Not actually freaky. At that time we had a lot of information out about the capabilities of tech advances in both military and social uses.

Today we have once benign online services that can unilaterally dictate what we see and what we can say. Tech is ALWAYS neutral. People are either just or not just.

The most important comment on this 🧵 is mentioning "The Hellion"..... The surname Helion is derived from the Old English word helm, which means a covering. In some later dialects, this word took on the which means of a roofed shelter for cattle. I'm assuming JP means we are cattle :) especially with the song that follows.

One of the greatest songs on one of the greatest albums by one of the greatest bands...it could be this song was about Britain's decision to place CCTV cameras on every street corner in the 80s...

Excelent choice, guys! But, the intro is mandatory with this song. Victim of changes is next! And please, in a near future, check the singer, Rob Halford's solo work. You won't regret. 🤘🏽

Judas Priest is right up there with Alice Cooper. They started building the genre of metal in the 60's. Two of the best guitarists ever, (KK Downing and Glenn Tipton) and one of the most amazing vocalists ever to live and he's STILL TOURING. They are coming to a local venue right now as I type this. Rob Halford is simply amazing.. Classically trained in opera, they say he has a functional 8 octave voice and I believe it.

"A lot of these bands were really in touch with how corrupt the government is." Great observation. Makes it even more baffling how the general vibe of modern music has completely 180'd. They're almost all on the side of big tech and big government.

Pop/mainstream music is still all about the same romantic tropes that have been around for decades.

RMR he’s talking about popular music and if you don’t understand it you aren’t listening. As much as I don’t like her music, look how Nicki Minaj is being treated for just simply stating her opinion on the government pokey poke. She’s literally one of them and one with a MASSIVE following and even she can be ousted and lambasted for stepping out of line. Most popular artists have their songs written for them and if you can’t tell they’re ALWAYS about the same things. They’re all super rich and donate to (one) political party and all intermingle. Look at Alexandria Occasional Cortex at her hunger games party (met gala) intermingling with all those celebrities with her fking $30,000 dress that says “tax the rich” on it like what a fking joke. Hollywood’s the same way if not worse based on how women are basically sxually assaulted before they get roles. When you see an attractive woman in a big Hollywood role she either wanted to put out to be there or was forced to AT THE VERY LEAST take her clothes off to see what she looked like naked before she could even get a role. And they don’t care how old they are either. Remember that Netflix movie “Cuties” with the twerking 11 year old girls? Yeah 600+ underaged girls were auditioned for that movie. The entertainment industry is intertwined with the government man and most of it is actually quite vile.

@@Huddle_House56 You did not list any examples of music being on the side of "big tech" and "the government". And ghost writers have been used for decades. They specialize in writing catchy songs with relatable, palatable subject matter. As for pop stars donating to the democratic party, that's completely understandable. Most creative and artistic people throughout history have been more progressive and/or supportive of liberal policies. The Republican party is the bastion of social conservatism. Conservatives have ALWAYS been opposed to most innovative creative, artistic, and "radical" methods of self expression. Conservatives tried to kill rock and metal music because it was too "satanic" and would "rot the brains of our children". Conservatives have always tried to kill innovative art styles, from Fauvism to Cubism to Abstract-Expressionism to Conceptual art. It's the conservatives who would call young women "whores" back in the day for exposing their ankles. It's the conservatives who shame women who would rather focus on their careers instead of engaging in the "cult of domesticity". So, if you are a rich progressive artistic person, who would you rather donate to? The conservative Republican party which has historically tried to kill all forms of artistic and social progression? Or the Democratic party which is more liberal and accepting of progressive art-forms and social movements?

Electric Eye without The Hellion intro? Sacrilege!

Screaming for Vengeance and Painkiller one of my fav Judas Priest albums

My favorite Judas Priest album. Every song is awesome. From 1982

Please do screaming for vengeance off the same album, the whole album is pure gold

This album came out as the book by George Orwell 1984 was out about his bold predictions of the future. I remember seeing alot if commercial regarding this topic

Judas Priest another legend!! Seen in concert several times. Been a listener since the late 70's and definitely in the 80's!! One of the top rock bands metal rock

That whole album is amazing. It came out in the very early 80s when I was in college. We wore that album out. Thanks for sharing this wonderful song with us. 😎

One of the most iconic Priest songs ever. Priest forever! 🤘🔥🤘

One of JP’s biggest albums, Tipton is GOD!

Rob Halford was reading a lot of science fiction when this album was produced (As well as during it's predecessors British Steel and Hell Bent for Leather (Killing Machine in the UK)). He admits to his readings influencing his lyric writing. He also used a thesaurus while songwriting.

London put up surveillance cameras throughout the city where barely a yard is not covered. I bet if we look into when they did this, it would be around the time this song came out.

You guys nailed it! This song is incredibly prophetic. And rocks too. 😉

Bravo! From my favorite Judas Priest album! Which I still own and play on vinyl. All these eons later. WE LOVE YOU GLENN TIPTON! I live for the song "Devil's Child". Yep. That's me. Whoo!

IMO Rob Halford has the most powerful and dynamic voice in all of Metal!

I remember hearing this in 1982(I was 11). Holds up to this day! Electric eyes are EVERYWHERE! \m/

This was 1982, the online experience was just coming to the masses, but only techies really understood it, and most never even heard of it. The movie War games made a year later, is something to see. This is lyrically their best song

Yes early priest! 🤘😝🤘 ok guys..the ultimate priest song ever is from the late 70s. Beyond the realms of death. EPIC

RIGHT ON, You finally did Electric Eye. and Lex was making the face. LOL (also - Hellion is really part of the song and should have been included. Oh well, still a great vid.)

Love Glenn Tipton - What a Great Guitarist. He's different - his looks and playing. Just a Great Guitarist!

it was the 80's when I was awakened to the evils of the Gov, I was a head banger this was my type of music and yes I was a teen :)

I remember this song from the '80s. Cameras were just becoming a "thing" in our society. They were pretty random, but within a couple of years they were in most convenience stores and smaller places. Then it exploded..

Priest are legends. Few could touch them in the '80s.

She hits the cool hard hit I always like ( a little bridge section, 'there's nothing you can DO about it...') Her explanation of algorithm tracking us now is pretty deep - back then it was about a satellite only not in our actual phone that followed us around. very well explained!

a couple more great ones by Judas Priest would be "Desert Plains" "Riding on the wind" "You got another thing coming"

1982. I cannot even begin to guess how many copies of this cassette tape I wore out in my walkman back then listening to this.

Hey if you're into the more bluesy 70's style victim of changes or anything off of their sad wings of destiny album.

Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah, Priest are the gods of metal. Go ahead and dig deep. Their discography is amazing

"I feel like it's 1984 in a song." Lex, you are getting it! Metal Rules!

Nice, this is from 1982, this is the band that put metal into heavy metal.

This was the opening song for their concerts that tour. There is a good festival-type live video somewhere of it, Rob's voice comes in before he's on stage, then walks out, it's cool. I think he stopped drinking around that time as well. *MY memory anchor* : earlier the day of the concert in my city, I lost my virginity. I was high all afternoon from that.

Another great 80s metal band. We sure did rock out back then .

This came out in '82. I wore this album out playing it so much. It is my favorite Priest album...by far! And it is an awesome driving album...I played this over and over when I drove across country in the Fall of '82. You can play the whole album, or the popular songs some might suggest from it, but at least try: Devil's Child__Fever__Bloodstone__Pain and Pleasure__(Take These) Chains. ←Some will notice I suggested those many would never. First time I saw them Live was on my 21st B-Day at the US Festival '83 in San Berdoo. Was a really good concert with really good bands.

The book, 1984, was written in 1949. I always find it interesting how certain authors, often in the science fiction genre, correctly predict the future evils we will inflict upon ourselves with technology. Also, growing up in the 70's and 80's, my religious family thought music like Judas Priest & Iron Maiden was "evil" until I sat them down and read the lyrics to them. It's amazing how much of it is anti-gov / anti-war, anti-drug, or in the case of Maiden, ancient-history lessons.

The song is from 1983 when I was a little kid. It was the last decade of The Cold War where every developed nation spent the last 25 years spying and preparing for a seemingly imminent WW3. My parents were in the military and for their retired units 25-year reunion they sent out to the unit's members a postcard. The picture was a declassified photo of a dime on the runway of their base, and you could read the words and even see the scratches on the face of the dime. The photo was taken in 1959 from the edge of space by a now famous spy plane on the camera's final trials before being sent to space on their first spy satellite. No digital photo's back then, imagine what they can do now.

I feed upon your every thought and so my power grows........40 years ago and so prophetic

This is the best album for cardio workout. Close your eyes and let the energy carry you away!

Saw them in 1982 on this tour with Iron Maiden they opened with Hellion and electric eye!

"No matter who you vote for, you're going to get more electric eye!" - Brad Truer words are hard to find.

Lex isn't turning into a metalhead......she IS a metalhead !!!!

The album Screaming For Vengeance came out in 1982. Still rocks to this day.

Damn you guys missed out on The Hellion intro. That made the song.........

This came out in the late 70s. The first and Original Heavy Metal Band!!!,🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸

The technology they are referencing in this song absolutely existed in 1982 when this was released. My Great Uncle(Grandmothers Brother) was in the Secret Service for more than 20 years. I remember him telling me when I was a kid(around 1990) that the government had technologies that were 20-30 years ahead of their time. Things we would describe as science fiction. I remember he told me about flat screen TV's way back then about 20 years before they made the consumer market. The government gets to pick through the new patents and take whatever they want in the interest of 'national security'.

This song is more than actual today. All over cameras and electric spies......thank you Judas Priest. Btw Lex is a very clever young lady

100 percent correct about bands back in the day seeing things coming. Here's a short list of bands and songs that 100 percent called it years to decades before we got to where we are today. Megadeth - Washington is Next (I'm convinced Dave is a time traveler with that one) Nuclear Assault - When Freedom Dies Sepultura - Propaganda Xentrix - For Whose Advantage? Havok - I Am The State Hell, even Sum 41 - We're All To Blame That's just what I can think of off the top of my head but there are many more bands and songs that absolutely called it.

I do love how you react to the lyrics. As a pure musician, I myself let the music, lead me. I can’t care less what they say. The music is the real source. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

80's music is the best

One the top metal albums of all time....

"Probably very old." Ouch, that hurt. I saw this JP Screaming For Vengeance tour in Denver.

Great reaction & pick! Y'all are spot on. It's message was well before it's time. Plus, it jams like a Ball jelly jar. I remember rockin to this album with windows down, tunes up!

Beyond the Realms of Death by Judas Priest has 2 amazing solo's

I went to the Priest show in 82 and that is when this album was huge. Great show. Incredible band.

Great reaction! The US and some allies have had a electronic surveillance system for decades called Project Echelon that tracked every form of electronic communication, telephone, fax, financial transactions, all over the world. It started in the 60’s and grew from there. Edward Snowden released documents that included the branch of Project Echelon that deals with foreign satellites called FORNSAT! Priest is a deep rabbit hole! This album doesn’t have any bad songs, but their other albums in the 80’s Defenders of The Faith and Turbo Lover are also great albums. Turbo Lover came out about the time CD’s were becoming popular so the sound recording quality is much different.

Yeah, I believe that song came out in 1982..... 🤔 Really good band!!!!

When Brad said "electric ear", that was hilarious. I lost it, but spot on! 😅

This album came out while I was in HS, listening to this song while reading Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", the "dog" in the novel watches for people reading books and reports them. To me the "dog" is "electric eye". I even suggested that some of my HS students listen to this while reading the book, math teacher.

My favorite Priesr song. Thanks for discovering this

Definitely way better with Hellion as the intro

One change I would make. Im electric Electric Spy. Im Elected, Protected, DEFECTIVE, Electric Spy.

And that was the greatest metal band with one of the greatest singles ever🤘🙂

You really need to listen to the concept album "Operation Mindcrime" by Queensryche. Its a "who done it" with a twist. This Judas Priest album got me through the mid 80's. Whole thing is amazing. My parents prolly had it memorized while telling me to turn it down!
