Victim of changes is from the same album and is arguably the best on the album and has a lot of the same elements in this song. Both the studio version and the live 1983 are excellent

The godfathers of metal. A very early and mellow song for them. Cool to see Rob with hair. He is considered one of the greatest metal vocalist of all time.

Yes! Glad you started with the early JP. Most reactors start with Painkiller and really miss the great build up. So many great albums and songs to choose from. Suggest Victim of Changes next!

OMG this is awesome thank you soooooooo much Cliff, judas Priest has been my fav band since 1979. Please go down the rabbit hole with Judas Priest Rob Halford's voice is ungodly wicked his 4 octave vocal range is nuts. I think you'd really like Victim of Changes from the album Sad Wings of Destiny or even a live version from the Live at the Seminole you will then see exactly how tight this band is. Rob Halford at 72 still has his high vocal range granted he doesn't do it as much now but he will never disappoint

Pioneers of metal coming out with a metal ballad, one of my all time favorites ❤

Sad Wings Of Destiny, the album this song was on, came out in 1977. A year later I was walking through a flea market with my dad and saw the artwork on the cover and bugged the old man for 50 cents to buy the cassette. Running up on 50 years later, I'm still a hardcore JP fan. They were my first step to being a lifelong Metal fan.

One of the best bands to have ever existed ❤❤❤❤ truly an amazing group of musicians 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Beyond the realms of death is a must ! from Judas Priest! pioneers of heavy metal!

Legendary band! Rob Halford is the metal god to many of us. Such a diverse catalog of music spanning over 6 decades. Yes that long and still going! Rob voice is amazing! The music is amazing. Rob voices is my serenity and I just love this man. He is such a cool guy!

Good place to start with Judas Priest, their 2nd album Sad Wings of Destiny, they had begun to find a band identity and direction, of course they would help create the classic denim and leather metal look a few albums later, the sound and style of heavy metal had begun to take shape with this album.

Victim of changes still one of my favorites..judas priest are amazing in general. Screaming for vengeance is legendary.

I would also add "Run of the Mill" to the list, my favorite Priest tune of all time with so much feeling! If you want a fantastic live song to check out, Rainbow "Mistreated" live in Munich '77. Ronnie James Dio on Vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Cozy Powell on drums...soo good. New Sub here!

Inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame last year.

Very Very early Priest. I suggest Victim of Changes. Wait til you get to some 80s Priest. It will melt your face off.

❤ devil horns up! This is early Priest! Halford's voice! Their most welk known album is likely British Steel and it is incredible, every track is fire!

Rob Halford has to be in the top 5 of the Greatest Metal Vocalists of all time. I've seen them at least 8-9 times over the many decades and not only is Halford a Metal God, but Glenn Tipton is a Metal God of the first order. I met & mixed with them several times backstage due to my cousin working for the largest concert promoter in Texas at the time. Good times.

Man, how many suggestions for this band. Classics like You've Got Another Thing Coming, The Sentinel, Turbo Lover, Painkiller, Breaking The Law. I recommend you: Raw Deal Tyrant Live Unleashed In The East Blood Red Skies Ram It Down Some Heads Are Gonna Roll Prívate Property All Guns Blazing

Love your reaction 😅😅 Judas Priest is 🔥

Wow 1st time really? Get ready for a ride.

Rob Halford is a freaking Legend !!

I’ve been a metalhead since the early 80s. I’m 54 now and Metallica and Judas Priest are still my top two favorite bands. Go down the rabbit hole my friend. You will not regret it.

I mainly listen to orchestral music these days but was privileged to see Priest at their peak in the early 80s at least three times.

Greatest Metal Band of all times....the Metal God's, Great song🤘🏻🤘🏻

And they’re still here welcome to the party. We’ve been waiting for you.

This is classic early Priest. Rob can sing anything he is that awesome ! xx

Rob Halford... the Metal God!

Dreamer Deceiver is ok, but I always skip it to get to Deceiver because Deceiver is so AWESOME!!! The studio version guitars kick ass! Of course Halford's voice is always fire. Best of Judas Priest... 1) Riding on the Wind 2) Heads Are Gonna Roll 3) Night Crawler 4) Touch of Evil 5) Hell Bent for Leather 6) Deceiver 7) Freewheel Burning 8) Heading out to the Highway

Judas Priest ...Living after midnight 🤍

This is one of my favorite songs by them, a lot of their later work is a lot heavier but this is still a great place to start your journey. They just released a new album a couple months ago and it is already getting great reviews

This is early Judas Priest from 1975 (I believe)... the band had just started and would evolve into a beast of a heavy metal band dressed in leather & metal spikes w/ vocalist Rob Halford riding a Harley motorbike on stage at Priest concerts. Judas Priest took their name from a Bob Dylan song, formed in Birmingham, England as a local rock band by vocalist Al Atkins... K.K. Downing (guitar) and Ian Hill (bass) of Priest were joined in 1973 by Rob Halford (vocals) who could reach high notes that Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin could not... As Priest were signed in 1974 to a small UK label, the band added Glenn Tipton (guitar) and made Judas Priest a twin lead guitar band... This BBC performance was done around that time, but the band was broke and 2 albums had failed to sell by 1976. Judas Priest were on the verge of breaking up in 1977 due to finances when an American label CBS Records offered the band a record contract... They recorded a 3rd album 'Sin after sin' in 1977 and started touring the US as an opening act as each album grew more intense and faster in tempos... Rob Halford (who is gay) decided in 1978 that he needed a makeover; he visited an S&M shop in London and bought a leather outfit w/ metal studs, leather pants and a bullwhip... The other members thought he looked striking and adopted the same outfits on stage. That became a standard image for heavy metal bands in the 80's. Priest toured America and Europe and ended up playing Japan in 1979... they finally broke big w/ their 6th album 'British Steel' in 1980 w/ Dave Holland (drums) joining and by 1982, they had a platinum record 'Screaming for vengeance' and were headlining arenas worldwide as one of the biggest heavy metal bands. The dual guitars of Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing set a standard for heavy metal and Rob Halford's high, intense vocal range had set a new standard for the genre. However, Priest encountered some setbacks... commercial records like 'Turbo' (1986) did not make them any bigger in sales and by 1989, they were sued for allegedly inspiring a double suicide of 2 of their fans in Nevada w/ "subliminal messages" in a 1978 track... The band was on trial in 1990 and had to prove in court that the perceived 'message' was a pure coincidence... They were finally acquitted, but admitted that it took a toll... The band w/ drummer Scott Travis joining, released their angriest and most intense album 'Painkiller' in 1990. In 1992, Rob Halford announced that he was leaving Judas Priest, shocking their fans globally... he worked on solo projects like the band Fight, while Priest went on hiatus for years... In 1997, Judas Priest announced a new vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens, but Priest fans would not accept a band without Halford on vocals after 2 studio albums - 'Jugulator' (1997) and 'Demolition' (2001). Priest reunited w/ Rob Halford and finally announced a reunion tour in 2004, releasing the comeback album 'Angel of retribution' in 2005... followed by the concept album 'Nostradamus' (2008). In 2010, original guitarist K.K. Downing announced he was leaving Judas Priest, citing differences w/ Glenn Tipton and the band's management... He formed a new band K.K.'s Priest w/ vocalist 'Ripper' Owens in 2019 and has released 2 albums since. Judas Priest hired Richie Faulkner (guitar) to replace Downing in 2011 and completed 2 more albums - 'Redeemer of Souls' (2014) and 'Firepower' (2018)... Glenn Tipton announced that he was diagnosed w/ Parkinson's disease and would be replaced on tour by Andy Sneap on guitar... Richie Faulkner also survived a health scare in 2021 when he needed surgery on tour for an aortic rupture; Faulkner recovered and was back on tour in 2022. Judas Priest is also working on a new album.

Buddy you're in for a treat you opened up a can of worms just pick a song off of any album before painkiller and you won't be disappointed😊❤

When this was performed, the song was just being written, the album didnt come out for a year later in 1976.

I signed up because of this

Before the Dawn...and The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown). some of my favorites

You definitely need more Priest. Beyond the realms of death is another great one. Victim of changes ….Shit, theyre all good. Lol Almost forgot Rib had hair at one time. Lol Rob Halford has a few side project bands too. Fight is one. They were awesome live.

Next try Desert Plains (live 82) for the next step up before The Painkiller😈🤯

All the greats have performed on the old grey whistle test no longer on.fantastic band checkout rainbow,rush also great. 👍🇬🇧

Killer song.

That really was a great video and a perfect start for Priest. You should do some songs from each album in order starting with this one, "Sad Wings of Destiny"

You just have started from the begining, good journey into metal \,,/

The studio version is cleaner and my preference.

Wow, some very early JP. Never knew Rob Halford ever had long hair, only heard them and never saw them this early. Great early nugget.

Nice reaction, priest have 18 albums all different. I think you should try Victim of Changes live from US Festival or Live Vengeance 82. You should also do, Youve Got another thing Coming.

Possibly my favourite Judas Priest song! (And they were for quite a few years my favourite band, so that's saying something.) Another vote for _Victim_ _of_ _Changes_ next, my preference would be the 1983 live version but that's not essential. Enjoy!

This is wonderful time capsule for my bike on heroin bands actually had to be proficient to deliver Flawless performances live without trickery and other mechanical and digital Shenanigans going on. This is a great song and Rob sings his ass off on it but it's probably not what I would consider representative of priests music as a whole, as this is really early in their career. They definitely got heavier over the years and really came to embody so much of what we now Associated as heavy metal. But there are some really cool ins and outs and ups and downs and stylistic changes that they've gone through over the years and it's very cool you started with this Aurora because it is indeed unique.

Off the brilliant album sad wings of destiny

Check out "The Sentinel" live. Rob sang his ASS off on that one!!

next year they are celebrating their 55th year anniversary

For more middle to late heavy metal priest I'd recommend any of the Epitaph videos. Or binge watch all of them.

You're witnessing the first version of The Metal God....Much more to see...

Oh this is from the live stream😅 that guitar skills tho

Should check out “Victim of Changes”. 83 US festival.

PPM... Priest...Pre Metal!!!

Judas priest - Sentinal

I like the harder judas priest but this was always good

Next: Victim of Changes Beyond the Realms of Death Rock Forever, from Unleashed in the East live

#WeStandWithCliff

Do Painkiller next! 🤘🤘

Frank Zappa “Cosmic Debris” Zappa is one of the best guitarists of all time

I suggest "Painkiller" for your next reaction.

Haaaaa!

Beyond the Realms of Death....play it...

Ok you scratched them. Now you need to go deeper. Listen to Victem of Changes. Tyrant, The Green Manolishi. I can go on for a long time

Very slow for the Priest. Wait till you hear Screaming for Vengeance or something off of British Steel.

find Exciter

If you want a contrast check out Painkiller live. Any one you find.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Tom Traubert's Blues (4 Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen)" by Tom Waits (Also known as "Waltzing Matilda"). His voice is so unique that one critic once described it as though "it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside & run over with a car"! He's a well-regarded & respected songwriter from within the "Rock" genre from the 70's & 80's. I'd LOVE to hear your take on his signature song. Link Here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nr1iqdyq2d6nd4E.html

Hey man pick a better song wtf.!!!

Really JP fans can’t stand “Pain killer” as it’s a complete departure from the kick ass heavy metal they are known for to moronic thrash metal.
