Guys, come see my music analysis show IN PERSON, it's so much fun. Tickets still available for London (Hayes) & Liverpool. Hope to see you there! Tickets: tinyurl.com/kneukve2
@@SuziQ. I'm not sure there's much a channel can do as they're usually spambots, more will always pop up. I imagine they annoy Jenny and Justin even more than us 😂
@@SuziQ. When we see them, we report them and also hide them from the channel so their posts can't be seen. That's about it, but it's hard to catch them as there's comments happening across all the videos all day.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain , Thank you. Is there anything we can do to help, besides reporting them? The app doesn’t do much. You hiding them and reporting them seems to work better/faster than any of us reporting them does, though I’ll continue to report them.
Did you even actually watch this? Sad to say but he did not play a lick of guitar in this video or any of the others they have released lately. Video is 5:46 long and Glenn had a total of 19 seconds of screen time and 3 of those seconds were him walking in the door, and his right hand is purposefully hidden throughout and he only touched the strings 5 times to "chug-chug-chug-chug-chug" the E string , and the rest was very quick cuts of his left hand just holding the neck and not playing at all.
@@brade85 OR it’s just frikking awesome that Glenn is still a brother in the band, not letting his illness stop him from getting on with it, he’s not giving up and we all love that about him and his mates. Well, all of us except you, apparently 🙄
I state undeniable verifiable facts about a video, and you interpret that as me not supporting Glenn? What a moronic interpretation and response! Triggered much? And I love how you use emojis to get your point across like a 12-year-old! Hahahaha!!!!@@bobbyroot6140
@@brade85 Yeah, it's just for show. But it's good to see him. Have they found a permanent replacement for him? It would be cool if they just brought KK back but it would be odd. I thought it was Glenn's wife that was keeping him from coming back? Everyone makes mistakes. Ride out with as many OGs as possible.
If you read Rob's autobiography, you learn that he recorded three tracks with Stock, Aitken and Waterman. I would love to hear them. I love Judas Priest and my admiration of Mr Halford just grows the more I learn about him.
When this sing first started I thought it was going to have a similar vibe to Iron Maiden’s “The Mercenary” because of the similar open string arpeggios and the main guitar riff having a similar melody to Bruce Dickinsons vocals of “Show them no fear, show them no pain.” Then when the verse began and the music strips down and I thought “Wow! Thats so reminiscent of something off Rocka Rolla or Sad Wings Of Destiny”. Then the arrangement of the intro riff supporting the chorus vocals and guitar solo brings the whole thing to resolve into a moment of enlightenment for the listener. Song writing at its finest. I saw Judas Priest live in Birmingham a few weeks ago and this song is amazing live.
He didn't always do the thing in the old days either. Regardless of the lack of Banshee yells, I really liked this. I love Judas Priest, don't ask me to be objective! 😀
Great band...Remember being young and watching them live and he came out from under the drum kit on a motorbike.....i was blown away...there's nothing like rock n roll.
I saw Judas Priest in 1975 just about the time that their first album”Rocka Rolla” came out. They were an unknown band and only about 50 people turned up so we all stood between the front row seats and the stage. They were very loud and I was blown away by what I was seeing and hearing. I’m pleased to hear that they are still making great music and it looks like the original line up which is quite a feat.
@@ZiddersRooFurry It’s like the Beatles or Thin Lizzy. Nobody remembers the original line up, they just remember the best line up, the one that was most successful.
My mum took me to see Judas Priest on the British Steel tour in 1980 when I was 11. It was my first ever gig. To this day I still have a soft spot for them despite metal not being my preferred genre of music. The guitarists were great at doing that dual guitar thing and Rob Halford is just a legend! And there are lots of songs that don't include a banshee wail or even a little scream...
Welcome back J, worth you're weight in gold to raise a smile. Always cracks me up when you immediately pick up the acoustic to "break it all down", whatever the genre ! :)
I've been obsessed with this song ever since they released the lyrics video. Amazing! Can't wait to see them live this year. Oh, and you should use a Flying V...
I've been really impressed with the latest work of Iron Maiden and now Judas Priest. This is nuanced, mature, near-symphonic majesty by bands who, against odds and time, are at the height of their skills, imagination, power... I am happy to say I knew them when, and am even more in awe of them now.
If you have been listening to Priest for any time at all you'll know that they're not a one note band. They change it up. That's why I love them so much because they do just that.
I ABSOLUTELY love watching your reactions, Justin, and your hilariously dry commentary- You’ve really found a perfect pocket for your particular and peculiar personality……most probably, and I, Sir, am impressed;)! Congratulations, and continued successes are what I wish for you, and your budding channel! Take care!
JUDAS PRIEST for the 3rd time yeahhhhh!!!🤘 I can't wait for the whole album🤩 That little teddy bird is adorable🥰 (I didn't know you like cute fluffy teddy toys😊) 03:41 ABSOLUTELY YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘 08:50 I'm intrigued by who is that friend of you with the kilt😂 Could you tell us what's their name?👀😁 Thanks for another great episode, as always... brilliant! ❤
Saw them live one the Angel of Retribution tour. Was absolutely insane, his voice was perfect that night being warmed up from a few shows before that night (the AoR live video was at the very beginning of the tour, quite raspy). Hit every high note clean like it was 1976
I remember teaching myself how to drive stick and playing "screaming for vengence" on the cassette player. I credit Judas Priest with helping me to learn how to drive😂
Rob ages like fine wine. Not really the stuff i listen to, but it's very very good, so that's saying something. I'm sure it's one of those tracks that would grow on me. Normally i don't like high pitched vocals, but the lyrics are just masterful and the band itself is clean af. Go Robb 👏🤟
Killer Judas Priest song !! Love this. And I sub'd a while ago. Really Love this channel. Love what Justin does. I've noticed, or at least I believe that Justin has close to perfect pitch. Good stuff. Thank you !!~ Would love to see him do some interviews. Lets start with these boys. thanks !!~
Cheers brother! As a drummer myself I've never been too fond of the really wet sounding bass drum I myself prefer a more rounded sound like John Bonham I saw Judas priest in 1982 on the screaming for vengeance tour in Rob sounds just as good as he did 40 years ago
I was fortunate to see the BRITISH STEEL anniversary tour back in 09. I was at band practice, all the other guys in the band were quite a bit younger than me, the guitarist says, " Anyone here like Judas Priest? My sister gave me tickets, but I dont really know them..." Well now. Lets say we go for a ride. I grew up on Priest and Maiden and Ozzy and the GODS of the 80's. They were outstanding. Prior to that show, the most professional " shit together" synchronized, powerhouse heavy metal performance I had ever witnessed was SLAYER in concert. SLAYER made no bones about the influence and impact of PRIEST on their whole existence, I witnessed the truth of this. JUDAS PRIEST are a well oiled metal machine.
Apologies if someone said it already but the melody of "Heavy as the crown" reminds me of "Steady as she goes" from the Raconteurs haha. Cool song though!
I have two Gibson Flying Vs and two Gibson Les Paul guitars, so it is from solid decades of experience that I can insist you will LOVE everything about using/playing/having/hearing a Flying V. Fun fact: KK Downing was the inspiration for my first Flying V purchase in the 1980s, and for the second V, too! lol
Just for fun, just now, I weighed nine roe deer antlers (enough to make a crown) and they weigh 650 grams. 🙂 Add connective materials, probably in metal, to that, and a crown of horns would probably be at least a kilo. Yes, I am (spectacularly) bored tonight! 😀
I watched this video when it was released, the Priest Video that is. They always sound fresh and Halford is and always will be “The Metal God”!!! Thanks to Justin for calling attention to this… 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
The drummer is so fucking real......Scott Travis from Virginia. I have watched him play in local bands since, at least, 1982. His dream was to play for PRIEST! And he achieved it!
It's annoying how you are a good looking and well spoken to the point of realization that life is not fair (at least until we all die and impossibility of taken anything with us once we are dead...)
You're kidding, he was an alcoholic smoked everything and screamed way too much. However his starting point (vocal range, ability et al) was so incredible that after all the misuse, he still sings better than most.
Glad you are home safely Justin. Great gig in Adelaide as always! So glad you didn't have to cancel and soldiered through your "cold". Thank you. I have been a Priest fan forever and Rob H is probably my favorite Metal singer. The production on the new stuff is fantastic (modern, fresh and not dated at all) and it is amazing that Rob H can still hit the notes. I agree the Drum sound is fat and authentic. I am pleased to see Glen Tipton still playing, as last I heard, he had Parkinson's disease. Of interest, the 2nd guitarist is the wonderful Richie Faulkner who is married to George Lynch's daughter ("Dokken"). Family Xmas jams must be quite something. No Banshee wail surprised me too - suspense until the next time I guess :)
First concert I saw as a teen in 1979 was Kiss, with Judas Priest opening. Priest were about to break in America a year later and were really amazing that night. I still love live music at 60, but Priest were the first band I saw live. Lucky me! 👍 👏
Plush chick toy on its first day is already one of the best things ever to appear live on JHRA. Could add a JHRA branded plush chick toy to the online store, it would sell very, very well. I think "Crown of Horns" is likely a lyrical play on words of "Crown of Thorns". Judas Priest UK & Ireland tour is less than a month away. Will be intriguing to hear the invincible setlist.

I saw Priest in 1988 in New Haven Connecticut on the Turbo Tour and it was the loudest show I'd ever been to including Motorhead lol Theres only 2 singers from the 70's and 80's that have kept their voices: Rob Halford and King Diamond That opening riff is classic Priest I'm a drummer of 41 yrs and Scott is a monster on the drums As far as the kicks sounding clicky in certain metal it has to do with the types of beaters they use I took a cue from the goat Vinnie Paul and glued a quarter to my kick drum head and used a wooden beater head for that thwack that cuts right thru a mix or live gig Great tune looking forward to a new album 🧐🤘✌️
It was on mercenaries of metal tour, for Ram it down. There s few bootlegs of thoses nights i have, and its one of the most brutal Priest gig ever done. The band is on uranium
Also, as for the excellent, iconic Judas Priest, the album is excellent! And , as you so accurately ( I think) stated at the end, at this point, JP have nothing more to prove, and CAN, AND DO, play/ sing however they want, and we love and respect them all the more for it, yes? That being said, I am so happily SHOCKED at how they’ve managed, after ALL THESE YEARS, to make such a kick ASS ALBUM at this stage in their careers! Simply BRILLIANT. Take care, Justin, and well played!
Good sir, you pointed out a part at the beginning ( at 3:54 ) and the chord progession sound almost identical to "Two Tickets to Paradise" by Eddie Money. It was like.. whoa that's cool. Two toally different genres but damn that's awesome. Love your videos. Do more metal! Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth, Papa Emeritus from Ghost (he's hilarious) etc. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Sometimes the unique range of an artist doesn't fit a song. Sometimes it just seems more of a forced gimmick. I mean, come on! You're the lead singer of the darkness! Your voice is amazing in all tones, the high octive range is awesome...... Sometimes, not all the time. ❤

100%
agree
It's a time when the word "need" isn't out of place imho
Absolutely get a V & a Explorer 🤘
No way theyre awful. Explorers even worse.
Simply, JP is still the best in the game. Forever carrying the torch for metal.
In comparison to current Maiden they are flawless

@@ZiddersRooFurry It’s like the Beatles or Thin Lizzy. Nobody remembers the original line up, they just remember the best line up, the one that was most successful.

"I call out to the world tonight, to raise your horns up high"...I forsee a great live moment with the crowd when they sing that on tour. Horns Up!
That was definitely written to be played live.
I expect to see a tons of mobile recordings of the band trying to get the audience to do it. :P
That line alone gave me chills.
Welcome back J, worth you're weight in gold to raise a smile. Always cracks me up when you immediately pick up the acoustic to "break it all down", whatever the genre ! :)
You mentioned their "melody"...I think that's always been their strength. Once again Justin your insight is awesome!
50 years later and Rob still sounds amazing, fantastic new album.
👍Loyalty. They included Glenn Tipton

Rush needs to be added to that list. Their last two studio discs were the most mature records in their entire catalog.
Hurray for Judas Priest🤣🤣 I love your channel.
"Should I get a Flying V?"
Why is this even a fucking question!?!
Please sir, YES!!
HOORAY! For the Judas Priest!
Mr. Halford is still kicking a**!
If you have been listening to Priest for any time at all you'll know that they're not a one note band. They change it up. That's why I love them so much because they do just that.
I'm not a Priest fan but this is a good rocking tune. I just read Rob's autobiography. It's a fascinating read. Definitely recommend.
Love priest. Last album was killer!!
Awesome how great Rob still sounds! 🫶🤘💖
I love your song break downs... I was fully waiting for the banshee wail, and was equally disappointed when it didn't happen. Thanks as always..
Judas Priest still rock 🤘and this YT channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites 🙏
Should you get a Flying V? No. Should you get 2 Flying Vs? Hell yeah!

Okay, good start! 🙂 And I like that it's just them in the video!
Can't think of another singer from that era who treated their voice right and never blew it out.
You're kidding, he was an alcoholic smoked everything and screamed way too much. However his starting point (vocal range, ability et al) was so incredible that after all the misuse, he still sings better than most.

Plush chick toy on its first day is already one of the best things ever to appear live on JHRA. Could add a JHRA branded plush chick toy to the online store, it would sell very, very well.

Judas priest first rock band i got into in the 70s Robs voice is unbelievable a Richie F unbelievable guitsrist
Good tune. It was nice to see Glenn playing with them.
Did you even actually watch this? Sad to say but he did not play a lick of guitar in this video or any of the others they have released lately. Video is 5:46 long and Glenn had a total of 19 seconds of screen time and 3 of those seconds were him walking in the door, and his right hand is purposefully hidden throughout, and he only touched the strings 5 times to "chug-chug-chug-chug-chug" the E string , and the rest was very quick cuts of his left hand just holding the neck and not playing at all.
The question is not “Should I get a Flying V?” but more like “Why didn’t I get one years ago?” Do it now!
This is a class song. Absolutely brilliant. They played it in Dublin and it was the highlight of the show.
They were awesome last week at Wembley, incredible in fact
Such a privilege to have grown up with this awesome band.

That being said, I am so happily SHOCKED at how they’ve managed, after ALL THESE YEARS, to make such a kick ASS ALBUM at this stage in their careers! Simply BRILLIANT. Take care, Justin, and well played!
Saw them 3 times live. Loved every concert. All in Aberdeen. Highlight when he come on stage with the Harley (I think it was a Harley) Great stuff.
Wow they are amazing...Rob is amazing..Ian Hill is amazing...who can make a better metal anthem?
Good sir, you pointed out a part at the beginning ( at 3:54 ) and the chord progession sound almost identical to "Two Tickets to Paradise" by Eddie Money. It was like.. whoa that's cool. Two toally different genres but damn that's awesome. Love your videos. Do more metal! Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth, Papa Emeritus from Ghost (he's hilarious) etc. Anyway, keep up the good work.
5 mins in an we still haven't heard the song. Bloody hell Justin..
Sometimes the unique range of an artist doesn't fit a song. Sometimes it just seems more of a forced gimmick. I mean, come on! You're the lead singer of the darkness! Your voice is amazing in all tones, the high octive range is awesome...... Sometimes, not all the time. ❤
I'm gonna see the Priest at Prudential Center April 19th ,Rock Forever
A metallic Flying V would be perfect for Solid Gold
Also, please come back to Indianapolis! Hell of a show!
Seen Priest three times since Firepower was released. The fact they followed up that album with another great one is truly remarkable.
I just stumbled across your channel - loving it! Cheers!
I *do* give a Flying * about you getting a Flying V
Buy it, buy it now ...... 😆
Good song, real musicians, a rare commodity.
