Hell Bent for Leather
Hell Bent for Leather is the leather-and-studs title track that gave Judas Priest their US album name — a lean, driving Marshall riff built for speed. K.K. Downing drove his red 1967 Gibson Flying V into cranked, non-master 50-watt Marshall Super Leads, with a Cry Baby wah for the accents and a Maestro Echoplex trailing the leads. No high-gain channel — the grind is a Flying V slamming a pushed plexi.
