This is put together rather well.Alot of people don't realize that Pat Boone has been famous since the 1950's.As a teen idol-he was probibly the equivalent to Bieber.No i'm not a Bieber fan.
Despite of it´s lame sound the background is amazingly tight. Professional musicians. some people took this far too serious back in the 80s. Blamed poor old Poone with satanism etc.
@ThatsMrMoronToYou , there's a different arranger for each number. It's an all-star studio band. Each arranger was given 2 hours, I think, to record their chart live to 2-track. Don't know who did this chart but Tom Scott wrote the one for Smoke on the Water, and Sammy Nestico did Stairway to Heaven. I suspect that the Tenor soloist on this cut is Plas Johnson. Pete Christlieb and Don Menza were also involved.
ok let's face it-anyone could sing what he sings on these remakes.The unsung heros are the bad ass band and who ever wrote the bad ass orchestrations..killer!
Good for a laugh or two, like tom jones singing sex bomb. Heck, it's a mystery to me why David Hasselholf it big in Europe singing hooked on a feeling, but if makes you feel good do it, I am the last person to tell what some one what to do as long as it does not harm to anyone else, as long as I get the same respect in return.
Two things: First, this proves that good music can be adapted to any style. Second, it takes a lot of balls and openmindedness for a 63 year old man (in 1997) known for being a clean-cut Christian to cover a Judas Priest number. Think about it for a minute. Personally, I find this really cool. Now, what would be even cooler is a cover of "Love letters in the sand" or "Moody River" by Judas Priest!
Pat Boone is so much better now than he was in the 60s. He made me shudder and I have avoided hearing him until moments ago. This really good stuff. I have to catch up on his other work now.
Say what you want about Pat, denigrating your heroes here. He stuck to promoting this thing when the TBN geeks, kicked him off the network for doing the album. I gained a NEW respect for the man for that. They got another thing coming, when they screw with him.
Artists like Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore -I'm not really sure about the last one.- took part in this album. I believe that if Ritchie and Ronnie thought it was a good idea, it should at least be respected.
@Ham701 I'll tell you why I hate it. Pat Boone has been a rip-off artist and a sell out his whole entire career. He used to do versions of black artists songs in the 50's and 60's because a lot people didn't want to buy a black mans album back then. He is an uncreative hack who profited from racism and bigotry. I usually like covers that take a song in a completely direction. But I doubt Pat Boone has any understanding of metal and did these metal covers just to make a quick buck.
@PureVolume707 Actually Alice Cooper encouraged him to do it, and Dio appeared on the album doing backing vocals on Holy Diver so have a word with them for supporting a racism and selling out while you're at it
Rob would be "Screamin for Vengance" right now??...How sad?? Pat.....stick with the fluffy music somewhere else??? Maybe in your private bathroom??? You don't have a clue about "Heavy Metal Music"?????
ROFLMAO That was brilliant, putting it together with the Priest video. I esp. enjoyed listen to the horns come off the guitar solo. We're not worthy. Thanks.

Someone shoulda shot Pat Boone with a ball of Rob Halford's shit for this
Funny how the homosexual sounding vocals are dubbed over the homosexual Rob Halford's image tho.
Homosexual or not Judas Priest was awesome!
