Your decision to add Beavis and Butt-Head, the original reactors to your reaction comp is nearly as epic as the song itself. Well done Mr. Brooks. Well done.
When Painkiller was released it felt like Judas Priest was sending a message out to the current crop of bands that basically said “Move the fuck over, Let the Masters show you how it’s done”.
It was more like Judas Priest sending a message that "You thought we were dead eh, well guess again". A few previous albums before Painkiller had been pretty lackluster and they were pretty much seen as a bygone band already, but this song and indeed the entire album is the best comeback from a creative dead end ever.
I think it was a message to guys like me, who had written them off after a couple of pretty questionable album releases. Message received, boys. Well done.
Since in the late 80's all these thrash bands who were inspired by them were taking their spotlight Priest were like "aight bet" and released this masterpiece
DUDE!!! RICHIE'S HEART DIDN'T STOP IT EXPLODED... LITERALLY!!! NO EFFIN' JOKE!! HIS AORTA ACTUAL BURST ON STAGE AND THAT MUTHA TRUCKER STILL FINISHED THE SONG OFF! Metal gods were looking out for him too, that show just happened to be near one of the premier cardiac medical facilities in the country.
I invited a friend of mine who loves grunge to an Alice in Chains + Judas Priest concert a few years back. He didn't know much about Judas Priest and when the drummer teased us with the intro, I looked at him and said: "oh, you're in for a ride...". I got to see this reaction from him live and it's something I'll never forget... "It keeps going!?" he shouted several times. When the song ended, his face was just priceless.
Oh no... no no no... the absolute originators of the reaction video phenomenon. They solidified their position as reaction video royalty when, while reacting to Clutch's video for "Shogun Named Marcus", Beavis hysterically screamed "whoa look at the nads on that pig!"
When MTV was still about Music. Man, I miss the old days when I would sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to watch Headbangers Ball on MTV. I had a serious crush on Vanessa Warwick :)
In 2024 when they have released another album Invincible Shield, his voice is still godlike even with his screams and high pitched singing. It is phenomenal.
Beavis and Butthead are the original reactors. My soul always died a little when they would rip on something I liked...started my year off right to see them here. You are killing it, bud!
Happy New Year!! I just want to thank everyone who has supported this channel with views, comments, and subs. I still can't believe how big this whole thing has gotten, it's been an amazing year! I'm looking forward to 2023, making more videos and maybe hitting 50k subscribers? Thank you all for the love you have shown me in the comments, I really do appreciate it. Remember to support your favorite reactors and bands because without them I couldn't make my silly little UA-cam vids.
By far my favorite channel. :) Keep up the awesome work. I can’t imagine how much time it takes to make these but when a new one of your vids pops up, I know I’m in for a good time.
Man, I remember popping in the cassette as a twelve year old 1990, and it changed everything for me... I was like wtf!!! I was a drummer in my school band and I got a double pedal after listening to this! Still frikkin' amazing song!
Priest at the top of their game is next level. I remember buying this as a kid and just being blown away, (still am). This is the album that made my mom buy me headphones...
Glenn Tipton is a ridiculously crazy good metal guitarist!!!! Scott Travis on drums!!! Are you kidding me!?! And Rob Halfords vocals.... absolutely the best!!! Good to see all you newcomers getting a taste of what we metal heads have been dealing with for decades!!! \m/ Passion is an understatement when it comes to metal!!
I’m only 23 but I got to see them in concert a year ago and they still absolutely kill it. I’ve been to a lot of concerts and it was one of my favorites
Excellent compilation!! Beavis and Butthead was a nice touch. It was cool!! Priest was my first concert man! 2005 at the retribution tour. I was 9. Crowd went crazy for painkiller. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@kevinschoenfeld6294 Awesome. Generational metal love. Mine was in Michigan but I can't remember where. Grand Rapids maybe, idk. Anyway your mom is awesome and so are you.
I've never been a huge fan of Rob's voice, but he absolutely slays on this track, as does the rest of the band. Easily one of Priest's top 5 songs. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@11DNA11 According to an article by a classical vocal coach, Rob had the most potential out of the metal singers she was asked to comment on. At the same time, Dio and Dickinson made more out of their voices, without classical training, but it was Halford whom she wanted to get her hands on.
Good thing she never got her old dirty hands on Rob. His singing abilities are pure natural talent. You can't teach that. What would an old bag teach him? Nothing.
Rob Halford (lead singer) and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden were two of the first metal vocal masters in my opinion….Maynard James Keenan of Tool is my current favorite:)
Maiden Japan has a very early live recording of Dickinson singing, "Remember Tomorrow." It is Dickinson at his absolute best, but I still do not think he stands up to Halford. Dickinson could not sing this song the way Halford delivers it.
Lol Maynard sucks ass and tool are overhyped rubbish. Dani filth from cradle of filth would kick both their asses vocally and lyrically with a 5 octave vocal range. Get some fukin taste.
How have I been sleeping on Judas Priest my whole life?!? Iv been a metal kid since I was 15 in the 90s, Korn started it, but I went back in time for a lot of 70-90s metal bands. How did I miss them
Honestly Judas Priest just get looked over a lot. I think because they just didn't have the same commercial success that bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica had, and probably because they had their best run really in the few years before metal hit the mainstream. The year Maiden released their debut, Priest released their sixth and most well known album British Steel. They'd released the followup, and their second most popular album, Screaming for Vengeance, a year before The Number of The Beast and Kill 'Em All released and really started making waves. This song was even made to remind people that Judas Priest was still a metal monster, as their older style of metal had been left by the wayside by thrash bands. I wouldn't be surprised too if it was a case of the band name making them somewhat unmarketable in the states due to all the religious backlash rock and metal got in the 80s.
So I was a 90s kid, started learning about metal in highschool in the early 2000s. Started with AC/DC and Zeppelin, and Metallica. Branched off into Sabbath, Motorhead and Priest. And that's when I really got into Metal. But 80s Power Metal will always hold a special place in my heart
@@TheBecke1983 well the first albums are just bluesy rock with a few heavier songs that lean more towards early heavy metal. Sin After Sin ('77) then feels very in between rock and metal. Then Stained Class ('78) onwards is where it becomes more definitively metal.
My dad handed me this album on cassette, we jumped into his car, stuck it into the cassette player and cranked up the volume. When those drums hit, I was never the same. I was 5 years old.
Painkiller is close to the definitive heavy metal song. I have the personal theory that your life is divided before and after hearing Painkiller. It's a door to other universe. No other metal song put the image in your head of a menacing metal monster crushing the planet with sheer, raw, brute strength and Rob Halford's his manic menestrel presenter. The closest we have the soundtrack to the apocalypse along The Stooges' "Search and Destroy".
The whole album is like this. The only time it even comes close to slowing down is "Touch Of Evil," which just pummels you to death with a steady grind. "All Guns Blazing" is almost as savage as "Painkiller." So is "Night Crawler." For me, this is the most hardcore metal album ever recorded. Maybe one day, it will be topped... but I'm not holding my breath.
I have listened to Painkiller to the extent I can't even muster a ballpark figure of how many times. I am never, I shall never be prepared for the ultimate wrecking ball of a thing it is. The first time I discovered it I went through the same range of emotions as everyone reacting to the video and Judast Priests musicianship. That was an emotional rollercoaster and I am tearing up a bit seeing all these lovely humans experienced what I went through. This kind of music is not only my personal taste, it is part of my identity and I love and adore all the new fans. Up the irons!
One might think this is the heaviest song ever recorded... until you play the rest of the album. The whole thing sounds like this. And yeah, "All Guns Blazing" is downright savage.
Cuando lo escuché por primera vez en 1990 no me podía creer lo que estaba escuchando... Me parecia algo sobrenatural, me producía una sensación en todo mi cuerpo que no podía, ni puedo a día de hoy expresar. Recuerdo pasar el cassette hacia atrás una y otra vez, lo escuchaba 6, 7 10, 12 veces seguidas y no me cansaba... Todo el disco era buenísimo, una joya, pero este primer tema que le daba título al álbum es probablemente el mejor tema de HEAVY METAL de la historia. Al menos yo, 33 años después no he vuelto a escuchar nada igual y mira que he escuchado cosas...
Ese año salieron varios portentos de canciones del rock y metal,..bendito año: Holy Wars... the punishment due, Cowboys from Hell, walk, man in the box, ....
In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....because Rob Halford is this freakin' great. He can sing several octaves more than you think he can and then he sings and shatters that expectation too. Twin lead guitars and the drums. I saw Dave Holland but Travis is really awesome on this track and their bass player Ian Hill....epic. Priest rules.
Saw them on this Tour and they took it to another level live!!! Them and Iron Maiden lost money they put so much into it for their fans!!!! This era was balls out freaky fun!!! So blessed to grow up in the 80’s and saw the next level of POWER!!!!!!
As if we didn’t already know that @DerekBrooksEdts is the hero the world needs right now, he drops the Priest, and Beavis & Butthead. The man is a legend. Thanks for all you do fam much love and respect and hope you get the recognition you deserve in ‘23.
Puro metal en estado incandescente. Ese solo de Tipton es hierro fundido que recorre a toda velocidad cada célula de tu cuerpo y parte tu cráneo. Painkiller una joya del heavy metal. Gracias Judas!!!🎸🎸🤘🤘
AWESOME way to start 2023! Great job Derek! Throwing in Beavis and Butthead was pure icing on the cake! Priest is one of staples in my musical diet. I have everything they've ever made, including the Ripper years. Halford solo stuff is an absolute must too. Live Insurrection is probably one of thee best in terms of production quality. Thanks again for this outstanding compilation!
It just goes to show, that Heavy Metal and Judas Priest can be enjoyed by all ages, skin colors, and music preferences. Its always fun watching people that normally dont listen to heavy metal basically get their minds blown/faces melted off when hearing various Iconic Metal songs. This was a treat to view.
I saw this live in 1990- Megadeth was first up. Then Rob rolled out on his Harley and they opened with Painkiller. That show was the reason my ears still ring 33 years later. (Wear hearing protection kids! 🤘🏽🤘🏽)
The guitar pickups Priest's gunslingers used were a big part of the sound. Most guitarists, even in heavy bands, were going for that warm, muddy tone. Tipton and Downing went for a more piercing, metalic tone.
this song is Blazing from front to back. just when you think it cant get any higher it goes up another notch! top 3 favorite priest songs of all time!!
I love all the reactions. Seeing people having fun hearing something they weren’t familiar with gave me joy. I grew up on bands like Judas Priest and really like when people experience them.
Oooh, what a nice choice! One of those songs I had myself searched for reactions to, as people seem to be constantly taken by surprise by the ferocity of it. As always, fantastically put together. You are doing a great job.
Always good to see people react, in a positive manner, to the music that was the soundtrack to my high school/young adult years. Metal was outer-fringe, back then, but we metalheads knew talent when we heard it. Even if it was intense.
Painkiller blasts your ears with chaotic hell fire, it drags your mind and body through a blast of twisted metal. When it ends your left with a silence, the same silence you get after the biggest intergalactic explosion known to man or alien. Any thoughts you had before the music started has been ripped apart, chewed up, spat out, trod on and then blown away in the destruction and left you almost speechless. Thats the feeling you get after you've listened to painkiller.
I love these videos as i watch a good amount of reaction channels. I think i have heard this song once before and am honestly surprised more reactors didn't say bad things about it based on the mid-song emotions. It's like a spike to my forehead but that takes nothing away from what people like or the talent in Priest. That one long guitar solo was batshit crazy. Good work, sir!
What I find amazing is that, these are grown adult listening to Painkiller for the first time. Now, Image listening to it at the age of 16 when it released. They have something to compare it to.
I remember when this song and the album came out, I was was floored by this song. SO freaking good, I still listen to and enjoy it just as much on a regular basis. The drums never get old for me, and I often wish a drum corps could play this song. Would be amazing.
What a great video review. Loved all the reactions. Imagine growing up with this music. Just an abundance of awesome bands with talent and skill. I miss all the music from the 80's. Glad to have lived it. All the concerts I went to with friends were the best. Now I need another blood pressure pill to relax.
I actually remember when was the first time I listened to/watched Painkiller. I was 16, and it felt like dying, going to hell, going to heaven, and back to life.
What i really love about these reactions....is the different people from all the different backgrounds listening to it, and appreciating these different genres. I would never expect 90% of these people to listen and like this stuff. Brilliant.
I never bought into the whole melted face thing, being a seasoned metalhead. But this song does it. I know what they mean with the term because of this song. And yes, it never stops.
I've listened to a many great songs from Judas Priest and shamefully have never heard Painkiller until today. This song rips like none I've ever heard before and my face was so contorted I actually feel like I had another 10 years of energy added to my life. And I love the guitar, and the sounds were so great. Bu kudos to Rob and the whole band. It definitely is one of the most epic songs I've ever heard. That and I just heard my first Tool song today, "The Pot"....today was a good day. :)
What a awesome video compilation I swear I am subscribed to 90% of these reviewers and watched almost all of them review this song! This song is Judas Priest putting the pedal to the metal and that’s awesome! Thanks for posting!
I think this song was pretty much Priest's response to all the criticism they received from the Turbo album. It was their way of saying "OK, so you didn't like that, well check this $hit out! We're still the godfathers of heavy metal and we still got it!!"
Derek you are super talented ..you have a absolute genuis eye for mixing these music reactions . They are absolute genuis how well they are done ..take a bow 🙇♂️ 👏 🙌 👌 ❤️

Night Crawler
What did you thought would be? Pop rock
@@shadowleviathan can't bother mate, I thinked twice when I wrote pop-rock.
This song is over 30 years old and still melts your face the same way it did when you first heard it. Absolute masterpiece
The song that somehow managed to make Megadeth sound like little babies in comparison. Priest went right through the roof on this album. 😈
fuck yes.
It's not 30 years old it's 30 years Metal
Judas Priest - Painkiller is easily one of the best metal songs ever.
Hard to argue that! It’s up there on the list
true.
Between this song and master of puppets because of the meaning behind the song.
My #1
it's one of easy songs
Never forget Richie Faulkner having a heart attack on stage, and still continuing the solo while his heart tore itself. Metal Mental frfr

Pardon me? What?
@@naomisanderson8223right!!! Serious stuff eh!! Guys a machine.

I once tried to sing this at karaoke, I was clinically dead for two minutes
I tried it once too and I sounded absolutely laughable even tho I really did my best. A mad respect for this old fart Halford
jajajajaja
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I tried to play the guitar solo. Had to have two fingers amputated after. This song is deadly.
I tried to play the drum parts and my arms and legs went PLEASE STOP WE CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE,CRAMP INCOMING. MAYDAY MAYDAY.

when did Priest and Alice in Chains play a concert together? man wish i saw that
Just like Motörhead’s Overkill … but on Steroids ‼️
@@darren69210 Dude. Overkill was something else live.
Considering you'd be deaf by the time they play it.
If anyone ever asks you to describe the genre of music that is “Heavy Metal” with one song.
This is it.
End of game boss classic.
I like to label this as the national anthem of Heavy Metal
If given a choice of 5 songs: I'd do..Pain Killer, Master of Puppets, Hallowed be thy name, Holy Wars and Raining Blood.
Ironically, it IS the music from the End Boss of "Brutal Legend", a awesome ode to heavy metal PS3 game
I like more Judas Priest first albums, till Britsh Steel. Am I soft? :P
It would be electric eye for me
Shout out Beavis and Butthead, two of the OGs of reaction videos🔥😂

Twin lead guitars and the drums. I saw Dave Holland but Travis is really awesome on this track and their bass player Ian Hill....epic. Priest rules.
Yeah, but it took the Rock HOF too long to finally let them in.
The brutality song of all Time..
New wave British of heavy metal JUDAS PRIEST legendary
Saw them on this Tour and they took it to another level live!!! Them and Iron Maiden lost money they put so much into it for their fans!!!! This era was balls out freaky fun!!! So blessed to grow up in the 80’s and saw the next level of POWER!!!!!!
As if we didn’t already know that @DerekBrooksEdts is the hero the world needs right now, he drops the Priest, and Beavis & Butthead. The man is a legend. Thanks for all you do fam much love and respect and hope you get the recognition you deserve in ‘23.
Priest been following them since my first year in high school . I’m 58 still buying all their music. ❤
Puro metal en estado incandescente. Ese solo de Tipton es hierro fundido que recorre a toda velocidad cada célula de tu cuerpo y parte tu cráneo. Painkiller una joya del heavy metal. Gracias Judas!!!🎸🎸🤘🤘
Poetico maestro
Y nada mal ese último solo de KK Downing al final 🔥
No lo podías explicar mejor.
Tipton's solo is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Pure brilliance!
Having the cassette tape playing at full volume while driving home from school was my favorite part of life.
AWESOME way to start 2023! Great job Derek! Throwing in Beavis and Butthead was pure icing on the cake! Priest is one of staples in my musical diet. I have everything they've ever made, including the Ripper years. Halford solo stuff is an absolute must too. Live Insurrection is probably one of thee best in terms of production quality. Thanks again for this outstanding compilation!
It just goes to show, that Heavy Metal and Judas Priest can be enjoyed by all ages, skin colors, and music preferences. Its always fun watching people that normally dont listen to heavy metal basically get their minds blown/faces melted off when hearing various Iconic Metal songs. This was a treat to view.
One of the best drum lntros. Everything thing about this song is awesome! Rips from start to finish. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw this live in 1990- Megadeth was first up. Then Rob rolled out on his Harley and they opened with Painkiller. That show was the reason my ears still ring 33 years later. (Wear hearing protection kids! 🤘🏽🤘🏽)
They opened with Hell Bent For Leather... Tim Owens rode out the Harley for Painkiller
Testament and Megadeth opened in Cleveland.
One of the best metal singers period!!!
The guitar pickups Priest's gunslingers used were a big part of the sound. Most guitarists, even in heavy bands, were going for that warm, muddy tone. Tipton and Downing went for a more piercing, metalic tone.
There was the Rockman too.
this song is not for the faint of heart, only a true metal head can endure its metal rath that is the PAINKILLER !!!! 🤘🤘
The reactions and how much y’all enjoyed it brought me to tears. 😭
this song is Blazing from front to back. just when you think it cant get any higher it goes up another notch! top 3 favorite priest songs of all time!!
I love all the reactions. Seeing people having fun hearing something they weren’t familiar with gave me joy. I grew up on bands like Judas Priest and really like when people experience them.
I was into all kinds of music in the early 80s. But esp new wave and metal. But Judas Priest MADE ME A METALHEAD ! FOR LIFE!
Oooh, what a nice choice! One of those songs I had myself searched for reactions to, as people seem to be constantly taken by surprise by the ferocity of it. As always, fantastically put together. You are doing a great job.
Always good to see people react, in a positive manner, to the music that was the soundtrack to my high school/young adult years. Metal was outer-fringe, back then, but we metalheads knew talent when we heard it. Even if it was intense.
Painkiller blasts your ears with chaotic hell fire, it drags your mind and body through a blast of twisted metal. When it ends your left with a silence, the same silence you get after the biggest intergalactic explosion known to man or alien. Any thoughts you had before the music started has been ripped apart, chewed up, spat out, trod on and then blown away in the destruction and left you almost speechless. Thats the feeling you get after you've listened to painkiller.
I love these videos as i watch a good amount of reaction channels. I think i have heard this song once before and am honestly surprised more reactors didn't say bad things about it based on the mid-song emotions.
It's like a spike to my forehead but that takes nothing away from what people like or the talent in Priest. That one long guitar solo was batshit crazy.
Good work, sir!
Where have you guys been, then again, I’m 58 years old. This came out in 1990. One of the best and heaviest songs they ever released. 🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
What I find amazing is that, these are grown adult listening to Painkiller for the first time. Now, Image listening to it at the age of 16 when it released. They have something to compare it to.
I remember when this song and the album came out, I was was floored by this song. SO freaking good, I still listen to and enjoy it just as much on a regular basis. The drums never get old for me, and I often wish a drum corps could play this song. Would be amazing.
Your best compilation yet! Bravo!
What a great video review. Loved all the reactions. Imagine growing up with this music. Just an abundance of awesome bands with talent and skill. I miss all the music from the 80's. Glad to have lived it. All the concerts I went to with friends were the best. Now I need another blood pressure pill to relax.
Judas Priest,, Master of Heavy Metal Music in The World
Sólo metaleros entienden esto 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️piel de gallina😍😍😍😍🎶🎶
I saw priest so many times in concert love this album 🤘
It sounds awesome, i wonder what the public reaction was like back in 1990 when they first heard this. Their minds must have been totally blown.
I saw this live, as soon as they hit the guitar solo I started crying I just could not handle how much i enjoyed it sensory overload
I actually remember when was the first time I listened to/watched Painkiller.
I was 16, and it felt like dying, going to hell, going to heaven, and back to life.
Def one of the top 10 greatest Metal songs of all time... facts
Incredible. Thank you and looking forward to more this year!!
Still gives me goosebumps after all these years!
The reactions are fantastic!
That was badass Derek, Best video yet!!, Didn't think anyone could capture the intensity of Priest but you just did here.
And that's exactly how I still feel after listening to Painkiller over a trillion times. 🤘
What i really love about these reactions....is the different people from all the different backgrounds listening to it, and appreciating these different genres. I would never expect 90% of these people to listen and like this stuff. Brilliant.
Incredible energy one of the very best.
I never bought into the whole melted face thing, being a seasoned metalhead. But this song does it. I know what they mean with the term because of this song. And yes, it never stops.
This was friggin Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Great Job!
I can't quite explain how much I enjoy people having such a great time with music. Thank's to who upload this, it's awesome.
I've listened to a many great songs from Judas Priest and shamefully have never heard Painkiller until today. This song rips like none I've ever heard before and my face was so contorted I actually feel like I had another 10 years of energy added to my life. And I love the guitar, and the sounds were so great. Bu kudos to Rob and the whole band. It definitely is one of the most epic songs I've ever heard. That and I just heard my first Tool song today, "The Pot"....today was a good day. :)
Love the perfect sync compilation great editing on the reactions,, well done , we want more
Nice editing definitely captured the epileptic seizure gotta love Priest
What a awesome video compilation I swear I am subscribed to 90% of these reviewers and watched almost all of them review this song! This song is Judas Priest putting the pedal to the metal and that’s awesome! Thanks for posting!
This album was part of my world during my high school days in the early 90's. I love it.
Scott Travis is a beast on those drums
One of the best metal albums ever.
I love watching newbies faces melt before my eyes. It brings a smile to my face
Thank you for all the work you put into this. This really put a big smile on my face!
Nice~ Cannot wait for potentially more Judas Priest on the channel, and everyone's reaction to Rob "Metal God" Halford's vocal range.
Thanks again!! An epic metal anthem you did great justice. Love your videos. I watch several of them regularly. I appreciate your talent.
Great job of putting the video together! It really pulls a smile on my face. Thanks.
I think this song was pretty much Priest's response to all the criticism they received from the Turbo album. It was their way of saying "OK, so you didn't like that, well check this $hit out! We're still the godfathers of heavy metal and we still got it!!"
Watching them live was something else. Wish new music could hit me like this Era.
Derek you are super talented ..you have a absolute genuis eye for mixing these music reactions . They are absolute genuis how well they are done ..take a bow 🙇♂️ 👏 🙌 👌 ❤️
Seen Priest 3 times, Awesome everytime !!
DAMN!! setting the bar high for the new year. haha WonderMama and I have our work cut out for us. lmao the Beavis& Butthead…omg! 🤣 classic. loved it. well done.
YES! Great video, as always. Happy New Year to you and yours!
