One of my first Metal Albums, and here I am, 48 years old, and still rocking hard and riding free. Immortal song, how could you even think to dislike it?
I TURNED 50 YEARS OLD, MY SECOND JUDAS ALBUM( my first was screaming for vengeance). BUT Defenders of the Faith is MY FAVOURITE JUDAS LP. My favourite Judas Priest albums: 1. Defenders of the Faith 2. Stained Class 3. Sad Wings of Destiny 4.Screaming for Vengeance 🤘💎🤘 Fábio Olmos from Brazil.
This album is one of my favorites of Judas Priest, and not only because it was their first album that I heard back when I started listening to Metal in 85! So many good songs in it! I like the production as well. Not so much the drums. Just imagine if Scott Travis played on it... Holland made a good work, but Travis is on another level! Greetings from Italy!
Lyrics: Get a grip on the action Movin' heaven and earth You gotta get a reaction Push for all that you're worth No denying, we're going against the grain So defiant, but they'll never put us down Rock hard, ride free All day, all night Rock hard, ride free All your life Tough as steel, stop at nothing Look at fate in the face Don't take no for an answer, yeah Grab the lead in the race No denying, we're going against the grain So defiant, but they'll never put us down Spit it out Rock hard, ride free All day, all night Rock hard, ride free All your life Rock hard with a purpose Got a mind that won't bend Die hard resolution That is true to the end No denying, we're going against the grain Because it's so defiant Everybody scream it again Rock hard, ride free All day, all night Rock hard, ride free All your life Rock hard, ride free All day, all night Rock hard, ride free All your life Rock hard, ride free All day, all night Rock hard, ride free All your life
Was in high school when this album came out, living outside Toronto which was a metal haven at the time. Friends and I would play this album constantly. Still love going back to it.
Saw this tour at Madison Square Garden. 4th of July weekend. Words can't explain the mayhem. Best concert I've ever seen yet. It was completely insane. 200k in damages. Great times.
It's good to realized I was not alone and actually I'm not alone by liking this song . Es bueno saber que no estaba solo y actualmente no estoy solo por gustarme esta canción . Judas Priest forever .
same for me, the prelude is like the low point of your life, depressing. Throughout the song you can feel the ups and downs via the guitar solos which is amazing, and it just cheers you up to rock hard and do what you want, be a free soul!
Grande!!!Judas Priest!!!El primer álbum que escuché y me cautivó!!!Mi inicio con la banda!!Desde entonces fiel seguidor, de una de las bandas que en mí opinión marcó una época,siguen en su línea a pesar de los cambios musicales actuales!!!😊
Escucho esto 10 veces por día. los solos y partes de guitarras son de los mejores de la historia del metal/rock .ya no se existe música así . Es poco conocida y poco valorada , debería tener al menos 100 millones de vistas .
I've been listening to this one for around 18 years now, and it amazes me how underrated it is. This should be one of the top hits of Judas Priest, alongside Ram It Down and Breaking The Law.
@@s1nnocense Yes, but every song on earth is called "underrated" by somebody on TH-cam if it's been ten minutes or more since they heard someone mention it.
I am on a Judas Priest kick revisiting all of my old favorite Priest songs. I've come to the conclusion that this is my favorite song out of all of them. It's so symmetrical with the versus, bridge, and chorus it's #1.
La mejor banda de metal del mundo!!! Este es un discazo!!! Un tema mejor que el otro!!!!Majestuosas las violas y los agudos de Halford de otro planeta!!!!
Con 6 añitos ya escuchaba yo el the defender para mí el mejor lp de judas, todavía se me ponen los pelos de punta escuchandolo, es una obra maestra este disco, heavy metal en su puro estado. Para mi el mejor grupo y disco de heavy metal de la historia
[LOVERS COMMENT only for humans] Does anybody care about your shameless begging for human play? Even koreans even don't want to have a contact with you beggar from choongcheong province.
Everyone here knows your human shaped concussion mechanism hardware less than a bug only has a habit of having concussion of 'report deletion' and disgusting calculated "human agony" action.
[Reaction to your shameless 'unreporting begging'♡] Is there any words except "I stuck back your undeserving begging into your mouth" which cause you things' shameless concussion of 'report deletion' in just a few second??
[Social Mockery] "Big Data", the most ambitious and romantic word for you beggar things disdained even in korean province, reveals if I use the word "korean "things"", your undeserving begging of "altruistic patriotism play" activates with some "delicate desperation" act♡♡
[Social Cleaning required Right After the comment above] so after my comment, did your begging 'algorithm' less than a bug order you to switch your acting from "avoidance as if just" to "parasite asking for sympathy pretending human agony?"
This, to me, is Judas Priest in essence. Everything great about them on show in one track. All my life... And I have been a fan since 1975. Rock hard, ride free - all my life.
Wiecie co, aż boję się opisać. To mój album nr#1 metal wszechczasów. Mnie kojarzy nie z zimą. Pamiętam, to było chyba w 1985, stojąc z kaseciakiem na maleńkim oczku wodnym, zamarzniętym, zaczęło pękać i wpadłem po kolana do wody . Był mróz, ale muza grała, bo magnetofon był w górze. Piękne czasy, wtedy każda płyta miała klimat, smak, barwę. Kocham Judasa, a tą płytę kocham najbardziej. No, jeszcze Unleashed....echh, czasy piękne. Dzisiaj mam 53 lata, i właśnie leci Defenders .... . Mam takiego znajomego na giełdzie, sprzedaję cd. Powiedział mi, wiesz wielu kolesi przestało przychodzić, muza już ich nie obchodzi, a ty przychodzisz, jako jeden a niewielu. Dlaczego? Bo kocham muzykę, a metal to moja kochanka.
Я никогда не слушал ни рок, ни металл, но однажды услышал эту тему в машине у напарника по работе ,металлиста, я сразу обратил внимание на только эту тему, и снова скачал спустя 2 года, надоедает одна песня быстро, в сборник добавлю снова) шедевр
I saw this tour in July at the Cow Palace(Daly City), 1984 was an awesome year!!!! Also saw Rush, Grace under Pressure Tour, in May. Also at theCow Palace. Also in May of 1984 was Scorpions Love at First Sting, at the Cow Palace.Then there was Iron Maiden, for the Power Slave Tour(World Slavery Tour )in March of '85. Also, at the Cow Palace. Those were the greatest days of my youth!!!! I yearn to go back in time and see these GIFTED MUSICIANS again. Who wants to go with me?
@@mitch5699 Judas Priest outlasted Grunge by a long way. Yeah Nevermind was excellent, but Priest never went away. Grunge tried to kill Metal. And failed miserably.
@@lonestar6709 oh yeah , what I meant is, when "Nevermind " hit the scene major rock acts like "Motley Crue " for example felt the impact of grunge 'ticket sales' in the US anyway, one day playing 20,000 seat arena , the next playin in a bar , if you weren't Iron Maiden , Judas Priest , or the Scorpions for example, it was back to the bar , I saw it happen, was part of it ...
@Armando Olvera that sucking yer talkin about , thats yer knowledge of how and where metal was first created and who it was first created by , sucks ! ..that'd be you bud...now go on , there's plenty of content on yt more yer speed ....boy George has a channel
Best song on the album. It was always perplexing to me as to why they didn't market this song more. Get it on radio. All I heard on the radio back then was Some Heads & Freewheel
The sparkomatic speaker commercial had them in it doing this song too! I remember when that showed up on tv and flipping out like no way!! Then trying to catch it when it came on again to tape it on VHS so I could have a copy of it when I was 14/15. Great album and solid track!
Glenn is so underrated, but let's give KK some love too. He's awesome and has to play second fiddle to the other lead guitar. They held it together for decades. Tell me of 2 other leads who could put ego aside and share.
Rock with a purpose Got a mind that won't bend Diehard resolution That is true to the end Rock Hard Ride Free All day, all night Rock Hard Ride Free All your life....🤘🤘🤘🤘💯‼
I went in 84' for this tour & Halford was at his best. JP today should be called '"Halford & Friends" I'm following KK with his band. I love KK & HAVE since 83"

Such a great album. Every song kicks ass. I saw them live on this tour back in 1984. Epic. One for the ages.
I saw them live in 1990 in Italy
Poor Glenn having to deal with Parkinson’s. My heart goes to this brilliant axe slinger.
We're praying for you, Glen!

The Flag Of Heavy Metal! The Best Metal Song Of All Time, from the Best Album Of All Time! Perfection!
This is one of their absolute best ones!
Classic album, the chorus and solo still gives me chills to this day... 36years later!!
This is one of few songs or any piece of art that can give me chills every time. Such a great song.
Glen Tipton is truly a maestro on the Axe, so so many GREAT riffs!
They both are ! KK AND GLEN!
KK actually does most of the lead and the solo on this song
It's half and half, KK does the beginning and Glen the 2nd half. @@lordtalo2062
Don't forget about KK
@@robnordal1906 KK was the raw and soul of judas---
What a guitar solo and what a song!!
That's 80s...
Absolutely!!!
Best song on one of the very best Judas Priest albums.
Life is just better when there is music like this
You said some real shit right there , the 80s stomped ass didn't they...
Yeaahhhhhhh Friend!!!!!
PRIEST set the bar for All metal bands!! Best live shows ever done!
Defenders of the faith IMO is the best Priest album . Every song is awesome
Lyrics:

Tough as steel, stop at nothing
Look at fate in the face
Don't take no for an answer, yeah

So defiant, but they'll never put us down
Spit it out
Rock hard, ride free

Got a mind that won't bend
Die hard resolution

Top 3 Best Judas Priest albums ever in my opinion! Countless memories listening to this one!!
That classic Priest sound never gets old 👍👍👍
Was in high school when this album came out, living outside Toronto which was a metal haven at the time. Friends and I would play this album constantly. Still love going back to it.
This is one of THE greatest pump-up anthemic hard rock songs of all time. It simply stomps most other songs into the ground! DIG ITTTTT!!!!!!!!
Saw this tour at Madison Square Garden. 4th of July weekend. Words can't explain the mayhem. Best concert I've ever seen yet. It was completely insane. 200k in damages. Great times.
It's good to realized I was not alone and actually I'm not alone by liking this song . Es bueno saber que no estaba solo y actualmente no estoy solo por gustarme esta canción . Judas Priest forever .
Who doesn't like it?
This is an awesome song, you are certainly not alone
@@thediesel387 Good question my friend, congratulations!!🌸🌸🌸👍👍👍👊👊👊
It's one of the most important songs in my life.
Why?
It's difficult to express, but when I was tired, I got power from this song.
same for me, the prelude is like the low point of your life, depressing. Throughout the song you can feel the ups and downs via the guitar solos which is amazing, and it just cheers you up to rock hard and do what you want, be a free soul!
Well put !
Please play it at my funeral
Rock Hard Ride Free has got to be one of the best lines ever!
They got rid of fight for your life, fight for your money. It was a great upgrade.

Tears in my eyes. Such a powerful song.
I've been listening to this one for around 18 years now, and it amazes me how underrated it is. This should be one of the top hits of Judas Priest, alongside Ram It Down and Breaking The Law.
It kinda is tho. Absolute staple on every club night here.
@@s1nnocense Yes, but every song on earth is called "underrated" by somebody on TH-cam if it's been ten minutes or more since they heard someone mention it.
An absolute masterpiece
Любимый альбом, шедевр за шедевром, никогда не надоест его слушать!
These vocals and all the rest are excellent !! The arrangement of this song is incredible !! Salute to the Metal Gods !!
This whole album. Every song in this album is a HIT not one misses GotDamn.. 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Hearing this live was a high I'm gonna be chasing for the rest of my life.
THIS WILL BE ON MY TOMESTONE!!!
This is just one of many great albums by Priest ...

The title describes the ideal lifestyle of any rocker. We continue with Rockin' in the Free World and the circle is complete. Let's rock !
This song contains I love about metal. A perfect entry song for anybody that hasn't tried metal yet.🤘
That intro solo man wow.... very few solo hit me like that
Judas Priest a legendary group with songs like this will live forever and ever

my favourite Judas song
Great melodic solo from KK Downing
KK n Glen best twin guitar
I met Downey once.
Rock hard with a purpose. I've loved that line ever since I heard this when I got introduced to metal in highschool back in the 80s.
A Heavy Metal anthem!!🤘🤘
Piece of art directly from the metal gods for us, simple humans!
Happy Birthday Ian Hill,bass player of Judas Priest,born January 20th 1951,West Bromwich,UK,fonder of the great Judas Priest
kk downing is the founder of judas priest. It was him, then ian, then tipton then halford.

Best Heavy Metal Anthem
One of their best Songs ever.
Still listening to this since 84, Rob Halford is my rock hero
#1 all-time album side...fight me.
Best song on the album. It was always perplexing to me as to why they didn't market this song more. Get it on radio. All I heard on the radio back then was Some Heads & Freewheel
for real. this was clearly a hit song
Stupid management probably.
Their career seems littered with odd desicions. According to Downing, SFV has sold 2.5 million copies.
That's a joke....
The Greatest Heavy Metal Hymn Ever!
Toujours des riffs exceptionnels, jamais le même solo. Le PRIEST écrasé TOUT
Simplemente los DIOSES DEL METAL!! No hay palabras para decir lo grande que es JUDAS PRIEST
Así es hermano
Grew up listening to Judas Priest, and this song rocks as great as it did then!
Pure rock, pure heavy!!!
In my opinion the best album JP❤
THE best rhythm guitar breakdown ever. ❤️🔥😤
best solo in this album for me
Great song by the metal technicians. Let’s not forget legends too!

March 31 1984 I saw them on this tour and yes it was amazing af.
The best music from Defenders of the Faith in my opinion 🤘
If every country were to come together to vote for a heavy metal ANTHEM, this song would be the lone delegate...and, the winner!
This song is a killer, and I fucking love the shit out of it! Horns up 🤘!
Now that's a song I wouldn't mind being stuck in my head when I'm going for a long run on my HARLEY !!!! LOL 😆
