Judas Priest
are a British
heavy metal
band formed in
Birmingham
, England, in 1969. The band has sold over 45 million albums to date.
MTV
ranked them the second greatest metal band of all time. Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band struggled with indifferently-produced records, repeated changes of drummer and a lack of major commercial success or attention until 1980, when they adopted a more simplified sound on the album
British Steel
, which helped shoot them to rock superstar status. In 1989, they were named as defendants in an unsuccessful lawsuit alleging that
subliminal
messages on the song “
Better By You, Better Than Me
” had caused the suicide attempts of two young men.
The band’s membership has seen much turnover, including a revolving cast of drummers in the 1970s, and the temporary departure of singer
Rob Halford
in the early 1990s. The current line-up consists of Halford, guitarists
Glenn Tipton
and
Richie Faulkner
, bassist
Ian Hill
, and drummer
Scott Travis
. The band’s best-selling album is 1982’s
Screaming for Vengeance
with their most commercially successful line-up, featuring Halford, Tipton, Hill, guitarist
K. K. Downing
, and drummer
Dave Holland
.
Their influence, while mainly Halford’s operatic vocal style and the twin guitar sound of Downing and Tipton, has been adopted by many bands. Their image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing were widely influential during the
glam metal
era of the 1980s.
The Guardian
referred to
British Steel
as the record that defines heavy metal. Despite a decline in exposure during the mid 1990s, the band has once again seen a resurgence, including worldwide tours, being inaugural inductees into the
VH1 Rock Honors
in 2005, receiving a
Grammy Award
for
Best Metal Performance
in 2010, and their songs featured in video games such as
Guitar Hero
and the
Rock Band
series.
Queensrÿche

is an American
heavy metal
band formed in 1982 in
Bellevue
,
Washington
, out of the local band the Mob. The band has released 14 studio albums, one
EP
and several
DVDs
, and continues to tour and record. The original lineup consisted of vocalist
Geoff Tate
, guitarists
Chris DeGarmo
and
Michael Wilton
, bassist
Eddie Jackson
and drummer
Scott Rockenfield
.
Queensrÿche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide, including over 6 million albums in the
United States
. The band received worldwide acclaim after the release of their 1988 album
Operation: Mindcrime
, which is often considered one of the greatest
heavy metal
concept albums
of all time.

Their follow-up release,
Empire
, released in 1990, was also very successful and included the hit single “
Silent Lucidity
“. The band has received three
Grammy Award
nominations for songs off both albums. In 1998, drummer Rockenfield received an individual Grammy nomination.
In 1997, guitarist and primary songwriter DeGarmo left the band for personal reasons. Over the years, his replacements have been
Kelly Gray
,
Mike Stone
, and
Parker Lundgren
, respectively. Following a highly publicized backstage altercation before a show in
São Paulo
,
Brazil
in April 2012, Tate was fired from the band and replaced with then-
Crimson Glory
singer
Todd La Torre
. In response to his dismissal, Tate and his wife Susan (who served as the band’s manager from 2005–2012) filed a
lawsuit
in a Washington court, claiming that he was wrongfully terminated. The ruling in the
preliminary injunction
was that both parties were allowed to use the name Queensrÿche until a court ruling or a settlement decides who gets to use the name.
[4]
A settlement was reached on April 17, 2014,
[5]
in which founding members Wilton, Rockenfield and Jackson were awarded the rights to the band trademark, continuing to play with the lineup that additionally includes singer La Torre and guitarist Lundgren.
[6]
During the time both parties could use the name Queensrÿche, Tate created his own lineup featuring former guitarist Gray and musicians from bands including
Blue Öyster Cult
,
Ozzy Osbourne
,
Whitesnake
,
Dio
,
AC/DC
and
Quiet Riot
.

[8]
This version of Queensrÿche with Geoff Tate released the album
Frequency Unknown
on 23 April 2013,
[9]
while Queensrÿche (with La Torre replacing Tate) released their
eponymous album
on 24 and 25 June 2013 (European and American release date, respectively).
[10]
Both bands toured in 2013 and 2014.
