Judas priest: Victim of Changes from their Sad Wings of Destiny album. A suitably pompous title for an equally epic song, showcasing all their strengths: Halfords outrageous vocal stylings, Downing and Tiptons tight riffs and solos, and also a slightly unusual dynamic range. from soft and emo to absolutely raging in less than 8 minutes. British steel FTW!
Next is Black Sabbath: Never Say die. This is a version from Ozzy's Speak of the Devil live album, which is basically all Black Sabbath songs played by the Ozzsters pretty freakin' awesome band. Sort of the best live album BS never made.
Deep Purple: My Woman from Tokyo. A lot funkier and more restrained than their usual output, this just boogies out and get's on with the job. Originally from their Who Do We Think We Are LP.
Van Halen: Panama. Everybody else is always going on about Jump and Hot for Teacher from the 1984 album. For me it's all about Panama. David Lee Roth was the embodiment of 80's California.
AC/DC: '74 Jailbreak. Bon Scott could do no wrong. RIP.
Megadeth: Wake Up Dead. First track on their first album, where Dave Mustaine shows that he doesn't really need those losers in that other band. Lyrics about coming home drunk and being scared that your wife will kill you are cool, especially if you get them over and done with in about 2 seconds and then just proceed to riff out for the rest of the song. Who misses Lars anyway?
Pantera: Mouth for War. This video is just so gay.
Rock on!
