you didn't miss anything, you just started from the beginning, essentially JP became more metal with progression and hit their peak in early 80's with full leather and metal look and sound leading the way from England. They are still around today. The 83' US Festival concert has great footage of them live.

Oh yes. Judas Priest is one of the OG metal bands! PAAAAIIIIN KILLER!! :D

Go to the other extreme with a song most people start with and then think JP is heavier than they actually are. PAIN KILLER. And then listen to more and realize they are somewhere in between. GREAT BAND

This was early Judas Priest in 1975... they were promoting their 1st album 'Rocka rolla'... and this performance was a preview of what became their 2nd album 'Sad wings of destiny' (released in 1976) ... The image and sound of Judas Priest started w/ the 70's hippie style rock n' roll, but the band already had a heavy edge - they came from Birmingham, England where Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant and John Bonham came from... They would become a full-on heavy metal band by 1978 and defined the image of metal bands by wearing leather-and-studs outfits onstage... Rob Halford (vocals) would also ride a Harley motorbike onstage at Judas Priest concerts. Originally, Judas Priest was formed in 1969 by vocalist Al Atkins and later featured K.K. Downing (guitar) - the guy wearing the white hat... and Ian Hill (bass)... (the name came from a song by Bob Dylan) Atkins quit the band in 1973 and Rob Halford (vocals) joined and brought his powerful, high vocal range to the band... In 1974, the band asked Glenn Tipton (guitar) to join Priest... he was older and became the band leader - Tipton and Downing created the twin lead guitar attack that defined the heavy metal genre and inspired countless bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. As Judas Priest got louder and more aggressive... the band developed sonically and visually and finally broke big in 1980 when their 6th album 'British steel' went gold... scoring hit singles like 'Breaking the law'... 'Living after midnight'...🔥🔥🤘🤘 Priest's 8th album 'Screaming for vengeance' in 1982 sold platinum and they were the biggest heavy metal band in the world at that point for a bit... Judas Priest went through a few drummers in their career - this was (the late) John Hinch in the clip who played on their 1st album only... Les Binks played drums from 1977 to 1979... (the late) Dave Holland played drums from 1980 to 1989... and Scott Travis is their current drummer who joined in 1990. Unfortunately, founding guitarist K.K. Downing left the band in 2010 and was replaced by guitarist Richie Faulkner... Guitarist Glenn Tipton was diagnosed w/ Parkinson's disease and had to be replaced on tour by guitarist/ producer Andy Sneap. Rob Halford left Judas Priest in 1992 to work on other bands... he was replaced by vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens in 1997 and Priest recorded 2 albums w/ Owens before they reunited w/ Halford in 2004... Owens recently joined K.K. Downing's new band K.K.'s Priest in 2019 and have 2 albums out already.

Oh man...wait until you see painkiller .. one of the most iconic metal songs ever..can't wait for that reaction 👍😎🔥🔥🔥

I am glad you Guy's checked out Rob's early days as it shows his vocal capabilities with out being distracted from the fancy lights an all the other commotion going on the stage performances of today ,a true time capsule of how a legend is born!,,😎 Awesome review & reaction you 2!..🤘👍👍

Check out "Victim of Changes" Live at the US Festival circa "83" its awesome

Yes, Pegasus, Judas Priest are still touring and putting out new music. They just played a massive, 100,000 people metal festival in California on October 5, 2023 with Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Metallica . . . I would recommend Judas Priest, Victim of Changes from the Unleased in the East album. Peace.

Please! Do a chronological reaction to their discography. Is awesome how Judas Priest evolved time to time

Purple Haze is acid Jimi Hendrix liked it so well he wrote a song about it called "Purple Haze"

That was heavy metal 70s style and as heavy metal progressed they moved with it and that is what makes them great to this day.

beyond the realms of death

Actually "purple Haze" is in reference to a hallucinogen named mescaline. It was a favorite of Jimmy Hendrix hence the song "Purple Haze".

rocking After Midnight

They were just inducted into The Rock Hall of Fame last year. Eminem was inducted as well. I watched all of Em being inducted and at the end most of the artists went on stage and sang Jolene with Dolly Parton. It was so strange to see lead singer Rob Halford sing with Dolly 😂🤯 Not surprisingly Em wasn’t a part of that performance 😊

PAINKILLER then electric eye 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ❤these Rock and Metal reaction videos

Try their epic ballad beyond the realms of death

Soooo Judas priest holy wow let's go lads. Am I dreaming?? Happy Sunday from AUSTRALIA

The Old Gray Whistle Test was a talent show in Britain in the 70s, most of the British Invasion bands started there ,that’s where they are performing

This is the '70 Judas Priest.. They were formed in 1969 in Birmingham, UK, like Black Sabbath. They're started as a lighter blues/heavy rock outfit, with songs like Rock Rolla. This song is on Sad Wings of Destiny, which is their second album , and 1st of the legendary ones. That bald + leather -thing was on Painkiller in 1991, and that album is the epitome and dictionary example of Heavy Metal - all killers, no fillers.

That was badass. Love Judas Priest, my favorite song is You've Got another thing coming. ☮️☮️☮️

Fun to see Judas in the beginning,Glenn plays shy & pollite,When they got more popular they started with their leather outfits & head-banged to the drum tempo -)

You want metal Priest? Then it is time to check out Painkiller. Iconic song title you know, everybody knows, is Breaking the Law.

Woooooo! JUDAS!!!

Judas Priest are literally formed 3 miles from where i live. They are such grounded guys to this day, glad to see people still giving them props.

This was around 1975 ! They are still recording albums & touring ! xx

They were dictating where heavy metal was going for many years

And its a totally different world

They've been going since 1968 Still to Today

1 of the godfathers of metal

2024 i think : april , The New Judas Priest Album came out , the New Single is out now

This is "The Old Grey Whistle Test". Much of the point of that show was to show bands that sung/played live. No playback/singback...

Jimmy Hendrix sang ''Purple Haze all in my brain''. When I was a teen (1968) I had some Purple Haze once, it was an LSD cap for a 18 hours insane trip.

I like your reactions. Judas Priest as kids. Please try next time one of their Metal Songs.

This was 1975, and they were still figuring out who they would be. The album this came from, wasn't released till 1976. In 1978, they started the leather look, and the total metal sound. Even this album, has a lot of metal on it. Ripper and Tyrant are definitely metal, from this same album. Next song you should do, is " victim of changes" from this album, or " painkiller", for their 90s sound. They have a brand new song called " panic attack" that sounds awesome. The new album isn't out till March, but the song is on youtube

Yeaah! Finally my fav band! You really gotta check some more songs by them... Their songs are usually much heavier. But you should go chronologically through their music. Next one should be Victim of Changes LIVE or You've Got Another Thing Coming (LIVE from Epitaph tour)! Enjoy!!

The songs to check out by these guys are victim of changes, got another thing coming, breaking the law, living’ after midnight, Hell bent for leather, heading out the highway. Those are all great Priest songs.

IF you want to react to Slayer there can only be one choice: Raining Blood - One of the most iconic and legendary guitar riffs in metal music of all time

Now you dipped your toe I would recommend Painkiller.

Now follow up with their song "Painkiller" and see how the evolved and shaped metal. They popularised the leather 'metal' look.

Judas Priest my fav Band and Rob Halford is definitely my fav vocalist

next year they are celebrating their 55th year anniversary

Electric Eye

Painkiller is probably a better song but this one is so great with a lot of dimensions. Rob is showing off his range while Tipton got both shreddy and melodic solos, along with the rhythmic shift.

You CANNOT stop here. You need to do something from later in their catalog. Most people go for Painkiller to react. It’s heavy as hell.

Oh my, i was just asking about Priest. This is really old, before they got their classic look. Halford has an amazing voice! Victim of Changes off the same album really shows off his voice.

Amazing ❤ Please do more rock as well Please. 🙏 Priest Is amazing, lyrics and music are top notch. They are very much metal this was just the beginning late 70s i think. Do Painkiller or The sentinel

I wonder if you guys ever listened to the full version of Thin Lizzy's "The boys are back in town".

Captain Caveman 😂😂😂😂 nice reaction

Subbed. They are my number one band, last century and now. Always will be, but the surprise and who follows them is mind-blowing. Female Japanese Hard Rock n Metal bands. Lovebites Band-Maid Babymetal Aldious Mary's Blood

Blood red Sky's and diamonds & Rust are amazing

Over 48 years playing together

New album out now!!!!

Google metal god and the lead singer Rob is what it brings up

After British Steel the Metal became more defined by the Two bands that played at the hip together back to back, maiden used to be first but as the decades went on was priest who thrown down the gauntlet and defined True Heavy Metal but then recently both Maiden and Priest have their own venue with guest bands. Rob has some movie themed songs to. I licked British Steel steel so much on my workout list that I became a beast were people didn't believe I could go so far in a short period of time. Defenders of the faith took Priest into it's own genre. Heavy Metal.

JP was one of the OG New Wave British Heavy Metal that began the invasion in the 60s and 70s.

Victim of Changes is a masterpiece. Rob Halford has a huge vocal range. Enjoyed the Priest Feast a few years back with Megadeth.

Future of Rock is The Warning!

Definitely check out Green Manalishi. JP covering old school Fleetwood Mac.

This is Rob Halford at his peak. Absolutely majestic early metal vocals

Screaming for vengeance best album in my opinion

Fantastic

Turbo Lover

Check out Disciple live at the TEATRO METROPOLITAN THEATRE from the warning!!! Youve been Warned!🤘

Finaly real music,

This is a pretty deep cut for Judas Priest

The opening reminds me a little of Strange Fruit (Billie Halliday)

Judas Priest just released their new song Panic Attack from the upcoming 2024 album Invisible Shield.

TBH that's the first time I've seen Rob Halford with long hair

Omg guys. LOTS going on here !!

Don't sleep on the band The Warning

The lead singer Rob Halford used to be anybody's opera singer before they formed the band❤ You got another thing coming is an amazing song❤

Breaking the law

Believe I already had reached 3rd grad at school .. that year … Old bastard 🤣

The Warnig =3 Ass kicking sister rock band from Mexico who sing in English = Hottest Rock Band out! Don't sleep on them!!

Also one of the best live bands 😅

I like the early stuff! I’m more of a Zeppelin girl though 😁❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

Guys, Painkiller is one of the most revolutions metal album, if you want to understand the Judas/metal, you can react to any or all songs in the album, including the song that goes by the same name.

New album due out in March. Already some good singles out.

Breaking the law, living after midnight and you gotta another thing coming! This is not a snapshot of their iconic period. It does show off Rob Halfords vocal range. Whay early in the bands infancy. Peace.

Horns up way high!

IMHO the best interpretation of this song is provided by Lyric Interpretations: "This song is about the realization that the hippy dream and lifestyle of the 1970s was a lie based around drug and alcohol consumption and "Free love". The first part is "Dreamer" it is describing the naive assumption of the hippy's that these things were changing lives in a positive way, that flower power ideal made a difference to the world. The second part "Deceiver" is a turning point in the song, it gets a lot angrier and is about waking up to the fact that although these things felt good at the time, they were deceiving themselves into thinking they were changing anything in the world. There's mention of nuclear bombs and references to war nearing the end of the song, this is Judas Priest saying, just because we forgot about the evils in the world, lost in a drug, drink and free love haze and the hippy ideal, the problems of the world had not disappeared, we had just forgotten about them and deceived ourselves into thinking we were really making any difference at all."

SEETHER OR NAZARETH 🔥😊

Painkiller, The Sentinel, Another Thing Coming

Guys this was the VERY early days. Check out some of the later music this is my all time favorite band. Legends of METAL ..Try Metal GODS for a song, that will get you.

Black Sabbath are one of the best bands of all time

Judas Priest was start before Black Sabbath but first popular metal album was Black Sabbath ! For me you dont start with the good one but we ear all her talent : great signer , guitar , bass and drum ! And you got to go see there story to understand leather ha ha !

JP just dropped a new joint. Like vintage priest. Solid metal. Trial by Fire.

Purple Haze is acid

When rob had hair

The Ripper, Green Manaliesh, Painkiller, I do indica to go to work.

Rob Tipton KK Hill and Inen were young pups here. But they paved the way and became the psychedelic Rock of the 70's to Heavy Metal cutting edge stuff. British steel broke the music world it was considered underground back then as we know their fans like Metalica came right up behind them. We were Jocks, nerds, Geeks, Dweebs but music brang us all together. They era we hung out, some tried pot and shrooms acid LSD or the better was masculine were we all tripped out to Maiden Priest Sabbath Deep Purple Zeppelin. Later more speedy Metalica Cliff had bell bottom Jeans cocaine Master of puppets Rush Van Halen all coked up.

Check out Victim of Changes. Just wow.

Check out their song Painkiller.

Just like maiden, and skynard 2 lead guitarists

Judas priest painkiller and victim of changes live 83

You can certainly hear where heavy metal came from on the second song played, Deceiver. Those fast chugging riffs and screaming vocals were not common in rock music yet. Led Zeppelin did that with the Immigrant Song, but Priest took that - developed it, modernized it, and more or less built a genre out of it.

This is one of Priests early ballads and really shows off Robs insane vocal range. There were some heavier songs on this album though. Victim of Changes and The Ripper are bangers and I thoroughly recommend that you check them out

But when their together lone they can be themselves

Now do Judas Priest "Painkiller"
