The best part of your reaction is when you restarted the song and said you weren't ready. Noone's ready for Painkiller the first time. Keep up the great reactions. Stay Happy and Healthy
RUclips reactors do that to avoid making money on someone else’s intellectual property. They have to pause and interrupt or else they’re just making money on someone’s unadulterated ideas, which is illegal, as it should be.
That glenn tipton with the long solo and kk downing with the last short shred solo..both badass but have there own style. Best guitar duo in history of rock music
@@MultiVillaMaravilla They were technically great but I honestly didn't like hearing their stuff for more than 10 minutes. Even with some of their absolute masterpieces
Rob Halford is the best metal vocalist of all time. His vocal range is absolutely amazing. He can go from bass to soprano in half a second. He's still rocking out at 72 years old. Nobody.... NOBODY, can compare to him. He , is the, METAL GOD!!!
I love reactions to this song. If your face doesn't melt from the drum into ,it will from his voice. Like others have said they have many hits going back to the 70's.
My dad raised me on Judas Priest. I was 9 when I heard Painkiller on MTV Headbanger's Ball. Sometimes I think people should start with an easier Priest song (I think a few might exist), but then again might as well jump straight into it! Priest is that group you want to get into listening to. My favorite from them is "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll". Judas Priest are, as they say in one of their songs, METAL GODS! You will never be the same after their catalog.
Honestly, Turbo Lover, Electric Eye, and You've Got Another Thing Coming are probably good entry points for Priest if you think someone can't handle Painkiller right off the bat.
Pure distilled heavy metal right here. This came out in 1990. Judas Priest had already been rocking since the 70s and this song was a statement that their best music was not behind them. And yes; when I first heard this, I was absolutely shell shocked
This was my first Judas Priest song born in the 90's. Just picked the CD from my dad's shelf and that thought "oh that's a cool bike this knight has in the cover". That turned into confusion and indescribable awe in my 7 year old brains in less than 10 seconds. 20+ years later and the whole Painkiller album is still in daily play.
These Metal GODS have been going strong since 1968 and still playing in 2024... you should check out Between the Hammer & the Anvil and You've Got Another Thing Coming.
He has also been nicknamed "Metal God" by fans. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Judas Priest in 2022, via the Award for Musical Excellence.
First time I heard anything by Judas Priest was this song in a Madden game. Been a fan ever since! This is one of those songs where you get grabbed from the beginning and when it's over it's almost a feeling of relief if you can see what I'm saying. It's like I can breathe again. Lol
Judas Priest was the single loudest concert I've ever attended. I mean we couldn't even speak to each other in the car on the way home. My ears were still ringing for like 3 days after. It was a really good show though. Probably their biggest mainstream hit (the 1 that got the most radio play) was "You've Got Another Thing Comin'". It's a little more 'chill' (by heavy metal standards) than "Painkiller".
Yes, this was early Judas Priest and this is a banger ! Always enjoy your reactions Staxx! Don’t know if you remember I am the one who kept asking you to do battery from Metallica from the 89 Seattle concert and you did that and I appreciate it now I would really like if you would do a reaction to Eddie Van Halen‘s eruption guitar solo from the 1986 live without Annette concert You will be pleasantly surprised and in aww of Eddie! Please and thanks have a great day brother!
NOT early Judas Priest this is Title track from their 12th studio release in 1990. Their first album was 1974. This is A LOT heavier than anything they did before this. Lead singer is now 72 and they still tour, last studio album was in 2016, their 19th.
Judas Priest in the 1970's were the first band to embrace the term 'heavy metal' for their music (Most bands did not like that term) ... They set the standards for metal music in the 70's and were ready to conquer the world by 1980 when their 6th album 'British Steel' finally went gold (half million copies) in the US... They had the dual lead guitar attack of Glenn Tipton (1st solo on 'Painkiller') and K.K. Downing (ending guitar solo) ... the piercing high vocals of Rob Halford... Bassist Ian Hill rounded out the band. Some more Priest songs to check out - 'Breaking the law'... "You've got another thing coming'... 'The Hellion/ Electric Eye'... 'Turbo lover' ... 'Freewheel burning' ... 'Living after midnight' ... 'Ram it down' ... 'Beyond the realms of death'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥 Priest's drummer since 1990 is Scott Travis (who played 'Painkiller') ...(the late) Dave Holland played drums from 1980 to 1989... Les Binks (drums) was in the band from 1977 to1979 and did their iconic live album in '79 - 'Unleashed in the East'. Besides the music Judas Priest delivered... they also had a huge impact on the image of metal bands. Singer Rob Halford is gay and wanted to express himself onstage... So, Halford visited an S&M shop in 1978 and started dressing in black leather outfits w/ metal studs... The other members of Priest loved the image and started dressing like him. Halford also started bringing a bullwhip onstage and would end Priest's concerts by riding a Harley motorbike onstage... In the 80's, most heavy metal bands copied Judas Priest's leather-and-studs image... Musically, Judas Priest made a huge impact and inspired metal bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Sepultura, Pantera, Exodus, Metal Church, etc. Initially, Judas Priest was formed as a local rock band in Birmingham, England when K.K. Downing (guitar) and Ian Hill (bass) joined w/ Al Atkins (vocals) in 1971... Atkins left the band in 1973 and another local singer Rob Halford joined on vocals (his sister Sue Halford was dating bassist Ian Hill at the time)... Priest was signed in 1974 to a small UK label Gull Records and opted to add a second guitarist... Glenn Tipton (guitar) was asked to join in '74 and he was impressed w/ Judas Priest's potential... Tipton eventually became the band leader and key composer w/ K.K. Downing... However, their first 2 albums ('Rocka Rolla' in 1974 and 'Sad wings of destiny' in 1976) failed commercially... Priest had a more traditional 70's sound and image at the time. They were on the verge of breaking up by 1977 when an American label CBS Records offered them a contract and brought Judas Priest to tour the USA for the first time. Priest released a string of albums and toured constantly in Europe and N. America... they played Japan for the first time in 1979 and recorded a live album there -'Unleashed in the East'... In 1980, their big break came when their 6th album 'British Steel' went gold... w/ major hit singles - 'Breaking the law'... and 'Living after midnight'... Their 8th album in 1982 'Screaming for vengeance' sold platinum (1 million copies) in the US, making Judas Priest the biggest heavy metal band in the world for a brief while as they toured arenas worldwide and their 80's records were increasingly more aggressive than their early records. In 1989, Judas Priest were sued for allegedly inspiring a grisly double-s++cide in Nevada... the parents of 2 boys blamed Priest alleging that their 1978 cover song 'Better by you, better than me' had a subliminal message ('Do it') which caused the tragedy... In their 1990 trial, Judas Priest were able to prove that they never put that alleged 'command' in the song; that perception was purely accidental and were exonerated. Judas Priest released their angriest album 'Painkiller' in 1990 and toured into 1991. Unfortunately, vocalist Rob Halford announced in 1992 that he was leaving Judas Priest for a solo career... In 1997, Judas Priest returned w/ new vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens but the 2 albums recorded w/ him ('Jugulator' in 1997 and 'Demolition' in 2001) sold poorly... Rob Halford's solo career also failed commercially w/ his bands - Fight (1992 to 1995)... 2wo (1996 to 1998) and Halford (1999 to 2003) In 2004, Judas Priest reunited w/ Rob Halford on vocals and released their comeback album 'Angel of retribution' in 2005... But after their 2008 album 'Nostradamus'... founding guitarist K.K. Downing left Judas Priest in 2010 citing a rift w/ guitarist Glenn Tipton. In 2019, K.K. Downing formed the band K.K.'s Priest w/ vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens and has released 2 albums since. Richie Faulkner (guitar) replaced K.K. Downing in 2011 and made his debut on the 2014 album 'Redeemer of Souls'... followed by 'Firepower' in 2018... Glenn Tipton (guitar) announced in 2018 that he was retiring from touring due to his battle w/ Parkinson's disease; their producer Andy Sneap became their touring guitarist w/ Tipton still active in the studio. Judas Priest's latest album 'Invincible shield' was released in 2024.
Their Live stuff is where its at, IMO, they ARE the Kings of Metal. "Victim of Changes", "Diamonds & Rust" and "Green Manalishi" are IMO their Best Live Hits! Rob Halford Is the Ultimate Metal voice IMO! Kansas City Exploded both times I seem them Live...Stax, they are on Tour Right Now. 50 Years of PRIEST! The early Guitarists are Glen Tipton and KK Downing!
What a hell of a song choice brother, judas priest is one of the all time greats hands down man. Incredible talent, and they are called the metal gods for a reason lol. Keep the metal bangers coming bro, awsome reaction.🤘🤘🤘🤘 react to some more judas priest, you will not be disappointed
Love this reaction good shit dude I could name at least 50 hours so straight up bangers in metal and rock that you can react to that's a rough estimation but I'm pretty confident
When this came out, it was shocking. I grew up with all of the '80 Judas Priest, heavy, but this was a different level. It was in response to the court case, they were being sued over lyrics in a song "Better by You, Better than Me", from their Stained Class album, JP won, but they were pissed of, inspiring IMHO, the greatest flaming metal song, for sheer power. This cassette, on my Sony Sports Walkman, helped me get through Desert Storm
They are seasoned. Been going since the 70s. One of the pioneers of metal. Glen Tipton was the guitarist. Other great tracks are: You've got another thing coming Hellion/Electric Eye The Sentinel Hell bent for leather Green Manalishi. Delivering the Goods The Ripper Some heads are gonna roll The sinner Victom of changes Living after midnight Bloodstone Grinder Love bites
You should go back and get out some of their older stuff like "The Sinner" (Live Vengeance 82 version) and then one of their brand new (2024) tunes like "The Serpent and the King". These guys are legends!
Laf this reaction just suddenly reminded me of one of my friends from summer camp back around the time this song came out-a Black girl who was teased mercilessly by the other Black kids at camp because she didn’t like hip hop or rap, and wore metal t-shirts instead! She was awesome; wish we could have kept in touch, but we lived too far apart, especially back in the day when long distance phone calls were expensive!
I've been into this band since like I say the 1970s I have seen them live three times 1983 and 1984 1990 during painkillers screaming for vengeance 1983 defenders of the faith 1984 1990 painkillers
It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what you do, your sex, race, creed, national origin ....EVERYONE has the same reaction the first time they hear PAINKILLER
My friends band opened as a local act for Judas Priest and Deep Purple in (I think) 2018. I got to go to the show. These guys are old A.F. these days and still as bad ass as ever. To be a Judas Priest fan you must now hear "Breaking The Law". I'm hoping to see them thisfall with Sabaton another amazing metal band you should check out.
If you want to hear a stunning guitar solo that fuses melody and furious speed then try out Rock Bottom (live) by UFO from the album "Strangers in the Night". This album has been deemed by many as the greatest live rock album partly I would argue because it has so many cleverly melodic tracks e.g. "Back on the Street", "I'm a Loser" and especially "Love to Love".
My favorite band and imo the best metal band of all time. Can't wait for more Priest reactions! They've been around since 1969 and they just released a new (19th) album in March and its incredible! My suggestions for next reactions: (FASTER STUFF): -Freewheel Burning -Screaming for Vengeance (live 1983) -Ram it Down -Invincible Shield (from this year's album) (BALLADS): -Blood Red Skies (Live from Epitaph) - its also my favorite song by them -Victim of Changes (Live from Seminole) -A Touch of Evil (from the same Painkiller album - live or studio) -Beyond the Realms of Death (live) Also some hits: Breaking the Law, You've Got Another Thing Comin, Living After Midnight... Enjoy!!
I received a phone call from a friend that bought this, the day it was released in South Africa ,I realized immediately, we've opened a portal to something 😂
…..had the Privilege to see Judas Priest 3 time in my life….. British Steel tour (1980) Screaming For Vengeance tour (1982) & Defenders Of The Faith tour (1984) they are my favorite band of the 80’s ! ❤️🎸🔥 besides Metallica, which I seen 4 times in the 80’s ❤️🎸🔥 Lightning, Puppets (2) & Justice tours. Sad to think that the average price for all these tickets….. $8.50 - $15 for good seats 🫤
Breaking the Law, Heading out the Highway, Delivering the Goods..just some classic Priest tracks for you to check out bro! They go hard though I’m just gonna warn you!!
Great reaction, been waiting for this one! Don't get me wrong, Priest has plenty killer tracks, but 'Painkiller' is the one that will blow you away. That's the nature of the reaction channel, I suppose - you sometimes get the best track first. I'm still recommending you check out black metal - not particularly because I think you'll like it, or it'll get a lot of views lol: but because it's a special direction that metal went, and I think it's valuable for people to hear it. It's my favourite genre anyway. Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, and that's just for an intro. Bless Stax! Stay well brother
Great reaction my boi!! U have just opened a large rabbit whole for yourself. Judas Priest just released a new album not long ago also If ya like pinch harmonics (guitar squeals) check out Pantera- Avoid the light. Lots of em in there

The best part of your reaction is when you restarted the song and said you weren't ready. Noone's ready for Painkiller the first time. Keep up the great reactions. Stay Happy and Healthy
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed
It's like that jump in Matrix - nobody makes it the first time. It's ok.

NOOObody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
The most metal song to ever have metalled.
That glenn tipton with the long solo and kk downing with the last short shred solo..both badass but have there own style. Best guitar duo in history of rock music
🙏🙏🔥🔥
I love kks solo, it sounds like kk is bad touching his guitar
@@TrollamollexI do too, it's short but packs a lot of fucking intensity
Best guitar duo was Jason Becker with Marty Friedman with there band - Cacophony
@@MultiVillaMaravilla They were technically great but I honestly didn't like hearing their stuff for more than 10 minutes. Even with some of their absolute masterpieces
Painkiller? You sure you're ready for this one? This song is one of the best songs ever written.
Welcome to the metal family!
WE HEREEE
As a 51 yr old Metalhead it makes my heart happy to see young folks headbangin to a classic. All respect
Nobody is ever ready for Painkiller. 😂
Master piece of heavy metal
Greatest metal song ever created right here. And everyone has the same reaction you did when the drums hit a the beginning. Complete shock.
Rob Halford is the best metal vocalist of all time. His vocal range is absolutely amazing. He can go from bass to soprano in half a second. He's still rocking out at 72 years old. Nobody.... NOBODY, can compare to him. He , is the, METAL GOD!!!
Rob Halford is an excellent singer but Ronnie James Dio is better. Significantly.
I love reactions to this song.
If your face doesn't melt from the drum into ,it will from his voice.
Like others have said they have many hits going back to the 70's.
🙏🙏🔥🔥

Honestly, Turbo Lover, Electric Eye, and You've Got Another Thing Coming are probably good entry points for Priest if you think someone can't handle Painkiller right off the bat.

Pure Metal.
When Metal was still Great.
❤❤❤
The Ultimate Metal Song, forever🤘
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
It is
I was 20 in 1990 and went to this concert.it was SICK!!!
The guitar solo is still probably my top 3 metal guitar solos ever played.
JUDAS FREAKING PRIEST 🤘🤘🤘🤘
These Metal GODS have been going strong since 1968 and still playing in 2024... you should check out Between the Hammer & the Anvil and You've Got Another Thing Coming.
🙏🙏🔥🔥🤘🏽
I heard this album when it was released in '91
This was their heaviest era
Their 70 -80's songs are awesome as well 🤟
Love Judas Priest ❤
Another head banger is "You Got Another Thing Coming"🎶🎵🎶🎵🎸
Thank You for sharing Stax, fantastic reaction ☮️
My pleasure!!
I remember when this came out. Still holds up today too. Concert was freaking amazing. All of them were on point for this album.
Speed metal came out right before this song. Rob Halford said 'Hold my beer" and Pain Killer was born.
Bro this song is pure DESTRUCTION
FACTSSS
@@StaxReacts they're considered one of the pioneers of heavy metal. Awesome reaction bro
No. The Metal Gods is what Priest is. @@sergioleon2078

This was in no way early Judas Priest!
@@zacbreeden1966 If 12th album is 'early' I want to know what bands @user-eg2zo4kz6w listens to?
this one is very hard to beat...even for Judas Priest...dual lead guitarists... Glenn Tipton and K. K. Downing...
🙏🔥🔥🔥
🔥Saw this tour back in 1990 in San Diego. I was actually there for Megadeth but instantly became a fan after seeing JP live. Great reaction man! 🩸🗝😎

Every song on this album is 🔥
This was the first concert I ever went to. Their 90s comeback it was so awesome
Judas Priest is a world, each album is different, it has something for everyone 🤘🏻
🙏🙏🙏
I know you feel that. 💚 I'm glad you were The first of my reaction content creators to react to this song. 💪
Not their typical sound. Their hits are much better, for someone new to this band; some not so new, as well. Thanks, Stax.
🙏🙏🙏
I just now got on here to see what song you've done today and I can't believe this is the song! Awesome song and album! Nice job!
Thanks Mike!!!
Their Live stuff is where its at, IMO, they ARE the Kings of Metal. "Victim of Changes", "Diamonds & Rust" and "Green Manalishi" are IMO their Best Live Hits! Rob Halford Is the Ultimate Metal voice IMO! Kansas City Exploded both times I seem them Live...Stax, they are on Tour Right Now. 50 Years of PRIEST! The early Guitarists are Glen Tipton and KK Downing!
🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
My very first live show was Megadeth/Judas Priest in '91. Got to hear Holy Wars and Painkiller in the same night
A great reaction to an amazing band.
@9:00 Your answer sir is legendary greatness.
This song belongs in the top three for the perfect heavy metal song.
What a hell of a song choice brother, judas priest is one of the all time greats hands down man. Incredible talent, and they are called the metal gods for a reason lol. Keep the metal bangers coming bro, awsome reaction.🤘🤘🤘🤘 react to some more judas priest, you will not be disappointed
For sure brother 🙏
Love this reaction good shit dude I could name at least 50 hours so straight up bangers in metal and rock that you can react to that's a rough estimation but I'm pretty confident
In the dictionary when you read the definition of Metal it says, “Please see Judas Priest… Painkiller.”
Busta Rhymes said "break ya neck". He literally meant it for you to break it to this.
When this came out, it was shocking. I grew up with all of the '80 Judas Priest, heavy, but this was a different level. It was in response to the court case, they were being sued over lyrics in a song "Better by You, Better than Me", from their Stained Class album, JP won, but they were pissed of, inspiring IMHO, the greatest flaming metal song, for sheer power.

This reaction was GREAT!
I was introduced to Judas Priest in 1983, and I've never been the same since. 😂
Thank you so much
@StaxReacts And thank you for the stroll down Memory Lane. 😉
That's how metal is done!!!
YESSSS
Judas Priest has been around since the early 70's and still rocken in 2024
They are seasoned. Been going since the 70s. One of the pioneers of metal. Glen Tipton was the guitarist. Other great tracks are:
You've got another thing coming
Hellion/Electric Eye
The Sentinel
Hell bent for leather
Green Manalishi.
Delivering the Goods
The Ripper
Some heads are gonna roll
The sinner
Victom of changes
Living after midnight
Bloodstone
Grinder
Love bites
It's so funny there are so many great songs you did not list. PRIEST!!!!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaymn! That sh!+ was lit! Banger!!

Laf this reaction just suddenly reminded me of one of my friends from summer camp back around the time this song came out-a Black girl who was teased mercilessly by the other Black kids at camp because she didn’t like hip hop or rap, and wore metal t-shirts instead! She was awesome; wish we could have kept in touch, but we lived too far apart, especially back in the day when long distance phone calls were expensive!
Glad to bring the memories back 🙏
Love it glad you liked it.
Thanks again!
this song brings me back to jr high lmao...good good times .....
I've been into this band since like I say the 1970s I have seen them live three times 1983 and 1984 1990 during painkillers screaming for vengeance 1983 defenders of the faith 1984 1990 painkillers
Thats Glen Tipton on that lead.
🙏🙏🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what you do, your sex, race, creed, national origin ....EVERYONE has the same reaction the first time they hear PAINKILLER
You gotta react to the whole Pain Killer album, my friend. Every song is unbelievably great.
one of the best solos ever done
🙏🔥🤘🏽
My friends band opened as a local act for Judas Priest and Deep Purple in (I think) 2018. I got to go to the show. These guys are old A.F. these days and still as bad ass as ever. To be a Judas Priest fan you must now hear "Breaking The Law". I'm hoping to see them thisfall with Sabaton another amazing metal band you should check out.
4:43 Glen Tipton and Kenneth Downing. They usually alternate between the solos.
Awesome
Glenn Tipton! Guyisa MASTER!
These guys are rock royalty 👍
🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you want to hear a stunning guitar solo that fuses melody and furious speed then try out Rock Bottom (live) by UFO from the album "Strangers in the Night". This album has been deemed by many as the greatest live rock album partly I would argue because it has so many cleverly melodic tracks e.g. "Back on the Street", "I'm a Loser" and especially "Love to Love".
They're on tour. I'm going in the fall. They're live shows are a must see
I’m about to search them up to see if they’ll be coming near me
Yeah, you want this on your workout playlist!!!🔥🔥🔥🎸
Rock on!
I know this will be a good reaction 😂😂buckle up😂
and rob yells thank you drops the mic and walks off ! lol
My favorite band and imo the best metal band of all time. Can't wait for more Priest reactions! They've been around since 1969 and they just released a new (19th) album in March and its incredible!
My suggestions for next reactions:
(FASTER STUFF):
-Freewheel Burning
-Screaming for Vengeance (live 1983)
-Ram it Down
-Invincible Shield (from this year's album)
(BALLADS):
-Blood Red Skies (Live from Epitaph) - its also my favorite song by them
-Victim of Changes (Live from Seminole)
-A Touch of Evil (from the same Painkiller album - live or studio)
-Beyond the Realms of Death (live)
Also some hits: Breaking the Law, You've Got Another Thing Comin, Living After Midnight...
Enjoy!!
🙏🙏🙏
2:30 The British invasion of heavy metal. That's what the fuck is going on!
I received a phone call from a friend that bought this, the day it was released in South Africa ,I realized immediately, we've opened a portal to something 😂
Think about the fact they started in 1969 and are still touring today and just recently put out a new album
Every time I hear that song I need a nap after.
…..had the Privilege to see Judas Priest 3 time in my life….. British Steel tour (1980) Screaming For Vengeance tour (1982) & Defenders Of The Faith tour (1984) they are my favorite band of the 80’s ! ❤️🎸🔥 besides Metallica, which I seen 4 times in the 80’s ❤️🎸🔥 Lightning, Puppets (2) & Justice tours. Sad to think that the average price for all these tickets….. $8.50 - $15 for good seats 🫤
Breaking the Law, Heading out the Highway, Delivering the Goods..just some classic Priest tracks for you to check out bro! They go hard though I’m just gonna warn you!!
I'll check it out
Judas Priest ain't playin, that was awesome STAX!!!!!!!!
Rob Halford has one of the best voices in rock/metal. Check out their earlier work, especially Victim of Changes.
Welcome to "Mind-Meltage Extreme"!😎❤🎶🤙
Great reaction, been waiting for this one! Don't get me wrong, Priest has plenty killer tracks, but 'Painkiller' is the one that will blow you away. That's the nature of the reaction channel, I suppose - you sometimes get the best track first. I'm still recommending you check out black metal - not particularly because I think you'll like it, or it'll get a lot of views lol: but because it's a special direction that metal went, and I think it's valuable for people to hear it. It's my favourite genre anyway. Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, and that's just for an intro. Bless Stax! Stay well brother
🙏🙏🙏
Glen Tipton. god of heavy metal guitar! 43 at the time.
BEST DRUM INTRO, EVER (Scott Travis) BEST GUITAR SOLO, EVER (Glenn Tipton) BEST VOCALIST, EVER (Rob Halford)
You are so cool to get involved so much in this track! Guitarists,are Glenn Tipton and KK Downing1
🔥🔥🔥🔥
They said Priest was old and done. Priest said here is Painkiller. The whole Painkiller album is fire!!!!
Great reaction my boi!! U have just opened a large rabbit whole for yourself. Judas Priest just released a new album not long ago also
If ya like pinch harmonics (guitar squeals) check out Pantera- Avoid the light. Lots of em in there
I'll check it out
Welcome to the realm of the METAL GODZ
Do Touch of Evil next from the same album as this song. My favorite song on that album and in my Top 5 all-time for Judas Priest.
Betttt
This the definition of heavy metal
@@erwinvolont2816 🔥🔥🔥
