Amazon.co.uk After years of hard touring with an excessive show that saw leather-clad singer Rob Halford drive a Harley onstage, Judas Priest became one of the Eighties' most popular live draws. Named after Bob Dylan's "The Ballad of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest", they were one of the UK's original heavy metal acts, their sound instantly recognisable due to the shrieking, snarling Halford's multi-octaval range and the intertwining, sometimes duelling guitars of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. Consistently controversial, they moved through spiteful rock and roll ("Sinner"), to extended and explosive prog-rock ("Beyond The Realms Of Death") and on to stadium-pleasing chants ("Living After Midnight") and yet more aggressive efforts marked by the arrival of Metallica and death metal ("Freewheel Burnin")--all of it covered by this exhaustive double CD. After Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, the West Midlands' third finest metal band--high praise indeed. --Dominic Wills Product description CD: Judas Priest,Metal Works '73-'93
