Victim Of Changes (song)
"Victim of Changes" is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, featured on their 1976 studio album Sad Wings of Destiny. Adrien Begrand, writing for PopMatters, claimed the song changed the course of metal history. The guitar work is noted as well, Bob Gendron praising the song's "landslide riffs" in the Chicago Tribune. The "epic" song has become a Judas Priest classic, and Martin Popoff listed it at #17 in his "Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time".
The song is a combination of two songs by two Judas Priest singers: "Whiskey Woman," by Priest founder Al Atkins, and "Red Light Lady" by later singer Rob Halford. Live versions of the song appear on several of Judas Priest's live albums, such as Unleashed in the East, '98 Live Meltdown and Live in London.

Famous quotes containing the word victim:
“Never assume one child is always the victim and the other the aggressor. Remember, no matter how things appear, it takes two to tango. If you look closely enough ... you will see how the victim subtly provokes the aggressor into attacking.”
