My favorite solo is from the criminally underrated (I hate using that word, but it's needed here) "Reckless". It doesn't get played live and seems it's forgotten by Priest. It's so melodic, it brings tears to the eyes 😭.

Randy Rhoads is my guy. I can't play guitar worth shit. I mean I can play it. Put my hands where they should be on the neck, pick the proper strings, and it still sounded like hell. After 2 years of guitar lessons (14-15) (and I was actually a damn good trumpet/French Horn player in band - but that really doesn't count does it? lol) I told my guitar teacher I was "thinking about taking a break". The first words out of his mouth before thinking was "Thank God"! LOL The majority of the songs I "learned" was Judas Priest. Back then, and still today my favorite metal band. But I didn't give up. I worked all summer, saved and bought my first drum set at 16 (brand new too. $1,800 in like 1990. My family wanted to kill me. lol Life's too short to play shitty instruments or have shitty half ass stereo equipment! At home or in the car!). Still playing drums and have a pretty nice Pearl Birch set with Zildjian and Sabien B20 bronze cymbals right now with the Pearl eliminator pedals. Pretty sweet. . Always spent more on my cymbals than my drums, because I didn't want to sound like I was playing trash can lids! Even on my first set. . Now I "can" play those bloody things pretty good! LOL! Still can't play guitar. No Dave Grohl here. But, it did teach me about the guitar, and learn to read the music, so it still helped my overall musical ability. More drummers should learn how to read regular music and at least "try" with another instrument for that reason. Understanding song structure, and melody is always a good thing. (PS An amazing metal album from Greece: Sakis Tolis - Among the Fires of Hell (in English). Solo album released free on KZread, and I'd say best metal album 20121. And if you are not familiar with 2 Japanese bands: Bandmaid - Thrill. 5 piece all girl band that is just something else (in English). And Ningen Isu - The Battle of the Deities, or Heartless Scat for introduction. They are a 3 piece metal band and been around for awhile. But in the last 7-8 years really came into their own and have some very good and consistent song writing (in Japanese). Lastly gotta mention another Greek band "Villagers of Ioannina City - Age of Aquarius. Best rock album 2022 (in English). The entire album, their sophomore release is excellent. Not a bad song on it, and a good journey concept album (in English).(sorry but for something completely different, can't even describe her except she's good. Amelia Arsenic - "oxytocin" and "Purity". Really most of her stuff is pretty good, and something not like the others. lol You might like her. Most everybody I turn her on to do.) I'm also a pretty big Pendulum and Knife Party fan too. I think Rob Swire is one of the best overall musicians, song writers, andartists out there these days.(For something hardcore Pendulum - Witchcraft Rob Swire D and B remix. It hits hard and is a good way to challenge your stereo system!). Disclaimer: All songs best enjoyed turned up and "felt" not just "heard". LOL! Take care and keep on Rockin' my friend! Life without music (and drums) would be a Mistake!

I've always seen him as criminally underrated. His solos maintain a melodic feel as well as a storytelling aspect that is in many ways was never matched by other more recognized guitarists. His solos never serve solely as a technical showcase, and even when the solos got more complex they always served to take the song to new places and in many cases added even more depth to some already great songs.

As a fan, it’s still difficult to come to terms with the reality that he really can’t play anymore - and that there’s no way back, no medical treatment, no help. All things end, but the goods have been delivered and we - none of us - will forget what GT gave to our lives and to metal music. The encores he does with the band now, they’re so bittersweet, equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. In the end, time takes everything from us.

I think you hit the nail on the head... Glenn pushed himself more-and-more each album. He both innovated himself and adopted innovations others made. The solos on the Painkiller album were musically brilliant, and so unique that it really led guitar players like me to think "How can someone actually play what he just played?" My favorite Glenn Tipton solo is probably Hell Bent for Leather. Maybe Painkiller, but I feel like his solos in Painkiller are almost entire songs themselves.

REALLY enjoyed that, great to hear the isolated guitar. As far as favourite solos go, I've always liked the one in 'Loch Ness' (yes, I know...). There is a bit with just a couple of drawn-out notes that I think is truly beautiful, but hey, it's Glenn Tipton, so it's all great.

Tipton is my favorite heavy metal guitar player since I was 14 years old (I’m 36 now). He’s the total package: feeling, technic, sound, composition… If I listened to some other metal guitarrist who was better than him in some aspect, this same guitarrist lost to him in all others.

I saw Priest on tour in the mid-80s. The barricade in front of the stage gave way when they took the stage, and Glenn looked a bit concerned at first. I was practically at his feet! But he and KK blew my freaking mind that night!

As other's have said, probably one of the most under rated guitarists in metal. Everyone always talks about Eddie, Randy, Dime, Zakk, Vai, Satch, Hetfield/Hammett, Mustaine, even Murray/Smith are talked about more than Glenn and KK. Absolutely nothing wrong with mentioning those names, but both Glenn and KK deserve so much more for what they can do on the axe and for their contribution to metal guitar. The 2 of them pioneered the twin guitar attack in metal, took what Tony did and gave it that edge and precision that helped broaden the sound of metal. They brought it out of the blues and in simple terms...straight into metal. Too many great solo's and riffs to merely pick one, but one of my fave's of Glenn's would be the solo from All Guns Blazing, KK's I'm thinking his solo in Jawbreaker or his into to Metal Meltdown.

I’ve been shredding for 42 years. Thanks to GT showing the way. Always improving, blending musical styles. While the also great KK was a bit flashier and drew attention, I was staring at Glenn’s hands wondering “Isn’t anybody else hearing this?!” 🤟⭐️🤯😅

Always loved Glenn's abstract and eclectic style along with bringing the nastiness and sleaze, a true innovator in metal and on top of that he's a phenomenal rhythm player a lot of people overlook that aspect, he's a well rounded player no doubt ...🤘☠️🎸

God damn it! No one should be allowed to be that good looking and that talented at the same time!

Glenn and KK developed a new guitar sound. It was a magic time at the end of the 70s. Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Uli Jon Roth, George Lynch, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest re-invented the rock-guitar.

Tipton's solo I've listened to more than any other is 'A Touch of Evil', back to back with 'Beyond the Realms of Death'. To be honest, Tipton kinda vehiculated neoclassical nuances in Heavy Rock/Metal writing 'The Ripper', which, btw, hasn't even got an actual solo.

By far the best heavy metal guitar player of all time. I don't have only one favorite solo by him.

Favorite guitarist as I've heard his solos more than any other guitarist in history. By far the greatest, spine-tingling solo of all time, is his work on Beyond The Realms Of Death. Still gives me the chills to this day, 40-years later!

Glenn is the creator of the Heavy Metal sound we all grew to love in the early 80's and to this day still rocks this 56 year old guitar player out! Glenn Tipton you are in my top ten for sure!

I owe Glenn a debt of gratitude. During the Angel of Retribution tour I brought some of my JP record albums to the show. I waived them around and they must have caught Glenn’s eye. During their curtain call I rushed to the stage. Glenn reached out and signed my Screaming for Vengeance album. My dad had Parkinson’s too. Sucks.

I've always said Glenn is one of the best guitarists in the genre

Hands down . 😂 Back in a 80s , everyone went to American guitarists to be the number 1 and being promoted in medias as Top guitar heros. I do admit there are many great American guitarists were there that great to be that . But none of them came close to it's craftiness as Glenn Tipton. My ears 👂 didn't lie . And I'm still proud & knowing and leaning towards to listening Judas Priest for all these years. It resonates me when I needed courage, when I'm facing tough times , even when I'm facing live or die situations Judas Priest music put me thru it . Thank you Mr. Glenn Tipton and all the band members who created Judas Priest music.

*For me, it would be **_Dreamer._** There's just so much tragedy and anguish in it, and he really makes you feel it..., plus, the way Rob's vocals harmonize with it..., it gives me goosebumps...

THAT is pure oldschool rocktone...*

As someone who has been practicing a few of Glen Tipon’s riffs, I really appreciate the isolation. It’s great to hear his tone!

I have been a huge JP fan my whole life and have always thought that KK and Tipton were the all time best guitar duo leads by Tipton are tasty and always like the lead as much as the song and more. Jp are my all time favorite with Megadeth a second just always good guitar work better than the rest even if not the most technical!!! They made me play guitar for my whole life. Cheers and good health to them all

Glen Tipton is a true Legend in the Heavy metal world. I Love Judas Priest. !

It's him and Marty Friedman as best lead players for me. You see the progression with Tipton on all their albums. His playing becomes incredible around the Defenders Era. He was great before that.

Holy shit! I grew up with Priest, but always leaned towards Zep, The Who etc. I had no idea he was that good/great. I've been a player for nearly 4 decades and am blown away by those isolated tracks

Ram it down, all guns blazing, hard as iron. The duets with KK intro to Victim of Changes, Hell Rider, check out his solo album. I could go on and on

Glenn Tipton is my favorite guitarist. His playing is just so memorable and amazing. My favorite solos of him are Hell Bent for Leather, Delivering the Goods, A Touch of Evil, Electric Eye, Genocide, Painkiller, Sentinel, Fever, Living After Midnight, Desert Plains, White heat red hot, Metal Gods, and the all time best Beyond the Realms of Death. Glenn was always the main highlight every time i seen Priest. The only member I can watch play and feel starstruck. If i ever have the chance to meet him. I would give him the biggest hug possible and just say thank you for making all of the music with Priest. Really sucks that he has parkinson but the fact he still makes it for 3 songs when he feels good that day is just a treat itself. He doesn’t even have to play just show up and every real Priest fan will show the respect for him. I definitely cried that last time I seen Priest and they played No Surrender with Glenn at that same venue I first saw Priest 10 years back with the metal masters tour. Jones beach. My love with Judas Priest has never died in fact grows stronger every year. ALL HAIL THE METAL GODS!!

Glenn has so many memorable riffs, runs, fills, and leads that it's hard to pick just one. I love them all. Picking just one would be a disservice to Glenn. I will say this....Glenn is the best Metal Guitarist of all-time.

I love Glenn Tipton and combined with KK they were unstoppable best duo ever till KK went right out of his mind. Priest will always be my favorite band ever in the world, i've been listening them since 1979 and i won't stop till i'm dead. I feel so bad for Glenn, he's such an innovator in guitar and has influenced many many people over the years, but his light still shines and so does his passion. Rock on Glenn we love you

Throughout all the examples you chose for us listeners to hear, I was blown away by how creative and smart Tipton was .... thanks for the excellent work in gathering the recordings played here.

Happy 75th Birthday Glenn!

I'm glad someone else absolutely loves that one lick from screaming for vengeance

The greatest metal band of all time and in their prime with KK, one of the best (if not the best) guitar partnership there ever was, despite whatever issues they may have had behind scenes. Glenn did some fantastic tasteful stuff. Metal Pilgrim keep up the great work in these terrible times for your country...What software did you use to isolate the leads so clearly?

Riff: Delivering the Goods Solo: Metal Gods- I love the story about how that was conceived, as Glenn tells it, they had been at the pub prior to recording that solo. So many though, tough to pin down.

The lead on victim of changes is superb. Very clever on how he moves around that fretboard. He is no doubt by far my favorite guitars of all time.

Yes Glenn is the best! Just not enough people appreciate that! Might have got more recognition if he hadn't sung!!

Tipton is my main guitar hero, with a huge catalog of riffs to choose from. Painkiller is of course a masterpiece, but listen to the composition and skill on Between the Hammer and The Andvil. Simply amazing.

Judas Priest with Iron Maiden early 80’s maiden had Dianno at that time. Great show.

How are you isolating the guitar tracks? That is really cool. Keep up the great work!

Good God I love JP! Glenn's got the speed, melody, and the overall chops to be the best, in my opinion! Most importantly, he never seems to repeat himself!

Priest was my first introduction to metal. Their music never gets old.

Is he the best ? Yes ,the best ever !

And the take away from all this is that Glenn is gifted, he feels the music, the solos et al. The results are unique, melodic, soulful and emotional and to be fair, so are many of KK's just from a different perspective.

Glenn Tipton & Peter Green have always been 2 of my favorite guitarists (2 others include Denis D'Amour & Daniel Mongraine - both from Voivod).

I think my personal favorite is from A Touch Of Evil but truly, I love all of his work. I agree he's criminally underrated.

When it comes to Glenn's style I always have to think of Rob Halford saying that he plays leads the way someone would sing. That's kind of the perfect description. He adopted a lot of techniques over the year, like all the sweep picking later on but he always kept that sense of melody, a lot of feel in his bendings. He might not care about music theory but honestly, someone who has played piano always has some degree of understanding of music theory. The way a keyboard works you just can't help to learn some of it, it's like second hand smoking.

People like that say the don't know theory because they know how deep it can go. He wasn't analysing counterpoints in Baroque music. But any pianist knows more theory than 90% of guitarists.

My favorite band, for decades. Glenn is one of my all time favorite guitarists. Two of his absolute best are Beyond the Realms of Death, and Freewheel Burning

My favorite guitar soloist along with George Lynch and Van Halen. Perfect balance of technique and feel.

There is this unique aspect to the evolution of his playing where this locomotion in his runs really become prominent. Sort of a winding up like a train getting going-always felt so evocative of the midlands industry and felt really mechanical and transformer esque.

All his solos are incredible but beyond the realms of death is something from another world. I vote for that one

They as a unit, had expectations within each other, none would accept any sub-standard performance from each other. Only time anyone within unit were surprised would be if any member designated /particular performance wasn't stellar.

So glad somebody remember Glenn, I think many people don't know how great he is

Metal Pilgrim, How do you isolate the solos?? Great tribute to Glenn Tipton! He has been my favorite guitar player since before the first time that I saw Judas Priest in 1980.

He is one of my favorites….Perhaps at the top?… There will never be another like him.

My top three favorite guitarists, EVH, Ritche Blackmore, Glenn Tipton, beyond the realms of death and Dreamer Deceiver are my favorite Tipton solos

Glenn has been my favorite guitarist since I first heard JP in 1980-81. He's the reason I prefer melodic solos over pure shredding. I say that his solo on "Beyond the Realms of Death" is still the greatest guitar solo ever written! I sometimes wish I could play like him, but I never had the patience to properly learn to play lead guitar.

My favorite guitarist. Changed the game. His ease and flow is what amazes me. It’s his own style. Riff: Tyrant Solo: Painkiller

Has to be Painkiller. the whole album changed my life to some extent.

My favorite Glenn solo is from You've Got Another Thing Comin' -- is it simple, is it complex? Is it simple? Is it complex? It's amazingly simple! It's simply complex!

Such taste and feel (last "Victim of Changes" solo).He and Jeff Beck never stopped growing. It would be so easy to rest on laurels.
