Johnny B. Goode

hey yall, did you know Chuck Berry covered this Judas Priest song???? Hahahaha! I was strolling through youtube watching rock videos from my fav bands, when i came across this old gem. I couldnt believe it, i hadnt heard it in 15 years, forgot how much i liked it. so anyways i was reading the comments and some yayhole asked that question, i couldnt help giggle uncontrolably. I just kept going, my wife finally came over and looked. She is certain i was dropped on my head during my formative years! enjoy! Dan

I had never heard the Judas Priest version...I have to say I like the Chuck Berry version much more. It was an interesting interpretation however.

Not bad, you don't get much more 80s hair metal than that. JP kicks ***, though, they were up here last month and of course I didn't have the spare cash to go-

YouTube - Iron Maiden-The trooper videoclip - Here's some of the best metal ever. Priest definitely kicks, so does Maiden. I have a ton of metal (the good crap before the chick orient "metal" bands showed up) burned on a CD in the truck.. play it 'til my ears bleed. Nugent kick **** too... before he became a political tool. Strangehold is arguably one of the top metal tunes ever, with some incredible guitar.

Yup. Maiden kicks ****. Definitely. 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Piece of Mind' are the two best albums, I think. Their song "The Prisoner" off of the 'Beast' album ROCKS!

That's who I started with: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Black Sabbath.....And though they're not metal; Rush and Van Halen also.

Alright, Jared....You mentioned (as did Ken), the 'hair' metal......

Now THESE guys (below) are pretty hairy.....But they are most definitely NOT a hair band! Motorhead. 'Ace of Spades'. Enjoy.

Neat, i like it, i havent listened to JP for along time. I used to really enjoy the gutiar playing that sang a song in itself.

I love motorhead, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_JF8...eature=related and I really have always liked this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VXy4Z6IkWQ

Motorhead kicks *** pretty good, I do like most of the early metal like that though. What they are passing as metal now that's just screaming and yelling is a bit more than I can take. Then there's this guy:

What was so great about Rush was their song writing, just incredible. Van Halen... not metal, not really hair, just hard stuff. Eddie could wail back then. Sabbath... nothing bad to say abou them, some really great but simple riffs (ACDC is another example of simple riffs that they pieced together so well).

With priest I have to be careful... Screaming for Vengence and Breakin the Law, too easy to drive way to fast!

Alright Dan....You asked for it! (haha)

Ken already mentioned the Nuge, so here goes.....

Here's a great vid of the motor city madman doing 'Cat Scratch Fever' live---1978....

Starts out scratchy, but good and clean after a few seconds.....

YouTube - Ted Nugent "Cat Scratch Fever" 1978

The Nuge was a masterful 70s ax man......no doubt.....

Me too!

I pictured Ken vegging to some Brahms, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven......And Sheldon?.......Strictly a 'grunge' man imbibing intoxicating substances to the sounds of bands like Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana......

Just a 'technical' note.....

I think the contribution of Judas Priest to 'Metal' was the presence of 2 lead guitarists---meant to complement each other in the rhythm (to make it 'heavier', if you will), and trading off doing the soloes......

I think that traditionally, there was either 1 guitarist (a la Eddie van Halen), or 1 rhythm guitarist and 1 lead guitarist.....

Priest set the stage for the metal resurgence in the 80s.....No doubt......Their 'British Steel' album is classic.......
