Judas Priest are one of the pioneers of the heavy metal genre and were forerunners of the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' movement, laying the groundwork for the speed and thrash metal of the 80s and 90s back in the late 70s. The band was formed in 1967 by guitarist Kenneth "K. K." Downing, bassist Ian Hill and original singer Alan Atkins. A second guitarist, Glenn Tipton, was also added to the lineup as compensation for their record company's (Gull Records) suggestion to add a horn section to the first album. This "twin axe attack" was not particularly popular at the time, but worked wonders for the group later on and would inspire other bands to do the same. Soon Atkins would be replaced permanently with Rob Halford and the band would go on to record 14 albums from 1974 through 1990. Rob Halford decided to leave the group in 1993, going in a new direction with his new, short-lived metal band, Fight. With Halford gone and pursuing various solo projects (Fight, Two, Halford), the future looked bleak for the band, but after numerous searches for a suitable replacement, they found something special in tribute band front man Tim "Ripper" Owens. This story forms the basic plot of the movie "Rock Star," which was originally to be completely about Judas Priest and the Ripper, titled "Metal God," but the script was altered after the failure to reach an agreement with the band. Priest would make a total of 4 albums with Owens (2 studio, 2 live records) which were greeted with mixed reactions from fans. In 2003 the classic 1990 lineup was restored when Rob Halford returned to the group after rekindling the relationship during work on Judas Priest's 4-CD career retrospective "Metalogy". In 2004 the band dominated Ozzfest and released a CD of new studio material and even a live DVD in 2005, enjoying an extremely successful world tour that year. After an emotional reunion, extensive tour and new studio album, the band already has plans for a new record, in the first months of 2008.It will be Judas Priest's first conceptual album based upon the life and predictions of Nostradamus.

This was my first concert ever and It was fucking amazing! I had so much fun and the people there were very nice. Absolutely beautiful set lists and performances, I loved seeing corrosion of conformity, Alice cooper, and Judas preist, truly one of the most prefect trifecta of artists you could see live. The Ozzy tribute was ethereal, the chanting, the hands in the air when war pigs started playing, i just know Ozzy would’ve loved it. I’m so glad I got to see these absolute legends perform in person, and hope to go see them again! 🙏❤️ RIP Ozzy, the prince of darkness, forever in our hearts.
Riverbend Music Center Cincinnati, OHPriest were in top form last night here in Phoenix… Halford’s vocals were stellar these 50 plus years on!… A vocal powerhouse who has taken great care of his instrument, knowing when to save it, then unleashing his signature range and screams when it demanded!… Incredible tour de force mastery! … being a guitarist, it was amazing to see the mighty Faulkner shredding his fingers off only a few short months after a major heart attack and surgery! Brilliant playing!… The best part of the show was saved for last when out walked a true guitar legend and god… Glenn Tipton for the final encores!! What a night!
Arizona Federal Theatre Phoenix, AZQueensryche was ok. Priest is always phenomenal, despite not having original guitarists. Rob picks his spots where he can hit the high notes. He's a bit lazy with the lyrics, and very laid back now onstage. But it's Priest, so. Our seats weren't as good as I thought they would be. One of the hanging strands of speakers was right in line with Ian Hill, so I did not see him at all. Also couldn't see drummer Scott Travis. Wish I had known that when I bought them, I woukd have picked another section, but hard to know that stuff.
Wings Event Center Kalamazoo, MIAh’mazing!!!! I’ve seen them a dozen times starting in 86’ till present day and It was not only nostalgic but on point 💟 the fact that Rob Halford is 70 years old and can still hit those high notes is unbelievable on a sidenote Queensrÿche killed it the throaty undertones that were woven into the music gave me chills! I brought my daughter with me and it was her first time seeing Judas Priest and she said it was almost a surreal experience hearing the music that she grew up with all her life ,she loved it!!!
Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall Los Angeles, CAAlways a pleasure to see and hear these guys with their hard hitting brand of metal. They did a great cross section of songs from their massive catalog complete with screaming vocals and shredding guitars! Uriah Heep opened the concert and it was great to see and hear these guys as well who were a forerunner of if not an inventer of the metal genre itself. Not only that but in their five decade long career they are still creating new music to this day! In a nutshell a stonking good time!
