00:09Brotherhood delivers the ultimate tribute.

00:17crystallization of respect that's been building for over a decade.
00:21When you've been walking onto stages to someone else's anthem for 10 years, recording your

00:49significant goodbye.

00:55ritualistic connection between band and audience before the first chord rings out.

01:04something uniquely theirs, while maintaining the original's anti-war fury.
01:10Their recent documentary project captures decades of metal evolution, showing how bands like
01:14Black Sabbath shaped entire generations of musicians.
01:18Your favorite metal moments often trace back to these foundational influences, and Judas Priest's
01:23cover makes those connections explicit rather than implied.
01:27Amidst playlist conformity, Judas Priest's War Pigs cover affirms metal's enduring legacy.

01:38in metal's ecosystem, celebrating music cherished globally on YouTube.
