"Halford openly admitted being a huge Lady Gaga fan, so when asked if he had seen the insane KZread mashup of Lady Gaga’s Judas and Judas Priest’s Painkiller by mashup artist Wax Audio, Halford said he had just been watching it again a few days before the interview. “I was watching it with Chris Freeman, who was the bass player for gay punk band Pansy Division. He came to the pre-show the other day and we got the iPad out and he had his mind blown. It has 1,750,000 views. I love it."

I feel like these songs really contribute to each other, having such different tones. I especially like how she says in her high female voice "Judas" in such a weird way, and then dudes just belt out a short deep "PRIEST!" It's a great combination.

@PowerSkunk92

It'll never happen, but if this were ever played live, I can just imagine the singers getting the audience to rip out "PRIEST!" at the appropriate moments. And the general catchiness of the whole mashup means that everyone there is liable to stomping their feet and banging their heads with abandon. You would hear that final, song-ending "PRIEST!" six counties over.

The banging drums actually give this song a Rammstein-ish vibe to me. How crazy would that be, if Rammstein covered this song?

I love both of the original songs but it would be a lie if I said this didn't get me more pumped than either one separate

I come back to this delightful track over and over again. Easily a favorite song in general. Better punch and energy than either of the original sources, and they're so so very much better together.

As a Priest fan since the 70's, I found this mash up to be tastefully and skillfully done, doing credit to both artists. Excellent work!

This is some serious musical talent here! If you didn’t know the originals it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.

Look up Anyplace Anywhere Anytime. Originally a duet between Nena and Kim Wilde (already two big names in 80's pop) and then look for Symphonity's cover of it. Thank me later, you're gonna love it. This idea of metalifying pop songs is the bread and butter of a lot of youtubers these days. Just look at Jonathan Young and Frog Leap Studios. You get metal for days of songs you heard in the radio.
