“Stained Class turned me on to Priest as a 14-year-old with Les Binks on drums! Great drummer, he was!” added another, referring to the band’s 1978 album.
In an 2021 interview with The Metal Voice, Binks explained why he departed from Judas Priest.
"I wasn't signed to the record company, and when it came to the live album, Unleashed in the East, the management company thought I should do it for free,” Binks added. "That album went platinum, outsold all the previous albums, and the management didn't want to pay me for it, crazy."
Despite leaving the band, however, Binks reunited with Judas Priest after 43 years to perform at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
