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:
“Anger is always concerned with individuals, ... whereas hatred is directed also against classes: we all hate any thief and any informer. Moreover, anger can be cured by time; but hatred cannot. The one aims at giving pain to its object, the other at doing him harm; the angry man wants his victim to feel; the hater does not mind whether they feel or not.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
