I'm not agree. The riff and the solo on on invisible Shield are weaker and the solo too. Lack of Tipton investment and the solo is nothing to compare with the best duo of Kk and Tipton. It's not Priest anymore

When I graduated BCT GNR was floating around, and was my favorite. I'm one of those GRUNTS that LOVE SLASH, and NOT THE WHINEY AXL OF THE WHEEL...

I think that those 2 live tracks on original album should not be added. Always sucks to have demos, live or unreleased tracks as some kind of "bonus". Really don't like it. Otherwise this box looks nice. Now it has affordable price so i will probably buy one for myself.

Media is a cancer to society. Social media is even worse.

Thanks for sharing your Dio band Top 20. I like many doff the cap to the debut. I would include ‘Between Two Hearts’ were Ronnie lyrically appears to be referencing toxic relationships,with Rowan Robertson’s discordant guitar figures driving the message home. Dying In America,Firehead,Hollywood Black,This Is Your Life,Evilution,Pain,Jesus Mary & The Holy Ghost,As Long As It’s Not About Love,Shivers,The Man Who Would Be King,Killing The Dragon& Along Comes A Spider.

I have the DVD and it’s a great gig. Any set list with Sign Of The Southern Cross,Tarot Woman & Gates Babylon means it’s a must buy. Doug Aldrich was great throughout. Gypsy was great and the drum solo meant that I could get the Kettle on..

Thanks for covering this. I resisted the bumf..ditto and fortunately the standalone Blu-ray,was more in my price range. The Blu-ray package had a 4K format which I couldn’t play. Great film/documentary which I saw in the Cinema on a limited screening in the U.K. The film is good as it draws in the casual fan as well. Ronnie’s pre-Wendy marriage is airbrushed out the proceedings, and Ronnie’s adopted son,Dan,should have got more camera time,perhaps as a bonus feature.

I absolutely love this album. I think the guys did a great job with it, which is amazing given how deep they are into their career.

Pete truly seems like the guy who could have a conversation with the man on the corner or tell someone F off. Just such a man who kept the Regular part of himself while walking through a extraordinary life. ❤. Wish i met him

Peter has become for me a guiding light basically for lack of a better term an angel. I love that he refers to a god as female. Peter lives in the eternal autumn l. He has been released to the earthly and cosmic elements. I feel his presence in nature. There wasn’t a more self aware soul such as Peter. His honesty is unparalleled. His art is timeless for me. RIP Petrus. The green man. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Very late but still, here´s my answer to why "Expurse..." came out only two months before "Persecution...": We all know the story of their first EP intended to be a full album and the lable aborted the recording session. Then "Obsessed..." had to be recorded twice. Now, in 1987 the band had yet another lineup and the lable was not sure about that. "Expurse..." was some kind of a "test balloon" for the company to see if and how it´ll work out. Steamhammer had to invest a lot more in the production and the marketing for the "Persecution..." album... understandable they wanted to be 100% sure. A couple of years ago I saw Sodom opening a gig by playing the whole EP in reverse order... nice, huh?

I’m suprised at the overall quality of your commentary. I found myself pausing and going back and forth between your video, and the specific parts of the songs/album as you mentioned them. Even with Heads Are Gonna Roll…your snippet about how the same guy wrote The Lodger sparked my curiosity! Would you ever incorporate very brief cutaways to those actual song parts, in future commentary like this?

3 classic EPs. 1. Flag of Hate. 2. Expurse of Sodomy, 3. Mad Butcher. Loved everything on Flag of Hate. Take their Lives and Awakening of the Gods were 2 barnburners. Expurse of Sodomy EP is very different from Obsessed By Cruelty. Persecution Mania's release two months later turned me into a Sodom fan. Destruction on the other side went in a wrong direction with their progressive style.

Still have my German Steamhammer OG of first 2 Destruction classics. Infernal Overkill tops Eternal Devastation in my opinion though.

Ranking, best to worst. 1- Crown 2- Witness 3- Escape 4- Panic 5- Fire 6- Giants 7- Devil 8- Invincible 9- Serpent 10- Gates 11- Thunder

Unfortunately I wouldn’t want to work for any British metal mags anymore. You worked there when all the great thrash bands were around. Have you seen the state of Kerrang nowadays?

Great list ❤ I’m glad to know about some tracks that I not familiar to. Thank you!

I can't get into Overkill's first 3 albums, even though they are held in high regard. They sound amateur and dated, even for their time. Look at what the Big 4 had out during those years; they were light years ahead. YoD and Horrorscope were the game changers for me!

Great channel! Keep up the good work!

My fave Dio song.

1 - Kreator, 2 -- Sodom, 3 - Destruction. I agree, the Destruction EP is a bit.... scrappy. Reject Emotions is cool but the widdly guitar thing is redumbnant and like you I never thought Mad Butcher was close to being their best. The Sodom ep was a huge shock on release because it was so much more 'professional' than 'Obsessed', all three songs are great but it still can't match the Kreator EP. Flag of Hate is good, Take their Lives is killer but Awakening of the Gods is an absolute diamond. This, Pleasure to Kill and Renewal (I know) are the peaks of the Kreator discography for me.

There has to be some reason why so many EPs are great, you could extend this to 'Mad Locust Rising' by Agent Steel, 'Warhead' by Venom and 'Haunting the Chapel' by Slayer...

I only heard THE PLASMATICS version of 'The Damned' last year, it's pretty good and there's a video for it which is quite cool too.

Nice one mate, I have it on Higher Roller rec on a coloured variant ( can't remember which one lol). Also have that cassette box set they did of all the early albums

Yes! EPs in the 80s... classic stuff - Haunting the Chapel, Expurse of Sodomy, Mad Locust Rising, etc etc... killer tracks!

Fantastic album, but Infernal Overkill shades it for me.

I think Brazil and thrash metal got together like bangers and mash.

I´ve never seen this pressing of the album, thank you for showing it! Yeah, old Brazilian records... I´m glad I still have my old Cogumelo versions of the Sepultura, Sarcofago and Mutilator records. Fun fact on the "Eternal Devastation" tour. Drummer Tommy was already out of the band and Chris Witchhunter (RIP) played that tour. The tour was called "Hell Comes To Your Town" and Rage and Kreator were part of that. In 2001 they did a "Hell Comes..." part 2 with Kreator, Sodom and Destruction...

I loved his music, and honestly this interview touches my heart. I believe he was a gentle, and kind soul.

Such a cool interview!! As a massive Slayer fan, hearing this that I've never heard is awesome!! My love for Slayer will never fade!

8:17

The guitarist he was referring to at 6:30 was Paul Tobias, I think

Never heard this. Thank you!

Invincible Shield might the Metal album of the year for me. So far at least

Great story Jason, I was a big fan of Kerrang!, and your reviews from back in the day, as we have similar musical tastes, and I was very much on the thrash/death metal spectrum, so could count on you for whether to buy an album or not, so it's fascinating knowing how you got the gig. As an aside, that Hades 'If at First you don't Succeed' album in the vid, was my 17th birthday present from 2 of my best mates at the time. Loving the channel, I might even join 🤘

I like listening to metal from time to time, but I'm no metal head. I have heard some Priest songs before, even learned some on guitar. I liked some of their songs, but I have never bought a full Priest album ... until Invincible Shield ... I love it, from start to finish.

Since I've posted my list on "Possessed by metal -VIP" at Skool I thought I might as well post it in here. Dave Mustaine Wolf Hoffman Paul Quinn Michael Schenker Jeff Waters If you haven't already, check out the Possessed by metal - VIP.

Uli Jon Roth, Micheal Romeo, Criss Oliva, Akira Takasaki, Micheal Schenker

Marty Friedman, Jeff Loomis, Andy Sneap, "Fast" Eddy Clarke and Jeff Hanneman. It's actually harder than you think to pick just 5 :/

No order. Malmsteen . Rhoads. Skolnick. Hetfield. Rocky George there was something about his solo's pure feel that spoke to me.. Schuldiner probably the best metal player in the era.

Muhammed Suiçmez, Tobi Morelli, Dean Lamb

Alexi laiho

Not in order: John Petrucci, Marty Friedman, Dimebag Darrell, Synyster Gates, Yngwie Malmsteen

Dave Mustaine >>>>>>

1. Buckethead 2. Randy Roads 3. Jeff Hanneman 4. Tony Iommi 5. Dave Mustaine

Andy LaRocque is my no 1 of all time , followed by Jeff Waters, Steve Vai, Mike Wead and Lars Johansson

I honestly think KK is a little overrated and crammed along with Glenn, when the main guy behind most of Judas Priest is really Glenn. It's to the point that it blurs the line between guitar duo and Glenn being a de facto lead guitarist and KK just making noise most of the time.
