In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm diving into a classic heavy metal song by Judas Priest: Breaking the Law. As I saw in the video, this may be my first time hearing it...but I've been exposed to this tune via Beavis and Butt-Head. It's a fun, short song and video...and I very much enjoyed checking out this bit of metal history!

Beyond The Realms Of Death already! Way overdue!!!
You stole my post!
Totally agree, live versions especially!
Wacken Live version 2015, the best!!!!!
I do, and Im not even on CZcams
Yasss!
"Washing the dog, washing the dog. Heh Heh. Washing the dog, washing the dog" - Beavis
Came here to say this. Every time I give the dogs a bath, this is what I sing.
On Beavis and Butthead, when they put the neighbor's dog into the washing machine at the laundromat, they chanted "washing the dog, washing the dog". I've heard this song played as background music at a grocery store here. There are live versions where they do include guitar solos. The newest Priest album is fantastic.
My friend's husband is one lucky son-of-a-gun... he's been a drum tech for JP for a long time.. tours with the band and is allowed to bring his wife over to Europe on the band's dime a every so often. Last time she went over was when they were touring in Greece not long ago.
Run of the Mill, The Sentinel, Blood Red Skies, Beyond The Realms Of Death, im sure im forgetting a few more but those are some of my favourite Judas Priests songs you havent reacted to yet and it would be awesome if you did!
Before the Dawn
The Sentinel is my favorite by far!
Electric Eye, Turbo Lover, Hellbent For Leather, Leather Rebel, A Touch of Evil, One Shot At Glory.
So many good songs to choose from.
There Doug was completely wasting, out of work and down😎🎸💪🤘⚡☠️👺
Surely “There was Doug, completely wasted?” - scans better
@@seancorker5815 yeah but he says wasting not wasted in the lyrics
If you're going to do another Priest song, "Beyond the Realms of Death" would be the ultimate choice.
Awesome work, @Doug Helvering! I hope you eventually get to "Electric Eye" one of my favorite JP tunes.
This was a great production, thanks!
Don’t forget Helion first then electric eye.
@@matthewdrake4385Yesss!! The Hellion *must* be listened to along with Electric Eye.🔥
Looking forward to that Metal Monday, Dr. Doug!
@@matthewdrake4385 absolutely! Thanks for making sure... I should've definitely had that in my comment.
Those live versions with the synched headbanging after the solo (which they do live) are magical! Great tune!
It's funny we get such a good feeling watching your reaction to songs we love & break the song down for us in ways we miss
Beyond the Realms of Death, Dissident Aggressor❤
I would also add Call for the Priest/Let Us Prey
Yup, for sure. Cracking song. Also Better by you, better by me.
"Take These Chains" off Screamin for Vengence is one of my favorite rock ballad-ish songs.
I watched them play it live last night - and they are still killing it!!!!!!
This has even been played on BBC kids' TV in the UK (at least in the 00s, when my kids were growing up watching Dick & Dom)! Oh, how times change...
Oh my god that’s right… thank you for unlocking that core memory from my childhood!
Dang Doug, that hair is on point, better not headbang!
I love how ya break stuff down!! Thanks That perfect pitch to me is more valuable than being genius!!!
It would be nice for Doug to do a segment on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, c.1979-1981.
Beyond The Realms Of Death please!
This would be a great album for a listen through reaction. Could bang the whole album out in one shot!
Screaming For Vengeance!! Hoping you react to that epic title track from 1982 sometime soon Dr. Doug.🔥
The Hellion/Electric Eye. First Priest songs I ever experienced and a favourite to this day. Pumping track and solo 🔥🔥. I've been thinking a few songs that showcases Halfords vocals like Angel, Sea of Red etc are probably on the cards also.
Agreed
British Steel is a landmark album. So many fantastic songs, not a dud among them. This album and Killing Machine were my introduction to Judas Priest so are two of my all time favourite albums
Doug is Living After Midnight with the Priest 🤟🖤 🎤 🎹 🎸 🎸
He still sounds just as good as he was back then!🤘🤘🤘
Rock Hard Ride Free is another good one you could check out. It's a crying shame that one wasn't released as a single, it would've made them even more of a household name than they are.
Our band Entity played so much Judas Priest in the 80’s. They are still my favorite band from the 70’s 🤘🤘 thanx Doug
One of the quintessential classic metal riffs 🤘
This song was the first I heard by Judas Priest. It was in 1988, on a compilation album called Protect the Innocent. Shortly afterwards, I was scouring second-hand record stores for Priest's back catalogue.
Then they released Painkiller.
It's interesting to note that British Steel was one of a handful of albums that represented the sound of the NWOBHM and helped set the course for metal in the '80s. Ah, '80s metal. Priest, Maiden, Motörhead, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Sabbat, Skyclad, Yngwie Malmsteen, Manowar, Helloween . . .
Hi Doug saw them a few weeks back with Saxon and Uriah Heap but I must say Judas Priest were fantastic Rob is such a showman.😊
I only heard this about a year ago. Was into metal in the 90s. Awesome track and video! Still has edge after all these years. Timeless.
Btw loved the piano addition :)
Great timing, I just saw Judas Priest for the first time this past weekend. They still have it as a band and Rob's pipes are still Godlike. I usually prefer more technical music, but you have to give it to Judas Priest to write such iconic yet simple songs. Pure heavy metal.
I too first heard Beavis and Butthead saying "breaking tha lawwww" before I heard the song hah!
Ooh...do Touch of Evil!
Rapid fire ,the track off of british steel, as soon as i heard that track i was a converted metal and priest fan.
This will be fun! Craziest tning about this massive classic one would think was from their first album and not their 6th. Everyone (remotely familiar With hard rock) have heard it, if not the whole thing at least the riff.
It certainly feels like early JP
I just saw Judas Priest on Saturday at the Covelli Center in Youngstown OH. Concert vids on my YT 🤘😈🤘
KK (now Ritchie) lays a solo at the little instrumental break when performing live
There's another short song on the Firepower album from 2016 called, NO SURRENDER!
The video was done in a branch of Barclays Bank. I wonder if the branch used is now closed.
Then there's Metal Gods from the same album -- with creative use of Ringo Starr's kitchen cutlery
They started putting in a solo from at least ‘82.
There’s an apocryphal story that the shift to B was meant to have a solo over it on the album, & it was accidentally either deleted or never recorded.
May not be the case at all… but that is where they put the solo when they play it live
I was thinking that perhaps they cut the solo for time reasons (how much would fit on the vinyl LP side, but then realized, if that was the problem, it would have made more sense to shorten the extended outro on Metal Gods.
@@rikosborne1212 & there’s still just four bars of B with nothing going on before it goes up to D & Rob comes back in. So it’d still be the same length
This is one of my favorite "bad" videos ever. Of course, Priest are one of my favorite bands, so it makes sense.
"Living After Midnight" is another hitter and is the song that put them on the proverbial map in America
Sentinel and freewheel burning.
Screaming for vengeance is their best album
@@epistte Yes! The Sentinel! I agree wholeheartedly!
Seeing them next week.
You should do a Daily Doug on Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah, would love to hear what you think of it! Also loving the content in general!
Still waiting for Doug's reaction of "BLOOD RED SKIES", from "Ram It Down" album🙏🏻🤘🏻
I think I saw them back on that tour.
It's interesting your mention of what was going on in the UK at that time: I was about to leave my job as a coal miner to go to University starting Autumn 1980.
My dog got some chewing gum stuck to her foot the other day and I was "scraping the paw, scraping the paw".
"They're not supposed to do that." 🤣💀
Ah, classic!
I wouldn't mind an extended play lounge of British Steel 👀
Such an iconic and timeless album
Gandalf came round the other day, but as he left he was "scraping my door, scraping my door"
Freewheel Burning is my favorite Priest song. I was once listening to an interview with Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot, and he was telling of a postcard that Randy Rhoads had sent him telling where Randy had been to a club that held contest with the fake instruments. It was a big thing then.
Best version is the live video from their Fuel for Life tour/video. There is a solo and he hits unreal high notes. Check that one out
Oh my God, you are so much fun
Great video on Judas Priest.I love the song Breaking the Law.Thank you for the awesome video Doug.:)🤘
Hey, my dad had that Johnny Cash live album! Loved listening to that as a kid :)
The full-step key shift for solos is something Priest has done quite often; a while back I learned there's an actual musical term for the technique, but I can't recall it at the moment. But I like its effectiveness in raising the musical tension during the solo, and then releasing the tension by dropping back to the original key after the solo.
They really simplified their sound on British Steel in a move to get more radio play and reach new fame. The singles are classics no doubt but I really like most other songs from the album as The Rage, Grinder or Steeler
As I (and a few others) commented during the premiere, "Unleashed In The East" is a fantastic live album from this period, and I think you'd really dig their cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds and Rust". It took me a few years to discover it was a cover (I was a young metalhead, Baez was a hippy, who listens to that nonsense?), and they really make it their own. Well worth a reaction.
The Green Manalishi is also a cover tune (from Fleetwood Mac), but I agree, Unleashed in the East is a helluva concert album. I even got the Japanese import with 4 more songs on it. :)
HI DOUG, I hope you and your lovely wife are both doing well. I enjoy your live videos and all of the content that you share with us. All of your videos are FANTASTIC, unless I don't care for the band / orchestra, then i dont watch. 😮😮. Lol.
You teach us a lot of many different things about the band, how the songs are structured, and the different styles that are used / played.
I've been drumming for 48 years and have done a lot for myself with drums and drumming. I enjoy listening to music theory and what you bring to the table. Thanks, DOUG.
You really know the in's and out's about music, and that is AWESOME.
I can read and write music scores for drumset and for other percussion instruments. I had written percussion scores when I taught many high school drumlines for many years. I tried, but i never really learned how to write music notations as in b minor, g- flat, etc, etc. Lol. I dont have a teaching degree. I didn't need that for what i was doing.
I wasn't going into teaching music as a career, like a band or choir teacher.
I know my music and what sounds / tones that I want / like to hear. I have great hearing even after all of the noise i have abused my ears with over the years. 😢😢😢. Lol.
Thanks for playing us JUDAS PRIEST. That was a nice little surprise. I loved that song. It still ROCKS.
It brought back some great memories. 👍
Hey, DOUG, I sort of forgot about this.
I had bought an old Judas Priest cassette tape way back when ( the cassette tape gave the way back when part away, huh?) 😊.
It is called THE BEST OF JUDAS PREIST. Have you ever heard of this one? Do you have it? I didn't know much of their music at that time, as I was listening, learning, and playing anything and everything back then until I knew what I liked and what to listen for.
The tape has some really good and enjoyable songs on it. It is really cool to listen to it. I later learned that it is NOT their best songs. Lol.
It isn't their worst songs either, because I knew these songs. I'm not sure, but I think the songs might be from the B sides of their 45s. Lol.
I heard that they did this as a joke for some crazy reason.
I think their manager got the idea and secretly shared it with the recording studio. Then they discussed it with their producers, etc, etc, and then surprised the band with their final look on the album cover, and i think maybe that is how they jerked off the band in a fun, goofy way.
The band thought that this was hilarious and liked the idea and wanted to keep it like that to share the joke with their fans. LMAO.😅😅😅.
DOUG, I dont know how much of this is true, but I heard something along those lines. Maybe someone was jerking my chain, but I have to admit that it is a great story. Im interested in finding out IF any of this is true or even close to the truth. 😊
Do you know anything about this tape / album? Have you heard anything about it?
I still have my cassette tape in one of my cassette cases, and I know it is still in very good condition.
I haven't heard it for a long time.
Would it be worth anything? Maybe a case of beer ? 😂Let me know if you can. Thanks, DOUG.
Keep up your great, fun work.
Is there a live coming on Friday?
Hope to rock with ya then, even if it's to Moonlight Seranade,😂😂😂.
Just put some power cords in the chorus, and an up- tempo, dble bass drum beat for 2 measures, and we have a new cover / original. Haaa haaa.
😂😂😂 Lmao.
I hope you get this and have time to read it.
Have a safe,great week.
Glen
@DMOnTele-GramRealDoughelvering - Hey there, DOUG.
How the heck are ya ?
Thanks for your invite yesterday and for us to chat, sone time and some way? Lol.
I'm sorry that I didn't know what you meant.
I still don't, lol.
I really appreciated that, and I look frwd to talking with you.
I have never heard of using that conversation thing that you told me about to contact you, lol. Sorry, man. I tried Googling it to see how to learn about it and what it is so that i could get in touch with you. But I had no luck .
I had no clue as to what i was looking for, and GOOGLE was no help.
I asked a few buddies, but they were either busy with other things or at work, and a few other guys had no idea what i was talking about.
I wasn't sure if it was a CZcams thing to converse at or is it a separate app, I dont know. I was just thinking. Could i find this in my store and download it or something?
I might be the only idiot who you now know who doesn't have insta- Gram or tele- gram or any of my other Grams, lol.
I never had a need for all of those messaging apps, do I? Lol.
People know how to get in touch w me if and when they want.
A phone is the best way for me to talk.
I really suck at technology. Can ya tell? I should take classes .
I never had a reason to learn how to use computers. My career doesn't even require me to use the internet for my job.
I can send texts and, email's from my cell and emails from my computer. I can figure a lot of things out, but i really can't do much else on a computer.
I know how to search for websites, etc.
I have facebook, but i hate f.b. I got f.b. only to look for certain things at the marketplace and to learn about any bands needing a drummer, somewhere, sometime.
I use Ebay a lot, lol
If I need to know about anything to do with drums and drumming, I either already know it, or I just learned about it, or I will learn it, asap. Lol .
Hey Doug, can you email me at
GLENPOLEN08@GMAIL.COM
If so, that would be great and work for me, as you know.
I could email you back with my cell number, and you could call if that is ok w you.
Or you can email me with your number, and I can call you when its good for you
Im going to get that Jusas Priest cassette tape out, so if i can call you, or you call me, I can tell you more about the tape, and so forth.
Im sure that you may have heard something about that BEST OF.
You probably have it, lol.
I would have never even thought of that if i hadn't found your channel and you were playing Judas Priest on monday.
Listen to this and everything else on Priest Live 1986ish. excellent
Hell bent for leather.
Even if you aren't a heavy metal fan, you know the hook from this song.
We didn't get to watch the video as u did Doug!
Have you lost weight, Doug? You look healthy. Haven't watched one of your vids in a while, was just fancying listening to this track and then saw you uploaded this 3 days ago! Nice.
effing loved that a super lot. gold tier energy. super glad I came across your channel! 🔥🔥🔥Lately I can't stop listening to October Ends' new song. You need to react to it out 🔥
Saw Priest 3 times between 1980 and 1982, each time with Maiden warming up (DiAnno and Dickinson). Priest won the first 2 times, but the 3rd time when Dickinson entered the scene was a Maiden rout. Most impressive and dominating performance by a warm-up band I've ever seen.
Thank you! It is a really fun song! I will be pleased to watch some other reactions on Priest stuff.
got the record , in the cupboard somewhere and a sore neck, from head banging to this song
i've just been going through their discography again over the last few weeks so that's an interesting coincidence! :)
You need to react to King Diamond- Sleepless Nights- live at the Filmore. You will not regret it.
oh wooohaaa i finually catch a live one nearly from the start ;D
greetings from bavaria
There's a live version of Breaking the Law on the concert-dvd Epitaph, where Halford doesn't sing a single word. The Audience sings the whole song.
Judas Priest - "Dissident Aggressor";
"Exciter";
"Delivering The Goods";
"Diamonds And Rust" (Joan Baez cover);
"Sinner";
"Solar Angels";
"Screaming For Vengeance";
"Riding On The Wind";
"You've Got Another Thing Comin' "
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘
"
6:38 they do indeed play a solo when they play it live
When I learned the riff on guitar, I couldn’t believe how something so iconic was so simple!
Judas Priest are a band who have adapted their style and sound throughout their career to remain fresh and relevant, so you can’t really go wrong with any era of their music, whether their early days in the 70s, their 80s powerhouse heyday, or anything from the last 2 decades… no matter what era of theirs you listen to, there’s something special about Judas Priest and their music.
Doug, you should check out "Hellraiser (30th Anniversary)" by Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy Kilmister. It's freaking awesome!
"Island of Domination" is another suggestion.
Must listen to "Hell Bent for Leather" from the "Killing Machine" album. One of the greatest riffs of all time!
I prefer the first period, but the one from 1979-80 to 1988 is quite good. I like the fact that you can tell they had 3 big sound changes, but always well done and tasteful.
The awards are their treasure. . .
There is no mistakes with Judas, the real metal gods!
As much as I love the single track reviews, you need to do an album review. British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance or Defenders of the Faith. Dealers choice!
Dude, Beyond the Realms of Death live, I’d do Epitaph. Amazing.
They do sometimes add a lead guitar section during live performances.
@doug helvering - i'd be really interested to see what you think of the later versions Halford does after he left Priest, when he starts doing the vocalese bit in there...
Thanks really love this song
Ren has a news song out “Mackay” . I would like to hear your analysis of the song. To understand the structure of the composition. I think it would make a good orchestral piece
Funny you should mention Beavis & Butt-Head. The song itself is iconic, of course -- but so is its use. Man, those Friday nights here were something with first B&B and then Headbanger's Ball. (Or was it the other way around? It's been decades!)
Another great one to check out is Cherry Bomb,The Runaways version!
Songs had to be a certain length to get radio play. Most songs from that time and earlier were about three minutes. I worked at a radio station for ten years. The way the program director decides what to play is if it fits into his or her hour. There have to be a certain amount of songs per hour. Depending on how many commercials there are this can effect the time and quantity. Radio was never about playing music, maybe in the very early days of FM, but about selling advertisement. My boss always said no matter what the commercials have to play at the right time and the station ID had to play within five minutes before or after the top of the hour. Other than that it was mostly what they liked that would get played.
Try Gates Of Hell from Invincible Shield. 👍 it’s from their new album and the whole thing is INCREDIBLE!
BTL understandably a single but "Steeler", the album closer, is the best song on the album.
Give Ripper some love. Cathedral Spires.
Hey Dough, \m/
I love to shred these riffs on my guitar and going with the speed.
I really appreciate the whole album and would be happy, if you could do a whole album reaction to British Steel?
My favorite Songs:
Rapid Fire (Banging Opener)
Metal Gods
Breaking The Law
The Rage
Steelers
Beyond the Realms Of Death next time please ;(
Judas Priest has just released a new album, hope you get to sample some of their new stuff, they are still going strong after 50 years. Cheers
Hi Doug! Big fan here from Brazil. I think you should react to Monika Roscher Bigband's 8 Prinzessinnen, or anything from they last album. Its just from another world. Cheers!
Beyond The Realm Of Death! cmon!
Didn't see the video, seen a album cover.
Could you please listen to 'a little piece of heaven' by avenged sevenfold? Its such an awesome song and really showcases their abilities. It's got a shock value to it, but a lot of people see it as their best song
Now listen to the cover by Metallachi to see what a mariachi band that specializes in covering metal classics, can do with a violin, a trumpet and this song. Then just listen to everything they've ever done and don't miss their version of Crazy Train. You'll be amazed at how well one can cover a Randy Rhodes solo, on violin.
🤘🧙♂🤘
