In 1986 indie filmmakers John Heyn and Jeff Krulik wandered around a Maryland sports arena parking lot with a video camera, seeking to capture footage of Judas Priest fans in their native habitat. Among their muscle cars and between sips of Budweiser, the feather-haired followers of Priest put on a show rivaling any entertainment occurring inside the stadium that night. Bellowing and proselytizing their enthusiasm for all things related to leather-clad men with guitars, these fans are easy to laugh at for their drunken cluelessness, but are equally endearing for the way they represent rabid fandom in general. These gems are now on youtube and you can also buy the DVD on amazon. This is by far the best shit I’ve watched in a long time and the fact it’s in Maryland makes it even sweeter. Nothing better than a Maryland accent… Maybe a PA one but thats it.
The youtube clip is about 31 minutes but if you dont have that kind of commitment I HIGHLY suggest checking this short clip from it, Fucking hysterical!
