This may actually be THE definitive heavy metal song of all time.
If you are looking into Judas Priest I recommend The Sentinel, I´m a Rocker, Some heads are gonna roll, A touch of evil, Heading out the highway, and Reckless ....
Without a shadow of a dought
Speed metal
That song popping up on MTV in the 90s was a watershed moment for metal.
This is epic power thrash...whole album is perfect..but nothing really beats this one..painkiller is the best.
The guitar duo of K.K. Downing & Glenn Tipton is one of the greatest in metal history. They wrote some legendary riffs and have influenced countless famous metal guitarists including Kerry King (Slayer) and Dave Mustaine (Megadeth). Great reaction.
🤘
does that have anything to do with k k slider?
Adrian Smith and Dave Murray
@@shallowlord I was just gonna say that
heh, I still have a Tipton Rd sign.
I uh....found it in the river back in 1984.
Its on the wall today.
What's really wild is that the lead singer Rob Halford is 71, still touring and still sounds like that.
Well, no... not quite like THAT... but like you said, he's 71, so of course he's not gonna nail every note like he did then... the fact he is still going at all is an achievement.
@@BlackieNuff idk my guy, it's pretty damn close ua-cam.com/users/shorts-VCAloAKzCs?feature=shares

Well, that clip is okay, but still sounds a little strained. Plus, that clip is credited as being from a 2021 show, and the clip I saw that drew me to my conclusion was more recent, like some time in 2022. Also, I'm a self-trained sound editor/engineer (35 yrs experience), so my ears are honed to cut through the layers of sound and noise and filter out certain things (looking for pops & clicks and other glitches to remove them and clean up the recording, among other purposes), things that most people would never hear normally, so maybe I'm just hearing something you're not?
Again, no shade on the Metal God, but I'm just not one of those fanboys who praises in a "can do no wrong" kind of way - if one of our metal heroes from the 80s/90s is getting on in their years and not sounding "as good", I'll say so, but still fully acknowledge it's simply due to the fact they're only human like the rest of us and nothing lasts forever - I'll give props that they're still out there giving it their all in spite of their aging instrument (voice), but I won't blow sunshine up anyone's ass.
At any rate, cheers! :-)
I just saw them a few months ago and Rob definitely still has it. Yeah he isn't in his 20s anymore, but they still rocked the place. Great show.
I love Rob Halford, but he doesn't sound like that anymore. His voice have aged and the approach to his singing in live shows is different. Ronnie was the one who's voice endured the most but I could hear the difference in sustaining it compared to the year it was release and years after.
Painkiller is one of the defining song in metal, at least for me.
too me
Not just you
The whole Painkiller album is killer.
Nah. It's an unconsistent album with 50% killers and 50% fillers. Especially the second half is mèh.
Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith were the JP peak albums.
Easily their heaviest album
the whole judas priest catalog is killer ;)
I CAN imagine buying this CD in 1990 and pressing play...Holy smokes...this was next level for JP
I did exactly that, dude. And I saw them live in 1991.
It can't get any better.
I clearly remember dropping the needle on the LP for the first time......Blown away to say the least !!!!🤘
That’s what I did! Mind blown!
32 years ago! Think about that. Proving once again, the music I grew up with is much better than today.
Back in the day even Priest fans didn't know what was coming after the drum intro, and it was facemelting!
Judas Priest - The Sentinel is another insanely good song by them, great reaction aswell!
LIVE version is even better!!
Also Electric Eye
Defenders of the Faith is my second favorite Priest album..next to Painkiller
My fave song
That first solo was Tipton,second was Ken(KK) Downing...Tipton is the greatest metal guitarist ever! Such a perfect tone and very complicated but beautiful...listen to "all guns blazing",every guitar style rolled into one!
Most metal thing ever... after Richie Faulkner joined the band, he was playing this song live a few years ago.. he had an aortic ambulism (heart burst and bleeding into the body) while playing this song... he never missed a single note in the solo and finished the song! Rushed to the hospital after and survived 🤘🏼 I just saw them at Power Trip (10/23) they sound just this good!!
Priest is the metal band all other metal bands wish they could be. They've been the metal Gods for over 50 years running.
That note that Rob Halford is holding at the end of the song there goes on for some 25+ seconds. That is not an easy feature for Any vocalist in Any genre to pull off which makes Rob Halford one of the Greatest vocalist of all time.
The drum intro was a salutation from the new drummer (at the time), Scott Travis…He rocks to this day with the Priest!
So in the 80s Judas Priest had some very "commercial" sounding albums and alot of fans said they lost their edge and sold out...then they unleashed this beast.....Questioned no more.
Yeah, Turbo Lover nabbed them a whole new group of what I called “pink rock” fans and drew them in nice and close and then threw this at them ahahahaha - and they loved it too!
There are two guitarists here-Glenn Tipton and KK Downing. Both mind blowing!
this band has been around since the early 70's and has changed so much over the years. The main solo is played by Glenn Tipton. He has sadly had to retire from the band due to Parkinson's. I named my son after Glenn
I'm 54 and Priest has been my favorite band since I was 15. To see where they started with Rocka Rolla to now has been amazing. You should do some of their older stuff. Beyond the realms of death, the sentinel and victim of changes to name a few. Thanks for the reaction
I'm 63, and I totally agree with you!!! Rock ON!!
Same brother... im 55.. love OLD MILL more than ever now!!! Love their early stuff.. Robs voice is peak!!! And he has great respect for the late RJD!! GOT TO LOVE THE MAN!
Hats off to Scott Travis!!! He came on board after the electric drums and surpassed them!! Thank you Mr. TRAVIS!!
Im really enjoying JP's older stuff lately! Love RUN OF THE MILL! And the whole band seem very humble. Rob especially. He and RJD.. they are both GOATS!
There's enough metal in this song to build 2 aircraft carriers.
They didn't break the rules, they made them. Inspired so many artists all over the world. So long on stage and so different. One of my first own audio cassettes was their album Turbo when I was about 10 years old, so I've known them for a long time. But I really fell in love and began to understand their music differently much later and after I returned to their early albums. Especially Sad Wings of Destiny. Victim of Changes has already been recommended here - a great song, but it's better to listen to the whole album. Painkiller is a good song, but it does not make it possible to understand who judas prie. Sorry for my English and thanks for reaction!
Agreed Judas Priest created metal, they were metal before metal even existed.
Most metalist metal song ever metalled!
On the solos you have Glen Tipton and K K Downing. Both legends!
the entire Painkiller album is absolute FIRE, well worth the purchase. please add All Guns Blazing and Nightcrawler to your playlist
Im 54 and have been listening to priest since 77.ive also met rob halford in personin 95
VICTIM OF CHANGES Live 🤟😎
Saw Judas priest in 1979 as a teenager in a small venue with around 300 people in it .
Rob Halford (vocals) of Judas Priest inspired a lot of metal singers (More than likely also Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses...) ...U had past singers in the 70's that had the 'high scream' vocal range... Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Ian Gillan (Deep Purple), Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath), Geddy Lee (Rush), etc... But Halford brought a new level of intensity and edge when Judas Priest started in the mid-70's.
Back then, 'heavy metal' was band's like Black Sabbath which had a slow, heavy and punishing sound... Judas Priest began to bring in the faster elements to heavy metal - faster guitars, faster beats w/ double bass... piercing vocals. Their 1977 album 'Sin after sin' and 1978 album 'Stained class' were so groundbreaking for their time... Priest was also a show-no-mercy live band in concert... the twin-lead guitar duo of Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing also wrote the rules on the playing aspect of heavy metal... Priest's 1980 album 'British steel' was a sonic detonation w/ songs like 'Breaking the law' and 'Living after midnight' scoring on the pop charts, which was unheard of back then...
'Painkiller' came later in their career in 1990, after thrash metal bands like Metallica and Slayer were becoming popular... and Judas Priest were seemingly losing ground and sales... They had endured a ridiculous trial in Nevada where they were accused of inspiring a grisly double-suicide w/ their music (allegedly w/ a 'subliminal command' on a record)... Priest were exonerated, but it was tough on them... Their anger shone through on the 'Painkiller' and showed the world that Judas Priest were still one of the greatest heavy metal bands on the planet 🤘🤘🔥🔥Not 1 ballad or filler track... all killer tunes from first to last...
Green mandalishi victim of changes screaming for vengeance nightcrawler electric eye grinder running wild bloodstone diamonds and rust tyrant firepower
Full album its amazing
This is one of them songs you get in the car and pop on as you get on the freeway and moments later look down and you are doing 130Mph and didn't even notice well till you check the rear view and wonder how long the red and blue lights have been back there.
I had the pleasure to see them in January of 91' for the Painkiller tour with Megadeth opening for them. One bad ass show.🤘🤘
Wasn't Pantera part of that tour at some point? That would have been epic to see them at that stage of their career.
@@JEppsLars Testament was the other opener for the North American tour when I saw them.
Pantera toured with them in the European segment. I had to look that one up.
Back when Marty was still with them. I am so sorry I missed that one.
@@JEppsLars Pantera, Annihilator, Judas Priest! This was the European Tour 91. One of the best of all time I saw (ca.300)
METAL GODS - and I did by the LP in 1990, been a fan since the early 80's.
RIP to Chris Tsangarides the charismatic producer of this incredible Studio Album for whom noone ever talks about...
More Priest please! i suggest you Screaming for Vengeance (LIVE from 1983)
Painkiller is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Cant go wrong with any song from it. There are only a hand full of albums I would say that about.
Screaming for vengeance is also perfect
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but at the time this video was made, the lineup was:
Rob Halford - Vocals
Glenn Tipton - Guitar - 1st solo
K.K. Downing - Guitar - 2nd solo
Ian Hill - Bass Guitar
Scott Travis - Drums
Rob Halford is 2023 over 70 years old and still with Judas Priest on Tour
Legendary song! The most metal! How can a song be so perfect? The vocals, the guitar, the drums. Everything is pumping so hard, including your pulse. It's so hard but is so smooth at the same time. Epic!
That's Glenn Tipton dude, on lead guitar, one of the greatest of all time!
Seen this show live in Calgary Canada. Front row, one of the best metal shows of all time. Priest rocks!!!
Priest were heavy metal pioneers, but by the mid-80s they were kind of seen as dinosaurs. They still had some great songs and albums, but thrash was making them sound old and slow. Then they got Scott Travis on drums for Painkiller and they were right back in the mix.
This is one of the songs I would play if someone asked me to define heavy metal.
I bought Painkiller when it first came out, I was 19. Painkiller is the best song on the album, but the whole album is very good. The only Priest album that is all killer with no filler.
That man turned that guitar solo into a banshee scream!!!
Judas Priest are one of the bands that created metal. Before them metal didn't exist. I have this song set for my alarm in the morning.
Black Sabbath created it. Priest definitely did it proud
Sabbath created *doom metal, "metal" was an American blues thing first, the English simultaneously experienced a similar working class culture in their own music with the acid rock / psych bands American pop culture kind of slept on originally
i feel happiness and joy . like a blanket of sound comfort
The whole album is relentless!
That is Glenn Tipton.
The blonde headed guitarist is founder K.K. Downing.
The whole CD is awesome.
Judas Priest have not only become a huge, legendary act in their own right, but also influenced innumerable other bands to play fast-paced, yet melodic, and meticulously well-crafted heavy metal. Among them, the "US power metal" bands, usually not well-known in their home country but rather in Europe, where heavy metal to this day remains very, VERY popular. Some of those obscurish US gems you could try include Savatage (I suggest the song "Hall of the mountain king"), Helstar (I suggest the song "Run with the pack") and Riot (I suggest the song, and album, "Thundersteel"). Here you find musicianship, hooks, high-pitched vocals and guitar playing second to none.
We also have German bands: again, not well-known in the US but big on the verge of deserving the label stars in Europe. The biggest, and arguably best, are Helloween (I suggest the song "I want out"), their spin-off band Gamma Ray (I suggest the song "Fight") and Running Wild (I suggest the songs "Whirlwind", "Black soul" and "Wheel of doom"). The legendary Accept would also belong to this category, having produced a buttload of certified classic heavy metal tracks like "Fast as a shark", "Balls to the wall" and "Metal heart".
But as far as dual heavy metal guitars classic heavy metal style go, there is simply no beating the undisputed super behemoth that is Britain's Iron Maiden. (In recent times, they even upgraded from dual to triple lead guitars.) If you have an interest in bass guitar as well, Iron Maiden's leader Steve Harris is the architect of one of the most unique bass sounds in music: his fingerstyle playing is lightning-fast but with an undeniable groove, greatly adding to the singular identity of Iron Maiden.
Last, but arguably not least, we have modern day acts of exceptional quality as well - again, predominantly European. Fastest of the fast are Britain's Dragonforce (every Guitar Hero player is familiar with the classic "Through the fire and flames"), but Sweden and Finland would probably be the greatest "Judas Priest-style heavy metal" nations of all. From the latter country come Stratovarius (I recommend the song "Hunting high and low") and Battle Beast (I recommend the songs "Kingdom" and "Raven"). Sweden in turn boasts the likes of Hammerfall (I recommend the song "Hearts on fire") and modern day superstars Sabaton (I recommend the songs "Primo Victoria", "40:1" and "Dreadnought"). But if you like it just a little more brutal, though still similar, perhaps no one today can beat Arch Enemy, the Swedish act currently sporting Canadian singer Alissa White-Gluz. Their 2022 album "Deceivers" include gem after gem, including the video track "Deceiver", and is an introduction as good as any. The musicianship is nothing short of spectacular, not least the dual guitar playing by main man Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis (formerly a member of Seattle US metal legends Nevermore).
Go investigate! It WILL be worth your while.
After a couple of previous “average” albums and this came out, every Priest fans first thought was “ The Priest is back” !!
💯! I had moved on. Seeing Halford “dance” To Turbo Lover was the most un-Judas Priest thing ever. I’d say this song saved their career.
Desert Plains (live vengeance 82) uncle Bobby at his best......any live version of Diamonds & Rust.....80s live versions of Electric Eye or Beyond the Realm of Death 🤘🤪🥃
"imagine buying this cassette ...."
You mean REMEMBER!!! hahah!
This was my introduction to metal, bought this cassette from a gas station because I liked the art on the cover....mind was blown...been listening to metal ever since.
Still one of the greatest songs ever, and certainly the best by Priest IMHO
I saw Judas Priest in concert in 2012 and they were still killing it. On a future Metal Friday, Please consider reviewing Queensryche: "Silent Lucidity" (one of the most moving songs I've ever heard) or "Take Hold of the Flame" (the Live in Tokyo version is one of the greatest live performances ever). Geoff Tate is the GOAT vocalist.
The first time I ever heard this song on the radio my jaw about hit the floor and I let out and audible “holy fuck what is this?” Then of course I went home and tried to learn it on guitar.
Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing back then. I have always considered Tipton one of the greatest guitarists ever, and this was my favorite band for many years.
(btw, the singer, Rob Halford did a version of this song and one other, Breaking The Law, with BABYMETAL at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards.)
Kitsune dao!
Oh, my Priest suggestion is Victim Of Changes, Live Vengeance 82
Tipton is the master of the memorable solo.
All hail the metal gods! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
The album cover of Painkiller is the Painkiller. Great piece of airbrush album art.
Judas priest - Jugulator
Is often overlooked because there is no Halford as a singer, but I like it, it's very aggressive and brutal
It's exactly as you described. I listen to our local rock radio channel while driving, I've noticed they don't often introduce this song. They just hit play and the drum solo kicks in and I'm like oh f*** yeah here we go and suddenly my gas foot feels heavy.
I bought the tape the day it dropped and it blew my mind and still does.
Back in the days of vinyl, Judas Priest records would have inner sleeves with lyrics and tell you which guitarist was doing the solos.
Not only is Painkiller the first, and title track, to the album, it's their new drummer Scott Travis's introduction to their fans. What an intro.
Glenn tipton and Kk Downing the best guitars attack🤘⚡🎸🎸⚡🤘. Painkiller album 1990 is heavy and aggressive Metal. The Drummer. He is my neighbor in Las Vegas Scott Travis ex Drummer of Racer X.
I bought the cassette in 1990 listened to it,went ohhhh there's the new drummer...awesome! It's Glenn Tipton who played 1st solo in that video,not Ritchie Faulkner. He does now on tour cause Glenn is 75 with Parkinson's disease. Back then it was Glen and Ken Downing on guitars...best duo ever!
I was 9 years old when my brother introduced me to this Album in 1992. I have been a fav ever since! Check out A Touch of Evil from the same album. You'll Love the Solo!
This song came out 33 years ago and he still can hit those notes! Though my favorite song from this album is "Touch of Evil".
Judas Priest is the band that truly defined what a metal band is. So it is fair to say that Axl Rose was very highly influenced by Robb Halford.
I was a sound engineer in Virginia. In 1985 this drummer Scott Travis booked a Friday night in my studio. He needed a demo tape to take to Los Angeles. Scott blew me away that night! He told me he didn't want to just be a rockstar. He wanted to be the drummer for Judas Priest. Dreams really do come true!
Judas Priest was the inspiration for the Mark Wahlburg movie "Rockstar".
Glen Tipton doesn't play for them anymore because of Parkinson's decease.
Judas Priest have their own mythology, without being too serious about it, of super beings overcoming adversity and evil, they can be dark, heavy af and still manage a positive outcome for the fan/listener, Priest taught me as a kid, you can get out of anything, but you'll have to fight like hell to do it
My friend. The whole album is insane. One of the best metal guitar albums out there.
Most songs after listen to them for a while, you'll probably get tired of them. But when it comes to Painkiller I could put it on repeat and have it played in the background from now until the time Im dead; and I still would love it as much I did first time I listen to it... if not more. 🤘
Yeah, could you imagine back then? Popping this in cranking it up Friday pulling up to your buddies house picking him up and then heading out to a party or something!!!’
One of the best drum intros EVER
During the Painkiller tour Judas Priest took an unknown Pantera to Europe on their Cowboys from Hell album.What a show that would have been.CFH
"Dude I 'm thirsty." Might be the best reaction to this song I've ever seen ROFL
Don’t know the context in which I said this. But the song was sick AF. Thanks for watching.
1990 just when thought you heard Judas Priest this comes blasting out, had this cranking out my Mustang 5.0 forever..
If you wanna go down this rabbithole( And I can't suggest strongly enough that you do!!!) I would go to "Victim Of Changes" next. Amazing songwriting from the VERY early Priest years. A masterpiece!!!!! Even if you dismiss my suggestion, keep doing Priest!!!!
What roses, what pansies? This is metal!
As the saying goes,
"There is enough Metal in this video to build a fucking Battleship!"
If you look op info on the element metal this song just starts playing.
This is so metal the even pure steel listens to this song for inspiration.
Great reaction and analysis so to say. As a massive priest fan i would recommend the sentinel next
When you look up Heavy Metal in a dictionary this song starts playing.
That is the best metal song of all time its relentless from intro til end when i hear that song it just fires me up one word awsome🎸🤘
If someone asked me to define heavy metal this is one of two songs I would point them towards!
I was in college when this was released and got it on launch day and it’s been one of my favourite albums ever since. There’s always so much talk of sub-genres in metal, but if you want the pinnacle of plain old heavy metal then this album might well be it (for me at least). So great to see new people discovering it and appreciating it 30+ years later
This is a great pre or in-progress workout song, try the stairmaster on 10 while listening to this, still hard af, but you'll climb like a firefighter saving children from a burning high-rise building....THE Pain Killer! THIS IS the PainKiller! Main lead guitarist is Glenn Tipton, incredible talent, also KK Downing does the outro guitar solo; Glenn is like a Lambo, KK is like a '68 Camaro SS, the 2 styles compliment one another so well
I remember blasting this cd in my 68 Camaro when it came out 😂
I was deployed overseas in the Army when this came out, a little thing called Desert Storm. This was our PT song, everyone thought we were crazy, lol.
There are so many parts in this song where the guitar sounds like it's screaming and I love it.
Never thought of this as a wedding or funeral song. Hardcore!
This is as metal as it gets 🤘😝🤘
I know I feel empowered and energized!! It's a mind-blowing amazing song!! Judas Priest is one of my favorite bands! 🤘🏻🔥❤️ Great reaction!!
When you get thirsty listening to music…. Lol. Great reaction…!
I'm not really a metalhead but this song does it for me.
I was a senior in high school when it was released, it was awesome then and still is today.
The drummer was a new drummer on that album. Starting it with that drum solo was Scott's way of saying "hello, I'm here." Indeed, I remember buying that cd my senior year in high school -- huge Priest fan then and now. Hearing that for the first time was one of the greatest metal moments of my life. Once again, Priest took metal to a new level, another dimension. Rock hard, ride free, all metal heads....
Super metal so nostalgic 🎶🙋🏻♀️🤯🎸🤘🏽
Music is life ! 🎶
Mythological/apocalyptic/lyrical epicness of biblical proportions. That is The Painkiller. 🤘💀
You failed to mention how long Halford held that note on the last Painkiller at the end.
pumped, and awestruck.
Tipton, king if the memorable solo.
