Incredible K.K. Downing Solo

[JuicyBloodbath]

jizzed in my FUCKING pants

[ROONTANG]

Who says oldies can't rock? These guys are the masters of heavy metal, going just as hard now as they were in the 80's. Good stuff.

[ladieslad616]

i can hear dime & yngwie at the same time

[Gabez82]

Damn K.K just beat that guitar up.

[337camo]

God damn Judas Priest is badass

[337camo]

God damn Judas Priest is badass

[RockBandTuber96]

K.K. Downing = Chuck Norris w/ Guitar

[sanchz1111]

K.K. Downing is the white Jimi Hendrix

[lopux585]

@sanchz1111 Actually K.K Downing is.. K.K. Downing :)

[sgtcortez19]

@lopux585 Obviously. Or he'd be dead yet

[Selesouthparklol]

I miss him kk in judas priest :((

[villadavid4ever]

Why the fuck did he retire?

[xCadmee]

OMG i love KK's Inlays they show his epicness

[arthalford07]

GREAT SOLO FROM K.K. BUT DEFINITELY I PREFER TIPTON'S SOLOS SPECIALLY IN BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH OR IN I'M A ROCKER SIMPLY AMAZING. PRIEST RULES FOREVER!!!!!!

[NightCrawler607]

One of the best metal guitar solo, that I have heard, and I have heard maaaany metal guitar solos.

[AqwOtavvio]

:O

[JackosDays]

What song?

[lopux585]

@JackosDays Victim Of Changes



[SamFisher338]

Holy shit, that was awesome.

[Ibanez94ru]

I think this was the last song in the concert, cause after a solo like that ur guitar is complitely out of tune, anyway it's a good solo but i prefer Tipton cause he have more technique in playing guitar.

[lopux585]

@Ibanez94ru It wasn't the last song of the concert. Bands like JUDAS PRIEST don't go to concerts with one guitar. Moreover there are plenty of technicians backstage

[Megamaniac610]

@Ibanez94ru fun fact about K.K. Downing's guitar: those tuning machines are useless and there to make the guitar look normal. You could take off the headstock and it would work the exact same. It runs a Floyd Rose speedloader tremolo, which has the tuners solely in the bridge.

[UserUnfriendly21]

Holy shit!

[jonbarnes24]

It's a shame kk left priest!!

[MrMethadrine]

i used to play like that when i was 12.

[lopux585]

@MrMethadrine hahha, very funny, NOT

[yoheff988]

@MrMethadrine I was 6 LOL

[RotnRoll77]

1:22 Heavy Metal Wind Chimes

[reloadrockband]

i could'nt give a shit wether its technically a bad solo or not, i like it! nuff said

[TheIndignation]

Pretty cool. Glenn is the real shred king in the band though =P

[rip2shred]

@TheIndignation KK and Glenn are both great. Not because of solos alone, but the songs they write.

[sorryboss101]

So this what its like for a 70/80s band to still be metal after al these years.

[redneckblacklabel]

amazing solo for KK!

total shit solo for anyone else.

way to go KK

[SPPoncho88]

there's no other tone like a V with a Waa pedal .. KK and Michael Schenker are living proof of that

[meesterboom]

Love this band and an awesome solo from KK, overlooked at times but amazing guitarist.

[fiddymil]

K.K.pretty much made glen tipton look like a tool in this video xD

[UglyTUglyT]

That was good. This one is even better: 4:25 Search: TXToYkkSg9M

[lucasrhoads1]

incrivel sua velicodade garnde solo!!!

[adamswefull]

I JUST EXPLOADED!

[Dragslo]

Totally wanking that Floyd, I will miss KK from JP :(

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

this is some old school priest, great

[420Rokn]

These guys are freakin BEASTS!!

[Aeronomer]

Holy freakin crap...

[TheVeryAngryGoose]

I love KK!

[kiss26172]

AAAAAAAmazing!!! That's how its done!

[adamswefull]

I Jizzd..

[Gabe7King8ofrnr10]

Why this band had such a hard time making it in the beginning is beyond me. The music industry has always been run by idiots for the most part.

[Danthrax11]

fucking amazing.

[Dudeatrix]

1 person is fucking retarded

[BertoKing]

I THINK... HUmM.. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh­hhhhhhhhhhh *.*

[6jav6mu6]

Dios de Dioses!!! Yeahhhh!!

[cereal4dinner]

the sound is fucked on this, repost please

[nucleardude11]

dayum i didn't know kk could do that

[MrGlenntipton]

K.K.'s guitar is a KxK model... sold exclusivly through APPLE music in Portland Oregon

[MrGlenntipton]

THIS IS FUCKING BAD ASS!!!!priest is going out in style.EPITAPH

[leftygeezer]

Smokin. I have always loved his crazy, spacey style the best of the two. Glen is technically great, but KK has the trippy, mind-melting flavor that takes me all the way there. Pure Metal.

[BudFactorE]

this video lives up to its title !

[theairflare]

Name of the song?

[SnakeRambo]

@theairflare Victim of Changes.

[UglyTUglyT]

The last few years he's been crushing this.

[VitalSigns1]

That's Glen Tipton not KK Downing

[lopux585]

@VitalSigns1 You should watch full video, not the first 20 sec :)

[FlyingVist]

@VitalSigns1

First solo:GleNN double N !!!!!Tipton.Second solo .K.K.Downing 1:00-2:35.

[Morkmoth]

@VitalSigns1 HAHAHA...No.

[supahappyfuntime11]

that wasn't really a solo...

[irphan213]

@supahappyfuntime11 What Do You Mean? It's A solo played by one of the legends.

[saegc7]

KK looks like that blond terrorist from Die Hard...

[stuh1975]

...and now he's playing golf instead?!

[Roran109]

I wish I'll shred that hard when I'm his age...

[MARINERMINI]

LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU K.K.!!!!!!!!

[saegc7]

KK shreds better than a Cuisinart!

[porsche996fan]

This solo is wild any crazy anyway - so good job KK.

No he isnt as gifted as glen solo wise, but he is awesome on rythm.

[EETheReech]

L. O. L!

[patriot3636]

KK Downing is one underrated guitarist, but the fact of the matter is... KK is one of the best there is! He has such energy, style, and presence. KK and Glenn together is huge. Love this guy!

[sozoro93]

IMHO, i don't like this solo, for me it's only a sequence of notes that don't belong at the right key of the song. The guitarist only focuses on going fast and not on the musicality of the solo.

[revepenate]

@sozoro93 KK always has improvised this solo and the solo from sinner, if you want somethin focused in musicality listen "Jawbreaker", second solo in "persecution", first solo in "future of mankind", "judas rising", first solo in "Rock hard ride free", first solo in "between the hammer and the anvil" and "one shot at glory", "Hot for love", and second solo in "conquest". enjoy them :D.

[lopux585]

@sozoro93 I think it's about everyone's musical preferences. This solo is like very modern Judas Priest using much gain and hard use of whammy bar.

[Einfarhtfreihalten]

@sozoro93 your are very sick bastard.

KK fuck you in the butt !!!

[sozoro93]

@Einfarhtfreihalten No, i'm not. That was only my opinion. You are free to share it or not, but you can't offend me. I like musicality, not a series of notes which doesn't make any sense. Paul Gilbert is much more musical. Imho. However, i love judas priest but i don't like this solo.

[666maidenfan4life]

@sozoro93 don't be a douche just enjoy the great guitar genius that is k.k downing

[smacman68]

@sozoro93 Thank God it's just your "humble"opinion, because I thought the "H" in IMHO stood for "horrible". Non musicians should refrain from giving musical critique.

[gibby1989]

@sozoro93 ur right i mean painkiller guitar solo is awsome but this not so much

[sozoro93]

@gibby1989 Thank God there is someone who can totally understand me xd

[Rulesout21]

@sozoro93 what the fuck is that about the mussicality of the solo? are you idiot? of course it is musicality becouse is music, you retard, if he plays notes that are out of the key is becouse he wanna do a crazy thing to impress people, and of course he focuses on goin fast becouse he just want to enjoy his sadistic skills, he is a great and unique guitarrist

[HowieMusicLtd]

@sozoro93 i agree

[Ramkain]

@sozoro93 My friend it dosnt matters if solos are good,it matters if they are played with love to the guitar :) and as I can see KK Downing HAS THIS LOVE!And only 1 thing about this video.The world ''Incredible'' dosnt match.Downing has ''IncredibleS'' solos :)

[lopux585]

Hey people, please stop commenting about guitarists who have guitars with more than 24 frets

[asssmoothie69]

FYI Ibanez makes the Xiphos guitar with 27 frets. Its crazy awsome but costs $899.00 at Guitar Center. Whoever picks one up needs to post it on Youtube so we can see you abuse it.

[nodnas62]

kk was the start of preist...glen puts in the work!!!

[dmdt1313]

When did KK start playing a scalloped neck?

[Megamaniac610]

@dmdt1313 He got a custom guitar from KxK guitars. I'm guessing he saw the name and figured that he had to have one.

[TheBaskerman]

brutal

[TheDannyhyde]

nice real nice...wow. KK please dont quit. Ken Downing can play guitar like a hellion!!!! priest aint the same without its founding father..........

[YoooEric]

Damn!!! I wanna play like this!! I need to get myself a whammy bar, and then rape my guitar like KK does haha cause right now I'm playing this solo only ok, not amazing like KK.

[TheDannyhyde]

@YoooEric everyguitar player does...

[RealityinTheory]

@lopux585 Michael Angelo Batio has a guitar with 36 frets. 

[paki46]

Downing and Tipton: simlpy two kings of metal.

[braincrisp1]

Thank you K.K. for years and years of incredible music. You're the best!

[eluri666]

K.K. Downing!!! You're The Number 1

[madometal]

what a legend.....one of a kind.....irriplaceable....

[tmblacktrack]

He really likes his Floyd Rose doesn't he? lol

[sharonlmorgan]

going to see them this Saturday...I sure am gonna miss KK :(

[theMAN3554]

gleen has a guitar with 28 things where u put your finger i forget how u write that word

[lopux585]

@theMAN3554 it's called "fret" and I'm afraid there's no guitar with 28 frets, the maximum I've ever seen is 24

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@lopux585 Uli Jon Roth's sky guitar has 30 something and mine has 26

[TheSkipjack95]

@lopux585 There is th Ibanez RG Extreme Shred, with 31 frets. It was Shown at NAMM this year.

[512momo512]

@lopux585 Wrong ! There is a few guitars with 27 frets ( ibanez "dot" com/ElectricGuitars/model-XPT7­00XH for exemple) and 30 frets ( ibanez "dot" com/ElectricGuitars/model-RG20­11SC but it's the only one i know with 30 frets )... But that's true that in general guitars have 22 or 24 frets

[TheAxman17]

@lopux585 KK has a three octave guitar. It's a hideous thing, and I doubt anyone could fit their finger above the 24th fret. He talks about it at about 4:20 of this video: watch?v=T2x_pT0-MTg

[Robertohn]

@lopux585 kiko loureiro has one with 27, i think. and Syu, a japanese guitarist...Uli Jon Roth has another with 32 frets (check Sky Guitar).

[rod3067]

@lopux585 there are guitars up to 42 frets, but they're pretty much custom orders, and it has not much sense in some cases since you could use more strings, but yup, there are guitar with up to 42 frets an 10 strings (i bete there are even guitars with more frets and strings)

[misterbarbister]

@lopux585 Wrong

[superbeasstt]

@lopux585 He's right, and for example Michael Angelo Batio has guitars with 29 frets ;)

[braddudeguy]

@lopux585 Ibanez Xiphos has 27-frets.

[axelcampeon]

@lopux585 you have to see more vids, check michael angelo batio, i think he has a 27 fret guitar

[TrollRaper69]

@lopux585 dude bucket head has 28

[TrollRaper69]

this guy has a 28 fret scalloped neck guitar super sick

[mtlspider]

@lopux585 there are guitars with 36 frets,they are rare but some do use them ocassionally.

for example uli jon roths sky guitar.

[catseye64]

@mtlspider > Don't go that far, KK Downing has a 36 frets guitar as well, but just for the GBE strings if I remember, a very special axe.

;)

[PanosK298]

@lopux585 my friend instruments of today can be manufactured any way you like them.!! there are electric guitars with 2 or even 3 necks, 7,8 or 12 strings and with frets way above 30!! check out one of uli jon roth's sky guitars!!!!!

[DrEviscerator666]

@lopux585 ,Ibanez does guitars with 27 frets! Necrophagist's Muhammed Suicmez plays Ibanez Xiphos 7 strings with 27 frets!

[cormermusic]

@lopux585 I"ve seen 26

[Adamisarocker09]

@lopux585 Ibanez have released one with 30..

[metalioncovers]

@lopux585 look up the band called nile

[579]

@lopux585 Most commercially available guitars top out at 24. But custom ones can taper with up to 32, but most usually still only go to 27-28

[Cmopn95]

@lopux585 Have you seen the 30 fret guitar by ibanez man? Its fucking extreme

[THEGUYD0WNTHESTREET]

@lopux585 there is some go up to 32 like ibanez guitars.......

[doomink]

@lopux585 check Uli Jon Roth's Sky guitar, it's got 32 frets I think. Well visible in /watch?v=_3uvil5QKj0

[kornjubi]

@lopux585 Of course there is...

[AFKProductionsCata]

@lopux585 Actually Michael angelo batio uses a 29 fret, although thats a custom. seen ibanez making 27´s though

[Megamaniac610]

@lopux585 Uli Jon Roth has one with 38 I think.

[rickyjshiznit]

@Megamaniac610 its 36, which is 3 full octaves per string, as opposed to 24 which is 2 octaves per string.

[oblivion4lcf]

@lopux585 well that is false.nocturne guitars have one model with 29 frets,Uli Jon Roth's sky guitar has 30 frets and I'm sure there are many more guitars with more than 24 frets!

[oblivion4lcf]

@oblivion4lcf and i think Jon Roth has one with 35!soz for replying to my own comment

[HARDCORExWINNING]

@lopux585 Michael Angelo Batio had a guitar with 29 frets

[Cathaklysm]

@lopux585 *hint* Michael Angelo Batio has a guitar with more than 24 frets

[IMaiden23]

@lopux585 dude michael angelo batio has like 30

[veshijr101]

@lopux585 Actually, there do exist novelty guitars that have more than 24 frets.

[MeteoraXV]

@lopux585 dont those sky guitars have 30+ frets or something

[ManofWar55]

@lopux585. A version of the Ibanez Xiphos has 27 frets.

[InForLifeband]

@lopux585 im afraid ur wrong ive seen a bc rich 29 fret

[666thrashmaster]

@lopux585 andy larocque from king diamond plays with 27 you get more frets it not impossible you just need them custom I've seen 40 fret guitar

[MrAmrax]

@lopux585 . Among his custom made guitars is a 29 fret guitar made of military grade Aluminium, which makes the guitar very light. bla bla Michael Angelo Batio wiki

[dannyhood66]

@theMAN3554 Yeah dude your right glen tipton does have a guitar with 28 frets

[ThRaShTiLdEaTh420]

@theMAN3554 28 frets?

[MrGlenntipton]

omfg, he retired. this is his going away present for all you guitar heros

[stavrosmaiden]

fucking amazing!!! he's brilliant!

thunbs up for kk's return!!!

[DoubleVisionandco]

It`s rare to see a guitarist at his age that can still burn up the fret board.

[JeffWatersRules]

Wow this really is incredible, most of these video's overreact

[MrGlenntipton]

JUST KCUFING WOWWW!!!!!

[MrGlenntipton]

VICTIM OF CHANGES! ... remember that kids

[RotnRoll77]

I hate how KK left the band before the grand "farewell" tour. This is probably the last time I'm ever gonna get to see Priest, I don't want some rookie dude handling half the riffage! No offense to Ritchie, I'm sure he's a swell guitarist, but KK belongs in Priest. I'm cool with him wanting to retire and all, just not before the tour, man.

[Misticmyst73]

I would of had a secret stash of amps I could activate to be heard bloody hell...

[adammesic]

Unfortunately, never got lucky enough seein' him alive. Just this new kid! Still, hes OK ! But with the KK would have been the real thing!

[Abbadon57]

What is the name of this song?

:D

[lopux585]

@Abbadon57 I don't remember for sure, but I guess it's "Sinner"

[hallbergjonatan]

@lopux585 IT'S VICTIM OF CHANGES!!!!!!!!!! NOT SINNER!!!!!

[lopux585]

@hallbergjonatan thx

[AgentOfBlack]

@Abbadon57 its victim of changes

[mRRoach247]
