Amazing cover, close to original. When i listen to this cover and another covers of Judas Priest's songs i just apreciate more and more Judas Priest one more time again and again. Altough Iron Maiden is great band, Judas Priest is superior, genious band with genious lyrics and music, versatile and pioneer in heavy metal, many bands were influenced and be influenced by Judas Priest. Judas Priest come with his music far ahead of time. Thank you Judas Priest for your music, for your attitude to your fans and to bandmates and to other bands. Just remember, when Judas Priest create versatle and intellectual and powerful music, Metallica still create the music of garage band...
Too think that the R/R hall of Fame has snubbed Priest. What are they thinking??????? Best metal band of the 70's through today in my opinion. Seen them dozens of times. Even caught the St Louis outdoor festival in 1980 at Busch Memorial stadium when Priest was there. SUPERB!!!!
I had this version in my iTunes as the "Original" version of Judas Priest hahaha. 10 years got the full album and listened to the original Exciter, I was like... I though it was heavier...
@@adameves5970 the original isn't rigid at all, its melodic, dynamics, and it swings while beign ferocious and ahead of its time with Lesbinks. Even take to Louie Bellson, to Max roach to Clyde stubberfield , to Bernard Purdie, to Mitch Mitchell to Ginger, To Carmine Appice to Keith Moon to Cobham to Mouzon, to Ian Paice, Bill Ward , Vinny Appice, Cozy Powell , to Simon Phillips to Kim Kuzz, to even Abaddon to stephen Priestly to Gar Samuelson ... Its not rigid at all. It may be chaotic purposely and super heavy, drum concepts are artisticly as valuable and deep that any other instrument. You guys think being a drummer is just bash the hell of the kit and beign rythmic Drummer is beign an artist also. Rythm is one thing, but all the greats, you have arrangements, interaction, ochestrations , phrasing, melody, timber - tone value and Swing Groove . Even Phil animal Taylor was swing in fast stuff. Even Dave Holland . Even Mike Browning was " Funky as hell ," if you listen Abominations of desolation by Morbid Angel. Even Donnie and Scott Colombus in early Manowar there s a swag and and an intelligence in what they were doing. Even in the fast stuff it gave a balance , urgence like punky feel that gave agression and impulsion. There s nothing in German stuff up to mid 80's. Its fucking robotic and asexual playing.
@@ToxicTemplar beign illusioned to be brutal is irrevelant where there s no musical and interpretation. It could be a drum machine at that point. You guys seems just enjoy something that is " loud " because as metalhead its what is supposed to be liked, without knowning why in the sense is you don't care if there s content or not.
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and moulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
The very soul of your being will cringe
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to you knees and repent if you please
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Ralf Scheepers is the closest I've ever heard ANYone approach what Rob Halford was capable of in his prime. Major props. \m/
Have you heard the Strapping Young Lad cover of this song? If not then I highly recommend it.
I'd say Warrel Dane circa Refuge Denied days surpassed them all vocally ascension to destiny
@@1TakoyakiStore Dear God How could Marshall forget about Devin. He is a monster and probably even better singer than Halford and I love Priest
Strongly agree 👍
Ripper Owens was litterally in the band.
This track was the painkiller of 70s
I have always thought the same way.
It kinda sounds like Deep purple's Fireball which came out few years earlier.
@@InterestingStuff888
That's true ,too
Way better.
Gamma Ray are the Teutonic Judas Priest 🤘🤘🇩🇪🇩🇪
Only these guys do Priest justice! Stand by for EXCITER!!!🤘
Nobody but THEY sound just like Judas Priest !
Now I finally know why JP guys wanted to hire this guy. Amazing
Amazing cover, close to original.

Love Kai's backing vocals here in all the right spots. Great cover all around.
It's actually me.. :-)
@@RSVOCALWORKS Shows what I know. :)
Poderosa Voz de Ralf é de longe uma das melhores do estilo, sem conta na presença de palco e do carisma que o cara tem ! Baita vocalista
although I love every song Kai Hansen sings, I miss Ralph Scheepers in Gamma Ray.
Egosum Tantum well primal fear is awesome as well
Egosum Tantum awesome metal song indeed
原曲に忠実なのにメチャクチャ ヘビィ！！マジで45年前の曲とは思えないほどエキサイティング！！
why Priest haven't join Scheepers after Halford in 90s ?????? crazy...
Back again, sickest ever tribute, always will be.
He even rolls his R's sometimes just like Halford.
From the best Judas Priest album
Flat out incredible cover! This is just one badass rendition....Insanity and genious is a must own album
No disrespect to priest but this is off the charts awesome
This sounds like the "Unleashed" version.
Great cover!
Gamma Ray is the world best power metal band in the world.
Ralf Scheepers rocks!!!
Great singer !
Halford has never sung as fine live as this cover. Never, i'm sorry
Wowww!!! R. Scheepers and Gamma Ray are fuckin¨Awesomes!!!
I had this version in my iTunes as the "Original" version of Judas Priest hahaha. 10 years got the full album and listened to the original Exciter, I was like... I though it was heavier...
Gon Ferrer same here haha
The Unleashed In The East live version is way heavier than the studio version on Stained Class.
Kai Hansen is the world best power metal Lead Guitarist in the world.
Agreed. But next to KK and Glen who were the best duo of guitarists!!!!
Andy Laroque and Pete Blakk (super underrated combo)
cada que escucho la voz de Ralph esta brutal!! luego en su banda Primal Fear es la hostia!!
ラルフ・シーパースだからこそ出来た素晴らしいカバー曲✨
Una gran voz como la de Ralf no cualquiera la tiene y mas con está canción de Judas...es único
De longe, o Melhor cover que conheço. AMAZING
Vc ouviu a Exciter com o Tim Owens?
O cara ñ chega nem perto do Scheepers,imagina se o Scheepers tivesse entrado no Judas.
How much money do i need to put out an album a priest tribute album, lets say 15 kick ass songs, with ralf scheepers on vocals, any idea people?
Kerry king, kai Hansen, les Binks,
I think much thousands dollars probably less than 50000 dollars with a support band.
ralph is great saw him 1 time at jaxx primal fear rocks
That moment you hear Rob Halford but in reality its Ralph
Ralphord?
Ralph is really good 💪💪
Sounds exactly like the original. :(
Dear Heavy Metal, you are Welcome. Sincerely, Judas Priest
Simplemente grandiosos
Viva el metal.
Saludos desde México
One of my favorite band I'm serious I should have been a metal singer.👍🍻💯
Man imagine if Scheepers took the job......
Damn that was good 👍
Thin or muscle Ralf kick ass!
Wow!!!
Awesome... \m/
3:20 - Kai and Weiki didn't invent that power metal style after all...
Check Strapping Young Lad's cover. Devin Townsend's voice is off the charts.
I'm pretty sure it was the priest
Sweet - Set me free 1974 all the tropes of speed/power heard a decade later. ruclips.net/video/P-RTCRPMoaQ/видео.html
Ralph Sheepers the best!!!
God DAAAMN, RALPH!!?
metal
Thats studio version btw
It really sounds like it was recorded in live but it appears you must be right ! I've corrected, thank you !
No problem! Thank you for the upload!
Halford Jr. 🤘😎
Actually, that's pretty good.
No es un cover es judas priest
:))) 🍷
German drum style is so rigid thats ugly .
Better than the gay softness of American Drummers!
What do you mean German drum style?
Drums as an instrument are rigid.

Drummer is beign an artist also.

Great cover. A little ( not much ) too fast but well played. Hats off to them.
