No offense to any al atkins fans, but it seems to me hes just trying to get what money he can by using song that are not really his songs anymore. It would be better for him to write new songs
all this mocking Al Atkins!! shame on u all!!!!!!!
Al is a really cool guy and at the end of day he sings Heavy Metal..was the lead singer of JP and he co wrote some of the material..so he`s every right to enjoy himself!!
@BertoKing yea no kidding and if you see that guy the ex iron maiden dennis stratton too he left maiden due to musical differences with steve harris ,but later 30 year after the guy loves playing running free and all other stuff from the first iron maiden album
This what needs to take place more....older wolves.....who still can wipe away the younger wilder ones....I'd love to see a resurgence of this type of never say die faith
Lol, he's really not that bad, his voice is just a little more aggressive... and also he's much older in this video. In the 70's he was probably just as good.. He reminds me of Iron Maiden's first singer actually. Just because it's not Rob Halford it's automatically horrible with you people, lol
@fenixmaker i agree with you.i mean he never had a chance to sing in an album.but i must admit he ended up with good songs on rockarolla.its the best thing he did back on 73.leave the vacant for rob halford,
May I say somthing? That was crap, may I ALSO SAY. Now, wait and see guys. BECAUSE Al will always be a ledgend. NEVER take that away from him. More to come.
That must be one of the mysteries and powers to a metal god. Think if KK played like ''WHAT THE ****! THIS IS AMAZING!!' and then he couldn't play. Good that it aint happening
This guy is playing metal now? he was playing jazz and blues up to even the 90's, he wasn't into the whole thing Priest were/are...at the time he left priest they were still playing blues maybe with some stints of rock so how come he's playing metal now? I think he's using the Priest name again to promote himself...
@DakotaLipscomb It wasn't really 100% blues rock,it was hard rock with some traces of blues rock,which is far from the pure blues that Black Sabbath played in the late 60s(under the name Earth).
@timmy2095 I dont think that came out right, what i mean is old dianno is great new dianno not so great

@rockactualizate Well Al isn't really "trying" if he's the one who wrote the song. He's just doing it the way he wrote it. That said, I still agree

@TheGuruOfTime I think you are mistaking Priest for Black Sabbath.they never played blues and this is the first song they wrote.

@Videostar1another1fa They were originally a blues rock band in the very early days. You can even find evidence of this in their debut album.
