Yes he is awesome, but to me, the young Simon Phillips did the sin after sin lp and I don’t believe he was more than 18 I could be wrong. But ya that kid was something in 1977 .
Sabbath may have started it, Maiden may be more popular, Metallica has sold more than everyone, but Priest are the band that 95% or more of any professional metal musician when asked, which band is the ultimate heavy metal band, JP will be the 1st band that they mention. Sabbath was very blues based and heavy slow riffs, with the odd up tempo tune. Priest took it out of the blues and gave it a more sharper and metallic sound and dramatically increased the tempo. they have by far the best voice and twin guitar duo (past and present) PERIOD.
Out of respect for his massive contribution to the very foundation of heavy metal, I think we can forgive the metal god for no longer being able to sing like his 20 something self. It's the least we can do for all the great music he and Priest have given us.
Besides, he still has some range and has improved since this concert. He's been singing Saints in Hell in the same octave as the record in 2018, wich this song is also part of. Who knows, maybe he would do the same thing with Exciter nowadays. The Metal God's voice is a rollercoaster. The heaviest, most fun rollercoaster ever!
Saw them for the 4th time in Bucharest 3 days ago. Rob is like a fine wine, at 70 years old he was the best performer i've seen in the last 5 years. His voice was even more powerful than the studio recordings when he was young. I bet he ate "mici" in Bucharest and they gave him even more satanic power.
Wilson Moreno queen had power metal songs on their first 2 albums years before. Check out great king rat,ogre battle and seven seas of rhye. This is probably the first speed metal song
To this day... The best live band I've ever heard. Didn't hear them all but tried. Metallica is a solid ass kicking second. Maiden(older), Ozzy with Sabbath and latter, Pantera, Def Leppard, Zepplin, Deep Purple (interesting how the Blues music created so many metal bands), accept... It will go on.
How can he have the same voice over all these years. It hasn't changed at all. Well, he has to put more effort now to do the screams he did at Painkiller era, but if you listen to Firepower album, he is rocking like he is 20 years old. Truly deserves to be called a Metal God ❤️
@@gerradanthonymusic look you're totally right. I should rephrase that. He hasn't lost his vocal range. He can't scream high notes as clean as in his early days, but his overall vocal range and distorted voice haven't changed at all
For judasdeathrow666 you got it ma' man: epic guitars and crowd following the band .Metal is not only for those who bangs head like idiots . Priest, Maiden, Motorhead are bands who captivate their fans with the magic of their music!!!!!!
@bessadale Totally agree dude....The Late 70's JP albums kicked fuckin ass.....British steel (despite being their most famous album) was completely toothless compared to Stained Class (which I personally believe to be their finest).....
@garminpink It's really sad that the best bands are getting old and retiring. But just have to face the facts.. But as you said, Halford still sings better than many younger vocalists out there. Will be amazing to see them one last time.
Scott Travis. Are you kidding me? This guy is absolutely killing it for six minutes...smooth as silk with precision power.
Yes he is awesome, but to me, the young Simon Phillips did the sin after sin lp and I don’t believe he was more than 18 I could be wrong. But ya that kid was something in 1977 .
I'd rather hear Dave Holland .
What a drummer. That intro - double bass drums and double strokes on the toms. He nails it like Les Binks. Stunning.
yes, but Les did that in '78 when very few played like that. he deserves more credit.
@@CristianVargaMastervargas Totally. Binks is one of my fave drummers of all time. He had a unique feel and beautiful style.
Cristian Varga According to Les, he came up with the intro by mistake during a soundcheck.
@@CristianVargaMastervargas fuck yeah, you understand talent! not a lot do in these copy times 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Les, and Simon, and SCOTT !!!
Scott Travis killing it, without any effort whatsoever.
That was a solid pick, when they hired him for Painkiller. Scott has great technique.
No doubt...flawless.
Anyday anytime
Solid techniques, damn cool personality
Les Binks was one of his main influences as a drummer
This is the best sound of Scott Travis ever, the pure sound of the drums with no compresión reverb or other efects
Sabbath may have started it, Maiden may be more popular, Metallica has sold more than everyone, but Priest are the band that 95% or more of any professional metal musician when asked, which band is the ultimate heavy metal band, JP will be the 1st band that they mention.

Sabbath basically invented doom metal with the slow dark themes that doom would adopt.
+GrayWoIf jep and judas priest heavy metal (as we know it now) and speed metal.
Sabbath basically invented the Heavy Metal and Judas Priest takes from another level.
(((((( Priest is METAL ! JP fucking Rules ! ))))))
thebreeze12, I absolutely agree 999,999% !!! Tooo tooo many bands were influenced by Priest !!! & Still underrated !!!
Rock does not get any better than this. JUDAS PRIEST really know how to deliver the goods.
Good one dude ! 🤟
AMEN,PRIEST ALL THE WAY. SAW THEM ON EVERY TOUR FROM '77-05.
Absolutely one of their greatest songs. and that's sayin' something
I wish these guys would stop melting my face off with awesome performances.
+TheAxeGrinder : :D sure
5:07 "STAND BY FOR EXCITAAAAAAAAH!"
One of the most metal songs of all time. JP rule \m/
thrash if you prefer

Judas Priest la Banda Mas Grande en la Historia del Metal.
People seem surprised that a voice will change and degrade over a 40+ year singing career. Halford laid it all out there throughout his career.
Out of respect for his massive contribution to the very foundation of heavy metal, I think we can forgive the metal god for no longer being able to sing like his 20 something self. It's the least we can do for all the great music he and Priest have given us.

judas are the GODS OF METAL.
People, you can't expect Rob Halford to sing like he did in his 20's. Hes 60 now, so at least enjoy he still does it.
He's 72 now, and Priest just dropped one of their better songs to date
Utter fucking legends...love the priest
Saw them in 2022 and they nearly blew the walls off the arena!! Gods of Metal!
I love judas.... I 'm Korean
But Korea people don't know judas well...
Guess they know I.Maiden
because , many foreign culture banned by President Park, and Jeon until late 80s.
KOREANS KNOW....NOBODY NOBODY BUT YOU!!! LOL
play it louder
You have the power to change that! :)
Thankfully I think Rob's voice has improved in recent years. He was struggling with a very demanding song here.
Struggling?
No, not even trying, instead channeling his inner Barry White! 🤘
This is my favourite Priest song and yet in all the times Ive seen them they never once played it...dam!
Glenn. Fucking. Tipton
Most underrated guitarist in metal!!!!!!!
Judas is the best
Love Judas Priest, love the song, love the crowd, love you all.
Woooooooow cant believe how old is this song , sound so futuristic!
o melhor heavy metal de todos os tempos

staaand by for exciter, staaand by for exciter, staaaand by for exciter, STAAAAAND BY FOR EXCITAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Some people say that this song: Exciter, was the very first Power Metal Song.
Wilson Moreno queen had power metal songs on their first 2 albums years before. Check out great king rat,ogre battle and seven seas of rhye. This is probably the first speed metal song
I'd give the first speed-metal song honor to Deep Purple, Fireball.
I can definitely see this, remember hearing it as a teen and thinking "damn, this is hard and fast, like nothing else I've heard."
@@dhalgrentv7157 Though they never accepted the "metal" tag.
Isn’t this the first thrash metal
Best version of Exciter in my opinion
Always thought the world of this band & it was sad when KK left & Tipton getting sick.They were truly Metal Gods.
I saw Priest in Newport not two weeks ago, and Rob's voice was great. The whole band were brilliant.
Verdaderamente esta cancion es muy especial, muy única en su estilo en su año y hoy en dia
Japanese are fantastic fans....similarly to Spaniards, that really love JP
yes! sorpion. ufo and deep purple and others groupes
Great song. I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope I can make a good song.
Strained Class will always be my number 1 album by Priest as it was the very first time I heard them.
Where have the years gone?
These guys still can put up a metal show like no other heavy metal band,Metal Gods.
Strapping Young Lad does a cover of this song that will blow you away. Their lead vocalist has some pipes.
Dewin simply rules together with Rob
love you Rob 💜
Me too
Priest still Rock! Cool Track!
To this day... The best live band I've ever heard. Didn't hear them all but tried. Metallica is a solid ass kicking second. Maiden(older), Ozzy with Sabbath and latter, Pantera, Def Leppard, Zepplin, Deep Purple (interesting how the Blues music created so many metal bands), accept... It will go on.
Thanks God for this kind of music. What keeps me going.
"So much self-indulgence
Results in shuddered eyes
Predominant complacency
leads to beguiling lies"
Profound brainiac metal, ca. 1978 🤘🤘
The Best Metal God Forever 🤘🤘🤘❤❤
How can he have the same voice over all these years. It hasn't changed at all. Well, he has to put more effort now to do the screams he did at Painkiller era, but if you listen to Firepower album, he is rocking like he is 20 years old. Truly deserves to be called a Metal God ❤️
All due respect, sir ..... the vocals here are nothing like the original recording. Firepower does rock, though \m/
@@gerradanthonymusic look you're totally right. I should rephrase that. He hasn't lost his vocal range. He can't scream high notes as clean as in his early days, but his overall vocal range and distorted voice haven't changed at all
Poor Rob's voice has been bludgeoned for a long time. I appreciate his effort.
Judas Priest is second to none.
O que ele perdeu de potência ganhou em técnica.
RESPECT!
俺がK.Kを見たのはこの日が最後だった
In the EAST （シングル付きの限定版LP）死ぬほど聴いた世代としてはまさか再たExciterが聴けるとは思わなかったので卒倒した
What can you say, fucking brilliant,best Priest line up,drummer is in a class of his own.My fave band of all time.
Awesome version. I'd love to see this song in live. JP forever.
Man🤘😝 Priest has been rocking it since 1970
Glenn Tipton & K.K downing's Guitar Solos = Greater than SEX !!!!......
Love it .
So happy to see these guys are still gainfully employed well after I saw them at the Edinburgh Odeon in 1978/79 - EXCITER is f234ing magnifico!
Early speed metal! Fuck yeah!
fuckin' amazing
this is why they are called the MIGHTY JUDAS PRIEST !!!!! SERIOUS METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my weewee hurts after this ............
Perfect live performance of this song. \m/
Damn I wish I could've been there amazing
newcastle city hall 1979, they opened with this, les binks drumming great concert.
Scott Travis is one of the few Metal drummers that make it look easy. His technique is smooth as silk...
PODEROSSSOS CON SU HEAVY METAL el ayer el hoy y el mañana está servido🎶🎙🤘🎸🎶 larga vida al 💀METAL💀
☠
drums sound amazing
Gets me thru the day
2015年の来日でも頑張って歌ってくれ～！
sintam o verdadeiro heavy metal penetra em suas almas e saberam o verdadeiro significado do judas priest para sempre!!!!!!!!
What a great capture of a live comet explosion .(had to give everybody a thumbs up)
scott "the fuking boss" travis!!!!
MADRE MIA QUE PASADAAAAAA,MARAVILLOSOS JUDAS
En Argentina los amamos
solo grandiosissimo
Stained Class ! Unleashed In The East! 🍻
Those were the tours I saw👍
Awesome, simply awesome!
Speed metal 🖤
Love that lick. What kills me is the number of times I've seen Priest and they've never played that song. C'mon guys, your killing me!
They always give 1000%
Still pretty damn cool in 2024 man🤘🔥
This is an exiting track.
Exiting?
rob has a great jacket!!
Fall to your knees and repent if you please.
Kicking butt!
Scott fuckn Travis, man. Mf is an incredible drummer. Fluid and powerful.
Where and what year was this?
Better than Painkiller!
Stained Class and Sin after Sin albums annihilate Painkiller album
@@ZFlyingVLover you're not wrong.
@@EyelessRaven Yes, he's wrong
@@gabrielpinheiro10 No you.
One of my favorite rockers. I'm a one man band on youtube.
I honestly feel that song started the genre of all that speed metal music
For judasdeathrow666 you got it ma' man: epic guitars and crowd following the band .Metal is not only for those who bangs head like idiots . Priest, Maiden, Motorhead are bands who captivate their fans with the magic of their music!!!!!!
@bessadale Totally agree dude....The Late 70's JP albums kicked fuckin ass.....British steel (despite being their most famous album) was completely toothless compared to Stained Class (which I personally believe to be their finest).....
@lopux585 Yes there is. It's called Rising In The East and it's still pretty easy to find.
JUDAS PRIEST WITHSOME REAL METAL
My favorite old man metal maniac Rob Halford is still the Metal God
Yeah you are probably right. I've heard a lot of good old songs get better when listening on vinyl! I don't have this one available though :(
@garminpink It's really sad that the best bands are getting old and retiring. But just have to face the facts.. But as you said, Halford still sings better than many younger vocalists out there. Will be amazing to see them one last time.
Good. Really Good.
Japan and South America have the best fans
Glad they got Scott Travis. There’s no way Dave Holland would’ve been able to play any of the pre-British Steel songs.
He was pretty good with Sinner
From 3:43 to 4:11 is the part that i like of this song
priest for ever yeah
Esta canción se escuchó muy potente en el palacio de los deportes en Ciudad de México...
Saludos amigos
Total fucking badasses!
bow to the metal GOD
Fall to your knees and repent if you please!
