This was the first band I'd heard play drums and sing like this. Add the guitar - I was hooked. My favorite band ever!! I was 15 then, Now I am 58 and they are still my # 1. I have the vinyl to this day and it's in great condition too!
Seek him here, seek him on the highway Never knowing when he'll appear All await, engine's ticking over Hear the roar as they sense the fear Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light! Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes! Hell bent for leather Black as night, faster than a shadow Crimson flare from a raging sun An exhibition, of sheer precision Yet no one knows from where he comes Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground There's many who tried to prove that they're faster But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Total waste to get rid of him. They would have put out a lot more quality albums without Dave Holland. The guy had the skill of a 10 year old in his parents garage.
One of Priests' best all-time anthems & perennial encore song. What other bands can pack this much punch in under 3 minutes? Not many. Also, which bands were kicking this much ass in the 1970s? Again, not many...JP pretty much ruled the roost back in the day
@@BigSteve9713 not sure what the Offspring have to do with this Priest track...did I miss something here? I'm a fan of Offspring as well but don't understand the context of the comparison to JP here. Care to elaborate?
It was this Album and the Take on the World appearance on Top of the Pops that got my uncle into Judas Priest way back in 1978-79, he also liked AC/DC with Bon Scott but gave up with them after the death of Bon Scott, this music has been with me for 45 years, i was a regular visitor at my gran and Grandads where here lived, he took me to my 1st Judas Priest live concert in 1991,im now aged 51, still blast Priest music on a regular basis, thanks to my mums brother. 🤘Cheers Reggie.
Loved "Running Wild" too. When they toured this album and came to Seattle, they were the opening band ahead of UFO. We were in the Mezzanine at the famous Paramount Theater and we had to get up and walk out on UFO because of the obvious. W O W! What a show! My record store in Olympia WA let me know about up and coming "Unleashed in The East" and I felt bad about hounding him over when will it be coming in. I was obsessed and already playing the hell out of Victim of Changes I have always been a huge fan. Resurrection came at a great time and I really related to it. I'm 62 and that's probably why.
Geez, Tipton's got so many killer, memorable solos, it's impossible to keep track of (but more durin' the 70's-80's, after that his solos were more of a chore to listen to and they all sounded the same), but yeah I don't think there's a high energy Tipton solo that electrifies me the way this solo does.
I started listening to Judas Priest when I was 12 I’m now 46. My neighbourhood friends were like 14 and they introduced me to it among other great bands. 👍🏻
Such foreboding and menacing lyrics and imagery 😮😮😮. Literally, a spectral demon of Vengeance riding a chrome monster 😮😮😮, and taking his victims to the underworld 😮😮😮 ! ! !
Same here, Unleashed is still one of the greatest live albums of the 70's, I definitely prefer British Steel to SFV, but it's still got some blisterin' tracks on it.
I love Before the Dawn, it's the only Priest ballad that isn't sappy, pretentious, overwrought and overbearingly melancholic (it is a little melancholic, but it's more restrained and has more of a genuine, emotional impact that isn't contrived), that and it has one of the best K.K. solos on it.
Hey looka we all have a fav from the album mate. Rock On mate same age bar 2y younger but a bit nutty when I hear Metal esp.. Priest all time fav band tattoed on my arm, for all to see and know what I'm into musically. Proud and Loud no B/S allowed in my house, just good tunes + times mate. All the best to you and your family looka and Keep Rockin looka.. Dave
When Rob enters the stage revving the motorcycle.
It's the true meaning of Metal.
Or the true meaning of gay:)

1984 Duluth mn, they came out busting through the speakers with their 5th oncore playing this song…I was 5 feet from the stage. Epic

I just made a Piano arrangement of “Before the Dawn” let me know what you think!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
If the vinyl is still good, then you haven't played it enough.
@Dill Clinton Still!
The same for me. I was 14 on 1980 and still here defending the faith
@@JB-pu6ek Very True!
50 years old!. And I have to pay TRIBUTE to the SONG and THE BAND that paved my metal way! JUDAS PRIEST! Nothing but love and respect!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
53 here dude. Absofkinlutely 🤘🏼👍🏼💪🏼
Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

Les Binks is an amazing drummer. Wish Priest had him record more albums with him.
I love Les Binks' drumming a lot but I also love the Priest albums which they did with Dave Holland and Scott Travis.
@@arvindshastry1178 I miss Dave Holland :(. R. I. P.
Dave was a great drummer
So true! Fantastic drummer

So true!
I fully agree but The Offspring aren't terrible, not comparing as they are different genres of Rock, but I haven't heard a bad song from either
@@BigSteve9713 not sure what the Offspring have to do with this Priest track...did I miss something here? I'm a fan of Offspring as well but don't understand the context of the comparison to JP here. Care to elaborate?

Saw them (with my DAD) Jan. 8th 1983 Fayetteville NC British Steel tour Hevan opened for them.. Changed my life FOREVER. I was 14
I’m 55 years old and I’m still Hell Bent for Leather!!!
Our generation was born for it!
@@j.robertsergertson4513 you're right obviously. I'm glad it was us.
Amen bro 59 and still rippin!!!
55 here too.We were the greatest metal era ever.It was so alive and peaking with momentum.
54 here i am !!!!
One of the very best metal bangers of all time!
Absolutely true 🤘🏻👩🏻🎤🎸
Hell bent, hell bent forever is now always stuck in my head😂
Fuck ya! Just what I needed! Crappy day at work, then this pops up. Puts a smile on my goofy face and horns up.
My thoughts exactly brother!! !

The solo in this song is a hidden gem of Tipton

True metal
My mum just shown me Judas Priests music because she listened to him as a kid and I love his songs
When I was a kid in the 90's my parents gave me a bunch of their old tapes. That's how I got into Priest.
Another classic from the past that I will always love. Judas Priest !!
Judas Priest rules!
Rockin' tone for '78 🤟
As shit as times may be, Priest is always badass 🤘
CHRIST FEARING MEN WATCH!!!! th-cam.com/video/gL3zikTnGzw/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
Rather than post a copy of you, I'll just say, I couldn't have said it any better so thank you for saying it the way you did priest forever indeed!
It brings me back to myself.
It makes me feel better!
Love to hear this song with my leather jacket and boots when I'm driving.
Love to hear this in my footy pajamas eating strawberry swirl ice cream
Car's gotta have at least 300hp too.Autobahn in a 68' black Dodge Charger 4 speed 440V8,and a 1000w system playing JP.I wished of course😊
I started listening to Judas Priest when I was 12 I’m now 46. My neighbourhood friends were like 14 and they introduced me to it among other great bands. 👍🏻
You had/have great friends!
Best song of the world !
Judas Priest..... GOLDEN METAL GODS!!!!🤟🤟🤟
There is only one God and His name is Jehovah and Jesus Christ is His Son. And Rob Halford Rocks

Si estas escuchando esto en este momento es por que el Rock aun vive
I've seen Judas Priest twice and they get better Everytime I see them!
Judas Priest 4ever
One of the best songs🤘
I love this song
An absolute MASTERPIECE by Judas Priest
Love the solo on this tune 🤘🤘🤘
One of their most badass songs.
Such foreboding and menacing lyrics and imagery 😮😮😮.
Literally, a spectral demon of Vengeance riding a chrome monster 😮😮😮, and taking his victims to the underworld 😮😮😮 ! ! !
Gold classic metal yeah 👌💀🎸
Great fast tempo. It drives you. Favorite judas priest album.
Rocktober 24, 2024. Still an awesome tune all these years later
One of the best albums ever. Solid all the way through. Favorite JP album. "Unleashed In The East" and "Screaming For Vengeance" running second.
Same here, Unleashed is still one of the greatest live albums of the 70's, I definitely prefer British Steel to SFV, but it's still got some blisterin' tracks on it.
Great Albums but " Rocka Rolla" " Sad Wings of Destiny " & " Stained Class " are The Best 3 Albums of Judas Priest!!!!!
I prefer Stained Class, but Hell Bent For Leather has a few great songs, too!
Just a really fun song. Love how Rob growls the hook!
Oh the memories from this band
If they invent the time machine there will be the 1980’s era with be completely booked from here to a month of Sundays!
They were the loudest band I have ever seen in concert.
Wow what an awesome song!
We saw Judas priest live in Baltimore Maryland
Best track of this album
Kickazz song and Kickazz album cover
One of my mothers favorites.thanks.
Sooooo much great music like this came out when I was in HighSchool.
Indeed the epitome of heavy metal!!!!! Live tomorrow here in St. Louis!!! 11-13-2022! 56 years young fricken ROCK N ROLL!!
Rob Halford was, and will always be, a god
Awwwww yeaaah this song is bad ass love these guys they are the real metal gods 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love this song I had to. Great band love judas priest fan since the 80s. I bought this tape when I was 8 or 9 years old.
A lovely song.......
I think Judas Priest is my favorite band. As Defenders of the Faith, they hold the sword and shield of metal.
Timeless
LOVE U GUYS...
. GOD BLESS U BROTHERS
This is just one of the bricks in the rock and roll road that'll run forever....
I love heavy metal!
Black as Night, Faster than a Shadow......WHOOOO

The Metal God.
Temazo
I like evening star and before the dawn from this album!
I just made a Piano arrangement of “Before the Dawn” let me know what you think!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love Before the Dawn, it's the only Priest ballad that isn't sappy, pretentious, overwrought and overbearingly melancholic (it is a little melancholic, but it's more restrained and has more of a genuine, emotional impact that isn't contrived), that and it has one of the best K.K. solos on it.
Still a totally badass song. 🤘😎🤘
I couldn't hear for week!
If the Hells Angels need a battle song. This is it
Killing Machine!!!
