[@enterthecronic]

What Judas Priest song should we do next?! I think she liked it... 😂

[@Ozzpot]

If you want to hear an amazing guitar solo, I strongly recommend the rarely reacted to "Ram It Down". Do what other reactors don't! "Jawbreaker" is awesome too.

[@capoditutticapos19]

between the hammer and the anvil

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

Beyond The Realms Of Death...this one's very "underreacted to", being the great song it is

[@nanns77]

Victim of Changes.

[@pickamaterina1313]

Eat Me Alive its on pmrc filthy 15, a must song

[@Thunder_1977]

Music magazines in 1990: Heavy Metal is dead! Judas Priest: Hold my beer.... 🤘

[@RossanoMacchioni-gm4mg]

JUDAS PRIEST IS NOT ONE OF HEAVY METAL BAND , IS HEAVY METAL..🤘🇮🇹

[@dangrissom7367]

Usually you have this powerful voice on your first two or three albums, not on their 12th. The metal god.

[@pestilence6957]

This song and Night Crawler are the definition of Heavy Metal imo

[@josephbainlardi2272]

As old as this song is its still kicks major ass. It still elicits a strong emotion. Have heard 1000s of times and still get goosebumps when rob hits that last painkiller

[@ioeee7563]

According to Steel Panther's guitarist Satchel, Steel Panther's singer Michael Starr got vocal lessons from Rob Halford in the back of Rob's tour bus. As Satchel stated: "One night, I walked past Rob's tour bus and heard Michael scream in there." 😁

[@henrikfolkesson2157]

Its like a machinegun hits you when that intro comes on.

[@mikeyrocks7777]

JUDAS FREAKING PRIEST 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@nikkihayes5411]

Try the Live Vengeance 82 version of Desert Plains.....that voice live🙀🤘👍

[@metalmenteloco]

Painkiller is a Biblia of heavy Metal

[@petertapola8097]

If I had to choose 1 song to represent what heavy metal is, it's this one. Absolutely flawless. 34 years on and it just keeps getting better with every listen \m/

[@Ozzpot]

This is the core of planet metal. Chromium-plated boiling metal from the birthplace of metal, England's West Midlands. Also, metal. 🤘

[@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212]

God bless Birmingham, England. The city that both birthed heavy metal and perfected it.

[@alekhidell]

The video itself is a masterpiece, dirt cheap to make but so well edited. Reminds me very much of The Prodigy “Firestarter”. The synchronised full body headbanging is epic.

[@nanns77]

All album is that. A truly masterpiece.

[@grimfinn8769]

Over 50 yrs of HEAVY METAL.. Pure Plizz

[@jimharris367]

The Mighty Priest 🤘🤘🤘

[@robertmartyr9432]

Thx for your reaction to this song I've been waiting for it! Look forward to what you choose next

[@runelund5600]

Lovebites have made the best cover of this song, worth listening to. 👍 to you and the channel. Greeting from Denmark ❤

[@alekhidell]

I concur. They killed it.

[@marks5451]

LOVEBITES nailed it.

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

6:37 then do "Beyond The Realms Of Death", by the same band

[@thunderspike1892]

Check out Rob Halford and Scott Travis in Fight. Great songs like Contortion, Nailed To The Gun and Into The Pit. They had Russ Parrish on guitar. He's also known as Satchel in Steel Panther.

[@weshoward450]

I saw them in concert last week and 72 year old Rob was AMAZING!

[@jima6545]

My first show ever was the Rust in Peace/Painkiller tour, Megadeth and Judas Priest. Unreal night hearing Holy Wars, Tornado of Souls and Painkiller

[@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212]

Yes, yes it is.

[@srt8rocketship241]

Starts hittin' you with a sledgehammer and finishes hitting you harder.Tipton and Faulkner are the dynamic duo. The whole band is always tight.

[@holdtightadele8017]

Tipton and Downing here my friend, Richie Faulkner didn’t join JP till 2011👍🏼👊🏼

[@holdtightadele8017]

Tipton and Downing you mean. Faulkner would have been a teen when this song was recorded😂

[@srt8rocketship241]

@@holdtightadele8017 Mixed up KK. Thanks. Been listening and enjoying them forever. 60 now , and still crankin' to pissing the neighborhood off levels.

[@rpgmr]

March 2024 Judas Priest release their 19th studio album - Invincible Shield. The song The serpent and the king! A must listen.

[@steveratcliffe2181]

Awesome reaction.. next The Sentinel live.

[@uhtredragnarsson8961]

Briliant song from Judas Priest..pure metal..perfekt album for ending 80s...did feel something in your body..something,,electric,,when guitar riffs go...must be...

[@billtroxell7583]

Screaming for Vengeance and You Got Another Thing Coming, Nightcrawler are all great

[@mmcpa]

Love this song. Lovebites does a killer cover of this song, or really more like a tribute.

[@waynehauser3611]

Judas FUCKIN Priest ! Pure metal ! Good next pic The sentinel live Dallas show ! Cheers from Australia 😈🤘

[@johnjablonski9292]

There is metal,,,,and then there is 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻JUDAS PRIEST🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kristianjohnson8787]

Judas Priest’s song Screaming for Vengeance is the ultimate metal song. It is everything metal wrapped into one.

[@jockebergman72]

Beyond the realms of death, studio version

[@davorcihak7330]

This is speed metal with a touch of death metal. The drummer plays beyond all the limits of speed metal. Beast! Best of all, the intro on the drums isn't in the same tempo as the rest of the song, and yet it's fucking good and it fits.

[@alexei9228]

God's of metal!

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

Now you should totally do a reaction to the spoof Nanowar of Steel did for this song, callde "Heavy Metal Kibbles" Love your reactions! Have fun!

[@karlbecker8775]

Honestly, this entire album is great!

[@13uomini]

You know the Lovebites, so hear please their cover of this song. It's only the audio version but incredible, for me best the original!

[@JStephens_73]

Saw them last weekend along with Sabaton who opened for them

[@laoaganlester1728]

Judas Priest's Painkiller is considered by many (even though some may disagree) as the first modern hardcore metal song.

[@tonyallen9035]

Absolutely one of Priests best! When you get the chance, take a listen to "Ram it down".

[@Aquaholic851]

Judas Priest is so much more than a metal band.......When they started they were very blue's based.......great music, very different, but very Priest. Then they blended into hard rock, inventing Heavy Metal, went to speed metal or thrash, with Painkiller, Freewheel Burning....stuff like that.....now just good hard heavy metal. They are getting old now, the two original guitarist are gone, but they still rock live.....not the same as before.....but still better than most.

[@Metzwerg74]

if someone asks: "What is Heavy Metal ?" Show them this... no more answer should be needed....

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

NOTHING can top thi since 1991...the epiphany of Heavy Metal is all about !

[@makarenaespinoza.a]

Yes 🤘🏼

[@petschmann]

You have any ideas of guitar solos? And drum solos? In Aggada davida!

[@rockntom72]

Ram It down, Heavy Metal and Jonny Be Good!

[@akselsjllnder8678]

This is the one!! I've listened to this song so many times during the last 34 years at least once a month. BUT!!! I recently came across a cover version played by Lovebites and I have to say -- The Priests have got a very capable competitor for exactly this song. Try it out on kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5C5hJmQnbqraLc. Unfortunately no one has found a live performance yet. It's taken from the album "In The Beginning - The Best Of 2017-2021" and was released in 2021. #lovebites #judapriest #painkiller

[@Mrlovebitten]

I second this suggestion

[@eminabrestovac]

My favorite is A touch of evil. Also one of my favorite songs in general. :)

[@johnhopping3894]

You have to check out the LOVEBITES cover of Painkiller

[@enterthecronic]

[@SmilingDesertCobra-ef1ly]

Do hell patrol next

[@holdtightadele8017]

Judas Priest don’t have the traditional guitar setup of a lead player and rhythm player. Both Tipton and Downing take turns to play leads.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Judas Priest's entire career has been songs about powerful, monolithic & destructive characters and forces... 'Painkiller' came out in 1990 and was an exclamation point in Priest's career when critics were calling them 'old news' and didn't think they were capable of this level of speed, intensity and anger... It was also released in the aftermath of a trial in Nevada where the band was sued in court of allegedly inspiring a grisly double s.ui.cide pact by inserting a 'subliminal' message into a 1978 cover song 'Better by you, better than me'... After an arduous trial, Judas Priest was acquitted of any wrongdoing - the alleged 'subliminal' message was pure coincidence.

[@mikepaulus4766]

Yeah, if someone doesn't know what metal is, you play them this, and they understand.

[@jerryward3311]

If you look up heavy metal in the dictionary it will point you to this song and video. 🤘

[@JonMallek]

Now listen to Dreamer Deceiver / Deceiver from Sad Wings of Destiny.

[@JonMallek]

Priest = Metal

[@briansullivan1690]

For a different note and a recent one, try out Trial by Fire.

[@TheGalinaAZ]

100%yes!!!

[@karpatigeorges343]

genial 👍👍

[@hieioni3354]

Now react to Death's cover of this song!

[@JonMallek]

Start from the beginning, 1974.

[@Aymungoos]

Hot take: All guns blazings solo is better (especially when comparing live versions)

[@wwltd3036]

When the meth hits the central nervous system😳

[@user-tb3qh2ef8j]

It's a 45year old journey. Enjoy

[@RMiles-jd2ze]

You are definitely NOT J.P. fans! If you knew anything about J.P. you would know there are far more complex & meaningful songs than this. If you knew anything about Judas Priest, you would know that the quintessential Priest album is "Sad wings of Destiny". Stop tormenting the True Priest fans and move on to something else.

[@enterthecronic]

I love the song "Victim of Changes" myself. This is Alannas first time hearing the song and Judas Priest and we did a poll for it. And the title is a question...not a statement. Lol Oh boy you sound like a spoiled little boy that didn't get his bumb spanked enough for being dumb. If you are a true J.P. fan...I am sorry that your their "spokesperson". Your doing a horrible job. Good luck with being a tool 🔧

[@enterthecronic]

And you sir are DEFINITELY ENTITLED! That's out the question lol 😆

[@MadamNomad]

😂 this is my first time hearing this song 😂

[@RMiles-jd2ze]

@@MadamNomad O.K. Kids, I apologize for seeming arrogant, however, the mistake you made was asking the great unwashed masses to pick a song for you. None of which have any knowledge of Judas Priest. I am a life-long J.P. fan. The people who know nothing about J.P. always default to Painkiller. The first J.P. Album was 1974. They have a massive catalog of songs to choose from. If you want to know what the great J.P. songs are, you have to go to the dedicated life-long J. P. fans. Have a wonderful day. -R. Miles. Florida, U.S.A.

[@enterthecronic]

​@RMiles-jd2ze the sad thing is...you just sound like every other old timer that is upset with the world since they screwed it up themselves. You act like a spoiled child. lol Our names are Kyle and Alanna as we mentioned at the beginning of the video. I love how old people call everyone kids, and then don't think thats an insult when you clearly could find out our names lol. We have 2 kids at home ourselves with a 3rd on the way in September. And no thank you..."Elitist" like you stay the f*** away...nice try though little man...have fun ruining other people's journey with Judas Priest...you won't with ours...your pathetic

[@magicsinglez]

It was kinda a statement when this video came out. . .but the song isn’t that good. ‘Great vocals’? lol, can someone on this Earth tell the truth?

[@JonMallek]

🤡 alert!!!

[@magicsinglez]

@@JonMallek: please admit it. The song isn’t that good - it’s just fast extreme and heavy. .it was fun when it came out and mtv played it. It was fun. Maybe a lot of fun. It was a statement, but it’s not a very good song and the vocals verge in being horrible. It’s true Rob isn’t shy here!

[@wezzmusic]

One of the best Judas Priest songs before K.K.Downing left the band. The musicianship is amazing considering that Judas Priest formed in the late 1960s.

[@Toddzilla1967]

Yes, yes it is.
