Priest is Ken. Tipton always comes across as a wanker. A totally over rated guitar player. Yes, he's got Parkies, I've had family die the same, so he doesn't get that sympathy card from me. Ken is the soul of JP.
@@patgodfrey1345 I envy you wildly! Would fancy seeing KK's Priest live, also the other artists he's inviting to play. He seems to have an excellent taste for music.
@vinskeeter I loved Sad Wings Of Destiny, Sin After Sin, and Stained Class. But British Steel did nothing fer me, sorry but to my ears it was absolutely dire. I hated BTL, just saw nothing in it. I love classic Sabbath esp Vol 4, Sabotage, etc, Purple, Zep, Floyd, Montrose debut album, Priest albums up to Stained Class, saw them live on the Stained Class tour, loved it, stuff like Beyond The Realms Of Death, all that stuff, love it to bits, but later JP and stuff like Maiden went straight over my head, just not my cup o' tea, sorry.
Hello from Italy. Im have 53 years and have know the HM thanks at Priest and the amazing music and armony into the your song's. I still listen of course this...particolar san Bernardino live 83...no word for this live!! Killing live festival. Tnx again for give me this energy. Ciao Luca
While Sabbath started it, Priest were the ones that brought metal out of the blues based style and gave it that faster, metallic edge that set the standard for every other band to follow. Maiden may be more popular, and Metallica has sold the most but I guarantee that if you poll any professional musician and ask them to define the ultimate metal band, 99% will say Judas Priest set the standard and truly represent what true Heavy Metal is.....PERIOD
The truth is that Priest are the ultimate Metal band of all time, period. There has never been nor will there ever be a band quite like them. As they say in the classics, they are THEE METAL GODS!
So true. I've been searching and listening to all these classic heavy metal bands that are simmilar to Judas Priest you know Accept, Saxon, Malice, Stormwitch, etc... and dont get me wrong all of these bands are absolutley amazing but no one is like Priest. My absolute favorite band of all time period.
I would say Judas, Saxon and Maiden are the big 3 of NWOBHM. Accept and Stormwitch (both German) IMHO are boring. By the way my Cousin played drums for Stormwitch 2014/15...
@@martinkasper197 Accept and Stormwitch boring? Right whatever if thats your opinion thats fine but to me they are both amazing, i would say modern Maiden is boring. Oh and Priest was not the part of NWOBHM, Motörhead as well so i would say Saxon, Angel Witch and Maiden of that time are the big 3 of NWOBHM...
In this interview you can see that KK was looked down on. I`m surprised they even let him speak. I don`t miss the current JP at all. KK`s killing it along with Ripper.
Agreed. He looks extremely uncomfortable. I don't care for KK's Priest, but watching this makes me happy that he was able to move on from a failed business venture to create more metal. Hopefully his leaving the band will give people two awesome bands like when Dave was kicked out of Metallica for his issues.
I just finished KK's Book. Great read and different perspective for sure from what i seen in 80's. They were such a enjoyable part of my life back then. Victim of change is still one of my favorites. Thanks Priest for your hard work and dedication.
1978 possibly 1979 International Amphitheater Southside of Chicago.... Opening Act for Kiss...... Blew Me Away.... 45 yrs Later One of My favorite Band...Saw Rush Moving Pictures Tour As Well....
Agreed. Fron what I've read, the band didn't want another guitarist. And, unfortunately, Glenn took creative control of the band through his relationship with management. I wish KK could have done more creative work like in Winter/Deep Freeze/Winter Retreat and Sinner.
It's just kk and Glenn really...there both lead and rhythm players...one guys wants the spotlight...think Glenn and kk both got big egos but I guess to get to where they did u kinda almost gotta
IMO Kenneth Downing was the main attraction in this bands live proformances and over all visual Image of Judus Priest .First image that comes to mind when i think of Priest is Kk with his long blonde hair decked out in leather and chrome stage gear playing his iconic and trademark Gibson Flying V
I didn't garner anything but love and respect across the board here for each member. There was nothing but fondness for each other and genuine sincerity. Oh... and KK's Priest are awesome! Just a side note!
Yes, but JP totally revamped/condensed the song as to make it completely unrecognizable to the original (which was completely different - bluesy psychedelia).@@latentsea
👍👍 Actually I prefer the JP version (especially the 1979 live version) - much more energetic and heavy. The Fleetwood Mac original version (~1970) is a pure Blues/Psychedelic trip. Very moody, doomy and kinda slow moving with the same instantly recognizable riff/verse and very interesting, too. But the FM version sort of meanders/improvises whereas the JP version sticks to the main verse throughout. RIP Peter Green. @@latentsea
@@neonspec I think I first read that in Guitar Magazine around 1990. They noted the album's absence of blues / classic rock influences. It's pure metal.
Got into Priest in 79 when I saw unleashed in the east and bought it,saw them open for kiss ,British was a very exciting and big album for metal when it came out and is still part of metal history!
Ha! Me too. Judas Priest opening for KISS. September 7th, 1979. At The Spectrum, Philadelphia. Both were awesome, with Priest on the come up, not much money, but their finest material to perform! Great double bill. Unleashed in The East, indeed! Then came British Steel, with it's powerful, unified breakthrough. And it's best songs: Rapid Fire Steeler Metal Gods Grinder The Rage Breaking The Law You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise *On a personal note, I had just bought my first "real guitar" in '79.... a Black Stratocaster with a lacquered maple neck. Exactly like Tipton's in much of these live clips. Cut my teeth on that guitar and became very good in short time. So seeing it here also adds an extra bit of nostalgia.
🎸🙋♀️Thx for posting! Love hearing my fav band of all time.. sharing childhood stories & how they created some of my fav songs. Judas Priest changed my life from 1st time I heard them on a friend’s cassette player. I said fanatically “I LOVE THAT! WHO IS THAT?” He said JUDAS PRIEST! I cancelled my solo gigs, packed my van & moved from my small PA town to cities where I could find other musicians who played this music! I earned a recording contract in Hollywood with people you know but gave it up to take care of Grandma. Now jamming with local musicians & back to solo gigs in PA. Haha Miss the 80s early 90s! God Bless!
What about Dave Holland? He improved Judas Priest and changed their sound. Dave Holland’s intense tension on the drums made “Point of Entry “ , British Steel and “Screaming Vengeance”..!
The original band was awesome, but really feel very comfortable with the new band, Richard Faulkner is extremely talented, my favorite band since elementary school.
I wanted to say something to everybody here, but that’s not possible at this point all you seem like such a wonderful open minded, smart people. I hope I can win. I love Rob it’s been my favorite performer since I was as long as I can remember actually, I appreciate all of you.
brilliant upload I am currently trying to recreate the British Steel album sounds on guitar so I can record my own Priest covers \m/ so watching this while breaking out the Marshall Amp, MXR distortion pedals and a 10 band EQ :)
@@dmitryowens I also have been experimenting to recreate Point of Entry and British Steel sounds on tones for all instruments. So far, for guitar I am using a tube screamer, vintage 30’s and a 70’s Marshall. (Besides using my SG’s), surprisingly my evh Wolfgang sounds very close. I will dig up my old mxr gear as you suggested. Thank you. Tama drums with remo control sound or pin stripe drum heads. P bass, pick and solid state amp, (he used peavy I believe). Can’t duplicate Rob Howford. He’s amazing and one of a kind..!
I watched another documentary about the British Steel album. In it, Ken and Glenn also talk about them being the first rock band have two lead guitarists. Possibly, but The Outlaws and Lynyrd Skynyrd did it previously with three!
Yeah, I remember buying British Steel from Woolworths when I was a kid. Playing Breaking The Law in school and even our teacher was nodding his head to the beat 😂
Their best album. Sure, they have made albums that are faster and heavier and more progressive and serious, but really makes British Steel their masterpiece imo is that factor of FUN. The songs on BS often get criticized as being too commercial or simple or accessible, but that’s exactly what the band wanted to be from the very beginning, even admitting so themselves. Everything from Rocka Rolla up the Killing Machine was them working out the kinks and truly finding that perfect combination of heavy metal and accessibility while still absolutely being metal and they did..they really did..this album brought heavy metal to the mainstream masses, and with that, they accomplished their first real dream or goal as a band. Once that was finishing, they set out for new music and band goals as Judas Priest and made other truly excellent records! But, there’s just a spontaneity to British Steel in 1980 that no other album of theirs has, and while some may be sick of songs like Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight and may not see them as very metal today, for 1980 they were metal. Amazing album and perfect to me. No wonder it’s the favorite JP album of the band themselves! Long live the Priest, cheers! 🍻
Iron Maiden was released the same week as British Steel. 1980 was a great time for heavy music. Ace of Spades and Heaven and Hell were released in 1980 too
@NeilHawkins-f1l yeah I went to Sabbath/ Alice Cooper outdoor show on that Heaven and Hell tour. Maiden wasn't on my radar yet, I should have said, apparently. Though I did wear out British Steel, I loved the older records all much more. Cheers
One of the top 20 necessary albums I would have on a deserted island. The rest would be in no certain order such as; Judas Priest-British Steel. Black Sabbath- Paranoid. Rainbow-Rising. Black Sabbath- Heaven n Hell. Judas Priest- Nostradamus( Fuckin Masterpiece! ) AC/DC- High Voltage. Def Leppard-High N Dry. Iron Maiden-7th Son. Megadeth-Peace Sells. Metallica-Master of Puppets. Queensrchye-Rage For Order. Sanctuary-The Mirror Black. DIO-Holy Diver. DIO-Last in Line. Metal Church-Metal Church. Iron Maiden-Brave New World. Megadeth-Rust in Peace. Metallica-And Justice For All. AC/DC-Back in Black. Queensryche-Operation Mindcrime.
Dave Holland was the ONLY drummer that did these songs justice! He was like Ian, in that they were the deep concrete foundations, that the heaviest metal band stood upon! This five, is PRIEST!
Of course the drummer isn’t involved in the interview lol. I keep waiting for the drummer to explode. JP drummer? That should be a investigative search.
Without KK, and considering how Glenn is struggling with Parkinson...there is no Judas Priest. I enjoy the actual lineup but it's a fragment of what used to be.
Leave Scott Travis out of this video. He was a wet dream when this was recorded. Dave Holland was THE drummer for most of the mega albums. Now, I’m not taking away from Scott, who has been with the band way longer that Dave, but for this album, it was all Dave Holland. RIP.
I liked British steel alot but to Me it started them on the path to a more commercial sound for the masses it worked they sold more records the scorpions did the same thing after uli left sold more records.more commercial commercial. I liked rocka Rolla sad wings sin after sin stained class killing machine just better material material in my opinion
So true. Although it's a good album, it doesn't compare to sad wings, stained class, or killing machine. Those 3 albums are totally incredible and unbeatable. Plus for me, Les Binks was the best drummer priest ever had
To get a producer out there instead of bringing K. K bk out there is probably the biggest huh? I can remember in the band. I saw there Screaming tour bk in the day.. They blended like no two guitarists I have ever heard.
The metal God's speak with class, as gentleman's. Their music...top notch. Today's scenery? Predominantly is the oposite: poor music and lack of class.
What A great album British Steel Classic Record from Judas priest
Best Heavy Metal duo. KK, we miss you.
Without KK ,to me there is no Priest... R.i.p. Dave Holland.
Exactly !

Of the bunch he is my hero! The cameras and spotlight always seemed to center on Glenn who is great but it always undermined what KK was doing.

Leave Scott Travis out of this video. He was a wet dream when this was recorded. Dave Holland was THE drummer for most of the mega albums. Now, I’m not taking away from Scott, who has been with the band way longer that Dave, but for this album, it was all Dave Holland. RIP.
Shame that Dave Holland wasn't here for this.
What about Dave ..?
I liked British steel alot but to Me it started them on the path to a more commercial sound for the masses it worked they sold more records the scorpions did the same thing after uli left sold more records.more commercial commercial. I liked rocka Rolla sad wings sin after sin stained class killing machine just better material material in my opinion
So true. Although it's a good album, it doesn't compare to sad wings, stained class, or killing machine. Those 3 albums are totally incredible and unbeatable. Plus for me, Les Binks was the best drummer priest ever had
True perhaps but it was always their destiny to evolve into the the metal gods. While I enjoy those early albums British Steel is metal greatness.
For sure but time moves on and their path was great including commercial point of entry. Then it was over for me.
To get a producer out there instead of bringing K. K bk out there is probably the biggest huh? I can remember in the band. I saw there Screaming tour bk in the day.. They blended like no two guitarists I have ever heard.
Like perfect mix in stereo, the imaginary middle...
Can anyone tell me which DVD / Blu Ray the live performances of these songs are from? Thanks in advance.

@@Angelica_Music thank you!
Typical priest platitudes. The rare moments when they dispense with the generalizations and actually discuss the process are much appreciated.
The metal God's speak with class, as gentleman's. Their music...top notch. Today's scenery? Predominantly is the oposite: poor music and lack of class.
🎸🙋♀️Exactly!
Mid 70's Penthouse review of Sin After Sin.......it only got better.............
All 4 guys here seemed to have a good vibe back in 2010. Although I did notice Glenn not laughing at KK's jokes, lol. What really happened, KK ?

Died,.. but was in ail for pedophilia~
Almighty Judas priest,, when you safe,, that's when l rise
