Judas Priest

'''THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, MAY CONTAIN FACTUAL INNACCURACIES, AND MAY UNDERGO REVISIONS.

Judas Priest is a band formed in 1969 by singer Al Atkins, guitarist John Perry, bassist Bruno Stapenhill, and drummer John Partridge.

Guitarist John Perry was killed in a road accident and was replaced by guitarist Ernie Chataway.

The band signed a three album contract with the label Immediate, but the label went out of business before the band were able to record even one album.

The band then split up.

Later, Al Atkins hooked up with former Freight members guitarist K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer John Ellis and they became the new Judas Priest.

John Ellis was replaced by Alan Moore.
