Judas Priest - Solar Angels - Guitar Cover

The sixth track on Point of Entry, the seventh studio album by the mighty Judas Priest. Released in February of 1981, this record has always been a point of contention among Priest fans. Some hate it, others love it; and I'll admit I was perplexed when it came out. It's grown on me quite a bit over the years, but I can see the naysayer's reasoning: songs like "You Say Yes" and "Turning Circles" had me thinking "ummmm, huh??", haha... Then again, there are some KILLER tracks as well - "Heading Out to the Highway", "Desert Plains", and this one, which is my favorite on the album. I love Glenn's solo, too - a total blast to play! And hey, it's still better than Turbo in my mind... Lol!

I saw them tour this album on the "World Wide Blitz Tour" in '81, and they opened with "Solar Angels", and I recall getting goosebumps hearing the opening guitar chug. And they fucking crushed it. Magic! JP forever!!

Tuning is Standard A.

I'm doing these cover videos purely for my own enjoyment - while I write for several upcoming planned projects that should hopefully take form this year. Thought I'd share for anyone interested. I figure them out by ear, so any mistakes are solely my own. I think they're mostly right. Cheers.
