[@thebreeze12]

A completely forgotten song from British Steel!!! An up tempo classic that shows why Priest are widely considered one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Sabbath may have started it, Maiden may be more popular and Metallica have sold the most albums, but I don't think any band deserves more credit than Priest for creating that bone crunching style of guitar and Halford's signature vocals I believe set the standard to which every other metal band is judged. They took what Sabbath did and brought that twin guitar attack with a more precise and sharp sound that shaped the way for everybody else that followed!!

[@SebastiaanSweers]

thebreeze12 yes indeed

[@hinjurock]

It's obviously that this song and Rapid Fire were huge influences on Metallica and the entire speed and thrash metal movement.

[@EC66OK]

thebreeze12 Sabbath made it Heavy, but the Priest made it Metal!

[@david.rainford65]

thebreeze12 Well said.

[@dougcarson5202]

Absolutely agree. Steeler is monumental metal. Also rather unique in that there is no chorus on this one, which adds a particularly epic menace to the build of the roaring finale.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

This is the best version of Steeler ever. You can tell by this video that the band really enjoyed playing this song. This video is another reason why KK Downing needs to be back in the band. He is that important to the history of Judas Priest. This is one of the last times that the classic four members of Judas Priest performed together and it was still amazing.

My favorite

[@bwilly8468]

I saw Priest for the 1st time Nov. 1, 1979 at the Triangle Theatre in Rochester, NY. I was with 2 of my buddies and we each took 2 hits of acid before the show. The venue allowed the audience to get right up to the stage so we wrestled our way up and stood right in front of K.K. Downing the whole show. During some of his solo's, K.K. came over to us and would kneel down and let us touch his guitar and whammy bar while he was playing the solo. Totally blew our minds! After the show as we were walking out my one buddy ran his hands through his hair(it was 1979 we all had long hair back then) and low and behold he found one of K.K.'s picks. Needless to say, it was a special night in our young lives. I've been hooked on the band ever since.

Thankyou I was 10 when my father left his family of 4 boys all younger than me. He left his wife also. He asked me to raise them to be good men. Looking for guidance from an adult male was all I needed and terribly wanted. So I went to the Judas priest concert at she 13 . 3rd row half way through the second and half through the song he was singing. Rob Halford looked down at me never removing his eyes from mine he asked me"" What do you want""? Never removing his eyes he asked again the same question. Now KK Downing stood next to him and both asked me again their eyes solid never from my eyes ""What do you want"" So I held up my leather jacket boldly in the air. Be named up held the l microphone to his mouth and pointed at me and said loudly "" I. know what you want.. The lyrics from each song was exactly what I needed to guide me down my pAtu. This was and still forever be the greatest concert ever.
