Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance Turns 30

(Classic Rock) Retired Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing believes timing played a vital role in the band's rise to fame.

Discussing the 30th anniversary of their Screaming for Vengeance record he says: "A lot of bands have released albums that did not have a particular impact at the time, but went on to be revered as classics. One could argue Painkiller was just such an album and I'm optimistic Nostradamus will follow.

"Back to Screaming � I felt we were on a roll and nothing could stop us, and it didn't. I wish I could turn back time and experience the whole things again. It certainly was the year that Judas Priest was screaming for vengeance."
