Judas Priest - Rock Hard Ride Free (Official Audio)

[@joeylyons4549]

And suddenly I’m 18 again !!!! Saw this tour spring of 1984 in Louisville Kentucky. Great White opened the show. High point was when Rob came out and revved that fuckin Harley before SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL. Sparks, pyro, and explosions. Best of times. We had NO idea how good we had it !!!!!

[@milansikela8383]

Such a great album. Every song kicks ass. I saw them live on this tour back in 1984. Epic. One for the ages.

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!

Why?

It's difficult to express, but when I was tired, I got power from this song.

[@voc1506]

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!

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.

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.

[@아홉시똥덩이떼몇달간]

[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??

[@아홉시똥덩이떼몇달간]

[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♡♡

[@아홉시똥덩이떼몇달간]

[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?"

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.
