BLOOD RED SKIES off of Ram it Down, will give you a vocal performance you will never forget, and the song is quite dynamic so there's something to analyze, do it next and you won't be disappointed 🤘
My favourite Priest album of all time and I've been following them since 1979. Every single track on this album is indelibley forged into my brain and my favourite track on this album is and always will be 'The Sentinel'. First one I learned as a guitarist and an inspiration for some of my work in my fantasy art phase of the 80's..🎸✏️❤
Hey Doug, as somebody already mentioned, their stage set for that tour included a mechanical Metallion. And they also had an incredible sound system for that tour. They were incredibly loud, but they sounded really good. My favorite Judas Priest tunes are from the 70’s. You might want to check out Beyond The Realms Of Death.
Check the heaviest album made in the whole 1970`s , genre defining "Unleashed in the East"(original 9 track release) -Live in Japan 1979. It wraps up nicely Priest´s 70´s more progressive style. Very much relevant album today. Hope you can do whole album: Exciter, Running Wild, Sinner, The Ripper, The Green Manalishi, Diamonds and Rust, Victim of Changes, Genocide, Tyrant. Of the 70`s songs pick up "Beyond the Realms of Death" from Stained Class (1978). 80´s "Electric Eye" from Screaming for Vengeance(1982) or " The Sentinel" from "Defenders" (1984).
Screaming for Vengeance and this album Defenders of the Faith, two of the best back to back albums, especially for any teenage metalhead in the 80's. Just load the walkman, jump on the BMX and adventure was mine!
That was the 2nd time Priest had killer back to back albums. The 1st time was in '78 with Stained Class and Killing Machine (a.k.a Hell Bent for Leather in the U.S.) in my opinion. \m/ 😎\m/
Arguably one of the best, most impactful and most beloved albums from one of the true heavy metal giants. A real treat! Please do more from Defenders, or simply do the whole album. It is that good. Thank you ☺️👍
Love Defenders of the Faith much more than Screaming for Vengeance, and as a commercial single, Some Heads are Gonna Roll more than the burned out You’ve Got Another Thing Coming…
This is the album where you can really see their transition from NWOBHM to proto-Yngwie style power metal right down to the classically inspired licks and harmonies
Thanks for bring this one to us Doug. JP are legends. One of my favorite bands of all time, KK and Glenm Tipton guitars together were amazing. From the classics, i recommend a full listenig to "Stained Class", "Killing Machine", "British Steel" or "Screaming for Vengeance". From new stuff, the most recent albuns, "Firepower" and "Invincible Shield", are two pure modern bangers 🤘
Yeeeeeessss more Judas Priest doug. You need to do an EPL on Nostradamus their 2008 concept album that is their most operatic and symphonic release ever.
I'm a huge JP fan and although this song didn't come off the Screaming For Vengeance album I was 10 when the that album dropped and I started playing drums 6 months later so JP was a big part of my drumming journey Fun (?) music fact: As we now know Rob Halford is gay and he said this song is about gratifying (🤔) another person haha True info the interviews are out there As a kid I not a clue 😮😅
@catmus1506 I love Nostradamus, the variety of rhythms is great, the distortion-free transitions accompanied by Halford's melodic voice are beautiful, the guitar solos are brutally creative🤘🏼
Judas Priest are in Japan and photos have just gone up showing Hill with Lovebites' Haruna plus Hall and Hill towering over Haruna and Asami who look very tiny in comparison. They got together before the Priest performance and seem to be good friends.
Thanks for More Priest, my absolute favorite band! They Have so many awesome songs, every album is filled with greatness! Maybe you want to go back to earlier stuff and check out THE RIPPER! Cheers
Gonna keep begging until someone gets it. Wanna do a Priest album review? Do Invincible Shield!!! Halford at 73 will blow your mind. 🤯 I’m 53 and it’s my favorite Priest album by several thousand miles!
Great song. We listened to it performed by Aria with Russian lyrics about fear and valor, when the USSR was still there and had no idea who wrote this song and what it was about :))) lol
Priest is top of Heavy Metal. Look at the albums Firepower, Redeemer of souls and Angel of Retribution. This is great stuff. Greatings from Germany. I enjoy your channel. Carry on this way.
This and Painkiller are the only non-fluff songs you've heard... You need, The Sentinel and Screaming For Vengeance. Then do the Painkiller album... It's worth it 🤘😎
Hey Doug, great video as usual. I think you could give a try to this whole album. One of the best from Priest, for sure! The Sentinel, Some Heads are Gonna Roll, Jawbreaker, Eat me Alive, Love Bites, Night Comes Down - all great stuff! Screaming for Vengeance album is as good as this one. It would be nice to see videos with other songs or the whole side (the whole albums worth it). Happy Holidays! See you in 2025! Greetings from Brazil!
One of my faves is the opening for their Screaming for Vengeance album, The Hellion, followed by Electric Eye. Interesting time in the 80s during the cold war, before the SDI program. A spy satellite sneering at its prey. 😅 No super spectacular vocals in this one, but an explosive opening and I like bridge after the solo with Downing and Tipton driving in synch.
The best Priest album. I had the 'Priest...Live!' album before I heard this album and was surprised that 4 of my favourite tracks were taken from 'Defenders of the Faith'.
My first Priest album. So good. I still have the vinyl original I bought back in 84. You have to do all of those songs you mentioned on this album. One of my favorites on this album is Love Bites.
Doug is a national treasure. The price of Kansas City and KU. I know you do a lot of popular metal bands everyone knows, but I'm just going to through something more obscure into the void and hope you catch it. The band is Pig. The song is "Baptise, Bless & Bleed." Pig is an industrial metal band by Raymond Watts that's been around almost 40 years. Think in the style of Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor. Happy New Year.
Thank You again. It's time for Wishbone Ash and the album Argus from 1972. I think it's the best progrock ever. The whole album is fantastic and I would enjoy your reaction 😊. / Rolf from Stockholm
Great album, great song in, in their day they were one of the best bands to see live. You need to do a review of beyond the Realms of death. Go back to some of the older albums. Like Sad Wings of Destiny and RocknRolla. Don't get me wrong all the albums are great but you got to start at the beginning and get the classic feel period LOL
Hey Doug = you SHOULD check an EXPLANATION of this song's lyrics - you can find this explanation in the autobiography written by Rob Halford - Im TOTALLY certain that you will be VERY VERY VERY SURPRISED ;)))))))))))))))))))))))))) lol lol lol
This song is not about what you think it is about, Doug. Rob (singer and lyricist) is openly and proudly gay, he has said that the lyrics refer to a rather large male appendage, upon which it is difficult and somewhat painful to perform a certain intimate act. For years I didn't get this reference, I just assumed it was about a boxer with a knockout punch!
I noticed you do a lot of Nightwish, and enjoy the band, but unless I've missed it, you haven't done anything with Tarja performing. Tarja has had a pretty successful solo career (as just "Tarja"); you might want to check out some of her work. I'd recommend either I Walk Alone from the album My Winter Storm or Until My Last Breath from the album What Lies Beneath as good starters. Goodby Stranger from the album In the Raw is also fantastic.
I think you must to react to The Sentinel. It's the 4th song of the same album. The song is considered by many (including me) as the best Priest's song ever.
Doug, you are on the right album. The serious cuts are The Sentinel and Freewheel Burning
'Night comes down' is my favorite off this album.
BLOOD RED SKIES off of Ram it Down, will give you a vocal performance you will never forget, and the song is quite dynamic so there's something to analyze, do it next and you won't be disappointed 🤘
From Defenders and Judas Priest in general you HAVE to listen to The Sentinel. An absolute classic !
Beyond the Realms of Death off Stained Class. My favorite track and album from them!
The Sentinel from this album could be my favourite Priest song.
The Sentinel is amazing.
The Sentinel is like a quintessential classic heavy metal song.
An absolute classic !
@@lowdz68 So hard to sing tho!! I was in a band in college and we tried to do that one. I still can’t hit those highs like Rob does on the Sentinel.
@@thadoverocker8771 I think I can. It's not as difficult as something like Victim of Changes or Dreamer Deceiver and Deceiver.
Rob Halford in his autobiography book gives a very interesting explanation of what "Jawbreaker" is.....
I don't have the heart to tell him :D
Tell me more.
I guess you could call it a Frankenstein monster...
@@michael_k7356 HAHA!
Has anyone seen the MASH movie? The character Jawbreaker? 😅
My favourite Priest album of all time and I've been following them since 1979. Every single track on this album is indelibley forged into my brain and my favourite track on this album is and always will be 'The Sentinel'. First one I learned as a guitarist and an inspiration for some of my work in my fantasy art phase of the 80's..🎸✏️❤
Try Beyond the realms of death!
My favorite song by priest Beyond the realms of death is amazing
Yep. My absolute favorite from Judas Priest!
You should hear their version of Joan Baez's ''Diamonds and Rust''
I prefer the first bouncy and less polished version recorded before the one on Sin after sin.
: Judas Priest - Blood red skies ( Ram It Down )
My All time Fav Judas Priest song ever!!!!! Inspired by Terminator.
I agree. Amazing song
This whole album was fan-f’in-tastic! One of KK’s best solos imo
Agreed and Blood Red Skies as well, and his half of Rick hard ride free is stellar
The stage set for the Defenders tour was that cover. Show opened with Halford coming out of the "Metallian's" mouth. Absolutely epic!
@Doug Helvering the creature on the cover is called the Metallian. The bird on Screaming For Vengeance is the Hellion.
Check out Beyond the Realms of Death and also Exciter. Those songs are killer and Stained Class is a great album

80´s "Electric Eye" from Screaming for Vengeance(1982) or " The Sentinel" from "Defenders" (1984).
Who's going to tell him what this song is about? 😂
Good times in Ibiza 😂
Nope.
bummer
not me!
read halfords book.
20 cent candies
Screaming for Vengeance and this album Defenders of the Faith, two of the best back to back albums, especially for any teenage metalhead in the 80's. Just load the walkman, jump on the BMX and adventure was mine!

@@joelkrause388 FUCK YEAP! NICE CALL DUDE.
10/10 album. pick anyone no matter, it's a banger
You should listen to Beyond The Realms Of Death off the album Stained Class. Incredible vocals and one of my favorite guitar solos
Arguably one of the best, most impactful and most beloved albums from one of the true heavy metal giants. A real treat! Please do more from Defenders, or simply do the whole album. It is that good. Thank you ☺️👍
Love Defenders of the Faith much more than Screaming for Vengeance, and as a commercial single, Some Heads are Gonna Roll more than the burned out You’ve Got Another Thing Coming…
The Sentinel - it's a must!!!
DELIVERING THE GOODS!!!!!!! Review that great song
This is the album where you can really see their transition from NWOBHM to proto-Yngwie style power metal right down to the classically inspired licks and harmonies

Stained Class and Sad Wings of Destiny will always be my favorites.
@TheRiconegro me too. I love 70's and 80's Priest albuns
It's a cracking album. Full of fabulous metal tunes
Run of the mill
This channel is so awesome. Feelgood vibes, great analysis and just great content all over.
The jaw breaker song in this album is "The Sentinel"
I saw them live this year. Rob can still hit those notes and absolutely kill it. He is still a force of nature.
I Love this song!
Yeeeeeessss more Judas Priest doug. You need to do an EPL on Nostradamus their 2008 concept album that is their most operatic and symphonic release ever.
I bought this album on vinyl for my birthday. Not a single miss on this record.
The greatest Judas Priest album imo. Please do an album reaction. "Metal-Lion"
I'm a huge JP fan and although this song didn't come off the Screaming For Vengeance album I was 10 when the that album dropped and I started playing drums 6 months later so JP was a big part of my drumming journey Fun (?) music fact: As we now know Rob Halford is gay and he said this song is about gratifying (🤔) another person haha True info the interviews are out there As a kid I not a clue 😮😅
Over 75% of his songs are about gay sex 😂
This album, The Sentinel, Some Heads Are Gonna Roll, Rock Hard Ride Free, Night Comes Down
Doug you gotta do a side at a time on this one. Especially the first side. One of the best metal albums.
Judas Priest!!!❤
Nostradamus, Beyond the realms of death, A Touch of evil, Revelations, Hellrider!!!
Nice to see someone else give some love to Nostradamus. Love that album, but I must listen to it in whole every time.
@catmus1506 I love Nostradamus, the variety of rhythms is great, the distortion-free transitions accompanied by Halford's melodic voice are beautiful, the guitar solos are brutally creative🤘🏼
"Some Heads are Gonna Roll" is a gem!
Glenn Tipton is sorely underrated outside of Metal. One of the greats.
This tour was my first concert ever. Pittsburgh Civic Arena :)
I was also at the show - first time seeing them.
I would pick any of the songs from their performance in Dortmund 1983. Preferably Victim of Changes or Freewheel Burning 🤘😀
Sentinel is my favorite, and this is my favorite Priest album. You could easily do this whole album!❤
Judas Priest are in Japan and photos have just gone up showing Hill with Lovebites' Haruna plus Hall and Hill towering over Haruna and Asami who look very tiny in comparison. They got together before the Priest performance and seem to be good friends.
Love seeing you do Priest!!
Victim of Changes (live at the seminole) Travis on drums
Thanks for More Priest, my absolute favorite band! They Have so many awesome songs, every album is filled with greatness! Maybe you want to go back to earlier stuff and check out THE RIPPER! Cheers
Beyond the realms of death
Gonna keep begging until someone gets it. Wanna do a Priest album review? Do Invincible Shield!!!
Halford at 73 will blow your mind. 🤯
I’m 53 and it’s my favorite Priest album by several thousand miles!
This is one of the best metal albums ever! Just keep doing songs from it and all will be good. Thanks for making my Monday a Metal Monday.
Fantastic sounding band to see live, too 🤘👽
Great song. We listened to it performed by Aria with Russian lyrics about fear and valor, when the USSR was still there and had no idea who wrote this song and what it was about :))) lol
Priest is top of Heavy Metal. Look at the albums Firepower, Redeemer of souls and Angel of Retribution. This is great stuff.
Greatings from Germany. I enjoy your channel. Carry on this way.
Defenders is my favorite JP album!
Screaming for Vengeance or The Sentinel.
A great choice of song from a great album.
Thought he would have done a Maiden video seeing Nico just retired
Freewheel Burning is my suggestion for your next Priest experience!
Absolutely- must be the next one!
This and Painkiller are the only non-fluff songs you've heard... You need, The Sentinel and Screaming For Vengeance. Then do the Painkiller album... It's worth it 🤘😎
Hey Doug, great video as usual. I think you could give a try to this whole album. One of the best from Priest, for sure! The Sentinel, Some Heads are Gonna Roll, Jawbreaker, Eat me Alive, Love Bites, Night Comes Down - all great stuff! Screaming for Vengeance album is as good as this one. It would be nice to see videos with other songs or the whole side (the whole albums worth it). Happy Holidays! See you in 2025! Greetings from Brazil!

A spy satellite sneering at its prey. 😅 No super spectacular vocals in this one, but an explosive opening and I like bridge after the solo with Downing and Tipton driving in synch.
This album for me is the highest point of this legendary band. 🤘😚🤘
you can listen to the entire album "Stained Class", it's a great Priest album 🤘
Maybe my personal favourite along with Defenders and Painkiller. Such a great album, also way ahead of its time.
Judas Priest - Let Us Prey / Call for the Priest... Album is Sin After Sin.
The best Priest album. I had the 'Priest...Live!' album before I heard this album and was surprised that 4 of my favourite tracks were taken from 'Defenders of the Faith'.
Diamonds and Rust. And beyond the reals of Death ❤❤
Doug and I gave the Bigfoot a pedicure for Christmas 🎄🎁
My first Priest album. So good. I still have the vinyl original I bought back in 84. You have to do all of those songs you mentioned on this album. One of my favorites on this album is Love Bites.
Defenders of the faith is where heavy metal peaked. ❤
Hello maestro, I think side of screaming for vengeance will be a great episode for The dayly Doug. Greetings and happy holidays. Merry Christmas.
Doug is a national treasure. The price of Kansas City and KU. I know you do a lot of popular metal bands everyone knows, but I'm just going to through something more obscure into the void and hope you catch it. The band is Pig.

Eat me alive. Same album. Dof is a great album.
Love this solo
Dr. Doug, you mentioned at the beginning of the video that this is the last metal Monday of the 2024 calendar year, there are two Mondays left.
Thank You again. It's time for Wishbone Ash and the album Argus from 1972. I think it's the best progrock ever. The whole album is fantastic and I would enjoy your reaction 😊. / Rolf from Stockholm
The Sentinel is a banger
Halford!!!! 🤘🏻
Great album. Freewheel Burning is my fave tune from Priest.
The Jawbreaker is ...read Rob's book 😁👍
Great album, great song in, in their day they were one of the best bands to see live. You need to do a review of beyond the Realms of death. Go back to some of the older albums. Like Sad Wings of Destiny and RocknRolla. Don't get me wrong all the albums are great but you got to start at the beginning and get the classic feel period LOL
So many good songs on this album. You can just pick a random and enjoy
Hey Doug = you SHOULD check an EXPLANATION of this song's lyrics - you can find this explanation in the autobiography written by Rob Halford - Im TOTALLY certain that you will be VERY VERY VERY SURPRISED ;)))))))))))))))))))))))))) lol lol lol
Although screaming for vengeance has the best scream ever
Love the Priest!
Halford prolly at his peak -check out live footage from that tour. He held nothing back!
You haven't done The Sentinel yet?! Oh boy, you must!
Defenders is easily my favorite Priest record. Not a weak track on it and The Sentinel remains my favorite Priest song.
Jawbreaker, Painkiller, and Jugulator walk into a bar...
This song is not about what you think it is about, Doug. Rob (singer and lyricist) is openly and proudly gay, he has said that the lyrics refer to a rather large male appendage, upon which it is difficult and somewhat painful to perform a certain intimate act. For years I didn't get this reference, I just assumed it was about a boxer with a knockout punch!

Goodby Stranger from the album In the Raw is also fantastic.
Doug I would really like to hear your opinion on Santanas "Europa" please react to this!
If you wanna hear Robs range, I would recommend either Turbo Lover or Jonny Be Good.
Kidding. Right?
Cool shirt Bro. I have that in a purple hoodie lol. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
0:40 would be great a chronological reaction to their discography. Then you will notice the evolution of the sound of Judas Priest
I think you must to react to The Sentinel. It's the 4th song of the same album.
The song is considered by many (including me) as the best Priest's song ever.
The Sentinel please! Defenders and Painkiller the best Priest and both in my top 10 albums of all time.
In my opinion, the best Priest album
