Is it one of those old white plastic cassettes? The clear see-through cassettes seemed to be from the 90's when I was a kid, but I used to get used old white cassettes now and then.
My grandmother came to visit me and stopped into a record store and asked what kids were listening to these days ... Thankfully the guy was a metal head and recommended "Hell Bent for Leather" (Which had just been released). I was 8 years old and have been a Priest fan ever since ...
Now just turning 58 listening...I can't imagine what my parents were thinking as this album was blasting, well as blasting as my record player could go out of my bedroom.
Prolly thought-'oh goodness, our sweet little pefect boy is going to start smoking pot, grow his hair long, drop out of school, become a degenerate, get a tattoo and end up in prison. Better keep an eye on him!!!' Judas Priest might have saved your life.
A Priest classic that never gets played enough these days. The chord progression (E to Db) was clever for that period in hard rock. Very underrated rock composers.
These guys were unreal composers. If it was easy to write original catchy rock songs then everyone would be doing it. These guys could do that. They are pretty well the first band to do proper metal songs. And to top it off they could import styles from other genres and make it work. I see people saying this is a step down from Stained Class but I think it takes more talent to make this album.
@@gogoyubari366because shit bands like DnR are exponentially more popular. When priest did what they attempted to do before they ever did. For fucking decades.
There was a period in my life when I was working in Bolt Food - I was responsible for providing food and be sure that customer will be happy at the end of the day . Back to these days, Delivering the Goods was my daily anthem ^.^
My father and I have tickets for last year's concert. I hope that it can be made up for quickly to see the MetalGods live. Until then, stay healthy and rock.
A band at the height of their powers - producing something this polished & professional in the studio & whilst doing the titanic Unleashed in the East live.
First band I knew of to be proud of being Metal and say it. There may have been others, I dunno, but JP caught my attention. Megadeth is doing a cover of this song.
Feeling like we're, ready to kick tonight No hesitating, my bodies aching Looking for some action, satisfaction all right Charging, vein faced, as active as one-hundred solid proof Mega town, Leviathan, we're ready to hit the roof You better watch out and hold on tight We're heading your way like dynamite Uhhh, Delivering the goods Uhhh, Delivering the goods Shake down, rock 'em boys, crack that whip strap mean Pulse rave, air waves, battle lies in every place we've been Stealing your hearts all across the land Hot blood doing good, we're going to load you with our brand You better watch out and hold on tight We're heading your way like dynamite Uhhh, Delivering the goods Yeah, Delivering the goods Have your way Stealing your hearts Well we don't pull no punches, we aim where the crunch is The bound to do most damage to your brain If you're looking for it mellow You're nothing more than yellow Gonna do it again and again We'll beat you to submission So you might as well surrender You do gotta learn your lesson 'Cause there ain't nobody here to defend your heart Faster, higher 'Til it seems that we're gonna break Ohh shootin' further, giving more than you're ever gonna take Weaving with your heads Crushed out on the floor Begging for mercy Be careful or we'll do it some more You better watch out and hold on tight We're heading your way like dynamite Uhhh, Delivering the goods Uhhh, Delivering the goods Glenn Raymond Tipton / Kenneth Downing / Robert John Arthur Halford
Got my chance to see them live at louder than Life 2021 while their guitarist was bleeding to death inside his own body. I delivered pizzas for Papa John's for 15 years and it'd been working for doordash for the last three years and everyday I start my day-off listening to this because that's what I do deliver the goods.
Cheers Judas Priest! We need the Defenders of the Metal Faith to be Delivering The Goods more than EVER!! Happy New Year Judas Priest ! From, the Rockies of Utah.🍻
I believe very few realise the importance of this album on the genre of Heavy Metal. Judas Priest had, up until this time produced some incredible work, with mediocre results. Their 1978 release "Stained Class" turned a lot of heads - turned this band into a force to be reckoned with. As a result, Priest was under pressure to present a follow-up to Stained Class that would prove their rightful place in the domain of Metal. Boy - did they deliver! In my humble opinion, "Killing Machine" [Hell Bent For Leather] serves as the most virile - most direction-deciding album Heavy Metal could ever see. Killing Machine hits all the points, nails all the paradigms of what we now call "metal" music". Truth-be-told, EVERY metal band that has risen to popularity since the late 1970s owes a wealth of gratitude to Judas Priest for showing them the formula of how great Heavy Metal should sound like - look like - BE like. ~ Jon Usry
Priest needs to release an "instrumentals" album(s) and "accapella" album(s). Just imagine hearing an isolated instrumal track or Rob's vocals all by themselves 😱😱
A lot of bands tried to find a way to poetically say fuck off to existence, but this band is the only one that released music that soared like a middle finger in the sky and a grin that no one will ever really get except Judas Priest.
🤘😎🤘 Oh hell yeah. This song kicks ass, man. Especially, the killer rifts on the dual guitars. Rob Halford vocals are totally worth head banging, though.
