About time this phenomenal guitarist - and my favourite - was covered. His epic, melody-driven solos take you on a journey - especially his longer ones. Just so much quality: Beyond the Realms of Death, Locked In, Reckless, Heavy Metal, A Touch of Evil, Electric Eye, I'm a Rocker. Painkiller, One Shot at Glory, Stained Class, Rock Hard, Ride Free.

Glenn Tipton, the greatest metal guitarist of all time.

Agreed

Judus Priest was one of favorite bands growing up hearing them for the first time around the age of 11 in 1976 .a few years later a friend of mine that also played the guitar was playing to their live album "Unleashed In The East" learning to play songs like "Victim Of Changes" "Dimonds And Rust" "The Ripper" And The "Green Manalishi" (With A Two Pronged Crown) .IMO this album is one of the greatest Heavy Metal Guitar Albums of all time and my all time favorite live Record with Pat Travers Bands "Go For What You Know" being my 2nd and Randy Rhoads Tribute rounding out my top 3 of all time .I got the chance to see them live in 1982 or 83 on the Screaming For Vengeance tour in Hollywood Florida .I was 17 and lived in Orlando at the time when a friend of mine that lived about 60 miles away in Satellite Beach FL called me and said he and his brother were gonna drive the the 200 or so miles south to go see them and if I wanted to go I just needed to get the 60 miles to his house by 1pm .I didn't have a car yet and me and my best friend that lived across the street did wat we always did back then if we didn't have a ride and that was hitchhike .so we set out walking to Interstate 4 about 5 miles from our houses and caught a ride immediately with some surfers that were going to Cocoa Beach which was just like 7 miles north of Satellite Beach so we stopped and called my buddy and told him to pick us up right in the center medium on I-95 at 1pm and the surfers drove us the extra few miles and as we got to the Satellite Beach exit ramp they were parked in the grass medium of the north and south 4 lane interstate lol we hoped in the back of his Toyota 4 wheel drive and away we went to Hollywood Florida .we got there a couple hours early to make sure we got tickets before they sold out which it did sellout shorty before the Civic Center doors opened at 7pm so yeah I can't remember now who opened up for Judus Priest that night but do remember wat a awesome awesome show they put on .Kk and Glenn were unbelievable and Rob Halford was exactly like he was on the Unleashed In The East record .and when Rob rode out on his Harley Davison Motorcycle right on the stage the crowd when CRAZY .was a show I've never forgotten about 41 years ago .

Great solo, but Beyond The Realms Of Death always gives me chills.

I am glad to know that RORY GALLAGHER was his major guitar influence . RORY has been a favorite of mine since I saw him perform " In Your Town " on the Midnight Special in the early 70s . I was lucky enough to see RORY open for RUSH in Denver on his Jinx tour . I was literally heartbroken when I learned he had passed away while undoing a liver x -plant . Roy is a GOD of Rock And Roll Guitarists and needs to be brought to the forefront of all Rock & Roll fans !!!!!

As great as Tipton is on his own, he definitely benefited having Downing at his side.They had very different styles that complemented each other nicely, and the two of them wrote so many good songs, and weren't afraid to go in new directions with each new album; other than Screaming/Defenders, you never heard the same album back to back, and with those two, I didn't mind because they're both so good. As much as they innovated early on, they kept up with what was going on and incorporated elements of bands that they influenced. Some of my friends were freaking out over the thrash and death metal influences on Jugulator, for me I was grinning ear-to-ear start to finish, especially the epic "Cathedral Spires" to finish it off. 1982 was the year I decided to pick up guitar, based on Screaming For Vengeance and Number of the Beast; everything I said about Glenn and KK applies to Dave and Adrian as well, except for the constant changes in musical direction.

I agree. Thanks for watching and the comment.

With every new album, Tipton's tecjniques and fretboard prowess improved immensely, While Ken's solos seemed to stagnate for some reason. The last great album they did was Defenders, where both guitarist's were on par with each other. Eventually though, Ken's guitar work never seemed to improve. Even on Painkiller, Glen's solo was 4x longer than Ken's, absolutely by choice. Not saying that Ken was bad, he just wasn't in the same calibre as Glen.

@@greatguitaristoftherockera2833 Pretty much, yeah.

Back when I saw Priest in the 80’s alongside the Scorpions, MSG etc. these bands came under rock/metal. Then came the thrash metal bands like Metallica, Slayer and the like which kind of became Metal, meaning fast chugging rock, a completely different kind of music IMO. I don’t think of Glenn Tipton as a metal guitarist, his best playing was all the albums up to Point of Entry, which is much more rooted in blues influenced rock and roll/heavy rock. Nothing like modern metal like Slipknot etc. Anyway, nice tribute and it’s well deserved.

Thanks for the comment and for watching. I agree what was considered metal back then is a lot different than metal now.

In the world of hard rock and metal, we always here the names of Eddie, Randy, Satch, Vai, Lynch, Yngwie, etc and they all deserve their notoriety. Tipton and Downing never quite seem to get their just due. Being a band that helped shape the sound of metal, we always here about Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica but I can almost guarantee that when you ask any professional metal musician who is the prototype metal band that 99% of them will say Judas Priest.
