Judas Priest - Breaking The Law Reaction/Review 

Judas...Metal Gods!! Try Victim of Changes.

Rob Halford has range in his vocals like no other, The Ripper is the perfect example of that to me!

Holly shit biz. You everywhere. Man the Priest is a powerhouse. They are great. Yes dive in

Please check out my favorite Priest track, "Sinner", from the album 'Sin After Sin'. Atmospheric, heavy, and aggressive. What more could you ask for?

Judas Priest we're HUGE. probably the first true heavy metal band. They were definitely inspired by Black Sabbath. Phenomenal band with an otherworldly lead singer. I definitely recommend victim of changes, delivering the goods, and painkiller Biz. They're currently on their 50th anniversary tour and they have tons and tons of great songs.

dive into the album "Sad Wings of Destiny", for starters...

Judas Priest. British Steel. Great album.

Absolutely do a deep dive BizMan!!!!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!!😎🍸

Absolutely The preist is a🤘🤘🤘🤘

Awesome catalogue, more diverse than many contemporaries.

Stains class is a great album but really all jp albums are great. Can’t go wrong with the Priest

This brings me back to hanging out by the lake as a teen Trunk open on my first car Priest blaring Great memories

You don't know what's it like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JP has been around since '69, and Sabbath since '68. Both bands are out of Birmingham, England.

Priest! Fantastic! Victim of changes! JP rules...

British steel album is great. Priest is huge. They were here in San Antonio a week and a half ago. Great show. Even though they have a few new dudes. Rob delivered 🤘

This song- IMO is 1 of the most perfect Metal songs of all. F/Length, 2theme, 2rhythm- everything's perfect. *Other classics: Y.G.Anothother Thing Comin'. Living Aft Midnight, Heading Out 2d Highway, Electric Eye, Screaming 4Vengeance, Some Heads R Gonna Roll, Freewheel Burning, Love Bites, Turbo Lover, .. shrimp gumbo, coconut shrimp, shrimp sandwiches, shrimp soup, ... n that's about it Gump! 😆

Nice head bangin there, bud👍

Judas Priest is the premiere heavy metal band from the UK... They were the first band in the 70's to embrace the term 'heavy metal' for their music, and set the stage for every British heavy metal band after them - Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Venom... etc. and they ruled the 80's. The band was formed in Birmingham, UK where Black Sabbath were from... Judas Priest were a local rock band for years since 1970, but the band solidified their line-up by 1975 w/ Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing (guitars), Ian Hill (bass) and Rob Halford (vocals)... they went thru a few drummers in their career. Their first 2 records were not successful... but Judas Priest were signed to a US label in 1977 and began touring the world that year and releasing 5 studio albums by 1979 and released a successful live album in '79 called 'Unleashed in the East'... Priest had also popularized an image for heavy metal bands wearing leather outfits and jackets w/ metal studs... Lead singer Rob Halford would also ride a Harley bike on stage at their concerts. In 1980, Judas Priest broke big w/ their 6th album 'British steel' w/ drummer Dave Holland joining the band... this single 'Breaking the law' and 'Living after midnight' were hugely successful worldwide. By 1982, Priest were headlining arenas across America, and Iron Maiden were one of their opening bands... Judas Priest dominated the 80's, but later found their popularity being eclipsed by bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth. In 1989, they were sued in Nevada for allegedly inspiring a double suicide; they were accused of putting in a "subliminal command" in a 1978 record. Priest went on trial in 1990 and were eventually acquitted. Scott Travis (drums) replaced Dave Holland that year. Determined to prove their strength, Judas Priest released their most aggressive album 'Painkiller' in 1990... However, despite their success, lead singer Rob Halford announced in 1992 that he was leaving the band for a solo career. After a long hiatus, Judas Priest re-emerged in 1997 w/ new singer Tim' Ripper' Owens, but the band was not as popular as they had been in the 80's, and released 2 records w/ Owens by 2001. Rob Halford's solo career was also not hugely successful. In 2004, Judas Priest announced a long-awaited reunion w/ Rob Halford back on vocals w/ Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing (guitars), Ian Hill (bass) and Scott Travis (drums) and experienced a resurgence in commercial popularity. In 2009, they celebrated the 30th anniversary of 'British steel' by playing the entire record live on tour. Unfortunately, internal conflicts within Priest led to founding guitarist K.K. Downing leaving the band in 2011, and Judas Priest announced the addition of Ritchie Faulkner (guitar) to replace him. In 2017, guitarist Glenn Tipton announced that he was suffering from Parkinson's disease and would be unable to tour w/ Judas Priest, but would still be writing & recording in the studio. Judas Priest hired their producer Andy Sneap to be their touring guitarist, and celebrated their 50 year anniversary w/ a tour in 2021/ '22. In 2021, K.K. Downing announced he was working w/ singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens in a new band - K.K.'s Priest.... That same year on tour in the US, guitarist Ritchie Faulkner survived a near-fatal health scare and required heart surgery. He returned to playing live in 2022 only months later...

Awesome album from Judas Priest 😊

The Gods of Metal. Rob has an amazing voice. I saw them in concert less than 2 weeks ago! They put the Metal in Metal! This band is beyond worth going down the rabbit hole.

judas priest are heavy metal gods!!!!!!!! they invented the leather and studs look

Classic fucking Judas Priest.

Listen to Electric Eye , or Screaming for Vengeance, or Freewheel Burning all are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love the reactions, Biz! Check out _Living After Midnight_ (also on British Steel). Other excellent choices are from their live, _Unleashed In The East_ and include _The Ripper_ which goes right into _The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown)_

Judas Priest is part of the new wave of British heavy metal, this is from 1980.

Judas Priest has the METAL GOD Rob Halford. Listen to PAINKILLER by Judas Priest and be blown away. \m/

You're speaking my language. AC/DC, ZZTop and now Judas Priest. The trifecta of rock and roll.

He broke the law numerous times. Homosexuality was "breaking the law" back then. Times had changed since the 80s

There's a reason Judas Priest reminds you of Black Sabbath. They're both bands from the Black Country, hailing from the same "heavy metal" industrial city in Britain's Midlands: Manchester.

"Hell rider, Turbo lover, Metal meltdown, All guns blazing """

And Judas Priest is STILL making music, check out Flame Thrower from a few years ago - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ihtQX5LsSiU.html or No Surrender - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vMU804-bjQA.html or Evil Never DIes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vMU804-bjQA.html

Great reaction! Thanks. I recommend Victim of Changes studio version 👌

Memories 18 with buddies 73 pontiac 3days of refreshments smoke and anything goes. My generation was so special.

The Green Manalishi Diamonds & Rust( Live Unleashed In The East)

Great song! Some of my other favorite JP songs are: The Hellion/Electric Eye, Delivering the Goods, Exciter, You've Got Another Thing Comin', Desert Plains, & Burnin' Up.

they's HUGE bro. Rob Halford is known as The Metal God for a reason! try Turbo Lover ..and for EXTREME energy try All Guns Blazing and Painkiller. the latter two, i dare you to workout to them...and try to keep pace lmao

You should listen to painkiller by Judas priest you would be amazed it's not flow like breaking the law

Is the catalog worth a listen? Hell. Yes. Top recommendation… Painkiller. That song will melt your face off. Hahaha. But yeah, man Living After Midnight, You Got Another Thing Coming, Heading Out to the Highway, Nightcrawler… they got a lot of good stuff.

The live version of victim of changes '1983' is an absolute must to check out/react to. Love your channel Biz. Keep on grinding!

They're definitely worth checking out. This song was a commercial hit for them. It's cool, but they have better imo. Anything off of Stained Class, Hell Bent, Screaming for Vengeance, and Defenders of the Faith🤘 Have a good weekend BizMatik ☮️🤘🤙

Do THE HELLION/ELECTRIC EYE! Do YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING! Do VICTIM OF CHANGES! Do LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT! Do HELL BENT FOR LEATHER!

Sad Wings of Destiny and Sin After Sin are 2 very good classic Judas Priest albums. Check out the song Dissident Aggressor off of Sin After Sin for a good example of a vocal work out.

Sad Wings Of Destiny and Unleashed In The East (their 1979 live in Japan album) are totally worth track-by-track reviews! There would be no New Wave Of British Heavy Metal without Judas Priest. Hugely influential band. The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown), from Unleashed In The East (and Killing Machine) is a cover of a song by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Diamonds And Rust, from Sin After Sin is a cover of a Joan Baez song. Both truly incredible cover versions that Judas Priest makes all their own!

Yes! ❤

The first concert I ever attended was Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in 1981. I was 14. Still a fan after all these years. They have a vast catalog, Biz! My suggestion would be "Victim of Changes" from the Unleased in the East - Live in Japan album.

You have only just scratched the surface here Biz. This is commercial Judas Priest. So much variety in their catalogue. Early albums like Sad Wings of Destiny and Stained Class have some classics and then you get into Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith and it is different altogether but still excellent and Rob Halford, the vocalist is THE METAL GOD!

I would like you to react to Changes...and a few more. You mentioned the singer. So😎

Both Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are from The Midlands region of England and from the same town, Birmingham. During WWII Birmingham was a steel producing city. Look up Rob Halford talking about growing up hearing the steel hammers pounding Listen to Metal God and imagine the steel hammer pounding the rythmn. Steel was the only career opportunity Tony Iomi worked in the steel mill and this is where he lost tips of his fingers. He had to tune his guitar way down because it hurt his fingers. At the time bands played in standard tuning but due to Iomis low tunig Black Sabbath's sound was more dark. This tuning was suited for Ozzy's vocal range. Then came Judas Priest with studded leather looks with faster riffs and dystopian future themed songs

This was the 2nd Judas priest album I bought, the first was unleashed in the east, their live album recorded in Japan. My first foray into heavy metal, just an awesome band

Crazy how rock and roll brings that smile even to non listeners. My man The priest is long and deep you can dive in to their 20+ albums and long list of musical " treats. try "Sad wings of destiny, side one....

Judas priest say they're heavy metal, but in the early days I think I'd call it heavy rock, in any case I only followed them until about 1986, when the reality of life took over and I needed to start thinking about other things than sex drugs and rock and roll. They are one of the best though.

Judas Priest has a huge catalog and it includes a couple of albums with high production value that sound fantastic. British Steel is one of them.

Check put victim of changes by judas , they have a catalog you wot believe

They have as many albums and songs as ACDC so that should get you going ! This song is one of their most BASIC

Judas Priest - The Hellion/Electric Eye

VICTIM OF CHANGES LIVE AT THE SEMINOLE HARD ROCK ARENA 🔥🔥🔥

Have a listen to Victim of Changes off the Unleashed in the East album

SAD WINGS OF DESTINY ALBUM - AND THEN HIT SCREAMING FOR VENGANCE - "yOUVE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING"

For me their best studio album is Killing machine.

Back in the day they were at the tippity top , the A list absurdly loud saw them twice

You should have seen it with the official video clip, which is the cheesiest ever. Love it.

Beyond the Realms of Death great song and solo

BACK CATALOG SO WORTH - THE GREEN MANALISHI

Bangin' the head! Bangin' the head!😂🤘

Live,live, live, listen to them live !

Sad wings of Destiny great one

Check out their tune The Sentinel

Sad wings of destiny🥰

Another great choice

The Metal Gods

Vocal range

Absolutely!

They are on their 50th year tour right now. It was delayed a year or two by the virus.. They are one of the best metal bands ever. You can't go wrong with any song off the album Stained Class. My favorite song on that album is Beyond the Realms of Death. Another great song of theirs is Victims of Changes.

Denim And Leather is a good tune also from this band. Seen them while stationed in Germany back in the day.

this is there worst song

Priest was key in the metal scene of the ‘80s! So solid! Please check out Hellion-Electric Eye, such a classic Big Metal intro into a real ripper! Peace Biz!

Let us not overlook the greatest Priest tune of all time, “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming!” Peace
