Today is my first Legends of Heavy Metal post.
I've gone for Judas Priest because, along with Black Sabbath, they are about as classic as you can get with metal bands.
The lead guitar duo of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton are up there with the best to have ever existed. These guys pioneered the harmonized guitars found so heavily in lots of metal subgenres today and inspired countless generations of guitarists who would go on to play things like thrash, death and power metal.
Rob Halford, along with Ronnie James Dio and Ozzy Osbourne, is considered to be a phenomenal lead singer - having a range that far exceeded most rock frontmen at the time, and a certain growl and uniqueness to his voice.
Plus - who do you think started all the leather wearing and chain swinging that all the 80s metal and rock bands adhered to?
Enjoy one of heavy metal's legend's best songs.
