Transcript
00:00I've often seen this on Hard & Heavy. It's the most terrifying thing you can ever wish to go through.
00:06So please, God, don't let there be anything in here that I'm going to regret. Oh, dear.
00:10I've got absolute confidence in myself.
00:13I'm going to feel... I'm going to feel for something that's going to, er...
00:18Yeah, come on. Subliminal persuasion.
00:23Of all the things I could have picked in this sack, the first thing I'd pick is this one.
00:28It's that deep. Well, I think everybody knows what this is all about, don't you?
00:33We went through hell and back in the cause of freedom, and we won.
00:40And this is actually to stop stuttering.
00:45So I shall use this, because when I get excited, I do stutter a little bit.
00:49Of course, it won't work, because I just don't believe in this stuff at all.
00:53Subliminal persuasion.
00:56We said if we were going to put anything subliminal on our records,
00:59it would be buy seven copies of this album, three or four times.
01:04Ah! A subject close to my heart, Harley-Davidson's.
01:08It's so reassuring to know that they're back being constructed in America.
01:14What can you say? Harley-Davidson's, to me, are the ultimate motorcycles.
01:19And priests go way back with this particular beast.
01:25I still ride them myself.
01:27For those of you that only see me on stage on one, I actually do own one, or two actually,
01:33and do ride them in the desert in Phoenix, Arizona.
01:36So would-be motorcyclists, buy a Harley's.
01:40Hopefully they'll give me a free one after that plug.
01:44I wish. They're so expensive now.
01:47And now what have we got in here?
01:50The masters of heavy metal.
01:53And look, we're the last on the list, but at least we're there,
01:57starting with Jimi Hendrix, who's the ultimate, one of the ultimate heavy metal guitar gods.
02:02He was partly responsible for all this, you know, what we're doing now.
02:06Who else is in here? Eddie Van Halen.
02:09That's Eddie on the front, when he had long hair.
02:12Def Leppard, Jimmy Page, Ted the Madman Nugent.
02:15I shall read this a little bit later on.
02:18Yes, every harm should have one, masters of heavy metal.
02:22Makes good reading.
02:24And now, I'm always going to pull out two things at one time.
02:29Come on.
02:31New kids on the block.
02:35And now, oh, I pulled out two at one time. I can't possibly do that.
02:39I caught a glimpse of that one, John. In fact, I'll pull her out now, shall I?
02:43Is it Cheryl? It's Cheryl.
02:46Oh, Cheryl, where have you been all my life?
02:49But where's the picture of me in this?
02:51Cheryl and I go way, way back. When was this taken?
02:551977.
02:57She's a very nice lady.
02:59We did a photo session together on the top of the Meridian Hotel in New York,
03:05at the swimming pool, in the blazing heat, and I was decked out like this.
03:10She was wearing something very skimpy, a lot more suitably dressed than I was,
03:15but we had a wonderful time together.
03:17I don't know where she is now, though, these days.
03:20She's probably keeping somebody very happy.
03:22She was me.
03:24What do we have here?
03:26The Great 28, Chuck Berry. Chuck Berry, yes, of course.
03:30Johnny B. Goode, he was one of the men responsible for that song,
03:34and he was at the whole start of rock and roll.
03:38We did Johnny B. Goode on Ram it Down.
03:43The reason we did that, I mean, like I said, rock and roll is where it all started,
03:49like in the 50s, and this is one of the guys responsible for where we've got to now,
03:55eventually in 1990, so he's a great reference to listen to, you know?
04:00Got some great songs on here.
04:02The obvious ones, a lot of roll over, Beethoven and Maybelline and Sweet Little Sixteen.
04:07Twenty-Eight Tracks on this.
04:09Chess. I wonder if they've given him all the money they still owe him.
04:13Right.
04:15Or if Chess is still there. MCI, that is now.
04:18I am MCI.
04:20Judas Priest, rock and roller.
04:22This is a much better cover than the original one.
04:25The Bottle Top. Oh, my God.
04:28Those were the early days when they pointed us in a direction,
04:32and we said, yes, sir, we'll do this,
04:34and then they pointed us in another direction and said, OK, we'll do this now.
04:38Anything to get on.
04:40But this is a slightly better cover.
04:43Rock and Roller, the first album that Judas Priest ever made in 1974,
04:48and there's some great stuff on here even now,
04:50if you want to listen to things like Never Satisfied and Run of the Mill,
04:54which is one of the first ever power metal ballads,
04:57which everybody does these days.
05:00It's still available, and look, it's on RCA now.
05:03This album has been released just about by everybody on this planet.
05:07I can't believe it. We still haven't had a penny back.
05:11And see, we go from this, which is, how much was this?
05:14$10 and what? $11.99.
05:16To this one, which is on CBS.
05:18They're nice price, but we're still in the record shops, folks.
05:23But this, of course, is Stained Glass.
05:25This is the infamous, supposed subliminal album.
05:28Of course, there are absolutely no subliminal messages on here,
05:31so if you're going to buy it for that, I wouldn't buy it for that.
05:34Just buy it for the good music, because it's a great record.
05:37Exciter, White Heat, Savage, Beyond the Realms of Death.
05:41It's a fantastic record, and I still believe in it.
06:01For a rock and roll
06:04That will set us free
06:08We want it hard
06:13Hard and heavy
06:17We want it hard
06:22Hard and heavy
06:24Yeah
06:26We may be young
06:28But that's alright
06:31We got something to say
06:35We're going left
06:38But that ain't right
06:40We're gonna power up and let the music play
06:45We want it hard
06:50Hard and heavy
06:52We want it hard
06:54We want it hard
