I'm right there with you, i was 13 when this came out and back then getting an album or cassette of your favorite band was hard! Mom n dad weren't shelling out ten bucks to get you everything you wanted! I rocked this album till the wheels came off!!
@Adam Vesely Yup. Cassettes were gold. I pretty much grew up on Defenders and Screaming for Vengeance, along with Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind from Maiden. My how times were simpler back then.
I moved to northern Michigan this summer. Its an awesome place. And it so relaxed here I have time to listen to the whole priest collection, unlike when I lived in Texas.

In the early 80s,I was around 14 and lived in my hometown in Costa Rica. I met a American metal head who played this song. I was blown away and felt in heaven. I became an J.P. fan since then. Thank God I have seen their shows in America. This song represents a landmark in my life. Thanks for sharing.
This was my first ever experience of Judas Priest. I bought a Metal compilation in WH Smith around 1986 and this track was a standout moment. Followed them ever since. 🤟
This Album was my very first Taste of Judas Priest. I heard this Song 2 weeks before the album hit the shelves, and when it dropped I was at the record store.
To you, probably because you are in your 50s and you got stuck in the best years of your life. Painkiller is the song and album that defines the highest point of Judas Priest's career for millions including me, it's the heaviest and most elaborate sound of the Rob Halford era and it's by far the most viewed track on RUclips.
@@lupussignatus8131 That's very subjective. I'm probably from your same generation and I also think like Javi, that Defenders is my fav album and Freewheel Burning is my fav JP song. Painkiller is my second fav album, but Painkiller is not my fav song from that album, it's probably Leather Rebel or One Shot At Glory.
Dont get me wrong Judas Priest in the 80z was a force. Some of those songs from British Steel to Defenders got me through HS. Painkiller is a pioneer album for sure that opened up new doors and a genre. But nothing and I mean nothing can touch the Sad Wings of Destiny and Stained Class stuff. Beyond the Realms and Victim of Changes especially. Its like there are three great versions of this band.
Bought this on 12 inch vinyl back in early '84 and the album a few weeks later. One of my favourite Priest albums, RH's vocals incredible on this track and guitar work as good as ever.
This really isn't true, but this is a great album. The Sentinel is one of the greatest songs of all time. Exciter's Heavy Metal Maniac, Savatage's Sirens, Manilla Road, Satan's Court in the Act, etc. Those all came out before this, and are decidedly heavy metal. Now, if you said Priest's early work, more specifically Stained Class, you'd be correct.
Such an underrated album. I remember seeing them in Dallas just after this album came out. Dokken opened up for them. Probably the best concert I have ever seen. Rob is the ultimate live performer. He and Bruce Dickinson are in a league of their own.
Yea they sound better live. Not many bands sound better live. Only a handful, priest, alice in chains are the only two off hand I can think of that blows there albums out of the water live.
@@MRSludgedude Maiden has always blown their studio versions out of the water. Although Bruce struggles more on super high notes, he gets pretty close. I saw them this year in Austin, absolute banger the whole way through.
One of my favorite JP songs, loved playing the rhythm guitar everytime I play it. I was very happy this was included as a track for racing in Gran Turismo 4 along with Turbo Lover in Gran Turismo 3
Look before you leap has never been the way we keep our road is free ! free! free! Charging to the top and never give in never stop's the way to be be be! Hold on to the lead with all your will and though concede and then you'll find there's life with victory on high!!!!!!!
This album kicks ass this is my favorite Judas priest album of all time I remember I was listening to this back in junior high and I was driving the coaches during PE Time out of their f****** minds I love it
I was in highschool when this came out... falling asleep with the cassette tape playing on a Sony Walkman...of course borrowing it from my older brother 😊 so good
This is the only thing which will get me to watch another Fast & Furious movie..... Judas Priest better not give out this song to Universal Studios then...
I Have Your Whole Album CDs , Some Merch & Hat Too.Worth Buying. 80s & 90s Were The Best Golden Years Of All Time. Today's Songs Are Pure Garbage. It Would Never Be Matched.
I experienced year 1985, I was lose brake in the highest Mountain of Abha Saudi Arabia. My Car accelerating in Freewheel burning. Speed same as Airplane. I'm thinking I can't walk back my feet in the ground. I am just praying for forgiveness of my Sins in the Salvation. As one of Followers of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ Emerged Infront of my Car and taught me how to drive my Car to Save me. That's why until now I'm here Sharing a good New's in Social media. There's nothing Impossible with God. Amen.
Power Heavy Metal puro!!! Temazo, escuchándolo en este invierno 2022 acá en Chile! Y pensar k jugué el video juego del video, cuando comprábamos fichas, k tiempos nostalgicos
I was 12 when this video and Bark at the Moon came out on MTV,I had never heard or seen anything like it before,I became and instant metalhead,my 13th birthday was coming up and my grandma took me to Target and bought me my first 2 metal records.
okey guys My favorite song and band antology and disc complete edition in years 1984 congratulations guys and Mr Rob Halford heavy metal good forever tanks you very much okey bye
I was 14. I had one cassette. One cover. For an entire winter, in the north tundra of Michigan. I know every lyric, and every riff.
I was 14 when i listened this álbum too and is the best álbum i listened every life

@@Gojam12 Lets see how you feel after your first winter. Bone crushing cold.
Man, Defenders of the Faith is one of my favorites of all time. Perfect album. Every song is incredible.
Totally
You got to be kidding. I grew up with a guy named "Mike Vest" who says the same thing. Parellel Priest universes?
Agreed! Its the most fueled up metal album ever!!!
Its my number one favorite album
This and painkiller are perfect to me. No boring songs.
My favorite Judas Priest song. They’re the band that got me into metal in the first place.
This song is the definition of heavy metal.
2:33 love this part of this tune.....and Gran Turismo 4! This track went awesome with that racing game. Long live them memories as a kid.
Agreed. But, was not a kid! 😀
Wow! Same me ! I fell in love with this song because of this part
2:32 Gives me goosebumps every time. Love this song.
Same!!! Who couldn’t get shivers from that?
The perfect album-opening song. It just comes out and punches you in the mouth! 🤘🏾
Listened to this album hundreds of times asa kid
This album just comes in and says "hello" by throwing a brick to your forehead. The same goes for Painkiller
Like a metal kick right in the teeth!!!🤘🏻
@@TWANDTWYessss sir!
I can see Panteras Power Metal written all over it 😅
She's a fucking jawbreaker.!!🤘🤘🤘
Judas Priest is the only band that never lets you down.
Case closed.
"Born to Lead, At Breakneck Speed, With High Octane & Spitting Flames!" Gets me fired up every time!
Fast and furious we ride the universe
To carve a road for us that slices every curve in sight
We accelerate, no time to hesitate
This load will detonate whoever would contend its right
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
On we catapult, we're thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault, go headlong into any dare
We don't accept defeat, we never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat, obliterations everywhere
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Look before you leap has never been the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top and never give in
Never stops the Way to be
Hold on to the lead with all your will and concede
You'll find there's life with victory on high
Look before you leap has never been the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top and never give in
Never stops the Way to be
Hold on to the lead with all your will and concede
You'll find there's life with victory
With victory on high
Freewheel burning [x8]
These lyrics are just Straight METAL 🤘🏽🤘🏽

I have been to your country. Nice place and hopefully the protectors of the nature. Metal seems so remote but I hope you like. En Espanol, no se.

Priest were the biz, for me this is the purest heavy metal there is.
This was the birth of speed metal. Judas Priest rules!
Exciter - 6 years earlier. Rapid fire - 4 years earlier. Screaming for vengeance - 2 years earlier. This is just the next step out of many...
And we can't leave out _Dissident Aggressor..._ Simon Phillips' drums were absolutely brutal on that one.
