I was there as well. Early 80's Metallica was a mid act. Early 80's Judas Priest, Ozzy, and Iron Maiden were the kings of Metal. No one called them rock in comparison to other metal acts. Hell, all the way through And Justice For All, many considered them to be second string competition to Slayer.
Priest was there when heavy metal was invented, so they are less bound by the conventions of the genre. They are not trying to meet a standard set by someone else; they are the ones setting the standard. Basically, they do what they want.
True to a certain extent but they didn't get far with the cookie monster vocals with Bush, they went back to the first man to come out of the closet who was/is marketable & a better vocalist & frontman
I'm 54 /55 years old now and I learned to play every Screaming for Vengeance song , I got my first guitar and amp at 13 , I had a 100 watt Sears Silvertone 1484 I bought it for $10.00 at a yard sale and a home made 4x12 Celestion vintage 30's loaded cabinet a Boss DS-1 and an Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer I waz young and kinda proud and on top as long as the music was loud . . and a Charvel Fusion deluxe that I put a Dimarzio Super distortion pickup in . Yeah I blew the doors off in the 1980s . I still play Metal today , it's in my DNA . IT's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll .
Judas Priest has quite the variety of songs that are either Hard Rock, Metal or Ballads and flow seamlessly between them, especially in the 70s & 80s with the original band. For some hybrid goodness, try the Metal Gods, Desert Plains and the live cover of Joan Baez' great Diamonds and Rust. 3 very different but classic Priest songs that will blow your minds! Enjoy. 🎸
You really should have started your Judas Priest journey in the 70’s then 80’s, 90’s, 2000, 2010 up to present to understand their evolution as a band. Each era brought something new to the table. One of the best live bands I have ever seen.
This is their "Enter Sandman" or "Smoke On The Water". Big radio hit that is easy to digest. The next one in this vein would be "Heading Out To The Highway". I'd suggest it for Brad since he likes to keep it simple. For Lex, I'd recommend "Screaming For Vengeance". If you do "Diamonds And Rust", do the live version with Tim 'Ripper' Owens on vocals, from the 1997 "Live Meltdown" album.
...I think Ripper is touring with KK Downing...I have a live version of Diamonds and Rust from79 with Halford singing, its a great version, I have not heard the Ripper version, I will check it out
@@raymo6795 It's very hard for me to admit that I like a few songs with Ripper on vocals than Halford, but the arrangement on Diamonds is so much better in later years, and Ripper really hits the high notes well.
This is early era metal. Priest was one of the frontrunners of the metal genre. They are one of my all time favorite bands, and have been since the early 80s.
@@davidteller7681 Great suggestion though! And actually they didn't do The Hellion intro if I remember correctly. Love that Priest is climbing up Lex's "metal ladder"! 🤘🤘
I first heard this band in 1980, and liked "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight" from their album "British Steel". The song you're listening to is from their 1982 album "Screaming For Vengeance". While not a huge fan I do have the three songs mentioned recorded on my Brennan B2. Enjoy.
Being a teen in the 80’s and never getting carded for alcohol , hanging at the park with everyone sitting on tailgates and walking around mingling jamming to absolutely the best decade of music ever created . Memory Lane ! Y’all would have loved it . ✌🏼❤️
Finally someone who point out one of the really buttkicking songs, im so sick of living after midnight, united, breakibg the law etc.. least half of thier songs hits or tickeling the absolute topsong mark. Keep delivering / Your ex-deliveryguy
@@neillenet291 my two favorite albums from them and also said wings of destiny from 1976, in my opinion stained class and he'll bent for leather are too perfect back-to-back albums, rock on brother.
In the 80's this WAS very metal ! Metal changed with the times and got more and more extreme and a lot of times that change was not for the best. This is what traditional heavy metal sounds like.
This song, done in their Japan concert, ROCKS! It surprised me that the band got the Japanese crowd to sing with them. They were all standing on their feet.
When Judas Priest scored a gold record in 1980 w/ their 6th album 'British Steel', the band showed how diverse heavy metal music could get- from shredding fast tunes to anthemic beats and bangers. Their 7th album 'Point of entry' took a step in a commercial direction... trying to incorporate elements of pop songs into heavy metal grooves. Unfortunately, Priest trying to broaden the appeal of heavy metal lost them fans and record sales w/ that record... So, they returned to what they were good at... shredding British heavy metal w/ this 8th album 'Screaming for vengeance' in 1982. "You've got another thing coming" became a huge single that year and the album went platinum (1 million copies sold) in the US (2x platinum now), their biggest-selling record to date... Judas Priest were a big attraction on tour and also triumphed in a set at the Us Festival 1983 in California.
I was a kid during the '80s and this was metal or hard rock. At least that's what we called it 😆. That was nearly 4 decades ago. Yall have to remember, this was the early '80s. Somewhat early metal. But, definitely sounds like Judas Priest.
I went to OzzFest about 20 years ago and these guys performed. Rob drove a Harley on stage that was completely chromed out. It was a thing of beauty. They were outstanding and we had a blast. Judas Priest now, Judas Priest forever!
Man, this takes me back. Back in the days I owned every Priest album out there and listened to them endlessly. Good choice. Lex's smile when she is rocking out is always so nice to see. It is so different than the way we consumed metal in my crowd back in the day. We were always so serious. It's cool to see someone else enjoy it differently.
The ultimate YOLO song, "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is one of Judas Priests most popular tracks. "Just this attitude that we've always had in Priest. And I dare say, we've always had in our personal way of dealing with issues that are sent to challenge us. One life, I'm going to live it up... If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by, you're thinking like a fool All this kind of stuff... You've Got Another Thing Coming. It's also wrapped up in the heavy metal community culture of the way we support each other with our metal. It's very much a song of hope and rising above the issues or difficulties that come your way. It's a song of resilience, as well."
Out in the cold, Screaming for Vengeance, Love bites and many many more….at one time Priest was metal, I still always see them when in town and they never disappoint.
Black Sabbath is credited for creating the 'Heavy Metal' sound but Judas Priest, Rob Halford made it a fashion statement with the Leather and Studs look. It totally depicted the Cafe Racer motorcycle look with a touch of bondage wear. I will always wear black leather because of these Metal Gods!!!
I am so happy that you kids are making a Positive effort to bridge, and hopefully help put an end to our racial and cultural differences. I am 58 years old, white and love music of ALL kinds, including what is traditionally considered 'Black" music. Music is our common bond and we can love each other because of it! God Bless You!!!
Professor of rock channel has a couple Judas priest videos and will give you the reason this song was huge , it was on repeat on MTV , There was no Internet ,kids would watch music videos for hours , there were barely any gaming consoles, I blasted this through my boombox walking around the neighborhood
This is Heavy Metal. 🤘 I was in HS when their album Screaming for Vengeance came out. It contains this track (YGATC) and several more killer songs. My favorite Priest album. 💪👍
One of Judas Priest's popular songs of the 80's. Oh the 80's, the golden age of metal. Also check out Dreamer/Deceiver Tyrant, Genocide, Sinner, Diamonds and Rust, Exciter, Hell Bent for Leather, Take on the World, Running Wild, Grinder, United, Living After Midnight, The Green Manalishi, You Don't Have to Old to be Wise, Heading Out to the Highway, Riding on the Wind, Bloodstone, Devil's Child, Screaming For Vengeance, Jawbreaker, The Sentinel, Love Bites, and Locked In. Brad and Lex have already done - Painkiller, Electric Eye, The Ripper, Victim of Changes, Breaking the Law, Freewheel Burning, Desert Plains, and Beyond the Realm of Death
1982. I was 10. Parents had pretty much controlled the music I had been exposed to up to around then, but the summer before, this little thing called Mtv drops. Within a year, this album Screaming for Vengeance, Def Leppard’s High ‘n Dry, Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, all had videos on heavy rotation. This was one of the breakout songs for heavy metal because of that platform. Radio was too genre driven - you were locked into rock or top 40 or whatever depending on what station, but Mtv mixed it up in the early days and you could have a kid like me that had this album next to Rio by DuranDuran and some Depeche Mode next to my Dio and Black Sabbath. Combat Rock by the Clash, Blackout by the Scorpions, MJ’s Thriller, Van Halen’s Diver Down...
Big Brad speaking truth about music being relative. Man you hit the spot with that comment. However, some music is timeless and einsteins theory dont mean shit, lol. Some music just ROCKS!!!
I didnt even realize they made this song until I bought my first Judas Priest album Screaming for Vengeance in the late 90s. I was pleasantly surprised by the entire album. Breaking the Law played on many a rock station as well.
When you say their not so metal you have to remember this is 70’s and very early 80’s and this was really heavy for that time period. Rob Halford us known as having one the best metal voices of all time
This was one of the first Metal songs on MTV's regular rotation that helped bring metal mainstream . They had a streak of putting out albums annually for about a decade so there was a variety. The early fans thought they sold out when they released British Steel because it wasn't as progressive as before because Breaking the Law and others were too simple but Rob Halford said they had to eat . They made way more fans than they lost and the next album Point of Entry is basically Rock and Roll , then came this Screaming for Vengeance . Versatile and creative genius band that paid the tracks for many years.
This was back in my high school days, and I lived buy these lyrics. When I was a kid i thought this was about fighting but as an old fart, I realize it was about the band saying we are taking this buy the storm and rocking it.
These guys are legendary. They're songs, of which there are many, run the gamut. All are are true to the hard rock/metal ethos. There wouldn't be a lot of metal bands without Judas Priest.
My ALL TIME FAVORITE!! Judas Priest is amazing! Rob’s voice is tops! Lex is liking it for sure! 🙌🏼🤘🏼 You go girl !!! 🤘🏼If you love JP now as your Top three, they will always stay there! 🥰
This is the JP, I grew up on in the 80s. Living After Midnight, Breaking the Law and Heading Out to the Highway are some of the best vibes back in the day.
I seen Judas Priest in concert in Fresno, California at the Selland Arena... Rob road his Harley on stage, what an entrance!! Badass mean 🎶🎶🎶. Dropped a hit of Acid, and was definitely blown away!! Great band!!!
Priest continued to evolve and explore their sound over the years. This one is a benchmark 80s Anthem from them, built for cranking in the car. Some examples from the 'storytelling' side of their catalog, "The Ripper" is from the 70s, and "The Sentinel" from the 80s. There's more, but those are 2 good starts. For more of the range of different styles, from the 70s to 2018, try "Here Come The Tears," "The Rage," "Private Property," and "Guardians/Rising From Ruins." Great Channel!
I know you mostly do lyric videos but if you get a chance, check out their live performance of "Diamonds and Rust". A great vocal performance by Halford in that one. Keep rockin'! 🤘
This was VERY metal in the early eighties.
Yes! And the video was so Metal! 🎯
Metal and very accessible. Huge hit.
I'm a Priest fan and this rocked, early 80s. I was there, I was a mullet wearing metal head. Metallica was very early 80s that was metal.🤘🏻
I was there as well. Early 80's Metallica was a mid act. Early 80's Judas Priest, Ozzy, and Iron Maiden were the kings of Metal. No one called them rock in comparison to other metal acts. Hell, all the way through And Justice For All, many considered them to be second string competition to Slayer.
Gotta watch the original vid! It was metal to the core! It may have seemed that they moved mainstream but actually the times changed.
Priest was there when heavy metal was invented, so they are less bound by the conventions of the genre. They are not trying to meet a standard set by someone else; they are the ones setting the standard. Basically, they do what they want.
Debatable they where around in 1969? When black sabbath created metal?
True to a certain extent but they didn't get far with the cookie monster vocals with Bush, they went back to the first man to come out of the closet who was/is marketable & a better vocalist & frontman
My parents probably knew the words I cranked it so much! Whole album is awesome... every song.
😎
My parents bought me headphones 😵💫
This entire album is a banger, as well as Defenders of the Faith...
Mike... We are the Defenders of the Faith 🤟
Defenders is my favorite Judas Priest album. A perfect blend of their hard rock and heavy metal styles.

Don't forget Pop Rock.
("Parental Guidance")
They already reacted to desert plains,, 👍🙂
You forgot to mention the Fleetwood Mac cover of Green Manalishi (spelling?)
It's a very important point you made that they trade off between hard rock and metal. Their hard rock stuff is what draws my attention. 🔥
th-cam.com/video/XFmHEVtUh5k/w-d-xo.html
One of the best albums from the 80s priest era. Rob Halford is excellent, great guitars too! The whole band is kicking. The entire album is awesome.
One of their biggest radio hits. "Living after midnight" is another big radio hit.
One of my favorite Judas Priest songs from the 80s! Happy you got to react to it!

When lex said this isn't metal I spit my beer out
Judas Priest bridged the gap between late 60’s/70’s Heavy Metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that began in the late 70’s/early 80’s.
This is early era metal. Priest was one of the frontrunners of the metal genre. They are one of my all time favorite bands, and have been since the early 80s.
I used to piss my mom off by having Judas Priest Parental Guidance ready to crank up at her when she was fusing. LOL
Turbo lover, radio friendly, still heavy and all Judas Priest.
"The Hellion/Electric Eye" is a must listen! Kicks ass
Pretty sure they did that already.
@@brettkenschaft4239 you are correct, D'oh!

Loud proud, clean razor sharp guitars and amazing vocals, Priest ruled the hard rock 80s.
"Livin' After Midnight" is Judas Priest's other huge hit. Just as catchy as this one.
Oh wow, I thought they did that one. They're in for a surprise when they hear this one...
This was a huge crossover hit for Priest. It got tons of radio play at the time on mainstream rock stations and that was uncommon for them.

I just LOVE watching Lex do her Metal “Bop” and facial expressions during a bad-ass song, lol.
The definition of “metal” is pretty varied. Depends on the decade. This is metal for it’s time.
Being a teen in the 80’s and never getting carded for alcohol , hanging at the park with everyone sitting on tailgates and walking around mingling jamming to absolutely the best decade of music ever created . Memory Lane ! Y’all would have loved it . ✌🏼❤️
Yesssss their concert for the Album Turbo Lover was the best concert I have ever been to. And I seen Pink Floyd which comes in a close second!
reminds me of early 80's so much. 92.3 ksjo/98.5 kome/97.3 KRQR (the rocker) in the bay area. miss those days.
The quintessential old school metal anthem of the 1980s.
Remember watching them perform this live on The Tube about 1983, blew us away 🎸
One of my all-time favorite bands...
The Electric Prunes "I Had Too Much To Dream"
(Last Night)..A Classic From The Height Of The Psychedelic Era In Music.
Best pause yet. ⏸ Brad's building and residing on the top shelf.
I think a song you guys would really love from Judas Priest is "delivering the goods." Just a kick-ass melodic metal song.

Versatile and creative genius band that paid the tracks for many years.
One of my favorite songs from high school days! This is a great song to play when driving fast.
Painkiller is an anomaly. Another Think Coming is from early middle period album British Steel, more radio friendly but still heavy.
This was back in my high school days, and I lived buy these lyrics. When I was a kid i thought this was about fighting but as an old fart, I realize it was about the band saying we are taking this buy the storm and rocking it.
FM radios in the early 80s used to play this tune like water alongside Bloodstone,another one from the same album Screamin´for Vengeance
When I was a kid in the eighties, I never heard a band this hard, we loved them.
I absolutely LOVE HER REACTION

Ultra-classic Heavy Metal...to see somebody totally enjoy heavy music soothes the soul.
Massive hit here in Toronto. It was borderline too heavy to play on the FM radio stations here, but the greatness of this song won out big time.
I seen Judas Priest in concert in Fresno, California at the Selland Arena... Rob road his Harley on stage, what an entrance!! Badass mean 🎶🎶🎶. Dropped a hit of Acid, and was definitely blown away!! Great band!!!
Priest continued to evolve and explore their sound over the years. This one is a benchmark 80s Anthem from them, built for cranking in the car. Some examples from the 'storytelling' side of their catalog, "The Ripper" is from the 70s, and "The Sentinel" from the 80s. There's more, but those are 2 good starts. For more of the range of different styles, from the 70s to 2018, try "Here Come The Tears," "The Rage," "Private Property," and "Guardians/Rising From Ruins."
Great Channel!
Pretty sure they did The Ripper already.
Saw them on the Screaming For Vengeance tour. F'kin amazing! My neck was so sore the next day from all the headbanging. 🤘
I know you mostly do lyric videos but if you get a chance, check out their live performance of "Diamonds and Rust". A great vocal performance by Halford in that one. Keep rockin'! 🤘
That's a great song, someone did that song before Judas priest , but priest did it justice.
@@chriswildhaber35 Yep, Joan Baez.
@@itslikewhatever Same with Fleetwood Mac's "The Green Manalishi".
Haven’t even watched and all I can say is, “YESSSSSS!!! Stone cold metal classic!!!” You are gonna love this one!!!🤘🏻🤘🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿
