Description
Judas Priest: Heavy Duty Days and Nights For the first time, the story of Judas Priest is told from the band's guitarist, K.K. Downing. Formed in Birmingham in 1969, Judas Priest became a heavy metal institution in the 1980s with its distinctive twin-guitar sound and iconic tracks like 'Breaking the Law' and 'You've Got Another Thing Coming'. This book takes readers backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and haunting stories that surround the band, including complex personality conflicts, business screw-ups, and the band's role in the storm of parental outrage that targeted heavy metal in the '80s. Downing recounts the band's trademark black leather and studs image, which became synonymous with the genre, and the life-changing moment when he thought, 'This is the last show' during a 2009 concert. With unflinching honesty, Downing shares his experiences from the band's early days to his retirement in 2011, offering a unique perspective on the band's history and its impact on the music world. Heavy Duty Days and Nights is a fascinating read for fans of rock music and those interested in the story behind one of the most iconic bands of all time.
