OK, I think this cd "Sad Wings Of Destiny" really shows all sides of Judas Priest. From a slow ballad Dreamer Deciever to your hard rockin' Tyrant or Genocide. This cd also shows what talent lies in Glen Tipton as well. We all know that Rob Halford is one of the best vocalists in heavy metal, and we also know the talents of KK Downing & Glen Tipton, and the rest of the guys, but if you don't own this cd, you might just hear a side of Glen Tipton that you've never heard before. He plays one of the finest emotional guitar solos on the song "Dreamer Deceiver" that I've ever heard. It's one solo which has an awesome display of blusey feeling rarely heard from Glen. Most of the time he just plays his usual rockin' guitar solos, but this one is different from his usual guitar style. It's a smooth solo which builds up to a climactic ending with Glen and Rob Halford hitting the same extreme high note together....This cd usually stays in my cd player for unusally long lengths of time. It's an oldie but a goodie!
