Ian Hills bass playing was pretty awesome on the early priest albums. Once they found their sound as a band, he dialed it back big time in order to serve the songs better. He is and always was an incredible bassist.
I recently saw him explaining how while Ken & Glen traded off on solos, His Job was to make sure the beat stayed constant. He showed how he did the bass to Hell Bent, but, as you say, unlike Steve Harris, Jimmy Lea & Geddy Lee, he somehow gets lost in the mix. Even so, when I saw them live a few times.
This is fucking fantastic!! So cool listening to the original ideas and how they morph into something completely different by the time it hits the studio or producers…. And this version of “victim of changes” ( whiskey woman) is truly a whole different song and great in its own right!! Just another testament to the greatness Of the mighty JUDAS PRIEST!! Thank you for posting this !! And thank you Judas Priest for 50 years Of awesomeness and badassery!!
This is pretty cool. I remember reading a while back that when the Rocka Rolla album was released, that the producer cut out a bunch of songs the band wanted in it, so it could be more radio friendly. This was apparently one of them, as it is almost identical to Victim of Changes. Maybe it was a good thing the producer butchered it, as Sad Wings of Destiny is one of my favorite albums. But it is pretty cool to hear the early version of the song and see how it changed the band.

This demo must be heard by every single Judas Priest fan in the whole entire world.🤘🤘
With the addition of Glen , Ian Hills solid bass playing gets buried in the mix. When it's just him and Ken it's apparent how underrated he is!

Whaaaaat? OMG
Muy bueno
I just realize JP almost had same history as Scorpions : started a band, then break up, joined other band & re-named it with previous band's name. 😅
wonder when kk switched to the flying V
They should record it 2025 !
Vocal’s are unparralleled !
Rob Halford of course.Come on.
This really sounds like Rob to me.
its Rob
If this is Rob he sure adjusted his singing.
Because he is him..
@@joevallone7313 It sounds the same.
They both were in judas priest in 73 so it could be either
Is this Allan? Or Rob?
Sounds pretty great either way.
It's Rob, look at the description this recording is KK, Rob, Ian and Hinch
Rob became the lead singer of Priest in 1971, and this demo is from 1973. So definitely Halford.
@@Retro_Man_76wrong. Rob halford joined midway through 1973
Is Rob HALFORD
✌️✌️👍💪
Inesperado
"Sinner" in the making
Victim Of Changes.
To me, this is not Al Atkins. It´s Rob. Don´t lie.
Blues rock
nope
matt sinner in vox..lol
Wait. I thought their first singer was black.
Drummer*
I think it was their first drummer?
That was their fourth Drummer Chris Campbell. Not a single member of the Priest we all know and love is an original member.
Sounds very like Sabbath at this point
no it doesn't
Fake...
no it's not get lost
