	Hell Bent for Leather - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hell Bent for Leather (UK title: Killing Machine) is an album by Judas Priest.
		When "Killing Machine" was going to be released in the US, the American branch of Columbia/CBS did not like the "murderous implications" of the album title and it was re-titled Hell Bent for Leather for stateside release.
		The track "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)", an early Fleetwood Mac cover, was added to the running order, as it was not on the UK release.

		Of the two sayings, “hell bent,” meaning “recklessly determined,” is the more common today, and has been popular since the early 19th century, describing someone who is prepared to go “to the gates of hell” in pursuit of a goal.
		The first recorded use of “hell for leather,” by the way, was in a story written in 1889 by Rudyard Kipling, who probably either invented the phrase or picked it up from British Army troops in India.
		Just what the “leather” in the phrase means is uncertain -- it may refer to a leather crop used to spur the horse, or it may refer to the wear and tear inflicted on the saddle by strenuous riding.

		Hell bent for leather seems to be a very recent usage in which two phrases: hell-bent and hell for leather have been run together.
		The bent in hell-bent means "determined" or "resolute", as in "bent on revenge", so hell-bent means "intent on going to hell".
		It is understood to mean "as fast as possible", having retained the meaning of hell for leather with the extraneous bent.

		Leather is not a "byproduct" of the meat industry; animals are specifically raised and killed for it under the most abusive conditions.

		In Reply to: origin of "hell bent for leather" posted by garry on September 01, 2001
		Hell bent -- "I Hear America Talking" by Stuart Berg Flexner (1976, Van Nostrand Reinhold Company) says "hell bent, 1835; hell bent for leather, late 1920s; hell bent for breakfast, 1931" are American terms for moving fast or doing something quickly, the earliest ones coined during the period of growth called the Industrial Revolution.
		Possibly (Rudyard) Kipling coined it, for he was the first to record it, though he may have been actually quoting army speech.

	BBC - Classic Pop/Rock Review - Judas Priest, Hell Bent For Leather
		In the late seventies, when the likes Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath deserted the UK for lucrative stateside touring, or tipped over into the abyss of rehab hell, legions of heavy metal fans got their fix from the DIY arrival of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.
		By ditching the blues influences that had previously dominated heavy rock, and co-opting the high-speed energy of punk which had recently emerged, Judas Priest was one of the key bands that led the NWOBHM charge.
		What singer Rob Halford did was to take the HM penchant for leather to its logical conclusion, arriving on stage via a Harley Davidson, bedecked in studs and S&M gear, cracking bullwhips and pouting for England.

		I also haven't put any kind of leather treatment on it yet, which might help.
		If your bikes are set up correctly (and having fancy-schmancy leather need-to-be-broken-in seats I'd assume they are), then it's probably your bodies that are a tad out of alignment.
		Your choice of bodyworker (massage therapist, chiropractor, craniosacral therapist, etc) can probably help you with that (contact me for appointments) - but then you'd have to buy a new seat to break it in correctly for your newly tuned body.

	Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather [Expanded Edition] \| Best price for Music on CD Album
		Hell Bent for Leather is the first record of what I would term the second phase of the Priest sound which spans from this record up to Screaming for Vengeance.
		"Hell Bent for Leather" led me into the rest of the 70's Priest albums, "Rocka Rolla," "Sad Wings of Destiny," "Sin After Sin," Stained Glass," & "Unleashed in the East," though with the exception (maybe) of "Unleashed in the East," "Hell Bent for Leather" was my favorite Priest album.
		The truly beautiful ballads, "Evening Star," "Before the Dawn" & the killer title cut "Hell Bent for Leather." These songs still rock my roll, but the ludicrously banal pep song for metal misfits (Yes, I was one, still am) "Take on the World" turned my gut even back then, more so now.

		Judas Priest was still not a very big name, but on the underground circuit they’d built up an excellent reputation for the raw energy they brought to the stage.
		1980 was a big year for heavy metal –; Sabbath released the killer Heaven and Hell record, Iron Maiden made their debut and Judas Priest presented the British Steel record which made them rock stars overnight and formally ushered in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
		And this is why Priest’s reunion could be the real deal, the biggest injection the metal world has received over the last decade.
