938 - Judas Priest Hell Bent For Leather 1978

"Killing Machine" is the fifth studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in November 1978. The album was Judas Priest's first stab at a "different" sound, and was created at about the same time that the band members adopted their now-famous "leather-and-studs" style. "Killing Machine" was retitled "Hell Bent for Leather" for US release, as the US branch of Columbia/CBS did not like the "murderous implications" of the album title.
This song is very popular amongst fans and has been played live since its release. Contrary to popular opinion, "Hell Bent For Leather" was not used as the Harley song since the idea was born. That song was "Tyrant", and this was used as the song where Rob Halford usually enters the stage using his motorcycle. Around 1982, the band permamently dropped "Tyrant" from its set, and "Hell Bent For Leather" was used as the new Harley song.
