So much air guitar has been played to this! This version is taken from the glorious 2004 Reunited Tour, which saw Halford return to the band after a few years apart. Metal hearts everywhere leapt a little when this tour was announced.
Tunes like this are part of the reason Judas Priest was nearly untouchable in metal in the early '80s. Boogie meets scrappy proto-thrash. Yum!
Bold, scientifically precise, technically exacting, and tough as nails, this is primo Priest.
More primo Priest from the Defenders of the Faith album, captured in full overblown glory for your weekend amusement.
Rob Halford looks like an escapee from the Hellraiser films in this clip, which roars with a nice punk rock edge full of fast, ugly guitar noise and a beyond ragged vocal.
We conclude with one of the greatest riffs in rock history. Slather that with a snotty, rebellious lyric, deliver it all with appropriate attitude and you've got a bonafide classic. Long may the Priest reign!
