vegas. What a show, what a show!

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

KKs time to shine, BIG

[@tbradley6250]

Saw Judas Priest in 1984 in Houston. Best concert ever!

[@rockerforlife194]

KK Downing and Glenn Tipton are 2 of the greatest guitar players, ever! Great channel/job, you two!

[@lukasribeiro8660]

Rob Halford best vocal.

[@michaelmachado7934]

I was their in Madison Square Garden 1982. It was awesome

[@ronnieredneck9162]

Seeing that shit live was life changing.

[@ronnieredneck9162]

By live I mean in the stadium. For me it was 88 Ram it Down tour. Opened with Electric Eye witht he entire stadium washed in colbolt blue. Never ever seen a better band live. Not Maiden or Slayer or Anthrax , no one. The absolute best. The two hours just came and went like ecstasy. Priest absolutely ruled.

[@Lord_Heron]

My favourite Priet song, great performance. Best metal band ever.

[@pietersrudi8283]

In this formation with Holland as drummer

[@Dougmcjock]

Seen them at the old Glasgow Apollo in 1980. Couldnt move my neck for a week after and couldnt hear anything for a good few days later. Best gig I ever went to!

[@78gagta78]

Priest was shredding in the 70s and still are in 2022

[@jackieflowers7158]

It is the best DVD concert that one can own!

[@willwillis6184]

Ahhh my favorite band from the eighties... I would go to school blasting this every morning, Graduated 86

[@johnnelson3869]

This is why old farts like me find new music hard to enjoy. The bar has been high for a long time.

[@anthonykiszka4976]

Exactly!

[@davidburrows4801]

Lol yeah too right!

[@toddgross8099]

I was so lucky to see Judas priest when they were just a start up band. Then I saw them in 82 83 And several times again. It was so loud and mind blowing and mind altering.

[@joeallegra556]

The blueprint for Heavy Metal from this point forward!

[@G_Machine_Joe]

This brings back so many memories and emotions. I bought the VHS of this show in 1987. (still have it) This entire concert was so intense. Top of their game and OVER the top. Damn...wish it was the 80's again. If you can get ahold of it, you NEED to watch this entire show.

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

Judas Priest the gods of metal.

[@agusdarmaya6686]

Since 1977..still the best. So much energy..🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 This is crazy.....

[@paulhabat6338]

After they do Devils Child You can see KK look at Rob to see if he's ok. Rob grabs his neck towards the end of the song after he puts everything into his screams. You have to watch the whole thing to notice that .

[@jasonscism9286]

KK is soooo under rated. Dude is a beast

[@RedPillLife1966]

When Gods walked the earth. Today's Metal can't hold a candle to these guys.

[@paulhabat6338]

Proof that they are the metal Gods! FLAT Out!!!!

[@sean7735]

That was fun!

[@JohandeHakkelaar]

Amazing and in 1979 they released Unleashed in the East. 43 years ago. That whole live album is smoking heavy!

[@michaelarmour1555]

I got to see them in 79 with Scorpions and Def Leppard for $7.75 one of the greatest shows I've seen, right up front.

[@tedcuff9155]

They played the US Festival in 83 the weekend I graduated high school. I saw them in 84 and my ears rang for a week. One of the best shows I ever saw. Classic!!!

[@markwoods2670]

I was there .....1982 Memphis Tennessee Mid South Coliseum what a show that was.

[@maureenwagg5305]

Nothing like Priest from the eighties. I saw them live back then in Toronto. They were so loud my ears rang for a couple of weeks lol Best day of my life.

[@sean7735]

Nice but '77

[@michaelivan9066]

KK Downing performed all of those whammy bar antics with a stock fender Stratocaster tremolo. No locking nut or ant of that stuff. Pure genius.

[@birdmanhero]

He didnt cut the bridge like Eddie Van Halen used to either

[@comeonman9138]

THE GREATEST HEAVY METAL BAND EVER

[@gregjohnson298]

Tipton and Downing cannot be replaced in Priest,this is the real deal here,fantastic!

[@kiillabytez]

I really like the way your hair matches your headphones! Totally bad assed!

[@scottlindsay5048]

Mind blowing

[@m.ericwatson968]

Did take JP a few albums to figure out their image in the late '70's, their stage persona as it were, but once they adopted singer Rob Halfords denim and leather and chains aesthetic it all fell into place, it literally became "THE metal fashion", the rock and roll/heavy metal uniform if you will; even a pair of worn-out skinny jeans, a black hoodie, a studded belt w/a wallet chain, emo bands adopted that visual aesthetic, modified it and maybe didn't realize where it originated. Such a cool band, true pioneers in so many ways, "Sabbath made it Heavy, but Priest made it Metal!"

[@jimharris367]

All hail the Priest 🤘🤘🤘

[@kevinwagner542]

Great reaction. Judas Priest is the bar! Further proof of why KK and Glenn are the best ever twin guitar attack and Rob is the metal god!

[@laurakali6522]

Just got home from seeing them here in Connecticut. What a show!

[@sumonjamal1653]

'Sinner' was the opening track on Judas Priest's 3rd album 'Sin after sin' in 1977... the band had been signed to indie label Gull Records in the UK and were going bust, until a US label CBS Records signed them in '77 (They had to abandon their Gull contract and get no royalties from 1st two Priest albums) But Priest was still new to the game, and didn't have this 'leather & studs' image back then... the Harley bike onstage came later in 1978... In '77, they had to deliver in the studio... so Deep Purple's bassist Roger Glover came in and produced the record 'Sin after sin'... Their drummer Alan Moore was fired, and Simon Phillips played drums for the band in the studio, but declined to join Priest. Released in 1977, 'Sin after sin' was not a big record at first... it went gold years later in the US. Judas Priest toured North America for the first time as an opening band for R.E.O. Speedwagon... and people were not ready for that intense level of heavy metal. It was Rob Halford (vocals) who got into leather wear that he bought at an S&M shop in London back in 1978... and it looked great, so the other members started wearing leather jackets & metal studs as well... By 1979, both the UK and US had begun to embrace Judas Priest commercially... they were big in Japan by that point. It was the 'British steel' album in 1980 that gave them their first gold record. By 1982, Judas Priest was playing arenas worldwide and was the biggest heavy metal band at that time... Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson recalled opening for Priest in 1982 and said it was like "a panzer division rolling over you" and this concert video captured Priest in their prime. Dave Holland (drums) was on the kit from 1980 til 1989, and got into some trouble years later... but he was a phenomenal drummer as u can see... he passed away in 2018.

[@MrHotrodz69]

They’re still shredding

[@michaelvaughn7735]

That is how the 80s was. I lived it & saw preist in 83.

[@jackteppo9633]

I've seen Unleashed in the east some years later Painkiller live . Yes I'm old. Lol have a Blessed 2023

[@ctfan1486]

This concert fron Memphis is the greatest metal concert ever by the greatest, and most important, metal band of all time. I dont know if it was doctored up at all but my God its incredible!

[@paulhabat6338]

K.KS DIVE BOMBS!?? THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1976 OR 77 ON THE SIN AFTER SIN ALBUM AND WAS ALSO ON UNLEASHED IN THE EAST LIVE IN JAPAN! THE METAL WORLD DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE THAT PRIEST WAS DOING THIS AT THE TIME! YOU HAD TO BE INTO THE SERIOUS METAL SCENE BACK THEN TO KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF! IM 58 YEARS YOUNG AND HAVE BEEN A METAL FAN AND GUITARIST FOR OVER 47 YEARS AND THESE GUYS ARE PIONEERS OF METAL

[@theDML2112]

Witnessing this performance for the first time in 1982 made me a die-hard Priest fan 🤘🔥🤘

[@Thorkildzen]

Quite possibly the greatest fucking song of all time

[@christopherglock7239]

She's so dam wicked

[@89801wink]

Blew my mind when I saw this tour live in '82. Still listening to this day.

[@ZFlyingVLover]

40 yrs ago we had JP, Van Halen, Randy Rhoads/Ozzy, YJM, Ratt, etc and That's just Metal. We were lighting it up in Rock Too. 4 hr concerts for $10 from 1 group!!!! And We didn't know how good we had it until we got old.

[@larryplympton9727]

Long live the Metal Gods! Awesome reaction video, and as a older fan, it thrills me to see how much you guys appreciate the talent and artistry of one of THE progenitors of metal! Oh, if you want a really good example of Rob's vocal capabilities, check out Diamonds and Rust from the Unleashed in the East Album.

[@Sklangsi]

You know...I grew up in a time where rock was everything. I grew up in the 70s in Hawaii. And I was fortunate to see Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Scorpions, Triumph, Doobie Bros, Molly Hatchet, Rush, Ted Nugent Blue Oyster Cult, Def Leppard and much more. Best of times for music....LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@richiepiccerillo2592]

That was early 70s studio album they did also on unleashed in the east in mid late 70s live I was at all there shows from point of entry to screaming for vengeance 79” to 85”

[@hemlock399]

Awesome performance of an awesome song. Sin After Sin is one o several innovative Priest albums that exercise a *huge* influence on the evolution of rock / metal. All hail the Priest!

[@jackteppo9633]

That's just blwn my f-ing mond!mind!!

[@davidmel2158]

Yea 1982 was THE year ..... graduated high school, my first band played out for the first time ..... we were called TRYANT with an ode to Priest ..... did alot of their tunes but SINNER was 10 notches above. Man the pipes of Rob back then were incredible. Seeing them for the first time in '81 was gamechanging with a young Iron Maiden warming up. Man if only we knew how historic those shows have become. How people say what a great time to be alive, much less in your teens. I am honored to be in that group & witness the birth of modern metal. Cheers!!

[@guyconiglio8221]

Saw them in '81 when I was in 9th grade. Iron Maiden and Whitesnake (original lineup) opened, in a small theater (2400 seats) The show was insane- I saw them a bunch of times after that I was so blown away. One of the best live bands in the 80s for sure.

[@BradCooney]

I'll never forget the first time I heard Judas Priest. Then I got to see them LIVE during their "Screaming for Vengeance" tour. Pretty sure the tinnitus in my ears is because of that concert. JP one of the all time greatest metal bands in history.

[@efakter1]

Classic Judas Priest! So fun watching you two smile and rock out 🎸 to one of the greatest Metal bands on the planet

[@pthor6265]

In 1982 it was an impossibility to hear this on the radio. Priest, Maiden, Def Lep, Metallica, Megadeth, Scorpions, it was all word of mouth. Zero radio play, until 1985, they got more airtime from MTV than anywhere else. The Sentinel and Hell Bent for Leather are great songs, if ya haven't done them already.

[@Steeler_]

what is so incredible is that they brought this song out again in 2018 and nailed it

[@m.ericwatson968]

Ritchie did it justice without stealing KK's thunder, he must have played that solo hundreds of times on his own just for fun, long before ever considering he would one day...

[@maquit2210]

Masters

[@josephhernandez9428]

They were shredding this song in 1976 's live album, Unleashed in the East-Live in Japan, which was 6 years prior!

Unleashed is' 79

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

Unleashed is an album I play several times a year every year. 😊👍

Mindblowing performance, im glad you reacted to this, enjoyed the buzz from you both, thank you.

[@jonmallek7746]

Saw them over 40 times dating back to 1979, the greatest band that ever walked on a stage.

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

Oldschool Priest! Love how you think it's over, then at 8:34 the drums start the last transition with the raw riff guitars attack 4 sec later @8:38. This is so funny, a bunch of teens not native us or gb listened the crap out of "Unleashed in The East" and 4:49 he starts that da-dabba-da-da-damska-dabba"' we didnt get it but sang along laughing our asses off because it was so cool and til this day it hits me just a as hard ☻ Tyrant Ripper Exciter Delivering the goods Bell went for heather Rocka Rolla Grinder Ps. Dont forget the drumming, heavy labourwork right there! Add Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy) and Mick Tucker (Sweet) that could well be my top three '♥ '♥ '♥

[@lancerx1759]

If you like Sinner live you'll love Victim of Changes live

[@jfender8023]

Bananas are not a fruit, the song was written in 76 and released on Sin after Sin 1977,The bar was set much earlier! Thats what happens when you have the main music contributor play piano as Tipton and EVH do.

[@laudanum669]

Oh yeah, Priest and Maiden were the kings of 2-guitar Metal when I was in high school. So many great Metal memories. The 80's were the most exciting time for music, (although these bands began in the '70's, they really exploded in the early '80's).
