Ripper can literally cover for Dio, Quiet Riot, Accept and of course he saved Judas Priest and now continues to showcase his masterful vocals diversity in KK’s Priest! Awesome 😎
hey all you guitar players out there go to 2:36 and put a hold on it. I never saw anything like this the strings don't wrap around the posts, and it also looks to me like this flying V has a scalloped fingerboard.
KK the coolest 70 year old on the planet. How many men can play with such energy and ability at that age? Brilliant band he's put together very very talented musicians all of them.
the best thing here is that this proves that you don't needvery low drop tunning or cookie monster vocals to be heavy metal.. this sounds better than ⁹⁰% of modern metal music
K.K. makes lemonade out of lemons! This is NOT an ex-band member wallowing in obscurity. THIS is a founding member putting HIS stamp on his very own NEW band. The obvious JP nods are in this case TOTALLY VALID and JUST! HE invented much of what JP was and is. Now he's bringinging it to his great new endeavor. Gotta say, that drum line and break are fucking scrumptious. Great song/band!
This is totally filler. Inane lyrics. Riff like Orion. At least KK is showing some lead guitar skills, unlike with Priest where all he did was make whammy bar noises like another wannabe Hendrix
What are you talking about?? KK had the heavier solos in Priest, Glenn was the technical one while KK was the shredder, watch the later concerts before he left Priest and you will see!
@@J0S3PH_J0HNS0N 100 % agree ! If anyone hears judas priest spirit in this song ...he must have missed something about Judas Priest , that's for sure !
Thirty three years ago I was listening to "Ram It Down" for the very first time after buying it with a friend. Then my friend asked me a philosophical question: What kind of music would we listen to when we were forty years old? Hell yeah! I'm almost fifty and I'm banging my head with this video!
Exactly. Many get into music when they're young wanting to be cool with their friends. A lot of them 'grow out of it' when they get older. But when you reach midlife & are the only person you know still listening to it & people look at my music collection & think 'what a nerd', I just laugh to myself cos they really don't get it... As cheesy as it may sound, metal is a way of life, not a trend. The few & the proud live & breathe this shit for life \m/ \m/
I wonder how many people listened to metal in their teens, get into their mid 20s and think they've grown out of it. Later, in their 30s look at a long unplayed Priest, Maiden or whatever CD and think "haha, I used to be into this stuff", and put it on for a laugh. Then they go "Shit! I forgot how good this is!" and the volume goes UP! There's a lot of catching up to do...
This Album is more Judas priest than Judas priest... been a huge priest fan and this hard coming from me..believe you me. Maybe KK is Judas priest....🤯
The four songs that KK's Priest has released and especially this song is a perfect example that K.K. Downing was very important in Judas Priest and in the creation and development of heavy metal music from the beginning. K.K. has shut many mouths and kicked many asses..
It just goes to show how big of a part of priest kk was hes still able to create great metal music and ripper is one of the most underrated singers ever
Its like hearing 1/2 of what made JP great. Meanwhile the other 1/2 is sitting at home with Parkinsons. :-) and Rob who brought the music to life is celebrating JP 50th...
Well he was once. Ripper is pretty awful live nowadays. These recordings he obviously spent some time in the studio getting it right, something he will never be able to reproduce live (that debut show they did he was straight cringe)
@@NaturalMystic69 JP was going to retire 2011 because the bands performances was declining and there were tentions in the band. Mainly between Glen and KK, with Glen not playing as tight anymore and having more and more control of the band via his gilrfriend the JP manager. All felt the band had run its course 40+ years. After JP announced their farewell tour, KK decided he would not partake in it being not happy with the things he endured in the band. But after a couple of months he reconsidered as he wanted to finish the ride. Instead of engaging with him JP instead announced to the press they would do the farewell tour with a replacement guitar player and make at least another album and that KK had retired. This made KK upset as this wasnt true situation. So he quit the band and wrote an agry letter. to his bandmates. Then Glen turned out to have parkinsons and couldnt play anymore.KK expected this to be an opening for his return considering it beingt the 50th year of their existance. But JP rather tour without their original guitar players and now have their producer filling in for Glen. Meanwhile JP doesnt respond to any question about KK not returning to JP. Total silence. With not able to reclaim his place in JP, which legacy is synonymous with him being in it, KK set out to do his own music...doing exactely what he he always done. Hence the band name. Its no solo record perse..but KK doing where he left of ten years ago.
Tim... man... the vocals are better now than during your tenure with Judas Priest, in my opinion. Kk... still got it... so relieved to see this comeback All around, great lineup.
KK is one of the best metal guitarists ever. His wammy bar influenced countless players and nobody puts that feeling on stage as KK does, it is like he is living through his solos.
Agent Steel, Helloween, Iron Maiden, KK's Priest, and Megadeth all releasing an album in the same year. Raven released an album late last year and Saxon is releasing one early next year. What a great time for Classic Metal right now.
Not only a heavy metal anthem but a true way of life for these guys and all if us true soldiers of metal worldwide!!! Not a bad song on this album...both fist raised for a true metal salute to K.K.s PRIEST!!!

Lord Master
Kenneth Downing
Thank You .
We will rise again on your wings .
We now have two EQUALLY legitimate versions of Priest. Ripper-your hour has finally come!
I'm waiting for KK's Priest new album. If you are looking for the meaning of heavy metal, you got it in this band.
KK Downing the beast of Metal guitars
Ripper is one of the best metal vocalist's of all time.
I think you meant to say Rob Halford
@@MetalHeart8787Rob's mediocre at best.
Fact!
@@MetalHeart8787nope. He didn’t stutter. He said Ripper.
@@tacosupreme1984 spittin' facts?? 😅🤣
Kenneth, Ripper, A.J., Tony and Sean have carved their own place in HEAVY METAL.
God damn, never I thought I’d see Tim ripper return and with KK Downing. Dreams do come true
Ripper can literally cover for Dio, Quiet Riot, Accept and of course he saved Judas Priest and now continues to showcase his masterful vocals diversity in KK’s Priest! Awesome 😎
62 I can’t get enough metal
when k,k, gets cranking on the lead,keeeeeeeerang,classic priest
This is the way Judas Priest should sound today. Thank God we have KK.
K.K. Downing is born for heavy metal...100% talent 😰😰
@@RobSinner same answer dude! Agreed
Hell yes!
No argument anywhere.
Bates...argument? Ok...listen this song.😉🤫
THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY OVER DONE PRIEST ALBUM SINCE THEY KICKED HIM OUT, BIG ASS MISTAKE!!!
This song is catchy as hell!
I bought both KK vinyl's on release. Greeting from Norway.
This is a great sound. I'm very happy that Ripper comes back with Downing.
They need each other. The Ripper is a great vocalist, but he can't write a good, memorable song.
Except maybe 2 songs his entire life.

@@noneofyourbusiness4830. Tim doesn't write songs, but he's a lyricist.
Tim sounds better then ever. He's born for KK's Priest.
@@danielgrohl6971 Interesting. They're cut off at the locking nut. It is tuned at the floating bridge.
They said KK was burned out.... He looks ON FIRE to me !!!
Kind of funny since 10 years later he makes better JP albums than JP themselves.
KK & Ripper keeping Metal Alive!!!! 🎉
k.k. thanx for the lead,on a classic rock song,classic priest,you know
KK's priest best heavy metal band
Hail to the PRIEST!
Please, come to Poland , i want to see kk priest live
This is what metal should sound like.
that song should have been on point of entry,good job all of you
Rippers voice aged like fine wine
KK is the DEFENDER and not the pretender!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
KK the coolest 70 year old on the planet. How many men can play with such energy and ability at that age? Brilliant band he's put together very very talented musicians all of them.
Rudolf schenker and he is older 😉
@@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251 you are right he is super cool ….I had the privilege of seeing the scorpions a few years ago in Belfast-what a show!
@@paulwood2354 yes mate 2005 with judas priest, was there also, scorpions were awesome that night 👌
All the partying these guys have done and still stand up on stage
Glenn Tipton could, if...
Gracias y gracias esto si es heavy metal.....del veradero
the best thing here is that this proves that you don't needvery low drop tunning or cookie monster vocals to be heavy metal.. this sounds better than ⁹⁰% of modern metal music
KK's Priest Best❤👍🏾🤘🤘🤘
Jesus, when I'm 70, if I make it that far, I'll be struggling to raise my ass out of a recliner. KK is amazing. Metal from womb to tomb.
😂😂😂👍🇷🇴🇷🇴🤘
Came here straight after the Jasta interview,, KK is a Living Legend. Long Live the King!
It's good on Vinyl, BUT LIVE IT'S KILLER!
This music video has left me in awe and speechless. It was really 👍 great guitar 🎸 and all of the best of metal music 🎶🤘
THIS IS A HEAVY METAL DRUMMER..... KICKIN ASS
Absolutely love this song!
Love hearing old dudes like me rockin it out and showing the young gen where it all came from and that we still got it!!! 🎸🤟
ok, this is where ripper belongs. perfect
Saw this as a commercial but not gonna lie loved the retro vibe
Metal king Ripper Owens!
Tim sounds good
I'm calling out KKs Priest as best "new" metal band of the year AND having best metal album of the year!
Definitely!
Nah, there are some serious contenders, like Helloween, Iron Maiden...
Helloween has them all beat this year imo.
@@garrettcrowl1294 yes, that is a fascinating record, and set the bar very high to whoever that follows them.
Your standard might be really low if you think so
Just saw them live. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Pure power! 🤘
WOW!!! Another killer song....this is more Priest than Priest. Thumbs up!!!
KK & Owens Killer Metal "HELL IS HOME".
K.K. makes lemonade out of lemons! This is NOT an ex-band member wallowing in obscurity. THIS is a founding member putting HIS stamp on his very own NEW band. The obvious JP nods are in this case TOTALLY VALID and JUST! HE invented much of what JP was and is. Now he's bringinging it to his great new endeavor. Gotta say, that drum line and break are fucking scrumptious. Great song/band!
all is perfect, Drums, bass, guitar and vocals , 100 % pure and excellent heavy metal. Awesome
Metal Anthem. Raise your fists! Nailed it .
I told it several times in different forums: when Kenneth is playing, all Gods stand steel…
Holy crap! THE WHOLE ALBUM IS GONNA BE A BANGER!!! NO FILLERS!!!
this song IS a filler lol
This is totally filler. Inane lyrics. Riff like Orion. At least KK is showing some lead guitar skills, unlike with Priest where all he did was make whammy bar noises like another wannabe Hendrix
Clean your ears. Sounds terrible
Sounds like a rip off of about a dozen Accept songs. It's fine, but anything off of Firepower beats all of these songs.
Always loved Rippers vox. He deserves this. Bravo guys. Bravo.
This is how Metal is supposed to sound. Huuuuuuu 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
one of the best jobs of this year KK,s
K.K. Downing is back, great.
KK is definitely stepping up on hist writing and soloing. Wish he wouldve did this years ago. You can hear where Judas Priest got their heavy side.
He was held back and frustrated which is why he left.
What are you talking about?? KK had the heavier solos in Priest, Glenn was the technical one while KK was the shredder, watch the later concerts before he left Priest and you will see!
@@J0S3PH_J0HNS0N
Read KK’s book…….in his opinion he was held back solo wise on every record pretty much the minute Tipton joined the band
@@thehawk05 He felt that their bitch manager Jayne Andrews had a lot to do with it especially since she was romantically involved with Glenn...
@@J0S3PH_J0HNS0N 100 % agree ! If anyone hears judas priest spirit in this song ...he must have missed something about Judas Priest , that's for sure !

KK made us young again bro
I'm 61. Into Metal since around 1972. Why would I stop listening to it?
@@kalter_wind The only possible answer to that question would be: "because everything you were as a young it was a lie, Bro".
Exactly. Many get into music when they're young wanting to be cool with their friends. A lot of them 'grow out of it' when they get older. But when you reach midlife & are the only person you know still listening to it & people look at my music collection & think 'what a nerd', I just laugh to myself cos they really don't get it... As cheesy as it may sound, metal is a way of life, not a trend. The few & the proud live & breathe this shit for life \m/ \m/

This is true heavy metal.
MR DOWNING TO ALL. GREETINGS FROM SPAIN
This Album is more Judas priest than Judas priest... been a huge priest fan and this hard coming from me..believe you me. Maybe KK is Judas priest....🤯
Ripper Owens returns!!! Yeah!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
K.K. is back! 😭😭😭
It looks like this is becoming a live favorite at the concerts
229 dislikes from Judas Priest fans that hate for no reason because it would have been a killer track for JP as well
Just jealous and annoyed hahah
@@lol-vw6lq Why would they be jealous of this?
@@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist cause he sings better than all of the haters
K.K got a new Judas for us ❤️🎸
great song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ripper is amazing
Fantastic. KK Downing is a LEGEND. Great band.
Still got it!! After all these years!!
Metal forever🤘🏻
Pure enjoyment🤘☮️👏 Ken with solo 🎸👊 Best from Poland
All killer no filler. Heavy Metal 🤘
This LP is the best Priest in a looooooooong time !
Hot damn! Great old school Priest vibe on this one!
better than previous albums of priest!kk make us proud...ripper on fire again
Great to see KK back in the saddle.
This is what i need

KK is a Legend 🙌🤘
C'est un Dieu du metal, et avec Owen c'est le strike!!
Have missed the screaming guitar of K. K. ROCK ON!
HAIL TO THE RIPPER
Raise your fists for KK

@@omniken66 no living rock guitarist can touch Buckethead. He's the G.O.A.T.

Sounds like a mix between Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. The rhythm guitar work is amazing!
Love this!! \,,/
Het is just like beyond fear!!
The harmony part sounded a little like the song Iron Maiden.
You hit the nail on the head with that analogy!
Looks like KK wrote a better Iron Maiden song than Iron Maiden have this year.
More like Saxon
KK kicks ass!
This sounds very good. I hope that Ripper finally gets the credit that he do deserves.
He wont because he doesn't!
