You should catch Dolly Parton's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rob Halford looked like he was having a bucket list moment when he sang a verse of Jolene with Dolly. It was a totally unexpected fantastic moment.
Judas Priest had some popular hits back in the day with: "You got another thing coming". And "Breaking the Law" Loved those as well. Love you's guys. Keep em coming.
It's always good to do a YT search (such as "Rob Squad Judas Priest" ) to see what's been covered already. JMO. (It's not as if I remembered anything other than "Painkiller", myself.)
This came out in 86. A lot of metal bands were using synthesizer sounds at this time. You should try their earlier stuff like "Freewheel Burning" "Living After Midnight" "Love Bites" "Electric Eye"
I remember driving around with my buddies all stoned listening to this in his Dodge Duster with some crazy loud stereo, the dudes in the back seat were so high the one guy was tripping badly from the pounding of the bass, lol, we had to pull over and let him get some air. Oh man the memories.
Judas Priest caught a lot of flack when they released this album in 1986 for the mere fact of incorporating keyboards into their sound. Many felt that is softened their sound but I think it just rounded it out more. I had this on cassette and played it on my Walkman constantly!!! Another song off of this album y'all should check out is "Parental Guidance". Banger!!
We’re Not Gonna Take It -Twisted Sister. Guys, this is one hair song that was so epic in the 80s. I know both of you will enjoy the song and please watch it with the video. It makes it even more epic.
And if you think Dee Snyder is just a silly rock and roller watch the video that’s out there about when he faced off against congress on the obscenity issue.
@@terryconnelly484 I think that you are mistaken. The Senate hearings were in 1986 or '87, I was still in the Navy. 2 Live Crew wasn't until, I wanna say, '89. Also, I don't remember Rob Halford at those hearings either. Me and my buddies would come off shift, and watch C-SPAN. Judas Priest WAS on the "filthy 15". The Musicians who did testify were John Denver, Dee Snider, and Frank Zappa gave one of the most prolific dressing down of politicians to their face, maybe ever. You can find his testimony right here on you tube. Those hearings should be a cautionary tale for anyone who wants to try and force their beliefs on others. Tipper Gore heard her daughters listening to "Darling Nikki" by Prince, and thought parents needed her help in policing the music industry. My parents didn't. I didn't. My daughter didn't. Because we actually had no problem telling our kids no. I can't speak for everyone, nor would I want to. But I see way too many parents trying to reason with their kids, instead of parenting their kids. My son would be 40 years old this year if he wouldn't have passed at 16. And I can count on 1 finger how many times I spanked him. But he remembered it, I guarantee. My dad could've counted on 1... hand, though he wouldn't have got to his thumb, but to this day, I remember what each and every one was for, and I am going to be 56 in June. That's why so many kids today have no respect for themselves because they were never taught to have respect for others. Sorry about my soapbox. I'll step down and shut up now.
In the early eighties Priest could do no wrong. One of the biggest acts in metal they laid the tracks for the leather and loud guitars that swept the nation and the world. Judas Priest with Rob Halford leading the way with his insane amazing vocals became metal GODS. Love it!!
Fun fact! Turbo Lover was the initial pick for the movie Top Gun. It was only after Judas Priest turned the collaboration down that the filmmakers used Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone.
When asked, Rob Halford replied in Kerrang Magazine. "What is this song about, Rob?" "Gay sex." Yep. He was singing about the man he was partnered with. Why do you think ole Rob Wore all that BDSM gear!?! You will never be able to unsee this comment.
I was a Judas Priest fan for a number of years before this came out. I remember returning to college for my sophomore year and my girlfriend telling me that they were playing Judas Priest in the dance clubs in her hometown over the summer break. Sure enough, pretty soon our college town clubs were playing "Turbo Lover" and people were dancing to it. I was horrified to see the frat boys and sorority girls bobbing their heads and singing along. It felt like sacrilege!
Rob Halford, the lead singer, did a great collaboration with Five Finger Death Punch called Lift Me Up, which is hard mental. He is 71 years old and has battled prostate cancer and is married to his husband Thomas. Judias Priest was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.
Same here!! Seen JP 4x from 81' til 93' I've been a metalhead since 1977. When I was 11, they played Led Zeppelin at my school dance! But I wanted heavier, at 13 I found JP and a few others. Now I'm 58, it's still my favorite kind of music! I love more metal than rock. But yes, Judas Priest are one of metals godfathers, Iron Maiden, ACDC, & Metallica the Four!! 🎼🎸🤘❤️❤️❤️
In his prime, Rob Halford had the vocal range of an opera singer. He could hit notes most sopranos couldn't. He's lost a little as he's gotten older, but he can STILL belt it out like almost no other metal singer ever.
Awesome reaction. You guys should do "Electric Eye" and have the lyrics handy. It may be from 1982 but it's just as relevant today. They've done 18 studio albums so far. 5 in the 1970s and 6 in the 1980s. This was 1986.
Another fantastic reaction! Thank you. I graduated in 84. I had this album on cassette. I had a friend with a boombox that was so large and Powerful it was better than my car stereo. We repeatedly blasted this song from the backseat of my 73 Super Beetle😂
85 grad here Troy and you took the words out of my mouth except me and my buddies cruised around in my '77 Camaro. Back then, having a kick-ass sound system and speakers in my car was priority No. 1 and we sure did rock those cassette tapes in the Ol' 77 Camaro. Oh how my priorities have changed since then, but hell, we were still kids and trying to have fun, rocking to the metal bands, and just enjoying our young lives. We were such punks now that I look back but I only wish I could go back to those days.
@@RobPresq1717 Did you blow your hearing out like I did haha? Was a '78 red Camaro for me and an '87 grad lol My Cerwin Vega speakers and stereo and all the many concerts, including Priest in 84 did my hearing in and now I talk very loud but I still listen to the music loud, something my 17 year old son hates to no end. He just doesn't get why me and his Dad have to play the music so loud.
@@vaskylark Surprisingly no I didn't but I probably should have. Ah yes, the Camaro's were the car back then. I thought I was so cool driving around it in too, haha. Well, hey, at least I looked cool even though I never really was but it didn't hurt when it came to picking up girls at least. Thanks for the comment/reply my friend. We took such pride in our car speakers back in the day, so hopefully your son will understand that, yes, his dad was a head banger back then.
I remember back in the 1980's and played this with other young black sailors back then around 1983 and one of them like the beat and charged him up. This was when our ship was homeported in Norfolk Virginia and we were in the Atlantic Ocean during preparing our ship for deployment in 6 months.
This is definitely a Judas Priest song that you like after you already like Judas Priest. You need to hear “Living After Midnight”, Hell Bent for Leather “, You’ve got another thing coming”, maybe “Electric Eye”
My good friend picked me up every day from high school blasting this...good times. Breaking The Law and You Gotta Another Thing Coming are rocking too....Seems weird to see Rob with hair, lol...
I was a Priest fan since day one. Seen them 6 times live in DFW, never disappointed. People pissed me off when they boycotted them after Rob came out. Like, who gives a damn, they rock.
I'll never forget attending a family reunion the day after seeing J. P. from the turbo lover tour. My grandma saw me in my concert shirt and everyone thought she was giving birth to a herd of unicorns the way she carried on. Apparently her church taught that anyone who attended a JP concert had sold their souls during the show
This was, sort of, their answer to the synth-layden new wave pop songs that were prevalent at the time. "Touch of Evil" is my personal favorite Judas Priest song.
This song came out when I was in my early 20’s… I had a pretty fast car and every time this song came on, I’d put the pedal to the floor. Loved it. My girlfriend was pretty fond of it too… 😉
Great Video as ALWAYS Guys!!!! Next on the JP list needs to be "Freewheel Burning"... *Little talked about song but quite a headbanger and another familiar tune to any Gran Turismo OST fans*
Absolutely amazing track! And they kill it in concert, too! Here's a link to a live version--the vocals & guitar work are incredible: th-cam.com/video/8hPgf5F3ZJs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JudasPriestVEVO
I saw this tour in Philly mid80s. My first real concert, at the Spectrum. That's where Rocky fought Apollo Creed, by the way. I couldn't barely hear for 2 days. During one song, the Entire drum kit, WITH the drummer rose up as a giant 20 ft tall robot. Then, the arms of the robot reached out and picked up each dueling guitarist, and moved them up and down while they played solos ( like 10-15 ft in the air!). Seriously, I am very concientious about music and all things related. It happened. I was like 15 or 16 and blown away.
Turbo came out after You've Got Another Thing Comin', and before Painkiller. It was considered very experimental for the band, because a lot of the guitar you hear is actually synthesized. The drums also have a touch of a synth drum sound, almost drum machine like.
Love your reactions guys. This album came out in 1985. I listened to this album over and over when I was at Ft. McClellan Alabama the night before BRM. I was so amped at the range I qualified expert.
This album was pretty divisive for a lot of die-hard Priest fans when it was released, but I always enjoyed a lot of the tunes on "Turbo". I agree with the thoughts below, the live versions are even heavier and really great. The "Priest Live!" CD/DVD they released from this tour is killer. Also highly recommend "Out in the Cold," "Private Property" and "Parental Guidance" off this one. Either way, you can never go wrong with those KK Downing and Glenn Tipton dual guitars!!
I'm Mexican,I was 15 in 1988. My WHITE ROCKER homie got me hi. Then put 2 woofers on either side of my head. Played THIS SONG! I was mesmerized! I loved rock from this point forward!
When I first heard this song 32 years ago I was blown away and I instantly get a mental image of two female dancers in shimmering lavender body suits dancing to this absolute killer of a song.
I’ve been trying to tell you guys for at least a year or more to check out Riding on the Wind from these guys. I’m the Old School and know exactly what I’m talking about here. I’ve been listening to them since the 70’s and have seen them live in concert 21 times over the decades. I KNOW this stuff! It’s off their Screaming for Vengeance album in the early 80’s and was considered their peak, at least commercially. Studio Version Only Please! (It’s the record recording, the cleanest version to hear first) and go Loud! I personally guarantee this Badass, High Energy, Classic, Hard Rock Jam! Trust me and don’t just look at views and likes on this because most of the people posting those weren’t even alive when this came out and probably aren’t even aware of this adrenaline blast of a song! It’s not obscure to lifelong fans like me and it got regular radio airplay back then so it’s not just my opinion or one of my favorites, which it is for a damn good reason. I think you both will absolutely agree. It IS a KILLER song! Go For IT! Much, much better than Turbo Lover. I saw both those tours and many others, like I said. My opinion is rock solid valid on this.
This album (1986's "Turbo") was disowned at the time by the die-hard Priest (and other metal) fans for its use of synths and more shiny production; I always loved it, though. And Rob Halford's soaring voice and the twin-lead-guitars still kick. In '86, you couldn't play D&D without it. :)
I saw them live in Phoenix AZ in 1986 Turbo tour. I was attending AAI automotive school just after graduation. Awesome concert. Also saw Aerosmith, Scorpions, Metallica, Ozzy in 1985 to 1986
The 'Turbo' album by Judas Priest was an attempt to appeal to a commercial audience... especially after the popularity of bands like Ratt, ZZ Top, Bon Jovi and the Scorpions. The original concept of the record was a double album - synthesizers and beats on one disc... guitars and metal on the other... the title - 'Twin Turbos'... the record label said 'no'. So, it was commercial album first ('Turbo') in 1986 and then heavy metal album second ('Ram it down') in 1988... U can see the costume changes that Priest members were wearing and the big hair 😂But 'Turbo' was not the big hit that the band had hoped for - it sold gold (half million copies) in the US, and they recorded a live album 'Priest live' from that '86 tour, released in 1987. It was strange to hear Judas Priest singing songs like 'Out in the cold'... 'Locked in'... 'Private property'... which were more personal and electronic-sounding, rather than the shredding metal they were famous for.
Pure, unadulterated heavy, HEAVY METAL, Priest is at the very top, one of the very best Live shows I have ever attended in the 60 or 70 big name concerts i have witnessed!!!
When guitar synthesizers hit in the mid 1980s, several bands did an album using them, most notably Judas Priest with Turbo, and Iron Maiden with Somewhere in Time. You should definitely do a reaction video for Stranger in a Strang Land by the latter:)
It's been awhile since I listened to Judas Priest . OMG! I forgot what an amazing vocalist Rob Halford is. His ability to effortlessly alternate between a throaty growl and ear piercing falsetto is why people used to call him the "Rock God". If you really want to hear him wail, listen to "The Ripper". Great reaction, as always. God bless and keep listening to the hits.
I don't care what anyone else thinks "Turbo" was a great Judas Priest album.
Name a bad one ☝️
Besides Nostradamus 😊
Metal God's, Electric Eye, The Ripper, Green Manalishi (Fleetwood Mac cover), Diamonds and Rust (Joan Baez cover) are other great Judas Priest songs
You should catch Dolly Parton's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rob Halford looked like he was having a bucket list moment when he sang a verse of Jolene with Dolly. It was a totally unexpected fantastic moment.
Judas Priest is 80's ROYALTY
"Screaming For Vengeance!
Judas Priest had some popular hits back in the day with: "You got another thing coming". And "Breaking the Law" Loved those as well. Love you's guys. Keep em coming.
They've actually done both of those songs, as well as "Painkiller" and "Victim of Changes".
Plus Hell Bent For Leather, Living After Midnight, Screaming For Vengeance, You've Got Another Comin', Some Heads Are Gonna Roll, United.
I can't watch Breaking the Law without seeing Beavis and Butthead headbanging to it
@@miconis123 me too

Check out Judas Priest "The Sentinel", "Jawbreaker". "Freewheel Burning". "Angel"
Judas priest 52 heavy metal years.!!! Pure metal band 🤟🤟
Judas Priest has a ton of classics. An underrated gem is Out In The Cold.
You beat me to it on that song
Yup
This is another song to play loud in your car with the gas pedal to the floor!!! Thanks for getting to it guys!
For me, it's on the bike, with the throttle twisted all the way back.
@@madmanonwheels5150 Amen!!!

That way you let everyone know you're in your 50s or 60s.
Livin’ After Midnight next please! Great Judas Priest banger.
I second that!
Agreed.
My favorite!!!!!
One of my favorites too. That'd be a good one to do next.

Cyborg skeletons in an apocalyptic wasteland ?... yeah that's Judas Priest...
Wow! Sabbath and Priest in one night! 🤘
Judas Priest is great rock!
I remember back in the 80s annoying the neighbours with this classic 😉
Same. Our house couldn't get enough of this one.
The Sentinel is a really killer song too.
Also some early Preist 'The Ripper' and 'Dreamer Deceiver' really show case Rob Halfords vocal talent!
And Last Rose of Summer from the Sin After Sin album. That album was my first introduction to Priest.

Turbo is such a great 80s party album. Trow it into your car at 2 am and keep the night going.
JP was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This song is a perfect example of why.
Yeah, it's about time, no?!😉

Victim of Changes from the live album Unleashed in the East is killer.
The slbum prior blows this one away
" Screaming For Vengance"
Check " The Hellion, Elictrtuc Eye" (Hellion is the introduction).
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Agreed. I have been listening to Judas Priest for 40 years. That's my all time favorite. And live? YES!!
Wife here...!!!...Rock On.. "Breakin the Law".., The first song I could completely play on 🎸!!

The extended version is awesome. Glenn’s longer guitar solo and Halford’s background vocals is like no other🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘
When Halford came out they “music elite” thought he would loose everything. Headbangers did not give a sh%% ! He rocks !!
You 2 need to do a live version of Priest- he sounds just as good or better. Halford has INCREDIBLE VOCALS !!!!!
"Freewheel Burning" would be a GREAT one to show off his talents! th-cam.com/video/8hPgf5F3ZJs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JudasPriestVEVO
My intro to JP was Hell Bent for Leather. Great song and great album. Got it in a cutout bin for $2.
Rob Halford, the lead singer, did a great collaboration with Five Finger Death Punch called Lift Me Up, which is hard mental.
He is 71 years old and has battled prostate cancer and is married to his husband Thomas.
Judias Priest was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.
And he can still sing unbelievably! I saw them …..last year? Year before?
Halford has one of the best screams ever! Truly remarkable voice and I was lucky to see them in concert 3 times during the ‘80s!

You Got Another Thing Coming, Heads Are Gonna Roll, Headed To The Highway, Electric Eye and many more! All GREAT songs trust me!!!! ❤
In his prime, Rob Halford had the vocal range of an opera singer. He could hit notes most sopranos couldn't. He's lost a little as he's gotten older, but he can STILL belt it out like almost no other metal singer ever.
"Living After Midnight", "Breaking the Law", and "You've Got Another Thing Coming", by Judas Priest
🎸some heads are gonna roll🎸
Great stuff. You want to hear among the most talented Judas Priest, do Victim of Changes. Brilliant song
Awesome reaction. You guys should do "Electric Eye" and have the lyrics handy. It may be from 1982 but it's just as relevant today.
They've done 18 studio albums so far. 5 in the 1970s and 6 in the 1980s. This was 1986.

This is definitely a Judas Priest song that you like after you already like Judas Priest.
You need to hear “Living After Midnight”, Hell Bent for Leather “, You’ve got another thing coming”, maybe “Electric Eye”
My good friend picked me up every day from high school blasting this...good times. Breaking The Law and You Gotta Another Thing Coming are rocking too....Seems weird to see Rob with hair, lol...
I was a Priest fan since day one. Seen them 6 times live in DFW, never disappointed. People pissed me off when they boycotted them after Rob came out. Like, who gives a damn, they rock.
Locked In is an extremely underrated song off of the Turbo Album. The vocals and arrangement are my favorite.
A Touch Of Evil has to be one of my favs from Judas Priest. I think you two would enjoy it and thanks for the videos :)
Especially live with Tim Ripper Owens
Love the way this song just builds up and up and up
I'll never forget attending a family reunion the day after seeing J. P. from the turbo lover tour. My grandma saw me in my concert shirt and everyone thought she was giving birth to a herd of unicorns the way she carried on. Apparently her church taught that anyone who attended a JP concert had sold their souls during the show
Right remember when the church people tried to say acdc meant against Christ devils children
Check out "Rock Hard, Ride Free". Or "Johnny B Goode".
If you want a more accurate reference point to Judas Priest, listen to anything from screaming for vengeance. That is more of their usual sound.
Yay, My fav screamer in rock, lol. AWESOME song. Love it! MY fav is "Screaming for Vengeance" Thanx so much for all the favs, take care, Peace
This is 1 of my favorite songs by JP. A GREAT SONG!!!
This was, sort of, their answer to the synth-layden new wave pop songs that were prevalent at the time.
"Touch of Evil" is my personal favorite Judas Priest song.
Next song from them "The Sentinel" from Priest Live 1987. Wait until you see the coolest dueling guitar solos from Tipton and Downing. It's fabulous.
Priest are LEGENDS!! ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME MEMBERS!! RESPECT!!!
This song came out when I was in my early 20’s… I had a pretty fast car and every time this song came on, I’d put the pedal to the floor. Loved it. My girlfriend was pretty fond of it too… 😉
Nice! Hey you two would probably love Mountain's "Mississippi Queen". More hard rockin' goodness!
This song is on a whole other level when performed live.
On a 6th grade field trip we blasted this album for a few hours on the school bus. This song was and is still fire.
Great Video as ALWAYS Guys!!!! Next on the JP list needs to be "Freewheel Burning"... *Little talked about song but quite a headbanger and another familiar tune to any Gran Turismo OST fans*

Judas priest was my first concert, 1983. Love em!
My favorite Priest album was live Unleashed in the East 😈🤘. Amazing Incredible Awesome...
A good Priest ballad is Last Rose of Summer. Rob's singing is beautiful and elegant on that song.
Hi Guys, this would be worth you both listening to its pumped up:
Johnny B Goode Cover by Judas Priest
Judas Priest did a cover of Chuck Berry's Johnny B Good yall need to listen to it
It's fun, yes. Many fans hate it but how would a Priest version sound, if not like this there's really no other way to do in the '80s.
I saw this tour in Philly mid80s. My first real concert, at the Spectrum. That's where Rocky fought Apollo Creed, by the way. I couldn't barely hear for 2 days.

Saw them in concert year ago. They were great.
Locked in should def be next j will love
Such a devastating let down when this came out, don’t mind it as much now but still hurts.
Turbo came out after You've Got Another Thing Comin', and before Painkiller. It was considered very experimental for the band, because a lot of the guitar you hear is actually synthesized. The drums also have a touch of a synth drum sound, almost drum machine like.
This Priest album was a misstep. I would suggest Saints in Hell from Stained Class (1978), and Dreamer Deceiver from Sad Wings of Destiny (1976).
Man y'all have been on fire today!
Love your reactions guys. This album came out in 1985. I listened to this album over and over when I was at Ft. McClellan Alabama the night before BRM. I was so amped at the range I qualified expert.

1986
Woops. Fat fingers. Lol. Yes 86, same year I was going through Basic and MP school.
This album was pretty divisive for a lot of die-hard Priest fans when it was released, but I always enjoyed a lot of the tunes on "Turbo". I agree with the thoughts below, the live versions are even heavier and really great. The "Priest Live!" CD/DVD they released from this tour is killer. Also highly recommend "Out in the Cold," "Private Property" and "Parental Guidance" off this one. Either way, you can never go wrong with those KK Downing and Glenn Tipton dual guitars!!
I'm Mexican,I was 15 in 1988. My WHITE ROCKER homie got me hi. Then put 2 woofers on either side of my head. Played THIS SONG! I was mesmerized! I loved rock from this point forward!
Great memories of flying down the freeway in a friend's car....ohyeah!
When I first heard this song 32 years ago I was blown away and I instantly get a mental image of two female dancers in shimmering lavender body suits dancing to this absolute killer of a song.
Cannonball Run!😅
I’ve been trying to tell you guys for at least a year or more to check out Riding on the Wind from these guys. I’m the Old School and know exactly what I’m talking about here. I’ve been listening to them since the 70’s and have seen them live in concert 21 times over the decades. I KNOW this stuff! It’s off their Screaming for Vengeance album in the early 80’s and was considered their peak, at least commercially. Studio Version Only Please! (It’s the record recording, the cleanest version to hear first) and go Loud! I personally guarantee this Badass, High Energy, Classic, Hard Rock Jam! Trust me and don’t just look at views and likes on this because most of the people posting those weren’t even alive when this came out and probably aren’t even aware of this adrenaline blast of a song! It’s not obscure to lifelong fans like me and it got regular radio airplay back then so it’s not just my opinion or one of my favorites, which it is for a damn good reason. I think you both will absolutely agree. It IS a KILLER song! Go For IT!
Much, much better than Turbo Lover. I saw both those tours and many others, like I said. My opinion is rock solid valid on this.
That entire album was 🔥🔥🔥!!! Peak Judas Priest--can't go wrong with any track on it.
I go way back with Priest. Have all the vinyl albums since the 70s. I was just listening to Sinner 🤘and this came up as a suggestion.
This album (1986's "Turbo") was disowned at the time by the die-hard Priest (and other metal) fans for its use of synths and more shiny production; I always loved it, though. And Rob Halford's soaring voice and the twin-lead-guitars still kick.
In '86, you couldn't play D&D without it. :)
I love this song myself. It’s smooth. It has a message. It sounds great.
I can't say how happy it makes me to see that Judas Priest on here. Ah.......memories of my youth!!!
You have to check out a banger Judas Priest hit "United" from the album British Steel
This was put out when they were shifting from originality to commercialization trying to fill stadiums.
I seen this concert and it was loud and just bad ass!
Let’s get back to some Kiss and do Deuce or Firehouse!
I saw them live in Phoenix AZ in 1986 Turbo tour. I was attending AAI automotive school just after graduation. Awesome concert. Also saw Aerosmith, Scorpions, Metallica, Ozzy in 1985 to 1986
The 'Turbo' album by Judas Priest was an attempt to appeal to a commercial audience... especially after the popularity of bands like Ratt, ZZ Top, Bon Jovi and the Scorpions. The original concept of the record was a double album - synthesizers and beats on one disc... guitars and metal on the other... the title - 'Twin Turbos'... the record label said 'no'.
So, it was commercial album first ('Turbo') in 1986 and then heavy metal album second ('Ram it down') in 1988... U can see the costume changes that Priest members were wearing and the big hair 😂But 'Turbo' was not the big hit that the band had hoped for - it sold gold (half million copies) in the US, and they recorded a live album 'Priest live' from that '86 tour, released in 1987. It was strange to hear Judas Priest singing songs like 'Out in the cold'... 'Locked in'... 'Private property'... which were more personal and electronic-sounding, rather than the shredding metal they were famous for.
Pure, unadulterated heavy, HEAVY METAL, Priest is at the very top, one of the very best Live shows I have ever attended in the 60 or 70 big name concerts i have witnessed!!!
When guitar synthesizers hit in the mid 1980s, several bands did an album using them, most notably Judas Priest with Turbo, and Iron Maiden with Somewhere in Time. You should definitely do a reaction video for Stranger in a Strang Land by the latter:)
Amber you should add this song to your running playlist !
Thank you so much, guys! I know it's gonna be a beat before you do more Priest, but please consider "Touch of Evil" and "Love Bites". ;)
It's been awhile since I listened to Judas Priest . OMG! I forgot what an amazing vocalist Rob Halford is.
His ability to effortlessly alternate between a throaty growl and ear piercing falsetto is why people used to call him the "Rock God".
If you really want to hear him wail, listen to "The Ripper".
Great reaction, as always. God bless and keep listening to the hits.
No one forgets what a great vocalist Halford is, he's the Metal God for a reason
