Judas Priest

Who knows. That one sounds pretty robotic. Perhaps I'm a Rocker and Monsters of Rock (as well). The latter has some unreal effects on the drums, but it might be real playing. Especially the faster stuff on the album sounds drum machine in my ears.

Sorry but I don't like it. As I said, Delivering The Goods is a much better song - I hope they'll keep it in the setlist.
It has so many other better songs.

I'm not a big fan of Priest albums in the 70's.

No problem mate, it's fine.
Delivering the goods is one of the greatest. To me Sin after Sin, Stained Class, Killing Machine and Unleashed in the East hasn't bad songs, even the fillers are f***ing great.

A lot of it sounds robotic. I thought I’d go off fills as obvious signs of drum machines but then I remembered it’s Dave Holland is who didn’t fill much anyway. He’s already pretty robotic as that’s the type of drum sound they were going for at the time.

That is an ultra rare live track.

True.

It is on a platinum album, but in a live environment yes. Perhaps only played once, live. No footage.

Wrong. It's the second worst song on the album (after ''Pain And Pleasure'') - so it cannot be a (hidden) gem! It has an ok chorus, but that's it IMO.

Fun fact: ''(Take These) Chains'' and ''Some Heads Are Gonna Roll'' are the only 2 songs in Priest discography that are not written by any of the band members.

Now I don't know to what extent it is accurate...
