This is on day 2 of the 1983 US Festival.....which consisted of Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions and Van Halen....there were over 300,000 people in the crowd that day! I'm happy to say that I have seen JP in concert...in person....for FREE! It was awesome, to say the least!

You were hilarious Donna. You've come across one of the biggest metal bands from Britain. This is a classic song of theirs. Rob Halford is one of the best vocalist in metal. They have been around since the 60's and have a HUGE discography. You just scratched the surface of Judas Priest.

Judas Priest, natives of Birmingham, England, was the first real heavy metal band. The term "heavy metal" had been around before 1974, when the band released their debut album, but then even the heaviest of bands (like that other Birmingham band Black Sabbath) were reluctant to use it about themselves, worried that "heavy metal" would come off as too restrictive and scaring away the big audiences. Judas Priest were the first to go the other way, proudly embrace it, saying: "Heavy metal - yes, that's us. That's exactly the sound we're going for". And they did it very successfully, only Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden rivalling them for success and historical importance during that era. The most famous Judas Priest songs are "Breaking the law" (1980) and "You've got another thing comin'" (1982), which I'm sure you'd recognize if you heard them. And for a heavy band, they have always been capable of great variationn and subtlety, having both ballads ("Before the dawn", "Beyond the realms of death") and moments of the utmost sonic brutality ("Painkiller", "Judas rising") up their sleeves. They maintain their amazing creative chops even in their old age. Their most recent album "Firepower" (2018) was an absolute and well-deserved triumph, one of the greatest successes of their long career. And their soon - as in, this March - to be released brand new album "Invincible shield" is every bit as good. Heavy metal in the truest sense of the word, and about as good as anything could possibly be.

I have been a Priest fan since 1976 at the age of 16.

Judas Priest were the first band to embrace the term 'heavy metal' for their music in the 70's and beyond... They set the standard w/ the high vocals... the twin lead guitars... and the image of wearing leather & studs on stage 🤘🤘 Initially a local rock band in Birmingham, UK... Judas Priest established themselves w/ K.K. Downing (guitar), Ian Hill (bass) and Rob Halford (vocals)... Glenn Tipton (guitar) was added to the line-up in 1974 and established a formidable guitar duo w/ K.K. Downing... Rob Halford was outstanding as a live singer for his piercing high vocals (he was eventually nicknamed the 'Metal God' after a Priest song) Priest's first 2 albums sold poorly by 1976, but a new record contract in 1977 saved Judas Priest and put them on tour in N. America for the first time... More records established Priest as a major force in heavy metal... and Rob Halford (who is gay) wanted to express himself fashionably onstage and started dressing in leather and studs... The band thought Halford looked cool and wore similar outfits onstage by 1979... In 1980, their 6th album 'British Steel' broke commercially w/ the huge singles - 'Breaking the law' ... 'Living after midnight'... By 1982, Priest became one of the biggest heavy metal bands briefly as they toured arenas across the world for their 8th album 'Screaming for vengeance'.... which bring us to the Us Festival performance in 1983.

The best band of heavy metal of all times!!!

One of my favorite songs and one of my favorite reactions. Donna is just too adorable. The grandma we all wish we had. Please more Priest and Megadeth

About 2 years ago when Judas Priest were getting some recognition from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I found the video of this entire concert on KZfaq and I was hooked!! I must have watched it once every day for a couple months. It was filmed at the 1983 US Festival in California. (In 1983 I was only 12 years old growing up in Nebraska, and had never even heard of Judas Priest!!) And who knew that Jeff Foxworthy was their drummer??🤣

Judas priest yeah metal gods my favorite metal band

OMG more Legends!!! Rob Halford who I believe is top 2 vocalists of all time. Keep up the good work. If you ever need help with any bands just ask. I'm 56 and my brother is 10 years older than me and instilled in me the love of rock music. In the 70's I was the little brother all his friends would have loved to have. Thanks a bunch, Bill

You have discovered Rob Halford, the Metal God, enjoy the journey.

The very first concert I seen in 1979 I was 14 years old

Fantastic ladies! Rob, the metal God, is still going strong, now over 70, and still awesome! Donna was hilarious, what a megastar!! 😉🤟🤟

I was at this show. Sunday, May 29, 1983. Just turned 17 the week before and had the time of my life. Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions and Van Halen closed out the night. I was one of 350,000+ metalheads rocking out in the desert of San Bernardino California. I was about 15 to 20 people from the front row on Glenn Tipton side of the stage. It was definitely the largest crowd I’ve ever been a part of, and one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Great great times and an unbelievable show. I always enjoy the fun reactions to the music I grew up with.👏👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙🤙🤘🤘🤘🤘

Donna becomes an old school metal head....love it!

I LOVE WATCHING PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS GET BLOWN AWAY BY THIS PERFORMANCE. RIDING ON THE WIND, ELECTRIC EYE, ANOTHER THING COMING ARE ALL AWESOME HERE.

Beyond the realms of death by Judas Priest should be next 🤘🏻

We just need the whole of your family headbanging to this, an amazing version of this song, by one of the greatest metal bands ever.

That was so cool,lol. To see the both of you wide eyed, smiling. It was like you both got a big blast of energy and you both were as about as awake as you've never been before, really cool. I could feel it too. I'm 60, live in San Diego and trust me when I say, the 80s were INSAAAAANE,LOL. Glad you all got a little taste of Priest. I think everyone should before they part from this world. Rock on,,,,,

Your faces were a picture when the song started. Love you, ladies.

So much greatness.

Definitely hot on the floor of those events. The firehoses are God sent when you are down there. Glad you enjoyed Judas Priest.

Saw JUDAS PRIEST perform at a smaller venue/500 person capacity building of which maybe there were 200 people there located in Maryland 1979 as a 18 year kid and have been a JUDAS PRIEST fan ever since !

The metal gods at their prime, so fucking amazing!!!!

This band is still going ofcourse they are old but they are still good. And they still play in front of huge crowds.

He is in his 70's now! Sounds better than ever! You need to listen to their new song "panic attack" it's 🔥🔥🔥 Kathy, you are so 🔥😍🥰

The big eyes the big smiles, how awesome to watch this. I had the privilege of seeing them in Houston, Texas, at the Sam Houston Coliseum in 1984. What a show. Thanks for the reaction.

What have you been under a rock Judas Priest been around since 1968 I'd be typing all day with all great songs they've done yes liked them since debut album

The greatest band to ever exist.

I was at the show! 1983 Us festival heavy metal day! I was 17 I am now 58 what a great day

They have been around for over 50 years. They are coming out with a new album next month.

Your mother gets it, the writing is exciting. AMAZING , Way far ahead than that time. METAL GODS. 😎

I've seen Priest 17 times in concert starting in Feb of 1978. They opened up for Foghat. They are always good live. I met the singer Rob Halford on the Screaming for Vengeance tour, and he's a really nice guy. He signed autos for every one of us kids out there waiting after the concert. I still have that auto.

I bought this album when it came out. Their next album was even better.

I've seen him twice in the 80s. And then once in the nineties , they were awesome every time my ears rang for days

Judas Priest did a cover of Joan Baez’s folk song, “Diamonds and Rust” and made it into a Heavy Metal song. Then some years later they did an unplugged version of it for MTV taking it back closer to its folk roots. Then they performed it live for their RISING IN THE EAST dvd scaled back similar to the unplugged version. It is amazing! It really highlights Rob Halford’s vocal talents. I’d love to see you react to it. Thanks! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o69zaq6CtarZdJc.htmlsi=RnfitmmHVZXJIsEM

I don’t think 🤔 there’s anything better than Judas Priest ?? Play some more from the same event ? Brilliant 🤩 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Unleash the Priest!!!!!

Hey grandma, the first time I heard Victim of Changes, I became a fan too.

Oh yes, US Festival 83. San Bernardino.. I was there about 69 feet from the stage. Amazing! Van Halen, Scorpions, Triumph, Ozzy Motley Crue and Quiet Riot also rocket it that day!!!

One of the songs that every youth rockschools is doin all over YT. 😈😎🇧🇻

OMG Donna 😁 Old timer legends! 🤘 Hope Lulu doing well 👍

I feel a Judas Priest marathon coming on.

If you love this song, listen to both of their entire first 2 albums.

Thank you for your thoughts Ladies!

This is top teir heavy rock and roll. I've been a fan since 1974. This song kicks well you know lol.

Judas Priest is an English heavy metal band formed in West Bromwich in 1969.West Bromwichis in the West Midlands, England. Not far from Brum aka Birmingham.

Welcome to the Priest faithful.

JP has tons of great hits 😊

There's no better band on earth, congrats on discovering them! You got some good times ahead.

To see where this band started look for judas priest at The Old Gray Whiskey. They do this song in a completely different way. Or just listen to Sad Wings Of Destiny. That is a great album from the mid 70s

US festival was awesome!!

When I played in a Priest tribute this one may have been my favorite to play! The breakdown section was so cool to play!

Lol i had to laugh so hard wen donna reacted...reminds me of the first time i heard these guys and went woww what in the hell i love it lol

I saw Judas Priest in Dortmund 1983 Westfalen Hallen Germany, with other great bands like Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, Krokus and the Michael Schenker Group. I had the time of my life

JUDAS PRIEST 70 AND JUDAS PRIEST 2024 KINGS OF METAL

Judas priest are still going after 50 years rob halford is a brilliant singer is 71 , and there's plenty more where this comes from....and there 🇬🇧 !!!!

After watching your latest reaction to Judas Priest, Electric Eye, I just had to come back and watch this one again!!! I enjoyed just as much as I did the first time... Donna's reaction is so priceless, I LMAO!!! 🤘😎🤘

This is pure heavy metal

"Aah Like um, Aah like um a laat" LOL. what a reaction!!!

OMG!!! finally my favorite band of all time, I saw them twice in concert at MSG, N.Y. with Iron maiden warming up for them they are sensational live thank you "someone " boy I wish LULU could have enjoyed this with y'all keep on rocking ladies

" Panic attack" !❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Priest rocks!

😂😂 Judas Priest 🤟🤟🇸🇪 My biggest metal love since 1978 (7yrs old).... Rob Halford the metal god🤟

Seen them twice, brilliant live. seeing you happy makes my day.

They can still play well and Halford (the lead singer) still has incredible range! I got to see them at Power Trip in October 2023 and they still sound great! They promoted their new album, too (coming soon in '24)

There Awesome sounding band if you ever seen them live.

I'm lovin' Donna's reaction. Just so perfect.

Judas Priest RULES!!!

haha Rob was so close to french kissing Glenn. XD

That was the US festival 1982 I believe. I think it was half a million attendees.

I was lucky enought to be at this show back in the summer of 1983. It was the US Festival, 3 days of bands this was the final day called Heavy Metal Sunday. 250,000 people in attendance at Glen Helen regional park San Bernardino Mtns. California. It was Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest,Triumph, Scorpions and Headlining band was Van Halen. It was an AWESOME show.

Your reactions are priceless! I am 59 years old and had the oppurtunity to see them at around this time early to mid eighties when there were in their prime. Judas Priest are considered one of if not the God Fathers of Heavy metal and my favorite bands just ahead of Iron Maiden. They have so many awesome songs but they are known for Breaking The Law, Living After Midnight, You've Got Anotheer Thing Coming , and the list goes on and on. One of my very favorites songs is Love Bites! Enjoy Judas Priest the way I did

Love u Donna!! best wishes to Lulu hope you are doing better

This appearance is from the the US festival, which ran for three days over Memorial Day weekend near San Bernadino, California in1983. Steve Wozniak, the original cofounder of Apple was one of the producers. The total attendance was reported as 670,000, which I think is for all three days, but that still must mean they are playing to at least 100,000 people. This was "Heavy Metal Day", and other bands on the bill included Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions and Van Halen...

Luv Donna's reaction!...priceless.

Ya gotta like Judas Priest!

See if you can find the early years of Judas Priest playing Johnny Be Good at the Whiskey Test on KZfaq. They put their awesome spin on this song. Definitely not what you would be expecting.

Jesus Christ Rob Halford is fucking amazing.

8:35 This is actually the band that brought that signature look to the metal. Leather and spikes is this bands legacy. Also we need to link this reaction to Rob 😏

You ladies are in for a real treat because Judas Priest have a huge catalog, my absolute favorite is any song from the Screaming for vengeance album.

We welcome two more Priest fans! I love it!

Great reaction - love all you gals!

Love this reaction, it`s honest and thank you for sharing

Ladies I was 13 and at this concert with older cousins. It was epic! And you should try "Painkiller" next.

Seems like you guys are Metalheads - fantastic reaction to this legendary British Metal band - who have a new album coming out in March, with most of them in their 70's 🤘🤘🤘

"If there's any other songs..." she said 😂. How about the first 5 albums? Can't go wrong with anything you pick from those.... Hahaha

Yes unbelievable 😍🤩 amazing band 👏 great great song wow

Judas Priest and Sabaton is coming your way in April-May.......Go Go Gooooo!!!!❤

Love me some Judas Priest. Saw them in concert back in the late 70s. They have so many bangers. Ripper is another one from the Sad Wings of Destiny album.

Forget all other live-gigs and go for Judas Priest Fuel for life-tour, live in Dallas -86! Beats everything else! "The Sentinel" and "Freewheel Burning" are awesome in that gig, you'll love it!!!😊

Hello guys We should hear a guy called Leo.He runs his own studio called Frog Leap Studios.He does covers of any kind of music and turns them into metal.Definitely should consider watching Toto’s Africa or Adele’s Hello among other great ones

Great reaction as usual . React to the same band doing free wheel burning live at Dortmund

My goodness you two made my day 😂😂😂

Rob Halford .. Thank Him for sharing his voice

For Donna's sake, you will have to dig deep into the Judas Priest mountain of music!

I recommend reacting to Judas Priest ''Hell Bent for Leather'' (Live Version)

So great band Judas Priest ❤. Your reaction Donna just 💯🤣.💋🇮🇹

that bit at 6.24 when he jumps back after that high note hold, he just knows he absolutely nailed it!

Also I hope lulu gets better

I didn't expect that reaction from Donna, that was great! lol The infamous Judas Priest... Rob Halford can hit those high notes like no other, add to that, Glen Tipton and KK Downing on Guitars, your in for an amazing show! 'Unleased In The East' is an outstanding live album! And once again, I've seen them live several times, and each time they did not disappoint!!!
