That intro with Hellion going into Electric Eye is legendary. The camera men trying to find the singer at the US festival is hilarious. Rob is off stage and walks on "I'M MADE OF METAL!" The crowd explodes! GODS!

[@darkness2520]

Were you at the US festival?

[@rabarebra]

@@darkness2520 he's talking about the video clip. It is on YT.

[@czt1dave]

@@rabarebra yes, that was at the aforementioned US Festival.

[@mikeriville2359]

I was there too! And for the record, it was the US Festival, not the U.S. Festival. It was the second US Festival, as the first one was in 1982. JP played on day 2 of the 3 day Festival. Day 2 was dubbed “Heavy Metal Sunday” 🤘🤘 METAL PILGRIM ROCKS

[@RapidCycling07]

Idolatry is a grave sin that must be avoided because you are placing your soul on the wide path to eternal damnation in Hell if you don’t repent/receive forgiveness for your sins prior to death. Judas Priest has awesome music, just don’t make the band into idols. Peace!

[@mariohnyc]

SFV was my intro to Priest. And here i am, 4 decades later, still a fan.

[@billspruce8368]

Great video... I am 54-years old... this record and Iron Maiden was my youth !! My "Metal Pilgrim" shirt arrived safely in the US lats week; thank you!

[@MetalPilgrim]

So glad it came! Thank you so much, Bill!

[@iceblade019]

Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith have my favorite metal tone of all time with the sharp guitar tone and the more old fashioned overall sound

[@johnrichjr.415]

I've always said that Point Of Entry has that classic British hard rock sound , it was a great album , then they took it to the next level. It was a great time to be in high school , all these legendary bands turning out iconic albums and tickets were $ 15 bucks. I wish I could do it all over again. 👍

The album that made me a metal fan. I was 13 and a friend of mine in school was so excited to tell me that Halford was back in priest. I didn't know who they were at the time, but I was happy he was happy. Later that week I was perusing through virgin megastores and I saw this album on sale. The cover looked so cool I had to buy it. The Hellion sounded so epic I was sold so quickly

[@OpenRoader]

I was at the US Festival at 13 years old. It was life altering and literally changed the trajectory of my life, helping me build personal confidence and later starting my own band, becoming a singer, recording hundreds of songs and performing well over a thousand shows. 1980-81-82-83 produced some of the greatest Heavy Metal albums of all time and set Metal on the path we all know and love today. Thank You Rob Halford!

[@MetalPilgrim]

That's so awesome!

[@hannaelfar4271]

We were there, unbelievable this music will live forever

[@kenwheeler3637]

Screaming for Vengeance was the current album when I discovered Priest and I've loved them ever since. 🤘

[@brandonpickrell6232]

My parents were at the Live Vengeance show in Memphis in '82. My dad saw them for the first time in 1977.

[@WHACK_space_rock]

That album changed everything...

[@texastank9413]

SFV is epic. If any metal head does not have this in their collection stop this video and go out and buy it or order it. This is a staple in the genre of metal. One of if not my favorite of all time. I was 12 years old when this album came out and I was obsessed with it. Fucking awesome record front to back. Still sounds fresh today. Rock on!

[@andrewlineberger7544]

I saw em in Charlotte 1988 and it was the best sounding loud and clear concert ever...And they played over 2 hours (Cinderella opened and we became fans of them as well)

[@UncleRiotous]

I remember being a teenager in about '86 and seeing Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders of The Faith on LP at the public library. The covers were mind blowing. My mum let me and my brother check them out (there was a small charge for records) and we loved them. Best thing we'd heard since Maiden, played them both to death.

[@markw.loughton6786]

Fantastic video, love it ❤️

Best of The Best. Rob is God of Heavy Metal

[@greggrisham6025]

I went to SCREAMING and DEFENDERS of the faith in the OMNI ATLANTA GA. Amazingly GREAT MEMORIES.

[@aeromedical6776]

Saw them in Nashville, TN on the SFV tour and again on the Turbo Tour. They put on an absolute killer show both times.

[@amberturd6558]

They were one of my first favorite bands, and live acts. They are top 3 Metal bands during their time imo

[@magnuswettermark8293]

Was 17 years old when this classic come out. Its still one of my favorite albums ever.

[@thatisme3thatisme38]

what was unique about SFV - the sound was perfection, rob's voice is some sci fi non-human. not one weak track. first time i heard it i though this sounded so different from anything else i had heard before. lucky that is the first Judas Priest album I heard. after that i was hooked. their best album by far. they never recaptured those heights and it is arguably impossible to.

[@picassoboy52]

in 1979 I was 14, my buddies and me had tickets to see van halen in our local community college gym in WA State. It got canceled and the promoter told us they had a couple other bands and to show up anyway. Turned out to be Judas Priest on the Hell Bent For Leather tour, opening for UFO. Hardest rocking concert ive ever been to. After that night we didnt give a rat about VH. I was in the front row leaning on the stage. I had a ring on, I tossed it up at KK and he wore it the rest of the show. It was a night we never forgot. It took 3 days for my hearing to return to normal. I'll never forget KK all dressed in black sporting that red flying V. A great night was had by all.....saw them 2 years later in Oakland, CA, they were much more famous and it was good, but not nearly as memorable as that night in 79....

[@JulioSerrano2015]

Great vid and such a honor to have Sir Halford here... congrats, Bro, you must feel really proud! 😎

[@MetalPilgrim]

Thank you, Julio! And yeah... it was an honour, once again!

[@stevejohnston8543]

Quintessential heavy metal band. The looks, sound = METAL!

[@Z-bone64]

I was 18 when Screaming for Vengeance was released. It changed music completely! It was the first metal to receive regular FM radio airplay, and kicked open the door for Iron Maiden and the rest.

[@wafflemanofficial3130]

Two days ago I was at their concert, they said they had one song left and that was Painkiller. After they ended it got dark and suddenly the Hellion started, it was epic

[@barano9729]

Hell ya

[@stevenharris716]

Awesome video! Been a J.P. fan from the beginning. They are groundbreakers and every album changed & progressed. They were on the map long before the vengeance album but that pushed them into the mainstream. I'm glad to have grown up with their music! Many more years I hope!

[@villagedesigninstitute4135]

I was in the Navy back then and hearing these riffs just now transported me back to those wild days......

[@michaelgalanos981]

One of my favourite albums this album got me hooked on priest. I saw them last live in Toronto November 2015 it was a memorable show I had a choice Priest or Maiden the Tickets were too expensive for Maiden they do not care if all their fans can afford the show any more Priest on the other hand was a half price show. But I can say Priest is Just as good live as Maiden I have seen them both several times and trust me Priest Gives you more than you paid for Live Maiden is just too big now for their fans and shoes

[@missesmew]

Everyone had this one! Judas Priest was at one time one of the best bands in the world. That twin guitar attack from Tipton and Downing was stellar and under appreciated. ✊🏽👊🏾🤘🏾

[@pbrduddy9852]

Point of entry is actually one of my favorite albums ever made

[@davidmel2158]

I was blessed to be in attendance at the first show of the Screaming For Vengeance tour. My bass player & I traveled to Bethlehem, PA to the Lehigh University Sports complex sat 4th row & experienced one of the most powerful live shows in my life. It was a small venue, a large gymnasium, sort of seemed to “fine tune” the show. I think that freedom to explore the stage and the crowd and reaction to the new album gave us an experience without limits. Even though I was in the forth row I got hit with Rob’s sweat multiple times. The guy was out of his mind, literally & vocally. And the band was incredible even though KK tripped, at one point, over a cord & fell on his ass. Later that tour saw them again here in CT, once again, legendary!!

[@ChuckJansenII]

Great insight with Rob. "You've Got Another Thing Coming" is all attitude and that attitude was a don't mess with me/us attitude and in a positive way, really. It was perfect for the time. Good thing Priest didn't go with the original title, "You've Got Another Pizza Coming" with the subject matter of pizzerias. In case someone wants to know, the pizza title is parody. "Screaming for Vengeance" is my favorite Priest Albums. The original title of "Screaming for Vengeance" was "Screaming for Pizza." Tried it at a pizzeria. Didn't work. Got kicked out. "Screaming for Vengeance" turned out to be a much better title for album and song.

My first concert was Iron Maiden / Judas Priest July 1st 1981 @ The Capital Centre Washington DC . They came back that following year . Looking back it was like yesterday . In all honesty . Seemingly few knew who the opening act was . We were there for Priest . but one song in , The stadium erupted and we all were introduced to Maiden ..

[@Jcruzer70]

As much as I love Defenders, Stained Class and Painkiller, SFV is always the first one when I think of their best album. 🤘🤘

[@metalswifty23]

Definitely my favourite 80's album, but I'd personally go for Sad Wings overall. This album and Painkiller run it very, very close, though. So many great Priest albums.

[@thatisme3thatisme38]

Remember that Judas Priest could have had the lead song for Top Gun. Reckless. But the management didn’t want give up the rights to the song and the management didn’t think the movie would be successful

[@stratman1021]

British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance and also Iron Maiden Number of the Beast and Dio the debut solo lp are probably the greatest metal albums ever.

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

When SFV came out.... Ohholyshit. That flipped my switch. At those first notes of Electric Eye - lightning bolt - instant metalhead. To my parents' horror. SFV, Defenders of the Faith and Point of Entry are on my Mt Rushmore of classic metal.

Like Boston's debut album, 'Screaming For Vengeance' is an album where every track is a hit in itself. An absolute gold mine of music! The songwriting, the guitars, the production - all came together to make this album a juggernaut of Metal to stand the ages.

[@psychoholiday-ju1cp]

Being born in 1973, the first two albums from Boston were an absolute life changer. Then I run into this in 1983. (my vinyl copy is still in my box of LPs at my parent's house)

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

I dunno what spurred-on this cross-genre mashup for me, but one day many years ago, out of the blue, I just started singing the lyrics to "?..Another Thing Coming" as though reinterpreted by Frank Sinatra, and the eureka bulb went off 'cuz I realized if you took those lyrics out of the context of a metal delivery and redid the music to a mid-century (the 20th, that is) jazz style, with Sinatra delivering the lyrics, the audience would totally buy it!!

I was 20 in 1980 when they first arrived in the U.S. They opened for the Kiss Dynasty tour. They were a game changer for me. I used to be able to hit Rob's high pitched scream but not as well now as I used to then.. I mainly play Bass and know a lot of their tunes. Yeah --- I'm old but I still ROCK.

Tipton has since became one of my favorite rock gods, and to this day.......very difficult to play many of his leads. He didnt have "traditional" patterns and wasnt typical at all in his leads.

Rob Halford describing the song “Another Thing Coming” is so similar to how Sully Erna from Godsmack describing “Crying Like A Bitch” they both thought the songs wouldn’t work and needed more work but they worked out just fine. Definition of overthinking but that’s what artists do

Another "unreleased" song would be The Hellion, IIRC according to Metal Works, this was originally a full song which was then edited down to be just the intro to Electric Eye. All this unreleased stuff is super annoying, these guys really need a competent curator of the vaults to put out a proper box set that doens't just regurgitate the already released stuff, AKA the albums. Which any hardcore fan (who would invest in a boxset) already has anyway. The SfV leftovers, Turbo sessions, SAW stuff...
