This was Judas Priest throwing the gauntlet down to the thrash and speed metal bands that were becoming so popular at the time. Priest is like: "You think we're all 'Turbo Lover', brah?! Well, get a face full of THIS!!"

Mainstream metal by the decades: 70s - foundational metal. Classic rock with more grunt. 80s - hair/glam metal or thrash. More complex 90s - heavier with more groove. More brutal, birth of nu metal 2000s - big mess of shit. Mostly bands trying to be more extreme or experimental (or gangsta) 2010s - A few lessons learned from previous decades. Broader soundscapes and influences, less focus on being as brutal as possible, sometimes you might wonder whether you’re listening to metal.

Not exactly S&M, more gay, because he is gay. He did that do hide his homosexuality in plain sight. Wen somebody would see him in a sex shop he would then go "Always looking for a stage outfit!". Back when coming out really was risky that was a smart thing to do.

Painkiller, a song so metal that even the vocalist sounds like an electric guitar.

My dad told me when PAINKILLER album came up back in 1990 it caught everybody off guard; even Judas Priest fans didn't expect to be hit like this... With this song and this album, the band took the heavy metal to the category of the fine arts.

That may be the best pinch riff ever created.

This was Priest latching on to the thrashiness of the time. Their 70 and 80s stuff is fantastic. Not as manic. Listen to Victim of Changes. That shows his full range. Best metal vocalist.

Finally Judas f***ing Priest! They released their first album in the early 70's, they got much more popular in the 80's and this was their first "back to the roots" album in 1990 after experimenting a bit with synthesizers and a more pop sound during the second half of the 80's. I can understand it's not the most amazing song to hear when you're not a die hard metalhead, the song isn't very nuanced, it's more all guns blazing (kinda no pun intended, for those who know) and energy cranked up to 11 from start to finish. If you want to check out one of their songs that is more like "Fade to Black", check out "Beyond the Realms of Death" from 1978, it was actually an inspiration for writing Fade to Black. It has an amazingly beautiful and musical guitar solo at roughly the half point, and then a heavier solo at the end. And yes, they are still active and touring, although only the bassist is an original member and the kind of original singer who joined just a few years after the band formed. The guitarists and the drummer are much newer members.

Judas priest has been putting out metal since 1969 and their still putting out new material. You should listen to Judas Priest - Touch of Evil

Check out Judas Priest 'Victim Of Changes' live at the US festival 1983.....just wow!

The song by Judas Priest you might know is Breaking the Law, it's pretty famous. The band have been going since the late 60s. The question about the aesthetics is interesting, since it was pretty much created, or at least incorporated into the heavy metal-scene, by Rob Halford (the singer). In 98 Halford came out as gay, which did put the aesthetic into a new context! Some homophobic fans found it hard to reconcile the fact that what they had come to think was cool was popularized by a gay man, but according to Halford coming out was mostly undramatic within the metal community. Of the classic heavy metal bands the one you haven't reacted to yet is Iron Maiden, I think Hallowed Be Thy Name is a good introduction, and the live versions are always better when it comes to Iron Maiden!

It's already a year now that I am commenting (2020). Many may say that the unholy trinity of rock such as The Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple started the heavier stuff in rock and roll. Judas Priest started in 1969 and based on their progression until these days, they are very much the Godfather of Metal Rock.

Dreamer Deciever is a great Judas Priest song. Please give it a listen

Judas Priest, although formed in 1969 with their first album released in 1974, they were part of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" that came around in 1980 along with Iron Maiden, Angel Witch, and others because with the release of their album British Steel in 1980, their popularity sky-rocketed and continue to this day. They just released a new album Firepower in 2018.

1990 is when Painkiller came out. This album marks a departure and an entry. Rob Halford left after this album for 12 years and Scott Travis (Drummer) joined the band in 1989 and debut on this album. Scott is the longest drummer to have been with Judas Priest. Still with Judas Priest today since 1989. Scott has a favorite past Priest drummer which is Les Binks.

Best guitar solo ever.

Breaking the Law, You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Heading Out to the Highway, Beyond the Realms of Death. Do one of those!! All Judas Priest songs.

They started out back in 1969 and are still going strong. Rob Halford the singer is known as The Metal God and is widely imitated by metal singers.

This album was released in 1990 and I believe this is the best Judas Priest..

Amy's facial reactions are so pure! Thanks for this review. Painkiller is a fun first time reaction for Priest virgins xD

This is one of my favorite songs and I'm not a huge Judas Priest fan but I freakin love this song it jams from start to finish 🤘

this album and song are whats called Thrash metal. It started in the late 70's early 80's and peaked late 80's early 90's. Artists you'd be comparing this too would be the Big 4, Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. Judas Priest has been around since 68 or 69 and is considered almost the rolling stones of metal, apart from Metallica and Megadeth. Songs typically are shortish (under 5min usually), very fast, lots of double drumming and bass. Also - Rob Halford the singer is classically opera voice trained.

They can't find a point to pause the video because this song is a metal tornado it doesn't let you down from the moment it starts till the moment it ends. It is the definition of metal

First, if you want cinematography check out the video for Solstafir - Blafjall. It's beautiful and engaging. Their music is also fantastic. Not metal, per se, it's hard rock-ish with a lot of influences. Second, people kind of thought Judas Priest were washed up by this time in their career (they started in the late 60's) and then, out of nowhere, they came out with this song that is now considered a prime of example of "true heavy metal". They got a new drummer and he really pumped new life into the band. They got a new guitarist recently and put out an album last year, Firepower, that stands with the best of the Priest albums in my opinion almost 50 years into their career.

Eyebrows through all these channels and find yours stimulating.

Judas Priest is one of those bands that spans every generation. They started in 1969, and have adapted to every era. You can listen to a recent song, and it sounds completely different than Painkiller, and quite the opposite as well. You can go back to the 70's, to the 80's and the music is so different. They are still alive and kicking today. Rob Halford (Lead singer) is one of my personal favorite vocalists of all time, his range is incredible. You have merely dipped your toe in with this song, this band has very deep roots. I recommend exploring their music. Doesn't have to even be on camera, just sit down and listen them from their beginnings to now.
