艺人介绍

犹大圣徒(Judas Priest)是一个重金属乐队,在1968年成立于英国中部的西北方,靠近伯明翰市的地方。他们曾被誉为“重金属历史上最伟大的乐队”。乐队是5人阵容——拥有开创性的双吉他K.K.Dowing和Glenn Tipton,贝司手Ian Hill,最伟大的(没有之一)重金属主唱Rob Halford和数不清的鼓手。Judas Priest的双吉他是开创性的,在他们之前从没有哪支重金属乐队能把双吉他运用得如此丰富,甚至之后也很少有人能做的像K.K.Dowing和Glenn Tipton那样出色。Judas Priest作为第2代重金属的代表乐队,是从重金属最低迷的时期开始其传奇经历的。不敢说他们对重金属的承上启下起了多么决定性的作用,但是作为NWOBHM原型乐队,和Motorhead、BUDGIE一起引领了伟大的英国新浪潮重金属运动,对重金属的发展作出了巨大贡献。他们被认为对许多重金属乐手以及乐队具有影响力。在重金属乐队中他们受欢迎的程度以及地位使得他们获得了“金属上帝”的称号。至今为止在全世界的专辑销售量已超过三千五百万张。

Judas Priest are an English heavy metal band formed in Birmingham, England in 1969. Known for twin lead guitars, a wide operatic vocal style, and for introducing the S&M leather-and-studs look into heavy metal, they have sold over 50 million albums worldwide. The band is widely recognised as one of the finest and most original heavy metal bands of all time, with many artists within the genre having cited them as a major influence. MTV ranked them the second &Greatest Metal Band& of all time.

Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the late 1970s, the band struggled with indifferently-produced records, repeated changes at the drummer position, and a lack of major commercial success or attention until 1980 when they adopted a more simplified sound on the album British Steel, which helped shoot them to rock superstar status. In 1989, they were named as defendants in an unsuccessful lawsuit alleging that subliminal messages on their albums had caused the suicide attempts of two young men.

The band's membership has seen much turnover, including a revolving cast of drummers in the 1970s, and the temporary departure of singer Rob Halford in the early 1990s. The current line-up consists of lead vocalist Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis. The band's best-selling album is 1982's Screaming for Vengeance featuring their most commercially successful line-up, Rob Halford (lead vocals), K. K. Downing (guitar), Glenn Tipton (guitar), Ian Hill (bass), and Dave Holland (drums). The band has finished work on a new album, which is expected to be released sometime in 2014.

They were a major influence on multiple genres of metal, including but not limited to power metal and thrash metal. Their influence, while mainly Rob Halford's operatic vocal style (widely considered as one of the most unique vocalists in the genre) and the twin guitar sound of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, has been adopted by many bands. Their image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing were widely influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. Their 1980 album, British Steel, has been referred to as the &record that, more than any other, codified what we mean by &heavy metal&. Despite a decline in exposure during the mid 1990s, the band has once again seen a resurgence, including worldwide tours, being inaugural inductees into the VH1 Rock Honors in 2005, receiving a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2010, and their songs featured in video games such as Guitar Hero and the Rock Band series.
