Judas Priest Tickets featuring Testament in Seattle

By: Spencer    Category: Concerts, Wamu Theater at Qwest Field Tickets

One of the earliest Rock bands is coming to Seattle. Judas Priest is straight out of the 70’s and they want to see you. Come to the WaMu Theater for the show. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Judas Priest have influenced all metal music since the late-mid 70s either directly or indirectly. Their influence was so important that MTV.com named Judas Priest the second most important band in heavy metal, just behind Black Sabbath.

In addition to the sound, Judas Priest are also known for being revolutionaries in heavy metal fashion. Rob Halford began incorporating a macho/biker/S&M style into his look as early as 1978 (to coincide with the release of their album Killing Machine), and the rest of the band followed. It became a mainstay in heavy metal; soon, several other bands, particularly of the NWOBHM and early black metal movements, began incorporating Halford’s fashion into their look as well. This sparked a revival in metal in the early ’80s, and catapulted them to fame, in both the mainstream and underground. Even in the present, it is not uncommon to find metal artists sporting such a look at concerts.

On few occasions Judas Priest music has also served as score music to serve the heavy metal cliché. A good example is an episode of the German crime investigation series Derrick called “Verlorene Wuerde” (German for “Lost Dignity”), first aired May, 31st, 1991. In this episode a young drug addict is also a fan of heavy metal music. As he is quizzed by the police in his apartment, “Painkiller” by Judas Priest and “Psycho Holiday” by Pantera plays from the stereo system.
