been to alot of concerts even won tickets to see Priest had to hand em to some friends. 82 would have been balls down by far a great time in rock to see these guys
This is a token of two things: How Priest had a brilliant way of doing covers back then and how great a band Fleetwood Mac was while Green was still with them. Just how ahead of its time was this song back in -69!
Rob Halford mentioned a lot of great riff masters including Tony Iommi and Ritchie Blackmore at their concert 10 years ago (as much as I remember) but then he said that Peter Green was at least of their caliber... and we all knew which song would follow. As for a choice, well... I could not really decide between the original and this mighty Priest version. Both are outstanding in their own right. But as one of the best comments I've read in my life stated "When Judas Priest covers a song, it automatically becomes a Judas Priest song.", well... I couldn't agree more. They made it theirs. Long live the Priest! And don't you forget Peter Green either. True talents live forever!
@@channel5980 Yup, that's why I said "probably"!🤣 A really hard one to choose. I'm thinking of making a special episode on the show on Judas Priest cover songs
With this song, and with Diamonds and Rust too, Judas Priest really have been able to turn someone else's songs into their own songs! They sound as they were born as Judas Priest songs. And Judas Priest has always been a great band! Greetings from Italy!
For years, I had no idea that those two songs were covers. When I finally found out, I went and listened to the originals. While both were good by Fleetwood Mac and Joan Baez, respectfully, neither come close to the energy that Priest gives to both songs!
@@Beeracuda922 yes, they added a lot of Energy, Power! They are a Heavy Metal (one of the best, indeed), so of these elements they have plenty. Sometimes they played Diamonds and Rust acoustic, so it sounds more similar to Joan Baez's original; but I much prefer the electric galopping version! Probably Baez's fans will not agree... 😆 Greetings from Italy!
I'm not a fan of Priest as Metal Gods. But I'm gonna appreciate their talent which appears in cover songs as "Diamonds" and "Manalishi". Please remember "Johnny B Goode" at Ram It Down too.
@@米田さとし They covered another song, Better By You Better Than Me by Spooky Tooth, on their album Stained Class in 1978, and made a good work with it too. But, some years later, that song gave them a lot of trouble, because they were accused of causing the death of two young men who killed each other after listening to that album... It was obviously a madness, to give the fault to the band! Plain bullshit! If those two were out of their head, surely the music had no fault. But in the eighties HM and HR were seen by some as a menace to society! 🙄 Of course, in the end reason prevailed, and Judas Priest were proven not guilty. Greetings from Italy!
@@sergiodambrosio363 Their reading (so to speak) here of Green's song is pretty straightforward. Their energy & style into/onto Green's version. I prefer Green/Fleetwood Mac's version because, for me, Green was a brilliant guitar player and highly influential on my own young days as a player (I learned how to play this song long before Priest took it on). The lyrics - knowing the context to Green - mean something entirely different in that version than here. The Baez song in something else entirely (and I am speaking here as a Baez fan - since you mentioned that). Because Baez was writing about and to Dylan (and it's quite a kiss off/fk you song in that context) & Halford could not, or did not want to, sing that whole swath of the lyrics that were absolutely, 100% about/to Dylan he left them out. The compensation he added was by turning the title into a repeated chorus, which was a clever arrangement move. In the end tho' there is absolutely no way that the Priest version can ever be as emotionally charged as Baez's version. It's just not personal, so it's not possible. There's my two cents.
Did anybody used to sing along as kid: "You're the green Mitsubishi with the horn too loud"? I didn't think those were the lyrics, but I liked changing them to that for whatever reason.
This is simply the greatest heavy metal cover of all time, hands down. Originally written by Fleetwood Mac founding member Peter Green. The original is so awesome and the Priest cover is bust your balls amazing
I always loved this song since I first heard in in the early 80s and was always fascinated about what the hell it meant. In all that time I never realized this was a cover. Going back to the original Fleetwood Mac / Peter Green version I am amazed to find that it's much darker and heavier than Judas Priest's cover. I would have never thought I'd say such a thing comparing those two bands but there it is. Lord, what might have been if Peter Green hadn't fell into his troubles right after this track was released.
Exactly. There are elements of fear, panic & foreboding in Green's version that do not exist here. The slower pace also makes it so. No disrespect to Priest's take on the song.
This was the song that brought my attention to this group. Rockin since1975, guitar player since '77, it was a bit embarrassing to see the huge omission I had made. Carnac, you're Mac story's insane and cool. Ha
All my looking into the history of songs band I just now found this With Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac Love both bands and I’ve never ever heard Fleet wood macs versions till tonight just stumbled across it WoW that right there is why music is awesome it just keeps giving and is deep then deeper then even more and so on so forth
I think the only band I've seen live more times than Priest is AC/DC. The glorious results of a misspent youth. Well done on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, lads. Well deserved.
Most already know, but for those that don't, this song is a cover and was written by Peter Green of the the original Fleetwood Mac. Also, Peter Green wrote Black Magic Woman which was later covered by Santana.
When Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the RRHOF they performed their post 1975 hits - Santana was inducted the same night and invited Peter to perform "Black Magic Woman" with him.
JUD/\S PRIEST - THE GREEN M/\N/\LISHI Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do Can't believe that she needs my love so bad Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down Just taking my love, and slip away Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
5-2-24 The Armory Minneapolis. Went nuts when I heard this begin. The whole show was off the charts but this was the song that started it for me so long ago. Hope you heard me playing along out front. Grendelwithalg
Nyyyeah, I made this before I saw there were other lyrics presented. I think he's speaking TO the Entity, not about it. In any event, I had never heard the studio version until today - the live one on the radio since like '80 is what I've always known, and that's even different-still. Well, no sense in deleting it, lol---😇🤗😏 Now, when the Day goes to sleep and the Full Moon looks ...and the Night is so black that the Darkness cooks ...then, you come creepin' around, makin' me do things I don't wanna do Can't believe that you need my love so bad Sneakin' around, tryin' to drive me mad Bustin' in all my dreams, makin' me see things I don't wanna see 'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-prong crown All my draggin' is up - All your bringin' is down Just takin' my love, then slip away, leavin' me here, tryin' to keep from following you...Ohhhhhh......🤩
My daughter lived in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. She had Alexa and a good speaker system. When I was on my own, I would say 'Alexa play Green Manalishi'. Louder, LOUDER LOUDER... And the walls would shake 😂😂😂
An amazing cover song that just cuts to the core of the feeling and adds a new layer of interest to the original. This is the kind of cover you want to make.
I still remember getting rides to school and myfriend blasting Judas Priest. I probably got to third period before I could hear again but it was awesome!
The first time I saw Judas priest was in 1985, the turbo tour then I saw them in 2005 angel of retribution tour and then I saw him at Glen Helen in 2010 where they went from album to album to album playing all the hits in my opinion Rob halford best voice in heavy metal ever he gets better with age
Never even heard a cover of this song before, but loved this version! I think Pete would have loved it too. Stays at the original tempo and the guitar licks don't go overboard... I think it's great!
To think they 2 songs from 2 of the greatest song writers ever, Peter Green and Joan Baez, and make them into 2 of the greatest metal songs ever is so awesome!
Full moon locks..or what is it... intro just hypnotize listener. Combination of guitar riff and voice. Is a ultimate... When i was younger.. i listen beginning of the song so manu times...this upbeat gutair... my mad.... you know.... So many times..i start song again and again..this was a real thing to me... darkness cuts...
An unforgettable concert in Lodz (Poland) 2014. Thank you guys, I want to see you again in Poland and I hope you will never end playing heavy metal ...
76 and rocking to this 12/27/2024 outstanding music that gets better with age.
Judas Priest. What a name, what a great band.
The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest by Bob Dylan. Where it all started.....
Bought the album when it first came out...man just badass for a 17 yo.
So is KK PRIEST
The term judas priest was created many years ago as an alternative to taking Jesus' name in vain.
The raw power of classic metal just can't be matched with the overproduced music we have now.
The lyrics of this song is written by Peter Green.
The Fleetwood Mac original was darker.
Early priest .. soo good
Boy, do you have that right
Saw Priest in 82 fantastic concert,my ears are still ringing
Myself
Yes, did you see them w Iron Maiden? I'm partially deaf from it, lol!
@@maureentakach3065 I bet 😂 no it was a Canadian band,Coney Hatch in Toronto
@@maureentakach3065 I saw them at that time with Maiden on the British Steel tour .

Yyyyeeeeeeaaaahhhhhh
Green was the MAN!!! excellent player and visionary
Now this is probably the best cover Judas Priest has ever did!🤘 Still remember hearing it live for the first time, legendary!
What about "Diamonds And Rust"?
@@channel5980 Yup, that's why I said "probably"!🤣 A really hard one to choose. I'm thinking of making a special episode on the show on Judas Priest cover songs
💯💯💯
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac... Before Stevie Nicks...
Для меня лучшая обложка - Нострадамус
Anyone here in 2024? Kicks ass, right?!!
hell yeah
🤘
Vote blue lol
Seen them live twice back in the 80's. STILL ROCKS in 2024❤
Kicking ass since 1970 . Undefeated
Hell yeah I'm still here 10-31 -1960. Priest!
Yep 4 8 63 digging it

The world is a much better place with Judas Priest. Long live JP! We need a 20th album!
Rob "the metal god" Halford and the rest of Priest payin homage to the late Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac... Makin them speakers smoke, people!!!
Tribute to one of the greatest guitarists of all time....
Once a metal head. Always a metal head. Priest 83 US festival
Yes! I was there too!
Unleashed in the east is one of the best live albums ever they were at the top of their game and nailed every song
YEAH BUT ITS NOT VERY LIVE
@@ganndeber1621That's why many refer to it as "Unleashed in the Studio."
Good points, everyone, but nevertheless it's still easily my favorite album of theirs, studio or otherwise
You can tell a song is timeless when you listen to it again years later, and you still say, WOW!!!!
the original version by Fleetwood Mac was pretty good as well... 54 years ago
This is one of the few songs ever with a true Trade-Off style guitar solo between two guitar players.
One of my favourite songs by Judas Priest
It’s actually originally by Peter Green when he was with Fleetwood Mac. You should give it a listen personally I like it better than this version
@@samuelsalkill1802 the original is more doom laden, and it’s the Green God.
It's not originally judas priest but they made it they're own very good job on their part
The original version by Peter Green is SOOOO much better
@@briantaylor2.023 you’re crazy
Kicks ass with a sider order of kicks ass. Seen Judas Priest ten times. Always legendary. Always epic. Always amazing. 🤘🤘🤘
Rob Halford is such an inspiration, every song he sings his ass off!
Did anybody used to sing along as kid: "You're the green Mitsubishi with the horn too loud"? I didn't think those were the lyrics, but I liked changing them to that for whatever reason.
I like it.
I shall sing it that way from now on.
😂
ROTFLMAO...!!!!
YEAH I DID...!!
Man, KK and Glen: what a duo.

Darker? Sure. Heavier? No, not in the central definition of heavy sound ("full and loud and deep").
I think the only band I've seen live more times than Priest is AC/DC. The glorious results of a misspent youth. Well done on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, lads. Well deserved.
Possibly the best song I've ever heard about greed.
Written by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac in 1970. The original is spine chillingly stunning.
Saw Judas Priest do this live about a month ago in Charleston, WV.......sounded great!!!!

Yes indeed!!
I think this is the most diverse album they have done. A lot of different styles
My First Rock concert in ,1985 , Great 👍
Hey now me to! I have a band Electric Phase! I was just out of High school we were band appreciate local talent, Super cool guys!

JUD/\S PRIEST - THE GREEN M/\N/\LISHI
Now when the day goes to sleep
and the full moon looks
And the night is so black
that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around,
making me do things
I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams,
making me see things I don't want to see
Cause you're the Green Manalishi
with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up,
or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
And the full moon "lurks" *
@@klaytonvonkluge4905
Every source points to *''LOOKS''* as the correct form. It even rhymes with *''COOKS...''*

Rock In Peace Peter Green
This would be the perfect song to open a movie with!
Thing I love the most about Priest's take on this song is that both Glenn and KK stayed true to the tune's blues origins on their respective solos
Original Priest fan here. Best live performance i seen every time. Talent, very professional! 💯 percent. Ride on!!!
Peter Green would be proud of this magnificent cover IMO !!!!
Great cover. Original version is darker IMHO.
Amen to that.
@@robertochiang8057 indeed it is

Bloody brilliant JP and FM
No doubt...
Vamos a vacilar lo nuestro es el rokanrol 😅😊

Priest are the metal gods for a reason

The first time I heard this was from Priest later I found out Fleetwood mac did this bad ass tune Priest killed this already heavy jam Rock On
Love it bloody Awesome 😎
Peter Green must be smiling from Paradise for this.....
It's not ofter that say that I say that this is better than the original, but here we are!
One of the coolest riffs I know of!
This priest style is my favorite just typifies the class of this particular period of rocks/ metals .that hypnotic whine of the guitar is unbeatable
I've loved this track for 40 years before I found out it's an old Fleetwood Mac song! Check out that version. it's badass.
Heavy Metal
Gatta, love ❤️....♡....
Judas Priest....
Never even heard a cover of this song before, but loved this version! I think Pete would have loved it too. Stays at the original tempo and the guitar licks don't go overboard... I think it's great!
