Your hosts are back with an episode of firsts: the first time they look at a cover performed by Judas Priest, and the first non-album (bonus) track on this show. "Race with the Devil" was originally a song by Gun in 1968, with the Judas Priest cover recorded in 1978 and unreleased until 2001 as a bonus track on the CD remasters. Tom and George drool over the groove of the guitar riff, Les Binks' impeccable drum fills, Rob Halford's soaring vocals, and compare the Judas Priest cover favorably to the Gun original.
And of course, this podcast would be remiss if we didn't wish a big ol' round of congratulations to Judas Priest for their recent announcement as a 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee! Your hosts give their initial reactions to the news and address some criticisms of the Hall, with a positive spin.
