Amazing cover, close to original. When i listen to this cover and another covers of Judas Priest's songs i just apreciate more and more Judas Priest one more time again and again. Altough Iron Maiden is great band, Judas Priest is superior, genious band with genious lyrics and music, versatile and pioneer in heavy metal, many bands were influenced and be influenced by Judas Priest. Judas Priest come with his music far ahead of time. Thank you Judas Priest for your music, for your attitude to your fans and to bandmates and to other bands. Just remember, when Judas Priest create versatle and intellectual and powerful music, Metallica still create the music of garage band...
Too think that the R/R hall of Fame has snubbed Priest. What are they thinking??????? Best metal band of the 70's through today in my opinion. Seen them dozens of times. Even caught the St Louis outdoor festival in 1980 at Busch Memorial stadium when Priest was there. SUPERB!!!!
I had this version in my iTunes as the "Original" version of Judas Priest hahaha. 10 years got the full album and listened to the original Exciter, I was like... I though it was heavier...
@@adameves5970 the original isn't rigid at all, its melodic, dynamics, and it swings while beign ferocious and ahead of its time with Lesbinks. Even take to Louie Bellson, to Max roach to Clyde stubberfield , to Bernard Purdie, to Mitch Mitchell to Ginger, To Carmine Appice to Keith Moon to Cobham to Mouzon, to Ian Paice, Bill Ward , Vinny Appice, Cozy Powell , to Simon Phillips to Kim Kuzz, to even Abaddon to stephen Priestly to Gar Samuelson ... Its not rigid at all. It may be chaotic purposely and super heavy, drum concepts are artisticly as valuable and deep that any other instrument. You guys think being a drummer is just bash the hell of the kit and beign rythmic Drummer is beign an artist also. Rythm is one thing, but all the greats, you have arrangements, interaction, ochestrations , phrasing, melody, timber - tone value and Swing Groove . Even Phil animal Taylor was swing in fast stuff. Even Dave Holland . Even Mike Browning was " Funky as hell ," if you listen Abominations of desolation by Morbid Angel. Even Donnie and Scott Colombus in early Manowar there s a swag and and an intelligence in what they were doing. Even in the fast stuff it gave a balance , urgence like punky feel that gave agression and impulsion. There s nothing in German stuff up to mid 80's. Its fucking robotic and asexual playing.
@@ToxicTemplar beign illusioned to be brutal is irrevelant where there s no musical and interpretation. It could be a drum machine at that point. You guys seems just enjoy something that is " loud " because as metalhead its what is supposed to be liked, without knowning why in the sense is you don't care if there s content or not.
