    In this #metalmonday edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to the music of Judas Priest with their classic Victim of Changes. I almost went for a newer live version of this song, but I ended up going to the original studio recording. I loved the heavy riffs, the progressive song structure, and the soaring vocals. I hope you enjoy as well!

    This has been my favorite song and album of Judas Priest for almost 50 years now. Watching Rob sing this years later is extremely impressive. They were finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 and he performed this then, at 70 years old. His voice had some limitations, as would be expected, but 15 years earlier he was still able to able to reach the full range.
    Metal gods for sure!

    Quintessential metal song. When I was a young teenager, a TV commercial for a heavy metal record store used the end of this song as the background music. I had no idea who it was, but I knew I had to find the whole album! Decades later I saw them perform at a relatively small indoor venue, with a stadium sized PA. Even wearing ear plugs, it was almost unbearably loud.

    Another musician who was part of the recording of this song was Chris Campbell who backed out of the band because he didn't want to tour. He chose to be a studio musician instead. He has remained involved in Judas Priest ever since. It's his Electronic Kit heard on the Turbo Lover album. He and his wife still make sure the hotel and meal requests are met during the tours. Back in the early days, Chris Campbell's wife would cook for the band when promotors and venues wouldn't feed them. She always had Jerk chicken, rice&beans ready when they got home and that never changed. Even when the band moved to New York City, Chris and his wife arrived out of the blue and took them grocery shopping and made sure their refrigerators were full. Glenn Tipton has said "we could finally afford steak dinner at a steakhouse every night but she still filled our homes up with groceries and she always brought that home energy with her everywhere she went. I think she still has a key to my house".

    Victim of changes from Unleashed in the East is the BEST live version. It is even better than the studio version - faster, more raw and aggressive... And Rob's vocal are so theatrical and artistic... Later (80s) his singing is more brutal and aggressive, and not so colorful... So - the entire Unleashed in the East is the crown jewel for all their works from the more progressive 70s albums. This album never stops to amaze me, even after so many years!

    We saw Rob nail this less than 2 years ago. True, the band tunes down half a step live nowadays but it was still damned impressive.

      Forgot jazz. Black Sabbath is super jazzy. Half the solos are straight up jazz with a bluesy twist and a lot of gain over groovy drums and heavy bass. Django Rheinhardt is all over Tony's playing.

    • @user-lv7ph7hs7l
      @user-lv7ph7hs7l 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TheCruxy I disagree strongly. Every early Sabbath song played without distortion is super jazzy. And I don't mean the sound I mean from a music theory aspect. Scales, chord progressions, melodies, rythm etc... Bill Wards drumming is 100% heavy swing. Jazz is all over metal. If you don't hear listen to more jazz. It's a very broad category, if you don't listen to it and just have the cliché jazz songs in your head okay but if you actually listen to jazz it's quite obvious. Tony Iommi would not have started Black Sabbath without Django Reinhardt. He gave up playing and fell into depression before he heard Django play. No jazz, no Black Sabbath, no Black Sabbath no metal. And it's not psychedelic rock it's Hendrix specifically. Everyone took over his style, which included the heavy riffs with as much distortion as Sabbath would use, though Hendrix used a fuzz pedal not an overdrive like most later. But you can say that of any guitarist. There is before Hendrix when people played like Chuck Berry or BB King and there is after Hendrix, which is how everyone plays today. Metal, blues, rock doesn't matter. He wrote one of the main books on the electric guitar. Now I've only studied music and played electric guitar for 19 years, my first song being War Pigs and I studied jazz theory. This is my opinion you may disagree.
      Metal = Blues, Jazz, Rock and later classical elements in the late 70s.
      Psych rock influence is just Hendrix. Because everyone played like him afterwards. Clapton, Beck, Iommi, Downing, Tipton... KK is basically Hendrix reinterpreted. His solos are all Hendrix....
      Hard rock evolved side by side. It's roots are in Rock n Roll. The chord progressions are all different.
      And music didn't begin the day the album was published the musicians who made them learned to play long before that.
      Tony Iommi Nr1 influence? The Shadows. It's why he played a Strat! Until he broke a string and got the SG he never played and P90s into his Laney stack along with the Dallas Rangemaster Treble booster is the Black Sabbath guitar sound and the Sabbath guitar tone is metal. Every metal band copied that style of high gain sound.
      Early Maiden, Priest, Zeppelin, it's all the same equipment. Humbuckers or P90s, into an SLP1959 boosted by an OD.
      And Tony's Laney amps are just boutique versions of what Marshall was doing along with a few mods.

      @@TheCruxy So actually I disagree with all three of your choices for what made metal. Blues rock is already a fusion, it's not a root influence as is hard rock but I explained how that one is questionable. And no one would ever say psychedelic rock. It's Hendrix and a bunch of people who copied him and that was called psych rock because reasons... ask any guitarist. Most probably don't even know what psychedelic rock is. It's like going out of your way to say Hendrix without saying his name.
      It's not Hendrix! It's a dude with a big afro, playing a Strat through a fuzz into a Plexi and doing things to the guitar no one had ever done before. Okay. You can just say Hendrix...
      His guitar sound, live, it's metal. It's so much gain the amp is near death. Even Jimmy Page's tone was downright tame compared to Hendrix (live). It's almost Randy Rhoads. He used an MXR Dist+ into a modded Plexi and humbuckers but a fuzz and a distortion pedal ate closely related both being soft clipping boost circuits, if I remember. But same type of "amp about to detonate" sound. Which is what metal is.
      Edit: a fuzz pedal uses transistor stacks to create hard clipping like modern distortion pedals and unlike early ones like Randys MXR D+. Still the principle is the same, make the sinus wave square at the top (clip off the top, clipping, get it?) makes a distorted guitar sound.

    I find it fantastic that a self-described classical composer is open to listening to and enjoying all kinds of other forms of music.
    The 1980 album British Steel and “Breaking The Law” were my introduction to Judas Priest at the age of 15, so it was a while before I made my way into the back catalogue, but Victim of Changes will always be my favourite Priest song. Yes, Painkiller is regarded by many as the definitive JP song, and many heavy metal magazines seem to regard “Living After Midnight” as JPs best song, but for me nothing comes close to the majesty of Victim of Changes.
    A few minutes of your life will be well spent watching any live rendition of “Breaking The Law”. It is so beloved by the fans that Rob Halford doesn’t even sing it: the audience sings the entire song! 😁

    I've gone down the TH-cam rabbit hole with and watched lots of reaction videos for this song. It's an all-time classic that has multiple spots in the song where the reactor stops and says "did I really just hear that?" I'm glad that you finally got around to this one.
    As for live versions - I'm in the camp for the 83 US Festival version. Even if it's not for a reaction video, it's worth checking out (that whole performance is worth checking out). Rob Halford shows not only that he can do all of those vocals live, but also how (seemingly) effortless it is for him to do them.

    Alan Moore on drums? I have the 1976 vinyl edition and it lists studio/session drummer Simon Phillips. There was a reason for the self-combusting drummer in "Spinal Tap!" I would have loved to see Priest in the early 1980's and almost had my chance in 1988, except the guy who bought the tickets didn't know me. I finally got my chance in the 1990's and saw them for the first time with Tim "Ripper" Owens on vox. He nailed this song, my favorite Priest song of all time! I did eventually get to see Priest live with Rob. Doug, you wouldn't want to see Rob do this song later in his career because his voice cracks, especially if you're on the latter lag of the tour, but he's still Rob Halford, "The Metal God," and puts on a great show! You should do this entire album -- there's not a bad track on it!

    And the live version that you are looking for is the Live at the US Festival Performance from 1983 or 84. It is available on TH-cam and it easily the best live performance of the song I have ever seen. Rob and the rest of the guys are a little bit older and have a different drummer in the band but their this live performance absolutely sails and it fits all the criteria you are looking for. Unless you are looking for performances of them doing the track in recent years. Rob can still pull off a lot of his original range at 73 years old, which is insane.

      There's a video of Rob Halford recently where he has been adding Death Growls to certain songs. In the video clip he's singing part of Painkiller and adds a bit of the Down with the Sickness-like "Ooh-ooh" growl then shakes his shoulders as if to say "That's right, mutha-fuqua!" 🤘💀

So glad to see you reviewing some of these classic metal albums from the early days of metal. BTW, LOVE the TOOL shirt!! One of my all time fave bands!!!! Cheers!
