I saw them live over the just-ended winter. They are still amazing!! Powerful and skilled. And Rob Halford, singing metal in his 70s, is an inspiration.
No KK Downing, the founder and heart of the band, no Priest. The JP spirit is gone and the primadonnas wanted to keep him out for petty reasons even though he was the one to bring Rob back...
They got along at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony a few months ago, FWIW. They all played nicely together. ua-cam.com/video/Q2E1erh20Q4/v-deo.html
@@MatthewHelmke The Hall of Fame was a cute in-and-out semi-reunion probably also motivated by saving face because of the vast fan criticism Rob, Glenn and Ian were seeing (if they were paying attention), so not because of innate maturity. Otherwise it would have happened earlier and would continue. Even current guitarist Richie Faulkner had very diplomatically lamented the situation where his band mates were refusing to see things from another perspective as to make good relations based on understanding. So in that performance there was still unresolved underlying issues, but every fan, even the ones who realize The RNRHOF actually is a ridiculous thing, can be happy for the classic JP members because it was meaningful to them. Keeping the fire alive 🔥 from the original to the newer bonfires born from it.
Judas Priest is the soundtrack of my life. This band is one of the most versatile and inovative rock artists ever. Go for Victim.of Changes and Beyond of the Realms of Death. Judas Priest FOREVER.
Doug, my suggestions for next Judas Priest song are Victim of Changes (the version from the Unleashed In The East album) and Beyond The Realms of Death. Great songs with Rob singing at his best.
What a fun reaction! The Priest always delivers the goods. Suggestions for next song reaction: "Beyond the realms of death", "The Sentinel", "Diamonds and rust" and my personal favorite "Hellrider" live.
Next time around I recommend one of these Judas Priest songs: either Beyond the Realms of Death, Diamonds and Rust, Victim of Changes, The Green Manalishi, Desert Plains, or The Sentinel
The Green Manalishi is a Peter Green song, performed by Fleetwood Mac in the late sixties. The original version is quite different from the JP one. You probably know all this already.
Doug, "Beyond The Realms of Death" is another great one to analyze. Keep up the great work!! I've been following you now the past couple years and as a guitar player myself for the past 15 yrs, so glad that you educate people about music theory, composition, and everything in between. You provide a great service to the community by doing this and we're so grateful! Rock on brotha!!
Hellion/Electric Eye was the kickoff for the album and it was the opening for my first ever concert on the Screaming For Vengeance tour. They definitely get you jacked up and ready for the rest of it.
I saw priest... some 3 months ago here in Bogotá... along with the so called Pantera nonPantera... it was my fourth Priest show, and I gotta say it was the best. Rob is singing like he was 25... Scott Travis as awesome a drummer as always... and the new guys kicked arse! And they sure kicked Pantera's and everyone else's asses... long live to the Priest!
What a great band... Without spines they have several excellent songs that are so well built. When a band has a good vocalist it's halfway to success. Yet another band that is cherished by generations to come. What a Great Band.
At first I was thinking Doug, stop playing the keyboard over them. But once you got going, I was thinking Doug, don't stop playing the keyboard over them! Some cool improvs in there!
I'm a huge fan of Judas Priest. Way back in 1983/84, Screaming For Vengeance was literally the first thing I bought with money from my first job (paper delivery route). That established, as a long time fan, this is rough to watch. To anyone thinking "What are you talking about?! That performance was badass!", do us both a favor and check out the 1983 live version of this song from Dortmund.
First song I ever heard by Priest when it came out on MTV. It is the first riff I remember ever getting stuck in my head. This song opened the door to "harder" metal for me and was one of those pivot points in music for me :)
Love your enthusiasm for "The Priest" here, Doug!! I'm just going to add my voice to the many others that have already posted here in the same regard for the ultimate Judas Priest song. "VICTIM... OF CHANGES!!", from their classic, live, 1979 "Unleashed in the East" album. This song is considered to be second only in their ENTIRE catalog to "Painkiller". It has compositional, musical dynamics, galore. There are some, well-recognized, musical journalists that have pointed out how this song changed, or even ultimately defined, Heavy Metal. You can't go wrong, here.
This is an incredibly fun video, and probably my favorite priest moment. And yes - that is one hell of a hard driving riff. Good luck finding something that hits harder than this. Would love to have been in that crowd.
I love these reaction videos from all different people, but I always find it so hard to believe people have never heard most of these songs they react to.
Because of the timing of Judas Priests entry onto the world stage right between the giants of the late 60's/early 70's and the California Hair band era of the 80's, they find themselves in a unique place musically. When said and done, they just continued to peak, again and again till there was no where to go, so they just pummeled the scene with a couple more intense albums and called it a day IMO. When I saw them the 'fake' speakers under the raised drum riser parted like double doors and Halford rode his baby out front.
My 1st ever metal concert was Judas Priest when they toured this album in 82. Rob rolled out on stage on a revving Harley. I've been a metalhead ever since. 🤟🤟
I'm always reminded of a singer I played with got some words wrong (no time to take a respite) singing no time to take a rest yet. When I explained it he said 'What's the difference' and we both had a good laugh.
Awesome video Doug.Thank you for playing my favorite band.Judas Priest is the best band.Keep playing Judas Priest videos.I love how you enjoy the music.Keep rocking.🤘
I've seen them several times (maybe I only saw more times Devin Townsend I think, Last time a week ago), and they always do the show, they are the greatest metal band ever, and they are González be forever.
I had this album shortly after it came out. My first metal album. Picture me as a naive freshman in high school sitting on the floor in my bedroom with my jaw on the floor. Fast forward to Nov 10, 1990, Painkiller tour, San Diego. I took my fiance, aHUGE Priest fan, to see them along with Megadeth and Testament. What a show!!
I saw them on last december, for 7th time...GREAT SHOW!! with Stryper, Behemoth, Mercyful Fate and the Return of Pantera!!! Halford Still being the Metal God
Doug you are funny. Classic funny! Deffies the best in the game of reaction to music and needless to say, most important, the most knowledgeable. I liked your jazzy jam there in the middle on the keys. Priceless.
A live version of Victim of Changes would be great to do. Rob’s vocal range on that one is spectacular, and the different musical styles throughout the song are really interesting.
Great to hear more Priest. I am currently about a third the way through Rob.Halfords autobiography. A fabulous read if, like me, you're a book worm and a rock fan. Very best wishes to you and yours Doug. Richard. Isle of Skye.
I have seen them live a few times and they are killer live!!!! Rob basically never stops moving on stage. He can still wail with the best of them. My last time seeing them was pre- Covid when they opened for Deep Purple. What a double bill! You should check out these tracks by Judas Priest: Breaking The Law, Painkiller, Living After Midnight, Electric Eye, Diamonds And Rust (Joan Baez cover), Hell Bent For Leather, Never The Heroes, Judas Rising. Enjoy good sir!
Appreciate your three reaction videos to Judas Priest. Have been listening to and seeing them in concerts for over 45 years. Please consider reacting to the live version of "Victim of Changes" at the U.S. music festival of 1983 in California. Also " Beyond the Realms of Death ". A live version would be great. These two songs are deeply rooted in the psychological problems we all potentially face. After hearing your reaction to Ren "Hi Ren" brings me, and I am sure many other music fans, to mental health issues we all might be keeping from others. Absolutely enjoy your musical and lyrical breakdown of all your reaction videos. Keep the Faith.🤘🎙🎛
Dougie!! Headbangin’ losing your glasses, hair flopping, love it. Also love Rob starting with the Chorale vocal warmup for the audience!! He can’t hit every note he could back in the day, but he definitely makes up for it with attitude, enthusiasm, showmanship, professionalism, and, well, just the fact that he’s Rob Halford!
Slight correction Doug, this version had Scott Travis on drums not Dave Holland, Scott joined the band in 1990 and is still there. More Priest needed, songs like Hammer and the Anvil, Blood Red Skies, Beyond the Realms of Death, Night Crawler. I could go on forever. Love your reactions. Priest Rule, and they come from my home town. 🤘🤘🤘
Love your reactions to metal bands…. Judas Priest is a classic and one of my fist bands I went to see live…. You have to react to breaking the law or electric eye
Judas Priest are amazing and Rob Halford has one of the BEST ranges in all of rock and metal in my opinion! Please checkout the song ‘Halls of Valhalla’ if you’d like to hear his range more Ram it Down All guns blazing Metal meltdown Between the hammer and the anvil Flame thrower Firepower Judas riding These are also some more phenomenal songs which are for sure worth a listen Loved the video Doug! Keep it up :)
This was in Ft Lauderdale. I was actually at this concert. Was really great. You should really do Cathedral Spires. It is with a different singer when Halford left for a time, but it is an amazing song.
Ya, I thought Doug's piano riffing could have made an excellent accompzmiment. I think the blues influence comes mostly from Glenn...you can hear it in many of his solos, moreso than in KK's.
Ian Hill is fundamentally a jazz bassist, having learned it from his jazz bassist father. He provides the bluesy foundation. Ian is too often overlooked. He's solid. Not a busy bassist or glamorous but he is the foundation of it all. Of course, Priest started as a blues-based hard rock band. They were likely the first metal band to largely shed the blues for a whole album when they made British Steel.
Thanks from Sweden. If u got another (Judas Priest) thing coming maybe consider Victims Of Changes. Anyway, thanks from Sweden for all you are doing on YT.
The signum of the NWOBHM shows are that you always sit or stand there with a big smile, emerged in the music! I am a big fan of JP, ALL incarnations. So my recommendation is Cathedral Spires with Tim ”Ripper” Owens, just beacause it is one of their best songs.
Should check out more Priest, they have such a breadth of musical styles and this has always been their overall message and attitude; to be steadfast and believe in yourself despite setbacks and adversity, and there will be much adversity, truly a great and unique band. Thanks Doug!
Priest are just one of the greates Metal bandas of all time, and Rob Halford is getting older, but his voice isn't....and that's amazing!!! you should check one of the live performances of "Diamonds and Rust"!!! Cheers from Portugal!!!
You can tell even back then that Rob was struggling with the high notes. I know it's the end of the show, but when you sing that high in the 70's and 80's, it's no wonder it becomes difficult 30/40/50 years later. I can't hit high notes at all anymore and I'm the same age Halford was here.
Recommendations: "Victim of Changes" and "The Green Manalishi (with the Two Pronged Crown)" - particularly live versions of both. Judas Priest's Unleashed in the East album have great versions, and Live Aid had a great version of the Green Manalishi.
This version is tuned down 1/2 step from the original, originally it was in F sharp, best live version of this one is from the Fuel for Life Tour, Priest Live Album
Was actually thinking there must be some time for some priest. Some good songs to add to list, turbo lover, breaking the law, living after midnight, heading out to the highway.
I really enjoyed that one! I think you would really dig "Run of the Mill." It's a song from their first album, released back in '74. Quite amazing in my opinion.
I think you should check out King Diamond. Just about any song will do but for a specific title I would recommend"Sleepless Nights". Thanks🙂 I enjoyed your Iron Maiden "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" full album video.
3 words: "Victim of Changes"
Hellion Electric Eye 😂
Of course and «The Rage», «Beyond the Realms…» and «Grinder»
I'm waiting too! SWOD version for me but Unleashed in the East wouldn't be bad either!
2 words: from Unleashed
@@cameronsmith8328 GENOCIDE!!!!!

I concur
yes
What a fun reaction! The Priest always delivers the goods.
Suggestions for next song reaction: "Beyond the realms of death", "The Sentinel", "Diamonds and rust" and my personal favorite "Hellrider" live.
The Sentinel! My personal favourite Priest track ❤🤘🏻
I see what you did there
@@paulrodsted3905 "Delivering the Goods!"
Diamonds and Rust should be a two-fer with the Fleetwood Mac original also.
This song lifted Heavy Metal from the darkness of underground into the spotlight all around the world.
Next time around I recommend one of these Judas Priest songs: either Beyond the Realms of Death, Diamonds and Rust, Victim of Changes, The Green Manalishi, Desert Plains, or The Sentinel
The Green Manalishi is a Peter Green song, performed by Fleetwood Mac in the late sixties. The original version is quite different from the JP one. You probably know all this already.
Pretty good list. 🤘
Diamonds and Rust is amazing. To think of Judas Priest doing a Joan Baez tune is great.
Or Hell Bent for Leather or The Tyrant.
I 2nd Diamonds and Rust, the one on youtube titled: Judas Priest-Diamonds and Rust. From the Rising in the East DVD.
Doug, "Beyond The Realms of Death" is another great one to analyze. Keep up the great work!!

You should do Touch of evil, awesome song with an epic composed solo with lots of emotion
That is one of my personal favorites from Priest. Definitely worth giving a listen, Doug!
the whole Painkiller album is a masterpiece!
And what a vocal performance! Halford at his best.
@@poneal666 Absolutely underrated. It could be due to it being the only non-chromium-plated song in Painkiller, but dude, I LOVE It.

I love judas priest so much
This was the first Priest track I ever heard, way back in the early 80s. Been a fan ever since.
They may be tuned down a half step in this performance, but it is played in F# ( positionally on a guitar/bass).

More like Prog king.
Ram it Down, Hell Bent for Leather, Living After Midnight… so many great songs
They are sooo cool live!!
Would love to see/hear you react to Judas Priest's "Last Rose of Summer" from Sin After Sin - amazed you will be
I've seen Judas Priest over twenty times and they're always great. I highly recommend the studio version of beyond the realms of death.
That was fun watching you noodling on the piano along with the song. Legendary band.
First band I ever saw. Killing Machine tour. Thought they were amazing. But went off them about the time this came out.
Doug you are funny. Classic funny! Deffies the best in the game of reaction to music and needless to say, most important, the most knowledgeable. I liked your jazzy jam there in the middle on the keys. Priceless.
A live version of Victim of Changes would be great to do. Rob’s vocal range on that one is spectacular, and the different musical styles throughout the song are really interesting.
Unleashed in the East is probably the best live version when he was relatively young.
One shot at glory probably one of the top 3 songs bypriest.
One of the first solos I learned😊
I saw them on their Screaming for Vengeance tour. Loudest show I have ever been to.
Was so cool to see Priest on the Screaming for Vengeance tour. This takes me back to memories of the US Festival.
"1982 USfestival" Live performance of "VICTIM OF CHANGES" Has to be your next PRIEST reaction!

This was in Ft Lauderdale. I was actually at this concert. Was really great. You should really do Cathedral Spires. It is with a different singer when Halford left for a time, but it is an amazing song.
You should definitely look at Savatage’s ‘Streets’ album - it’s a really cool concept album they wrote
They're all anthems, Doug 😄
Such a great band... iconic.
Need to dig into the Nostradamus double disc from Judas Priest
To me this song means, don't just chase your dream. Grab it by the throat and drag it home kicking and screaming. LOL 😂🎸🎵🎶
I saw them live, with Angel. Both were amazing.
I want them back in Romania to sing with them all the same thing
This song has a great, simple melody that we didn't get to sing along with. Perhaps Rob thought we are all tired of it. 😄
That song live under the power of the mighty Preist is a thing to experience! Take on “The Sentinel” next Doug.
By playing along your picking up on the slightly hidden bluesyness in Priest songs 😊
Ya, I thought Doug's piano riffing could have made an excellent accompzmiment.
I think the blues influence comes mostly from Glenn...you can hear it in many of his solos, moreso than in KK's.
Ian Hill is fundamentally a jazz bassist, having learned it from his jazz bassist father. He provides the bluesy foundation. Ian is too often overlooked. He's solid. Not a busy bassist or glamorous but he is the foundation of it all. Of course, Priest started as a blues-based hard rock band. They were likely the first metal band to largely shed the blues for a whole album when they made British Steel.
Thanks from Sweden. If u got another (Judas Priest) thing coming maybe consider Victims Of Changes. Anyway, thanks from Sweden for all you are doing on YT.
Fun fact: They put this song on the album because there were 5 minutes missing.
What a wonderful time-keeper Scott Travis is; he really fires these old old veterans of metal up..
That's Scott Travis on the drums. Dave Holland played on the studio recording, but left Priest in -89
The signum of the NWOBHM shows are that you always sit or stand there with a big smile, emerged in the music! I am a big fan of JP, ALL incarnations. So my recommendation is Cathedral Spires with Tim ”Ripper” Owens, just beacause it is one of their best songs.
Should check out more Priest, they have such a breadth of musical styles and this has always been their overall message and attitude; to be steadfast and believe in yourself despite setbacks and adversity, and there will be much adversity, truly a great and unique band. Thanks Doug!
When in doubt, always take the version when Rob was young
The beast, known as Priest, is unleashed, in the east.
Priest are just one of the greates Metal bandas of all time, and Rob Halford is getting older, but his voice isn't....and that's amazing!!! you should check one of the live performances of "Diamonds and Rust"!!! Cheers from Portugal!!!
Great band to see in concert. Be prepared, they play LOUD.
their live performance in 83' in san bernardino was lit af
The Metal Gods 🤘
Dortmund 83 is the best Judas Priest concert caught on tape.
Headbanging with glasses - care required 😉
The whole album is fab
Correction both K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton are the lead guitar players.
This song is so popular, it was used in a Burger King commercial - ua-cam.com/video/BxPjlXyxocE/v-deo.html
Definitely need to do more Judas Priest.
Look at Doug head banging, lol. I love it!
You can tell even back then that Rob was struggling with the high notes. I know it's the end of the show, but when you sing that high in the 70's and 80's, it's no wonder it becomes difficult 30/40/50 years later. I can't hit high notes at all anymore and I'm the same age Halford was here.
