RIP Les Binks…

Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!

Another incredible player gone…
Farewell to the great Les Binks…
I’m off to listen to Unleashed In The East - his playing on that is off the scale…

Rest in peace, Les Binks! You were a skinpounding powerhouse in one of the greatest eras of this band's history.

I’ve just seen this and by coincidence I’m listening to Beyond the Realms of Death.

Great drummer and a sad loss.

RIP Les

Northern Irish drummer Les Binks has died at 73. He is most known for drumming for Judas Priest from 1977 to 1979. He played on drum-heavy 1978 JP song “Take On The World” - later covered live by Human League & its drum patterns sampled by Spoon on 2021’s “Wild” m.youtube.com/watch?v=ymmR...

Today in Heavy Metal History - 9th October 1978:
Judas Priest released their fifth studio album, 'Killing Machine' on Columbia Records.

It was the band's last studio album to feature drummer Les Binks.

Sad news to hear about the passing of former Judas Priest drummer, Les Binks. 'Take On All The World', with Binks' thunderous drums, was the first Judas Priest song I ever heard, and they became my favourite band.

RIP.
