Glenn's speech certainly broke my heart. This band gave us so many great moments and so many emotions throughout all of their music, Judas shall live forever, nothing is going to change that. Watching all of them plus K.K and Les was such a special moment we won't ever forget, they certainly have proved us there's no such thing when it comes of being a member of the Judas Priest family. Thanks and thanks to Dave Holland and Ripper Owens for the time both stayed in the band in all of those years performing and writing amazing music.
And thanks to the guys for allowing Richie to stay there and perform. He totally deserved it and he's certainly a huge part of what Judas is today. Big shoes to fill and he was able to make it, hats off.
Im honored and privilidged to say Ive been around since the birth of Heavy metal. Judas Priest altered and STEERED H.M. to its leather and chrome and the sheer power combined with frantic tempo that is us. They were as critical to the formation as Alice or Ted Or EVH, KISS or ACDC, Deep Purple, even iron butterfly and humble pie ROCKIN THE FILMORE "I don't NEED no Dr". JP is a formation and cornerstone of what we've been upholding for HALF A CENTURY NOW. When I die, Metallicas "Wherever I may roam will be in the background. Rocks immortal.....and so are we. Keep the faith. "I have Spoken" (From Mandalorian) Chris OBrien 63 Yrs old.....going on 15 Passion +Power = US
I Have to add. Glenn Tipton grew a HUGE pair showing up and being part of. Without Glenn nothing would have been the same. Like a recipe for cake without its sugar. It brought tears...because we know him as someone who got clobbered with bad news. Man he played 10 YEARS with that disease without a complaint or a peep. Glenn...you dA man.
@@mgomez5606 Let me tell you something about Glenn. I felt sorry for him when he got sick. He almost cried during an interview and begged for messages. I thought I'd write him some poetry. This went on for a while, but there was no reply. As soon as I stopped, Halford begged me to continue, because "Glenn loves his fans passionately and your letters mean the world to him, they're such a thrill." I told him I'm not a fan, I'm a woman. So, Glenn never replied but felt entitled. Not only that - it seems he believes there's some love story happening in his head. I have little doubt that their new song, "Trial By Fire", is about the attention I paid him. It sounds like Tom G Warrior's lamentations, with a "wood" video to match... You were in my grasp Hid behind your veil Hang me out to dry I broke every rule Fell right in your trap Played me for a fool Tried to make you mine Took this holy vow Then you crossed the line Branded a liar Whipped and abused Committed no crime In my innocence I have endured trial by fire etc.
You are the best, I love your music and we are waiting for you, for concerts in Poland, I have been to your concerts 3 times and I will go again as soon as you come to our country in Poland
It's incredible how they epurate KK's speech when he thanked dave Holland for his drum work thru the years...and...the try to approach Rob done by KK, presumely talkin' about a possible reunion with them...so pity.
KK is SOOOO FUCKING UNDERATED. Go back and listen. All the Priest hallmarks came thru him; - Two Guitar Attack -Buzz Saw Lead Breaks **not just the guitars, breaks ripped open by drums, by sounds that were somehow more image than audio, by Halford's voice woven in like a musical section of its own, the beautiful 'Power of Heaven' bass lines, even breaks when everything punched thru together, briefly, as some singularity 'heavy metal thunder' clap -(this next I didnt comprehend until I read Kieth Richard's biography) --the tuning of his guitar so that it sounds like a freaking horn! ...or ten thousand war/battle/attack/welcome/victory/celebration horns sounding and echoing across the universes🤟 -his RIDICULOUS speed and precision and.....wildly galloping, fluidly melodic?(I dont fucking know) solos, laid over and under and beside and thru everything Everything EVERYTHING!! Metal starts with PRIEST and Priest starts with KK Umm..., Ya. Pretty big Priest Fan. I know there were heavy hitters bringing the tunes forward to the world. Sabbath, to me, is the other king on a throne. Maiden is very very close. Kind of adjacent are...AC\DC, VAN HALEN, even FLOYD, ZEP, STEPPENWOLF, CREEM, BUTTERFLY...Different, but no less essential are COOPER, KISS, LEPPARD, TWISTED SISTER, CRUE...then came...to me, the band that did and was something similar to Judas but in this new present time METALLICA...then the other big 3 etc etc etc and hundreds that I missed, but nothing and no one did it as surgically as Judas. Each new album brought new sounds and experiments! I could go on for ever(as shown) The fact that Priest wasnt an instantaneous and unanimous induction vote proved the R&R HoF to be an embarrassingly uninformed bureaucracy overlooking the Icons of our Love and Laudations, our Youth and our Future... But I was grateful that someone pittied the cubicle dwellers enough to save a little portion of their credibility by enlightening them about the Reality of R&R's many branches of Nobility🤟 Lastly🙏😁, Speaking of Nobility; Its things like an understated, to the point, speech like Ian's that make judas priest JUDAS PRIEST🤟❤️🇨🇦
I've been a Priest fan for decades never really listened to the Ripper Owen's years but why did they invite Les Binks which only drummed for 3 years but didn't invite Ripper which was a member for 6 years
@@rickidregg2888 There is considerable doubt anymore about Dave's guilt. One of the people involved on the 'victim's' side has come forward and said it was a setup. At the end of the day though, I guess we'll never know.
Agreed, but nobody cares about him, including (and especially) Judas Priest. They have erased him from their history. They don't even have the albums they made with him on sale in their internet merch store.
Without Ripper Judas Priest might have not been able to keep moving on up until now. They might have been just an occasional band when Rob Halford felt like it.
I quit following rocknroll hall of fame when they kept accepting trash over this band for way too many years, it's about damn time! Well deserved, congrats to them
