the origin of Priest started with Al Atkin creating a band. it wasn't Priest and the band name was unknown as far as I know. the lieup was.

Bruno Stapenhill - bass

Al Atkins - vocals

John Perry - guitar

John Partridge then join on drums. shortly after Joh Perry was killed by someone in a car trying to kill themselves. so Earnest Chataway was his replacement. few years later, Al quited the band and found some of his old school mates, Ian Hill (The Bass) John Ellis (Drummer) and Kenneth Downing (K.K.) (who was rejected from joining Al's previous group due to lack of experience). Alan "Skip" Moore would then be the drummer for priest, replacing John Ellis. a year later he was then replace by Chris Campell. What is it with Priest and drummers?

amd then few years later, Campell and Al left the group, Halford joined, and Glenn

Tipton became the second guitarist, duoling with K.K.

so the original lineup started with

Bruno Stapenhill - bass

Al Atkins - vocals

John Perry - guitar

then it was

Bruno Stapenhill - bass

Al Atkins - vocals

John Partridge - drums

Earnest Chataway - guitar

then in formation of priest

Al Aktins - vocals

Ian Hill - bass

K.K. Downing - Guitar

John Ellis - Drums, then Alan Moore, then Bruce Campell on drums, then John Hinch (once Halford and Tipton joined), Alan Moore again, then Simon Phillips, then Les Binks, Then Dave Holland (who would stay with the band for nearly 10 years) then finally Scott Travis (who's still with the group)
