In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I first heard Judas Priest at 6 years old in 1980. It was my dad's record of Unleashed In The East. I thought they looked cool on the front cover, so I put the record on. as soon as I heard it, it made me want to play guitar! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Deep Purple, Machine Head (Remastered) Judas Priest, Unleashed In the East (Live) Live in Japan Metallica, Master of Puppets (Remastered) My parents named me after Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple so that was my introduction to music that I liked.
