Victim of Changes is from 1976 and Painkiller was from 1990. Huge difference from two different decades. This was Priest redefining the metal sound Sabbath and Purple started. This song is awesome to play on guitar. Halford 6 octive range. Often imitated never duplicated. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh hhhaaaaa!!!!
Through several decades, Judas Priest made exactly the Heavy Metal they wanted. While they have plenty of guitar work, they are Driven by the rhythm section and have never forgotten that no matter how the Shred (Painkiller) or Grind (A Touch of Evil).
They didn't really adapt till the the late 80s. In the 70s and early 80s, they were the trendsetters. The number of people ripping off Hell Bent for Leather and Screaming for Vengeance by the mid 80s was ridiculous.
That is absolute and accurate in every way, shape or form! Truly majestic and brilliant for the genre. I will never forget at 17 yrs of age playing this on my girlfriends ( wife now ), Hi-fidelity phonograph. Her mother coming through the living room while Dreamer Deceiver was playing. She thought it was beautiful. Standing by my window breathing summer breeze......!
@@crackawood absolutely , you can not review classic metal and edit guitar solos. You lose the climatic parts of the song/story vibe. I t's like a story with no climax.
Yes, that was a perfect song. They did power ballads before "Power Ballads" was a thing. And that is just one of the reasons they are the "Metal gods".
That's GREAT early JUDAS PRIEST. The band could NEVER be tied down to any one form of METAL... NOBODY can put JUDAS PRIEST into a tiny box. They are FREE THINKERS!
Another epic JUDAS PRIEST song is "A Touch of Evil" or the tecno experimental "Turbo Lover". From there feel free to get lost in the vastly Epic METAL of JUDAS PRIEST.
The Blues was the base for all popular rock n'roll. The Beatles and the Stones experimented and pushed the boundaries and inspired the pioneers of Metal like Sabbath, Priest, Deep Purple, Rush. Victim of Changes I think was Priest distinguishing themselves from their peers in the mid-70s and they experimented with a ore mainstream sound in the 80s, probably got pressure from record companies for another hit like You got Another Thing Coming, but they were always hard. I think they heard Pantera Cowboys from Hell years ago and realized they were getting a little too soft, and were then inspired to create Painkiller.
Painkiller was recorded before Cowboys from Hell was released. They were more inspired by thrash metal bands like Metallica, Megadeth etc. Maybe even from Testament since Halford really likes their music.
Judas Priest really had three major faces throughout their career - metal pioneers ("Victim Of Changes"), metal superstars ("You've Got Another Thing Coming") and metal monsters ("Painkiller") and it's a testimony to their excellence that they can transition between them with ease, unlike any other band I know. They may be one of the most versatile artists in history of popular music. Well, you now have only one major side of them left to discover - and then only everything in between. ;)
I'll go a step further and mention that with the exception of Defenders of the Faith retaining quite a bit of similarity to Screaming for Vengeance, in their 50-year career no other two consecutive albums ever sounded anything alike. Critics say Firepower is a "rehash" of sorts but it really wasn't (check out Razorfist's review of Firepower for an excellent explanation of why not)!
I think you would like The Hellion/Electric Eye (the hellion is an awesome intro to electric eye, which is the actual song). It's right in the middle between Victim of changes and Painkiller, no as slow, not as shredding.
Excellent choice. The thing about a band like Judas Priest is that their career has at least 3 distinct eras in it, and when I try to think about suggesting a song for Ryan and George that defines the middle era in the 80's "The Hellion/Electric Eye" is what I keep thinking of.
Hey I just saw somebody recomended "Delivering the Goods" by Judas Priest and I gotta agree. Based on what you've liked the most, you'll friggin loooove that song. One of my all time favs too.
There are a million rooms in the house of heavy metal. Much of the time people stay with the music of their formative years, and newer stuff just becomes foreign to the ear. The older you get, the more challenging getting interested in new music becomes. Fortunately, heavy metal is diverse enough that if you can't get into the new stuff, you can go back and explore the older stuff. Exploration of music is how one can achieve an appreciation for newer music, and studying music can further that as well. Now, as for your vision of Rob Halford and the rock star "womanizing" thing...
''music of their formative years, and newer stuff just becomes foreign to the ear'' I thought you were about to break out into a poem as I was reading this lol.
Metalica's "Ride the Lightning." I know ya'll have done a bunch of them but I now cannot even listen to that song without thinking of you, knowing how much you guys will flip out when you hear it. Please, for all of our sakes!
Ashitaka1110 the drums on ride the lightning..... I loved when Lars had that sound. It was like one of those big blow up balls being bounced in a hallway.
Glad you guys enjoyed the song too. The swinging beat, blues licks, heavy distorted guitar tones, drum fills, pissed off lyrics and scorching vocal performance - favorite era of my favorite band. A great song ... among many great songs.
You guys have reviewed a Judas Priest song from 1976 (this one) and 1990 (Painkiller). Let me recommend one from 1982, "The Hellion/Electric Eye" - They're technically 2 tracks but they always go together, with The Hellion being the intro to Electric Eye.
YES. I saw Judas Priest a couple of weeks ago and it was incredible. My all time favorite band. Death is my second favorite band probably. I know you will love them. Try pull the plug or crystal mountains. One of the most influential metal bands ever
This was way ahead of its time back then (mid 70s) Once I heard this was just like wow I need more of this greatness WHISKEY WOMAN DONT YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE !
I love your reviews on classic metal songs. Take into account when comparing this song to Painkiller that this is a 70s song and Painkiller is from 1990, the same year Pantera released Cowboys from Hell, for example. So, Metal in general had "evolved" a lot. Would love a reaction to "Gamma Ray - Rebellion in Dreamland" (Studio version).
Definitely echoing the Gamma Ray suggestion here, both "Rebellion In Dreamland" and "Land Of The Free" would be killer songs to see these guys react to. Funnily enough, Gamma Ray's "Heading For Tomorrow" is essentially a full out homage to Victim Of Changes. lol
I played this song at my graduation party in 1977, really loud. My older relatives nearly shit themselves 😂. Priest and Sabbath cane from the same town, Birmingham England. They were both heavily influenced by American Blues artists
I haven't even watched the video yet but know that you guys are going to love this, and I'm going to enjoy watching you all review it. This is such an awesome song
I’ve been thinking they should do some COC. Albatross, Wiseblood are the obvious choices. From their new album Little Man has the kind of groove Ryan and George would love.
Ed Rock Albatross is a great song to introduce people to Coc imo. Clean My Wounds, Vote With a Bullet, Arms Of God... so many good tracks. They could do Down “Stone The Crow” too. Ryan might blast off with excitement
Indeed! One of the top five songs they ever recorded. Up their with Victim Of Changes and Dreamer Deciever. This song is written by Robert and then drummer Les Binks. They defended this song in court. That's a long story.
Oh man that groove is SPICY lmfaooo It sounded hella good and the smooth transition into different undertones but still keeping to the beat and the rhythm is amazing. This is going straight to my playlist man very great job from Judas Priest and Hilarios reaction from Lost In Vegas.
Its hilarious to watch you guys reactions to songs I grew up with! Very cool that you even give these tunes a chance! Priest has lots of classics, this is actually my favorite by them. Also nice to see how much you both like Rush!
Saxon- Princess of the Night Also, I totally agree with what you're saying. I grew up in the early 2000s so I enjoy nu metal, along with the classics, they're both important
I think you guys should do The Hellion/Electric Eye, especially since you went from Painkiller to this one. You'll hear the metal progress from the metal gods.
It would also be interesting to see your take on the more mainstream songs by Judas Priest, such as Breaking the Law and You've Got Another Thing Coming.
Just abit of insight from a guitar player on a few comments you guys made - 'that sound' you said you guys loved from various artists of this era (late 60s-early 70s) is a particular amplifier called the Marshall 'Plexi' turned up to 10 thru a 4x12 cab(or 2) with Celestion Greenback speakers... This would be sooo loud it could literally make you nauseous, but it would sound soooo badass!!! LOL Virtually no one can play with that kind of volume these days. Also, that 'wobbling' sound in the middle guitar solo you tried to describe is made by a mechanical bar equipped on some guitars that when depressed slackens the strings, making the pitch go down, or when pulled, makes the strings tighter, which makes the pitch go up. It's called a tremolo or 'whammy' bar. You can use it to add subtle nuances or go crazy and pull till the strings snap! Jimi Hendrix was one of the first to go crazy with it... The bluesy sound you noticed(good ear!) is basically inherent for this time frame in guitar as heavy metal evolved from rock & roll, which came from the blues. As different people experienced different cultures around the world(thru both war-time and increasingly affordable peace-time travel) different elements were introduced to music, and so you have the Rolling Stones playing an Indian sitar in "Paint It Black" or Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple/Rainbow incorporating European classical & gypsy scales into rock guitar and famously Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin featuring Celtic influences, all of which combined with that blues base. It's actually quite fascinating!
Did you know that your last name is the same as the brand name of the amplifier that one or both of the guitarists of Judas Priest first started playing through ("Watkins Rapier")?
I'm gonna start asking for a review check out Black Sabbath "Fairies Wear Boots". Guys this song is seemingly just a "metal" / rock n roll song but break it down like y'all do and you'll realize why Black Sabbath has one of the best rhythm sections in all of rock n roll history. The song has great guitar work and several slick transitions that y'all love!
blazeandcyrus Faeries Wear Boots is such an awesome Sabbath song! It's jazzy and bluesy Rock And Roll at its finest! Geezer & Bill made Sabbath the powerhouse that they are.
Tom Mead Actually it was a brawl the band got in with a bunch of skinheads who were apparently wearing boots. They're using the term "fairy" derogatorily to make fun of the skinheads.
It's really cool.. Watching you guys get deeper and deeper into the roots of Metal... I've enjoyed seeing your reactions to all the different genra's of metal.. Judas Priest... Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are are responsible for everything you hear today.... Keep up the unbiased real reactions.... YOU GUYS ARE AS COOL... As the other side of the pillow!!..\m/
I've loved this song since the late 70's. You guys just made the song even better with your comments.. It is so interesting listening to your reactions. Thanks a lot! Have a good one :)
Dudes, thank you for reminding me about this song. I used to listen to this album on loop as a teenager but I'd totally forgotten about it. This album's so incredible, and now I'm digging other early Priest albums. Brilliant.
You guys are on point! This is off arguably their best album, Sad Wings of Destiny. They were in overdrive for this ENTIRE album. Great choice, fellas!
This is a combination of two songs(Whiskey Woman and Red Light Lady). That's why the credits of the song, except of the guitarists Downing and Tipton, mention also both Halford and the previous singer of the band, Alan Atkins! The lyrics clearly talk about a woman!
Great song by Priest. Very blues oriented. The irony is that it was Priest who later went on to remove the blues factor from their music completely and went straight up metal. It is at this point where metal began to evolve.
You can still hear some bluesy overtones on Sinner or Call for the Priest, but songs like Dissident Aggressor or Hell Bent for Leather are pure fucking metal!
Thanks for covering one of my fave JP songs! I want to say that if it holds any interest to you it is my personal opinion that the live version of this song on the Unleashed In The East album/cd is a must listen experience. This is hard to express, but occasionally a band will find the true essence of a song through the many performances of it on their tours, and I feel that it all came together for them in Japan on this night's recording. Also on a personal note, I really love the premise of what you are doing here!
Thank you so much for these videos guys! I listened to old school most of my life, until few years started listening to hip hop and electronic, but I always appreciated most music. Now I am coming back to these bands again, these videos make me smile so much.
Love all of Judas Priest's stuff, but their 70's music has always hit a chord with me. Another cool video. You guys are the best reaction videos out there.
Uffff classic by Priest. Damn man, you nailed it one more time. Cheers from Peru! I would love to give Judas Priest one more chance in the future but with "Jawbreaker" or "Riding on the Wind" 😅 Keep the good work 🙋
I'm late but ... just wanted to say I absolutely love your reaction videos! Impressed to see you all did this song! One of, if not my favorite Judas Priest album's. Rob's vocal's are unbelievable on this! Keep up the great videos, you just got a new subscriber.
Adolfo Godoy, I keep requesting this, but some people think they've already heard it. If not, I definitely think they should get to it. Nearly perfect execution and a song kind of ahead of it's own time!
chad greenaway It has a beginning that will grab you immediately, many sick in-your-face riffs, a great solo, and killer vocals. I don’t see anything bad here.
Robs vocals on this song are outstanding! Love you guys reactions to some classic metal that I grew up with....I loved it back when I was first introduced and still love it to this day. There is alot of good music out there and feel sad that I might never hear some good ones. Keep up the entertaining videos.
Odd, why haven't we gotten to Ozzy yet (other than War Pigs)? It's a wonder that we haven't heard Bark at the Moon, Crazy Train, or Mama, I'm Coming Home yet...
Jason Monholland I totally agree he has some of the most legendary guitarists with him too. I’d love anything from him besides Crazy Train or Paranoid/Iron Man. Solo Ozzy would be fantastic, he’s the madman of rock n roll and his music has serious chops.
"Wasted Years" is great, but Lost In Vegas found "The Trooper" repetitive and lacking vocal range so, I can't see them digging "Wasted Years". Now if they ever give Maiden a last chance... I think "Number of the Beast" would hit their buttons.
If they didn't get into The Trooper they definitely won't get into Wasted Years. They need to listen to SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON!! Or Infinite Dreams could be great as well.
You guys should also do a reaction to Accept 'Fast As A Shark' from their album Restless and wild. The lead singer is Udo Dirkschneider (all time great name for a lead singer).
Thank you guys so much for this!! I'e been requesting this one forEVER, man. Please do more Metallica (Blackened, Ride the Lightning, Frayed Ends of Sanity, Of Wolf And Man, Sanitarium, etc...) and more AC/DC (Have a Drink on Me, Walk All Over You, For Those About to Rock, etc.) as soon as you possibly can...you guys will have your minds BLOWN. Been here since 50k subs. Thank you so much again! I always drop everything to watch your posts. #freethinkers
Also...for the next Judas Priest song, please consider Screaming for Vengeance or Devil's Child! A whole new era of Priest that has the perfect blend of old school and new school metal--rock and roll groove plus the shred! Haha
Eh, I wouldn't consider those songs anywhere near the cusp of old and new school metal. Even when they went guitar synth in "Turbo" and "Ram it Down" they were still old school. I'd say it wasn't until after "Painkiller" and the break-up that nu-metal started along with the grunge scene.
Paul Walsh Perhaps I should've said, the perfect blend of old school Priest and new school Priest! I definitely think so. Ram it Down is a shred-fest (which I love), but Screaming still has traces of that "British Steel" feel while still clearly sonically inching toward that "Ram it Down" sound later in the decade.
... a perfect blend... OK I can get on board with that. Definitely, "British Steel" through to "Defenders" are of a stylistic sound that they depart from with the guitar synths of "Turbo" and " Ram It Down". Painkiller is kinda the mutated merging of the two sounds. I think "Painkiller" is quite reminiscent of a "Hard As Iron" mixed with "Metal Gods" and "The Sentinel"
The band I can't see you ever reviewing (but you should) that was *hugely* inspired by Judas Priest is Mercyful Fate. They had a similar guitar tone (that vintage/classic guitar sound), and some insanely love them or hate them vocals. "Into the Coven", "The Oath" or "Come to the Sabbath".
As good as that album is, the production is rather crappy, especially compared to Abigail. Also, I like both bands almost equally, but I think I slightly prefer MF overall for the guitar tone, and often slightly less elaborate, yet more memorable riffs. King also had a tendancy to use his wonderful midrange vocals more with that band, where he mostly focused on falsetto in the other.
Victim of Changes is from 1976 and Painkiller was from 1990. Huge difference from two different decades. This was Priest redefining the metal sound Sabbath and Purple started. This song is awesome to play on guitar. Halford 6 octive range. Often imitated never duplicated. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh hhhaaaaa!!!!
Peter Brown You've said man.
Through several decades, Judas Priest made exactly the Heavy Metal they wanted. While they have plenty of guitar work, they are Driven by the rhythm section and have never forgotten that no matter how the Shred (Painkiller) or Grind (A Touch of Evil).
Judas Priest adapted to each era of metal and come out with great records
I'm way late to the party but yes, yes and yes! Totally agree!
Understatement my good Sir.
They didn't really adapt till the the late 80s. In the 70s and early 80s, they were the trendsetters. The number of people ripping off Hell Bent for Leather and Screaming for Vengeance by the mid 80s was ridiculous.
70s Priest was the best
You mean metal adapted to each era of Judas Priest.
Sad Wings of Destiny is one of the greatest albums ever committed to vinyl. Every song is amazing.
Thanx for doing your thing with this one.
That is absolute and accurate in every way, shape or form! Truly majestic and brilliant for the genre. I will never forget at 17 yrs of age playing this on my girlfriends ( wife now ), Hi-fidelity phonograph. Her mother coming through the living room while Dreamer Deceiver was playing. She thought it was beautiful. Standing by my window breathing summer breeze......!
The guitar solo they edited out is one of my favorites of all time.
@@crackawood absolutely , you can not review classic metal and edit guitar solos. You lose the climatic parts of the song/story vibe. I
t's like a story with no climax.
hell yes. my brother's record collection introduced me to priest. by the way, the first solo is kk downing. the one at the end is tipton
Thank you both for reviewing any Sad Wings song. But know this every song on the album is KILLER !!
As a female fan of Judas Priest, one of my favorites is a ballad of theirs called Before the Dawn.
Yes, that was a perfect song. They did power ballads before "Power Ballads" was a thing. And that is just one of the reasons they are the "Metal gods".
I agree with you
An ender rated gem
Under
thank you for shedding light on this song, heard it for the first time today. Very good
Judas Priest - Beyond The Realms Of Death. One of the greatest songs ever.-
the best...
Greatest solo ever!!
Beautiful
That's GREAT early JUDAS PRIEST. The band could NEVER be tied down to any one form of METAL... NOBODY can put JUDAS PRIEST into a tiny box. They are FREE THINKERS!
Another epic JUDAS PRIEST song is "A Touch of Evil" or the tecno experimental "Turbo Lover". From there feel free to get lost in the vastly Epic METAL of JUDAS PRIEST.
The Sentinel
They're the high priests of Metal - simply as that :D
The Blues was the base for all popular rock n'roll. The Beatles and the Stones experimented and pushed the boundaries and inspired the pioneers of Metal like Sabbath, Priest, Deep Purple, Rush. Victim of Changes I think was Priest distinguishing themselves from their peers in the mid-70s and they experimented with a ore mainstream sound in the 80s, probably got pressure from record companies for another hit like You got Another Thing Coming, but they were always hard. I think they heard Pantera Cowboys from Hell years ago and realized they were getting a little too soft, and were then inspired to create Painkiller.
Painkiller was recorded before Cowboys from Hell was released. They were more inspired by thrash metal bands like Metallica, Megadeth etc. Maybe even from Testament since Halford really likes their music.
Judas Priest: The Sentinel (amazing guitar solos, exceptional voice and interpretation, sounds like knifes flying as bullets)!
I second this! One of Priest's finest!
Yeah! Sentinel is great!! Half the way between Victim of Changes and Painkiller musically and lyrically.
It is a f@ckin jam!
yep that's the song that got me into priest and I'd live for the guys to react to it
My favorite Priest tune! that arpeggio riff! "Tempt not the blade all fear the SENTINEL!"
Beyond the realms of death or the sentinel.
Yes, The Sentinel is my favorite JP song.
Yes, Sentinel or Jawbreaker
Defenders of the Faith is seriously my favorite Priest album, Turbo is probably second
Bloodstone !
I second
Judas Priest really had three major faces throughout their career - metal pioneers ("Victim Of Changes"), metal superstars ("You've Got Another Thing Coming") and metal monsters ("Painkiller") and it's a testimony to their excellence that they can transition between them with ease, unlike any other band I know. They may be one of the most versatile artists in history of popular music. Well, you now have only one major side of them left to discover - and then only everything in between. ;)
very well said
Agreed. I think to best encapsulate JP at the height of their popularity you wold need to react to Rapid Fire or Hell Bent for Leather.
\m/ one hell of a show just rocked this past Thursday at BOK.
Now you can add Firepower to your list. This album is a piece of metal virtuosity
I'll go a step further and mention that with the exception of Defenders of the Faith retaining quite a bit of similarity to Screaming for Vengeance, in their 50-year career no other two consecutive albums ever sounded anything alike. Critics say Firepower is a "rehash" of sorts but it really wasn't (check out Razorfist's review of Firepower for an excellent explanation of why not)!
I think you would like The Hellion/Electric Eye (the hellion is an awesome intro to electric eye, which is the actual song). It's right in the middle between Victim of changes and Painkiller, no as slow, not as shredding.
Excellent choice. The thing about a band like Judas Priest is that their career has at least 3 distinct eras in it, and when I try to think about suggesting a song for Ryan and George that defines the middle era in the 80's "The Hellion/Electric Eye" is what I keep thinking of.
Funny, I just posted the same request. Cheers!
John Weisgerber and/or The Sentinel.
YES_ Roundabout
I'm telling you you're going to love that bass!
I love Yes, especially that era!
To be continued
Is that a jojo's reference?
Papa, no it's a School of Rock reference
Hey I just saw somebody recomended "Delivering the Goods" by Judas Priest and I gotta agree. Based on what you've liked the most, you'll friggin loooove that song. One of my all time favs too.
Best Priest song ever
There are a million rooms in the house of heavy metal. Much of the time people stay with the music of their formative years, and newer stuff just becomes foreign to the ear. The older you get, the more challenging getting interested in new music becomes. Fortunately, heavy metal is diverse enough that if you can't get into the new stuff, you can go back and explore the older stuff. Exploration of music is how one can achieve an appreciation for newer music, and studying music can further that as well.
Now, as for your vision of Rob Halford and the rock star "womanizing" thing...
''music of their formative years, and newer stuff just becomes foreign to the ear'' I thought you were about to break out into a poem as I was reading this lol.
Rob Halford womanizing thing. 😂 maybe a bunch of young studs around him seems more realistic.
Nathan Niles Rob Halford is a homosexual
Man whatever Thats what he was getting at...
Anabelle Lee oh yea.. just in case anyone missed it..
This is my absolute favorite song by Judas Priest and I was absolutely thrilled to see you do this I'm freaking jazzed
Me too, really underrated Judas Priest song.
Yes !! I thought I was the only one ! This song and album is the best of preist.
JUDAS PRIEST - Beyond the realms of death
That would be my suggestion also for Priest.
‘Funky’ and ‘Fly’ two words I never thought I’d hear to describe Judas Priest love it,great reaction guys 🤣🤣
Death - Crystal Mountain
Chia Man fuck yes!!
Overactive imagination is better, but they don't do grunt-only songs.
They'll eventually fo something from Death. Shout out to all the people who request them. I'm looking forward to that!!
Metalica's "Ride the Lightning." I know ya'll have done a bunch of them but I now cannot even listen to that song without thinking of you, knowing how much you guys will flip out when you hear it. Please, for all of our sakes!
Ashitaka1110 the drums on ride the lightning..... I loved when Lars had that sound. It was like one of those big blow up balls being bounced in a hallway.
I love creeping death and fade to black in this album
Oh brother *rolls eyes
Thanks for being the best reaction channel. It's so heartwarming to see you guys appreciate these true classics.
Glad you guys enjoyed the song too. The swinging beat, blues licks, heavy distorted guitar tones, drum fills, pissed off lyrics and scorching vocal performance - favorite era of my favorite band. A great song ... among many great songs.
Ozzy- Over the Mountain with the late great Randy Rhoads on guitar. Love your channel and reactions.
Tony Gomez - Great choice! Mine would be Diary of a Madman.
You guys have reviewed a Judas Priest song from 1976 (this one) and 1990 (Painkiller). Let me recommend one from 1982, "The Hellion/Electric Eye" - They're technically 2 tracks but they always go together, with The Hellion being the intro to Electric Eye.
Priest at their best!
Great suggestion!
Either that or Screaming For Vengeance.
That is my favorite song from them. The video of the at the us festival doing that song is amazing
true Priest spans from 70s to 2010s
Death - Empty Words or Flesh and the power it holds.
Carcass - Heartwork or Mount of Execution.
Flesh for sure!
flesh and the power it holds forsure
these guys are metal heads it took youtube to bring it out
Also: Judas Priest: The Sentinel. It's halfway between the two songs you know time-wise, so you'd get a good first impression of their evolution.
KaroKoenich Great suggestion! From Victim of Changes in '76 to The Sentinel in '84 and Painkiller in '90.
Album: Stained Class, Song: Beyond The Realms of Death by Judas Priest
YES. I saw Judas Priest a couple of weeks ago and it was incredible. My all time favorite band. Death is my second favorite band probably. I know you will love them. Try pull the plug or crystal mountains. One of the most influential metal bands ever
This was way ahead of its time back then (mid 70s) Once I heard this was just like wow I need more of this greatness WHISKEY WOMAN DONT YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE !
Death - Scavenger of Human Sorrow/The Philopher/Spirit Crusher
Keep Rockin' guys!!!
Spirit crusher yes (y)
Diego Mendes Scarvenger of a huamn sorrow!!! Best song. The jazz feeling in that song is awesome.
Frankly, the entire Sad Wings of Destiny album is worth your time. 70s Priest is HEAVILY underrated compared to their 80s stuff.
their 70s stuff is their best stuff
Oh For sure
Agreed their 70s stuff is way better. One of my favourite albums.
Absolutely
My all time fav Priest album.
I love your reviews on classic metal songs. Take into account when comparing this song to Painkiller that this is a 70s song and Painkiller is from 1990, the same year Pantera released Cowboys from Hell, for example. So, Metal in general had "evolved" a lot.
Would love a reaction to "Gamma Ray - Rebellion in Dreamland" (Studio version).
RaroVHS (Canal 2) Yeah Gamma Ray!
Definitely echoing the Gamma Ray suggestion here, both "Rebellion In Dreamland" and "Land Of The Free" would be killer songs to see these guys react to. Funnily enough, Gamma Ray's "Heading For Tomorrow" is essentially a full out homage to Victim Of Changes. lol
RaroVHS (Canal 2) cowboys from hell vocals are very Rob Halford inspired aswell.
Yeah, Gamma Ray - Rebellion in DReamland would be great!
Oh yeah, some Power Metal would be cool. Gamma Ray is a good way to start.
I played this song at my graduation party in 1977, really loud. My older relatives nearly shit themselves 😂. Priest and Sabbath cane from the same town, Birmingham England. They were both heavily influenced by American Blues artists
As did Zeppelin. 3 biggest influencers of all time IMO.
I haven't even watched the video yet but know that you guys are going to love this, and I'm going to enjoy watching you all review it. This is such an awesome song
Deep Purple - Highway Star. Amazing track, you'll dig it.
Corrosion Of Conformity - Albatross. You’ll dig it
Jake Sacher Vote......
I’ve been thinking they should do some COC. Albatross, Wiseblood are the obvious choices. From their new album Little Man has the kind of groove Ryan and George would love.
Ed Rock Albatross is a great song to introduce people to Coc imo. Clean My Wounds, Vote With a Bullet, Arms Of God... so many good tracks.
They could do Down “Stone The Crow” too. Ryan might blast off with excitement
Jake Sacher How do we make this happen? I suppose I could harass them on Twitter. Or send them gifts or something.
Ed Rock Lol! I’m not on Facebook or twitter but if you want to hit them up, I’m all for it. I’ll post on some vids here
Judas priest beyond the realms of death!!
A classic priest tune
The Hellion/Electric Eye (Judas Priest) would floor you guys...
Didn't they already do that one? I don't know for sure, I just thought they did it....
Absolute fave! Except this song and every song off Defenders of the Faith. But, yea!!!!! So amazing
DEATH - SYMBOLIC -- Keep it up, fellas!
Crystal Mountain!
Both!
Free Wheel Burning by Judas Priest! Rob sings so fast it will blow your mind! Amazing guitar!!
Becky Leavitt LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP DJTFJIFCHURHHUDGJHBDSYHB
Seth Moreno lol exactly lol. Love it tho!!
Seth Moreno oh and Sentinel!!!! Damn good song. Tell em Seth!
this is one of the firsts songs that brings me to metal
The Hellion/Electric Eye JUDAS PRIEST. You won't be disappointed.
This is probably my favorite Priest song.
The covered version by Helloween is even greater.
Please do Judas Priest Beyond the Realms of Death
Darren Wise This needs to happen!
One of their absolute best!
Indeed! One of the top five songs they ever recorded. Up their with Victim Of Changes and Dreamer Deciever. This song is written by Robert and then drummer Les Binks. They defended this song in court. That's a long story.
My favorite priest song.
Oh man that groove is SPICY lmfaooo It sounded hella good and the smooth transition into different undertones but still keeping to the beat and the rhythm is amazing. This is going straight to my playlist man very great job from Judas Priest and Hilarios reaction from Lost In Vegas.
Its hilarious to watch you guys reactions to songs I grew up with! Very cool that you even give these tunes a chance! Priest has lots of classics, this is actually my favorite by them. Also nice to see how much you both like Rush!
Beyond the Realms of death by Judas Priest please
Chris Sarina great one
Or the covered version by Blind Guardian, I like that even better.
Please do!
Yes!!
@@epajarjestys9981
Get out.
Pantera - Cemetery Gates (album version) PLEASE!!!
Great pic
Mouth For War
Mindwiper also great
Domination
gnarxy yeah, the live version
I love that you guys just love music, no matter the genre. Much respect!
Saxon- Princess of the Night
Also, I totally agree with what you're saying. I grew up in the early 2000s so I enjoy nu metal, along with the classics, they're both important
also...Accept - Princess of the Dawn !
I love Saxon. One of my favorite tunes is Power and the Glory.
Yes Saxon!!! Also The Eagle Has Landed or 747.
Great track there. What would Metallica have done without it? Lol
Corrosion of Conformity- Clean my wounds.
Classic. Broken man would be great as well.
Albatross
hE SAYS HE CANNOT HEAL THAT KIND.
Back in the day it was "Help me Jesus, help me clean my room."
Terrance Cook anything off the Deliverance album was killer
I think you guys should do The Hellion/Electric Eye, especially since you went from Painkiller to this one. You'll hear the metal progress from the metal gods.
It would also be interesting to see your take on the more mainstream songs by Judas Priest, such as Breaking the Law and You've Got Another Thing Coming.
fromthenosebleeds fuck. Yes.
fromthenosebleeds they would shit their pants!
Michael L or even turvo lover... yeah i like that song.
But i want desert plains more than all of those!
I was thing The Hellion/Electric Eye as well.
Just abit of insight from a guitar player on a few comments you guys made - 'that sound' you said you guys loved from various artists of this era (late 60s-early 70s) is a particular amplifier called the Marshall 'Plexi' turned up to 10 thru a 4x12 cab(or 2) with Celestion Greenback speakers... This would be sooo loud it could literally make you nauseous, but it would sound soooo badass!!! LOL Virtually no one can play with that kind of volume these days.
Also, that 'wobbling' sound in the middle guitar solo you tried to describe is made by a mechanical bar equipped on some guitars that when depressed slackens the strings, making the pitch go down, or when pulled, makes the strings tighter, which makes the pitch go up. It's called a tremolo or 'whammy' bar. You can use it to add subtle nuances or go crazy and pull till the strings snap! Jimi Hendrix was one of the first to go crazy with it...
The bluesy sound you noticed(good ear!) is basically inherent for this time frame in guitar as heavy metal evolved from rock & roll, which came from the blues. As different people experienced different cultures around the world(thru both war-time and increasingly affordable peace-time travel) different elements were introduced to music, and so you have the Rolling Stones playing an Indian sitar in "Paint It Black" or Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple/Rainbow incorporating European classical & gypsy scales into rock guitar and famously Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin featuring Celtic influences, all of which combined with that blues base. It's actually quite fascinating!
Hendrix was the first to actually have control of the distortion. Love Love Love Jimi!!!
Listen boys you can't be releasing videos like this when I'm trying to go to bed!! GOD DAMN IT!!!
Mason Johnson knee-slap laughter... RIGHT!?
Aaron A. Foster I swear I always find there new video as I'm about to crash for the night, and then I'm up for 20 more minutes hahaha. Fucks me all up
Mason Johnson then I either have to listen to more of whatever artist they reviewed or something the song reminds me of...
Yeah definitely easy to get majorly sidetracked with these guys hahaha
Judas priest - Beyond The realms of death
MichaliQ fuck yea man
That is Priest's greatest song, in my opinion. That's one of the greatest songs ever!
Beyond the Realms of Death and A Touch of Evil are my favorite JP songs
Such an amazing song
Aaron A. Foster you and I are on the EXACT same page, my friend.
This is my favorite Priest song!!!
Mine too...ever since I first heard it in high school. But I like the live version in Unleashed in the East best
Did you know that your last name is the same as the brand name of the amplifier that one or both of the guitarists of Judas Priest first started playing through ("Watkins Rapier")?
I'm gonna start asking for a review check out Black Sabbath "Fairies Wear Boots". Guys this song is seemingly just a "metal" / rock n roll song but break it down like y'all do and you'll realize why Black Sabbath has one of the best rhythm sections in all of rock n roll history. The song has great guitar work and several slick transitions that y'all love!
blazeandcyrus Faeries Wear Boots is such an awesome Sabbath song! It's jazzy and bluesy Rock And Roll at its finest! Geezer & Bill made Sabbath the powerhouse that they are.
Love the swing/jazz rhythm and the hard guitars when "Fairies" gets going
blazeandcyrus Terry Butler when he was a teenager got jump by a gang called the fairies this how this song come to be lol
absolutely
Tom Mead Actually it was a brawl the band got in with a bunch of skinheads who were apparently wearing boots. They're using the term "fairy" derogatorily to make fun of the skinheads.
It's really cool.. Watching you guys get deeper and deeper into the roots of Metal... I've enjoyed seeing your reactions to all the different genra's of metal.. Judas Priest... Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are are responsible for everything you hear today.... Keep up the unbiased real reactions.... YOU GUYS ARE AS COOL... As the other side of the pillow!!..\m/
I've loved this song since the late 70's. You guys just made the song even better with your comments.. It is so interesting listening to your reactions. Thanks a lot! Have a good one :)
A look from another dimension if you like.
Seeing these guys react to my favorite songs make me feel like I'm hearing them for the first time ever all over again!
Y'all are doin somethin really cool for music in general. Love the freethinkers movement. Keep it up!
Dudes, thank you for reminding me about this song. I used to listen to this album on loop as a teenager but I'd totally forgotten about it. This album's so incredible, and now I'm digging other early Priest albums. Brilliant.
No doubt. Well said. As an old man, I approve of this message.
You guys are on point! This is off arguably their best album, Sad Wings of Destiny. They were in overdrive for this ENTIRE album.
Great choice, fellas!
Deceiver and Island of Domination I think are especially great.
I'm pretty sure Rob wasn't writing about any "she"s in this song. LOL
This is a combination of two songs(Whiskey Woman and Red Light Lady). That's why the credits of the song, except of the guitarists Downing and Tipton, mention also both Halford and the previous singer of the band, Alan Atkins! The lyrics clearly talk about a woman!
@@alexzoris7216 Did not know that, super interesting to learn. Thank you for that!
@@PanthraxIV you are welcome! Check recordings from Alan Atkins, you will find there a song called "Whiskey Woman" 😉
Had to bring that up! Just had to din'cha? Let it go man! Doh!
@@georgeresburg5809 Right?!
Queensryche - revolution calling. Great lyrics
Talked about the 1% before it was cool. 😎
I think just about anything Queensryche. That lead singer cam sing his ass off.
Absolutely. Even though I would throw at them 'Eyes of a Stranger' first....
Empire
+GianCork - Hell yeah! Geoff Tate's vocals on Eyes of a Stranger are incredible! Anything on Mindcrime is great!!!
Death- Crystal Mountain
Living Colour - Cult of Personality
Definitely check out Beyond the Realms of Death by Priest, also one of their best songs
I second that!
It’s their best song live.
Painkiller came out 20 years after Victim of changes! The Metal Gods evolved over time! Greatest Metal band ever!!
Wasn't 14 years?
I totally love this channel. Love your reactions and you pretty much hit the nail on the head with every song. Keep up the awesome videos.
One of the best vocal performances by Halford. Another great song is Beyond the realms of death from the 1978 album Stained class.
Great song by Priest. Very blues oriented. The irony is that it was Priest who later went on to remove the blues factor from their music completely and went straight up metal. It is at this point where metal began to evolve.
You can still hear some bluesy overtones on Sinner or Call for the Priest, but songs like Dissident Aggressor or Hell Bent for Leather are pure fucking metal!
Thanks for covering one of my fave JP songs! I want to say that if it holds any interest to you it is my personal opinion that the live version of this song on the Unleashed In The East album/cd is a must listen experience. This is hard to express, but occasionally a band will find the true essence of a song through the many performances of it on their tours, and I feel that it all came together for them in Japan on this night's recording.
Also on a personal note, I really love the premise of what you are doing here!
we need you reacting to Pantera - Cowboys from hell
Rafabg08 yea man, any of pantera would work .. maybe Phil will comment again
Cemetery gates, floods. Something with a solo that will change their lives.
Next Judas Priest step for you should be *"Beyond The Realms Of Death"* imo
Utku Hasan
YES!!!
Judas Priest - Beyond the Realms of Death
Thank you so much for these videos guys! I listened to old school most of my life, until few years started listening to hip hop and electronic, but I always appreciated most music. Now I am coming back to these bands again, these videos make me smile so much.
Savatage-Hall of the mountain king
FTW
Think Savatage has some better songs, but it's still a good one. Criss Oliva rips it up!
Edge of Thorns, Follow me, Believe, Gutter ballet, This is the time, Conversation piece, when the crowds are gone, Jesus Saves, All that I bleed
and Chance
Their greatest song. Has everything and one of best metal tracks ever.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood = the smoothest thing you will ever hear!
Yes - Roundabout please!!
Love all of Judas Priest's stuff, but their 70's music has always hit a chord with me. Another cool video. You guys are the best reaction videos out there.
*Kyuss - Supa Scoopa And Mighty Scoop* (changed my mind from Freedom Run; given it some thought)
Hell yeah!
Uffff classic by Priest. Damn man, you nailed it one more time. Cheers from Peru!
I would love to give Judas Priest one more chance in the future but with "Jawbreaker" or "Riding on the Wind" 😅
Keep the good work 🙋
evilryu0 ayyy im peruvian too!!!
Paisano
In flames - Only for the weak !!
I'm late but ... just wanted to say I absolutely love your reaction videos! Impressed to see you all did this song! One of, if not my favorite Judas Priest album's. Rob's vocal's are unbelievable on this! Keep up the great videos, you just got a new subscriber.
Cult of Personality _ Living Colour
Adolfo Godoy, I keep requesting this, but some people think they've already heard it. If not, I definitely think they should get to it. Nearly perfect execution and a song kind of ahead of it's own time!
Adolfo Godoy yes!!!
Death- The Philosopher
*insert name here* This one.
If you do death please don't do the philosopher...too straight forward imo
chad greenaway It has a beginning that will grab you immediately, many sick in-your-face riffs, a great solo, and killer vocals. I don’t see anything bad here.
*insert name here*
Symbolic is a more catchy album to ease them in, they didnt like amon amarth
Symbolic!
Judas Priest Beyond the Realms of Death...
Robs vocals on this song are outstanding! Love you guys reactions to some classic metal that I grew up with....I loved it back when I was first introduced and still love it to this day. There is alot of good music out there and feel sad that I might never hear some good ones. Keep up the entertaining videos.
Judas Priest- Diamonds and Rust
Odd, why haven't we gotten to Ozzy yet (other than War Pigs)? It's a wonder that we haven't heard Bark at the Moon, Crazy Train, or Mama, I'm Coming Home yet...
Jason Monholland I totally agree he has some of the most legendary guitarists with him too. I’d love anything from him besides Crazy Train or Paranoid/Iron Man. Solo Ozzy would be fantastic, he’s the madman of rock n roll and his music has serious chops.
Anything off of blizzard or diary.. randy rhoads is my favorite all time guitar player
Mr. Crowley is the jam, so good. but yeah anything with Randy. Over the Mountain for killer solos, Flying high again for a more accessible feel
Bryan Chambers I’d be happy with anything from the first 2 or even No Rest/ No more Tears
Mr. Crowley or Crazy Train.
“Wasted Years” by Iron Maiden
Overrated, do "Caught Somewhere In Time" from that album instead, or Infinite Dreams!
I vote for "Powerslave", then something from Somewhere in Time, like maybe "Alexander the Great"
Check out their reviews for "Hallowed" and the "Trooper." They're not into Maiden.
"Wasted Years" is great, but Lost In Vegas found "The Trooper" repetitive and lacking vocal range so, I can't see them digging "Wasted Years". Now if they ever give Maiden a last chance... I think "Number of the Beast" would hit their buttons.
If they didn't get into The Trooper they definitely won't get into Wasted Years. They need to listen to SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON!! Or Infinite Dreams could be great as well.
Enjoyed watching you guys enjoy , I have been listening to this song for last 35 years. It is one of their hardest for sure.
King’s X - Dogman or Over My Head, genre bending supergroup!
Simon Slee oh yes! One of the most underrated bands ever...some Fishbone too 👌
Simon Slee yes king's X!!!!!
Next up from Judas Priest is The Hellion/Electric Eye!
You guys should also do a reaction to Accept 'Fast As A Shark' from their album Restless and wild. The lead singer is Udo Dirkschneider (all time great name for a lead singer).
hi de hi do hi da!
That entire record was fire. Princess of the Dawn. Come on. But they are no Judas Priest. But in my top 6
If you're going to Accept then definitely you will have to do balls to the wall without a doubt balls to the wall
Thank you guys so much for this!! I'e been requesting this one forEVER, man. Please do more Metallica (Blackened, Ride the Lightning, Frayed Ends of Sanity, Of Wolf And Man, Sanitarium, etc...) and more AC/DC (Have a Drink on Me, Walk All Over You, For Those About to Rock, etc.) as soon as you possibly can...you guys will have your minds BLOWN. Been here since 50k subs. Thank you so much again! I always drop everything to watch your posts. #freethinkers
Also...for the next Judas Priest song, please consider Screaming for Vengeance or Devil's Child! A whole new era of Priest that has the perfect blend of old school and new school metal--rock and roll groove plus the shred! Haha
Eh, I wouldn't consider those songs anywhere near the cusp of old and new school metal. Even when they went guitar synth in "Turbo" and "Ram it Down" they were still old school. I'd say it wasn't until after "Painkiller" and the break-up that nu-metal started along with the grunge scene.
Paul Walsh Perhaps I should've said, the perfect blend of old school Priest and new school Priest! I definitely think so. Ram it Down is a shred-fest (which I love), but Screaming still has traces of that "British Steel" feel while still clearly sonically inching toward that "Ram it Down" sound later in the decade.
... a perfect blend... OK I can get on board with that. Definitely, "British Steel" through to "Defenders" are of a stylistic sound that they depart from with the guitar synths of "Turbo" and " Ram It Down". Painkiller is kinda the mutated merging of the two sounds. I think "Painkiller" is quite reminiscent of a "Hard As Iron" mixed with "Metal Gods" and "The Sentinel"
MrMustard Call of Ktulu for sure.
Metallica - Unforgiven
Death - Crystal Mountain
Alice in Chains - Would
Iced Earth - Watching Over Me
Iced Earth - Dracula
Deep Purple - Burn
Volkmire highway star
Burn is a great song, but for this channel I would start with Space Truckin.
"Blood Red Skies" epic and powerful song from Judas Priest
I'll keep on requesting FAITH NO MORE until you guys do them!!! :D
Silas Rodrigues Epic
Judas Priest - The Sentinel
The band I can't see you ever reviewing (but you should) that was *hugely* inspired by Judas Priest is Mercyful Fate. They had a similar guitar tone (that vintage/classic guitar sound), and some insanely love them or hate them vocals. "Into the Coven", "The Oath" or "Come to the Sabbath".
YES!!! Anything from Melissa would be awesome!!!
i'd love to see their reaction to any track off "Them".
Completely agree, early Fate would be awesome to see them review. Them riffz for days.
King Diamond 🤘🤘
As good as that album is, the production is rather crappy, especially compared to Abigail. Also, I like both bands almost equally, but I think I slightly prefer MF overall for the guitar tone, and often slightly less elaborate, yet more memorable riffs. King also had a tendancy to use his wonderful midrange vocals more with that band, where he mostly focused on falsetto in the other.
Favorite Priest song
