GENE SIMMONS “Priest has always meant one thing - take no prisoners. For decades. Across one continent to the next, they have never wavered in their commitment to treating the Stage as Holy Ground. Do not tread lightly there. This is a place reserved for the few. The proud. The mighty. A toast then, to a band that has given its all to the fans. And the magic will continue when the next 15 year old puts on his first Priest record, pumps his fist in the air and is instantly transported to a land where only Metal Gods roam.” JOE ELLIOTT DIAMONDS AND RUST “I’ve always been intrigued as to why JP would cover a Joan Baez song, but the more I think about it, the more I think why not ??!! It has muscle and melody, my two favourite ingredients in a rock song, a great chordal riff and the lyrics stand out as they're not your typical rock fodder. The way Rob belts the vocal out especially on the live version just sucks you in and the band rip through the song with all the power you could ever wish for!! I still play it a lot nowadays, it just does it for me...” STEVE VAI DISSIDENT AGGRESSOR "This track contains all of the band’s best elements rolled into one. The ripping solo, Rob’s signature vocals and harmonies along with the groove, paved the way for a career of leather metal destruction. This track was the audio calling card for a new generation of brutal-cool, and it’s still slamming after 35 years!” GEOFF TATE, QUEENSRYCHE DISSIDENT AGGRESSOR “Before we were Queensryche we were a cover band called The Mob. This is the first Judas Priest song we ever learned. I loved performing this song and it still remains my personal favorite to this day.” ACCEPT EXCITER “This is the sort of track that sums up just why Priest are the pioneers of heavy metal. Fast, furious, energetic. It helped to define so much that would happen later.” LARS ULRICH, METALLICA BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH “The blueprint for the epic rock ballad. Copied thousands of times, never eclipsed.” KERRY KING, SLAYER DELIVERING THE GOODS "I could pick a dozen Judas Priest songs! Favorite band of all time. Picking one is far more difficult. Favorite album - Stained Class. Favorite song...being put on the spot I'd have to say Delivering The Goods off Hell Bent For Leather. Great song for all the reasons I like Priest. Killer riffs, killer lead into my favorite lead break they've ever done, straight into taking the song in a complete different direction. Awesome.” DAVID COVERDALE THE GREEN MANALISHI (WITH THE TWO-PRONGED CROWN) “I’m a huge fan of Peter Green and the original Fleetwood Mac and Priest of course. There are too many Priest songs to choose from, but they covered one of my favorite songs of all time, Green Manalishi (with the Two-Pronged Crown) and did a masterly job of it. That is right up there as one of my personal faves. Not only did they master that song but they went on to cover Diamonds & Rust by Joan Baez, another song that I loved. Great stuff!" RANDY BLYTHE, LAMB OF GOD THE GREEN MANALISHI (WITH THE TWO-PRONGED CROWN) "While the true meaning of the lyrics to Fleetwood Mac’s The Green Manalishi are apocryphal, the song has always seemed well, sinister to me. In the hands of The Metal Gods the tune becomes elevated to frightening. I still don’t know exactly what the The Green Manalishi is or what it does with the two pronged crown, but after hearing Halford’s snarling version, I sure as hell don’t want to meet it in a dark alley. Hail Priest!" OZZY OSBOURNE THE RIPPER "This has always been one of my favorite Judas Priest songs. Ever since I was a boy I’ve been fascinated with the story of Jack the Ripper. I just want to know what the fuck that note is that Rob Halford hits in the beginning of the song. Fucking hell!! That note is probably just below what only dogs can hear." JAMES HETFIELD, METALLICA VICTIM OF CHANGES “The many landscapes of the song takes me on an epic journey.” LEMMY, MOTÖRHEAD BREAKING THE LAW “My favorite Priest track was always Breaking the Law- so much so that we recorded it for a Priest tribute album! And my father was a priest too!!! Which proves it only goes to show!!!” VINNIE PAUL, PANTERA RAPID FIRE “Judas Priest are the ultimate British heavy metal band!!! To me they were what the words Heavy Metal meant!!! When British Steel came out in 1980 it was the heaviest and most influential album I’d ever heard...It was such an influence on my brother Dimebag Darrell that he had a necklace with the British Steel razor blade made and he wore it his entire life. My favorite track off that album is Rapid Fire, the title said it all!!! The machine-gun guitar riff was so fuckin’ heavy and the pounding drums were sick!!! The lyrics and Rob’s vocal performance are heavy metal brilliance!!! Pounding the world like a battering ram, forging the furnace for the final grand slam!!! That my friends is HEAVY METAL!!! It was an honor and a lesson to get to tour with The Priest all over Europe in 1990 on the Painkiller tour and I would like to thank Rob, Glenn, Ian, K.K. and Scott for being such an influence on my life and for always being British Steel!!!” ZAKK WYLDE, OZZY / BLACK LABEL SOCIETY GRINDER “This was the first Judas Priest song I learned how to play on the guitar. Not only did Glenn and K.K. have awesome riffs and solos to learn as an aspiring guitarist, the songs were always KILLER!!! Album after album their guitar work never ceased to amaze me. The guitar tones, the playing, everything - but aside from Priest's awesome musicianship and Rob’s amazing vocals was their phenomenal song writing. That’s why they’ve stood the test of time and have become the legendary band they are today, tomorrow and will be forever more. Thanks guys for the killer guitar lessons and the timeless KICK-ASS music!!! Disciple of the ALMIGHTY PRIEST.” ALICE COOPER LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT “For a metal band, Priest has always used tons of melody... when you have a singer as great as Rob Halford, you have to write great riffs WITH great melodies, you can’t just have riffs. Living After Midnight is the perfect example. This is Judas Priest’s most memorable anthem. This is every metal head’s party song, because naturally...the party always starts after midnight. Actually I think Rob has been to most of those parties.” GEEZER BUTLER, BLACK SABBATH LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT “I know it was one of JP's most popular songs, but I love the energy in that song. When Priest were on the Ozzfest with Sabbath, that was one of the songs I used to watch every night. It’s so full of energy, and it’s one of the few songs in this world where the audience goes nuts, the other bands on the bill go nuts, and everyone’s road crew goes nuts. It's the ultimate party song, ultimate get you in the mood to rock song, ultimate great metal song. One of my favorite songs of all time - metal or not.” SLASH, GUNS N’ ROSES / VELVET REVOLVER SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE “Judas Priest have put out their fair share of great albums to be sure. But my all time favorite is Screaming For Vengeance. It was and still is, one of the best metal records ever produced and the title track is in my humble opinion, still ahead of its time.” COREY TAYLOR, SLIPKNOT YOU’VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMIN’ “Judas Priest: the blueprint for the ultimate heavy metal band. Screaming twin guitars, a pounding rhythm section and the singer with the best range EVER. And it all comes together on You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’. This song has the perfect driving beat, a brilliant vocal and lyrical delivery and a solo that could either be a banshee or a beautiful melody. And anyone who remembers the video will agree Rob Halford and the boys will definitely make your head explode - or at the very least make your head bang like crazy.” KLAUS MEINE, SCORPIONS YOU’VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMIN’ “This song reminds me of the time when we've shared the stage with them all over the US back in the 80’s. It’s the perfect Arena Anthem - Glenn & K.K.’s guitar attack & Rob’s ear shattering vocals were made in Heavy Metal Heaven just to leave the fans screaming for more. Great Riff, Great Hook from a Great Band. Rock on mighty Priest.” CHRIS JERICHO, FOZZY THE SENTINEL “This song is the epitome of what I love about Priest songs - fast and heavy with an amazing riff - but this track had something special that differentiated it from all the other brilliant Priest tunes - a gaggle of kickass tempo changes that anchor it. From the ominous intro, to the cruising verse and chorus, to the crushing harmony guitar lead, to the funeral dirge of a breakdown, The Sentinel always kept me on the edge of my metal chair. Throw in Halford’s soaring vocals (and awesome pronunciation of the song’s protagonist. Sayn-Ten-Ell) and you have the ingredients for my favorite Priest track of all time!” JONATHAN DAVIS, KORN TURBO LOVER “I dug it because of the synthesizers in there. I wasn’t really into heavy metal at the time, but I liked it because I heard that synth in the beginning and it hooked me. I loved how they mixed that with heavy metal on the track - it kind of worked as a gateway drug into metal for me.” JOE SATRIANI PAINKILLER “This has been one of my all time favorite Judas Priest tracks since its release in 1990. This song has so much crushing energy from the band, wild screaming vocals, and great rhythm and solo guitar work by Glenn and K.K. It's unstoppable!” SHIPPING TO USA ONLY Buyer Pays Shipping $3.99 1st CD $3.99... each additional $1.50 CDs will only be combined with other CDs or DVDs To qualify for the combined discount, all items must be purchased together, paid for with 1 payment, and shipped all together in 1 shipment.
