there is enough metal in this song alone to build two aircraft carriers.

I've heard this song about a billion times and it still gives me goosebumps

Best metal song ever. Everything is in it.

This song, and this album, are absolutely the definition of heavy metal, IMO.

Pretty sure when Priest wrote this one, they were like, "You know how every song has an awesome part or two? LET'S MAKE A SONG OUT OF NOTHING BUT AWESOME PARTS!" And it was done.

Painkiller was Scott Travis's first album with Judas Priest and appropriately the first song "Painkiller" starts with a killer drum intro. How's that for saying "I'm here"?

Painkiller is classic because they're showing the f*** off! "We're Judas Priest, and we invented speed and power metal! Listen to how it's done, boys!" Metal Gods!

Media 1990: "Metal is dead" Priest: "Hold my beer..."

The perfection, the Metal God, the Judas Priest, the PAINKILLER

1 of the greatest metal songs ever, the mighty PRIEST 🤘🤘🇬🇧

Never. I repeat. Never listen to this while stuck in traffic!

Scariest song for a band to play...it’s nonstop aggression. Hits you in the face repeatedly....

Great SONG Great album Great guitar work Great vocals A solid fuckin 10 Love me some JUDAS PRIEST 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I once attempted to rearrange my living room to this song. I'm sure you can guess how that turned out.

The drum intro is not from this planet!!!🤘🤘🤘MR.SCOTT TRAVIS!!!

First time hearing this song... the voice throws you, but before the end of the song you've already acquired the taste for it, and want to hear it again. And again. And again and again and again. You can listen to Painkiller a million times and it's always fresh, always gives tingles down the spine with a dozen OMG moments. The whole song is just one giant flex. Each band member is running at maximum power with maximum technique. I shake my head in disbelief - how can anyone be this damn good... and how can you group so many legends into one place without the universe imploding... Painkiller is "the song to beat" when it comes to sheer glorious metal intensity.

I began listening to Judas Priest in 1977. They became my forever fave Metal band when I heard the live version of Exciter released on Unleashed in the East in 1979. It set the stage for the future of Metal for me! If you have the time please listen to this live version from Unleashed in the East, for me this is when Heavy Metal started!!! Back in the day it was said that Rob Halford had a the vocal range of an operatic singer.

Judas Priest are such metal legends. The guitar work here is out of this world. Love it.

"Where were you when you first heard Painkiller." Barracks 7, Bravo Company, Hargrave Military Academy and my ears are still bleeding.

I think all times best pure heavy metal what is ever made, total impressive stunning definitely masterpiece song, ohhhh, that very damn high register knife sharp voice!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the greatest metal song ever written

When I woke up this morning I saw that you guys had posted Painkiller and I was so excited but I decided I would save it for tonight. I waited all day for this and I LOVE IT!!!

The guitar work might be better than the vocals. And he managed to figured out how to do the vocals still. Or, why Rob Haliford is a rock God.

One of my 5 favorite Priest. Firing on all cylinders.

So happy you guys did this one, my favorite priest song along with... #painintheask - judas priest turbo lover

Priest played Painkiller last year on their tour, and it was AMAZING ! First of your videos I've watched. Thanks for sharing. "loves to win" makes sense

It by far wasn’t the first Metal I heard, but was the first CD I bought!!!! Sabbath still rules, but Halford is the voice of metal, the true Metal God

Thank you for this,it's one hell of a ride thank you again

You are my favorite reaction channel now. I like your choice of music and your commentary after the songs. Plus this stuff takes me back to my teens and 20's most of the time. Have fun at Tool. The drummer visited my workplace last year and it was awesome. Keep on rockin.

You guys react to songs almost as soon as I want to see you. I love your attitude!

When you listen close you can hear god talking to you.

YES! Been waiting for this one!

I love your reaction. Your explanation about win vs loose is so cool I never thing that about it. Gorgeous!

I love this reaction, Judas Priest has always been my number 1 metal band, Halfords voice got me from from the start. The most iconic perfect screams in Priest.

My neck hurts for trying not to headbang! It's basically unstoppable!

Painkiller is simply on top of the metallizer tower! This song is just awesome and I never get bored listening to it!!!

One of their best, try some of the tracks from their new album- Firepower

The Painkiller tour was my first time seeing Judas Priest live. Awesome show.

Never clicked so fast. Yea i know its a generic phrase but i legit mean it☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

dam i do so love you two. cant believe i caught this as early as i did saw it in my recomended had to watch

Faster than a laser bullet! Louder than a atom bomb! Chromium plated boiling metal! Bighter than a thousand Suns!!!!!!!

I think many viewers have been waiting since day one for this song. I feel like I've seen it requested in just about every video I've watched (& I'm guessing I've only done 3/4 as I'm just selectively watching now because otherwise I can't keep up).

This is THE SONG I've been waiting you to react to. This is prototype METAL, it doesn't get more Metal than this! Do Metal Meltdown or A Touch of Evil from the same album. The whole album is pure genious!

Great song ! Love your vids. Love you together ! Love your reations to the videos.

LOL all I could see in her face was: Processing.. processing.. processing.. does not compute.. processing.. processing hehehe Peace

I was in the LA riots dodging mobs in hollywood when I first heard Painkiller!!!! The dudes that found me saw me headbanging in an alley and just laughed and went on.

That's my band! It took me the second listen to really grasp it. The first time left me with my mouth on the ground.

"I am ready". No, you are not ready for the onslaught that is called Painkiller. Love the channel.

You have so much power in that song. I remember when I listened to it ,that day, when it came out and I,ll tell u, I couldn't wait to get it in my ," tape deck" in my truck to blast it and let the world hear it even if they didn't like it. That song, no doubt, if your dead, you will come to life.

Love your reactions! Glad to hear you are going to see Priest and Maiden - I will be seeing them both in Atlanta. Before the shows you should go eat at Rock N Roll Ribs in Coconut Creek. The place is owned by Maiden's drummer. Real good food and lots of Maiden memorabilia to see.

yeh This song is just badass & Tipton is ripping the strings off the guitar in full blazing pistoff fury taking all his anger out from the coart hearings & accusations.

Can't STOP the Painkilleeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damned !!!!!!! a really good request i say, right ? This is a great representative Heavy Metal Made In Judassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... Thx a lots Both.

The best example of a great metal song. Incredible in every way.

My opinion, all times best Judas priest song!

been watching daily since you came on. Kell loves the guitar. Thank you Rich for filtering the requests. I am planning on send some non mainstream music soon. need to talk with my brothers first. y'all would give them a rise....maybe

One of my fav tracks of many Judas Priest. Hits you like an axe through the skull

Please do the title track of their newest album Firepower(2018), the intro will leave you speechless!

Ooooooyaaaaaaaa, Painkiller is one of the best metal songs ever! The first time I heard it was during my birthday party when I got a very good headphone as a gift. I put it on, volume to 11 and when Rob yelled I pulled the headphone plug out of the hifi set....... Full blast on the speakers while both my grandfathers and mothers were present. Got a slap on the ears from dad (I was 11 or so) and that was the best present ever!

LMAO Rich... you make me feel so old. "I listened to my friends CD" hahaha. I listened to most of the "old stuff" when it first came out on eight track tape or a vinyl album.

She is so gorgeous!!

Kel looked shocked! The more you listen to Painkiller, the more you like it! This entire album is a metal masterpiece! Touch of Evil, All Guns Blazing and Between the Hammer and the Anvil (Reno Courtcase song) is great! Again, you guys need to listen to Freewheel Burning. Keep em coming!

Love it when Kel goes into full eye closed mode it shows she is soaking up every decibel like a decibel sponge. Great reaction to Priest riffage at its best. Did you know that riffage is 1 of your 5 a day. Keep it real 🤘🤘 #painintheask Kreator - Phobia (live if ppossible) Death - The Philosopher Pagans Mind - Supremacy, our kind Thanks again guys

Kel u got it right....levels of Epicness :)

That solo bring me to tears (in a good way) every bleeping time....

First time ill subscribe

I love this song robs vocals are killer

Great couple,example to us all! Thx,dan/uk

When this song comes on whilst I’m driving I am Moses and the traffic is the Red Sea.

6:10 always my fav part of this song just so badass on top of already badass, another great reaction from my favorite couple

Painkiller is absolutely an classic, Priests best in my opinion, Rich knows what's up lol and great choice So badass. cheers!

One of my all-time fave JP songs! Prior to this album Of the same name), I only liked a handful of songs from JP (from the 1982-1990 era). Painkiller finally prompted me to delve deeper into the entire catalog and I was NOT disappointed, except for how much time I lost where I could have enjoyed it all sooner. Better late than never. :-D

Does that kick some ass or what? Awesome!!

I could watch you react to Priest all day

Awesome reaction this song makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up pure metal

Monster track.. Great album. First heard around '93, bought from a small independent music store on holiday in Toronto in '95 **^^**

that song is just brutal. scott travis just destroys his kit on that track. kk and glenn are amazing. and rob..... good god. saw them in '91 when this dropped and it was somethin else. testament and megadeth opened for em and .... they slayed

Love this tune

This was the tour i saw them on. The show was on fire the whole night.

When it comes to a list of the 10 best speed metal albums of all time, you put Painkiller at #1, leave 2-10 blank, and then continue the list at 11. :D

great reaction to a great song, thnks :)

THE metal anthem. One of the greatest metal albums ever produced. A band that essentially started in the 60s kicking ass in the 90s and giving an all-around whooping. It's crazy how this song (and the whole album, actually) still holds up and passes the test of time. People listening to this for the first nearly 20 years after it came out are still blown away - as you just have demonstrated ;) There's a reason Priest are my 2nd favorite band of all time and Rob is my 2nd favorite vocalist of all time.

I remember going to grandma's house to watch the primer of the music video on headbangars ball on cable. it was like midnight on sunday. I was shocked by the drum solo start and was really in awe of how much faster everything seemed to be moving compared to what I was expecting from priest.

I just saw Judas Priest a few months ago Rob sounds great

That era around 1990 when Metal was in it's PRIME. And PAINKILLER is a testament to that.

Babymetal did a mashup of this and breaking the law with Rob Halford at some award show.....it was really good 😎👍

I feel like Kel is like there goes my eardrums.

Painkiller was a return to metal form for Judas Priest after the lighter, more commercial sound from Turbo and Ram it Down. This hit me right in the mouth when it came out. The undeniable statement was "the Priest is back!"

JUDAS PRIEST!!FROM MY STATE ARIZONA..🤘🖤🌵

One of my favorites from these Brits.

I've never been a fan of Judas Priest, I like a few of the classics, but I would nominate this is as the most metal song ever. Great tune.

#painintheask Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion

Love from Sweden guy and gall ;)

Pure metal!!! Omg. . This is the definition of metal.

How many guitar solos are still better? How manyyyyyyyy!!! God! Thank you so much for JP!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

"I am ready", oh, no you're not

My all time favorite Metal album!

I love watching Rich play Kel's goosebumps on her arm. For a song with a "you'll never take me alive" type of attitude, I suggest the Judas Priest song Blood Red Skies (it features that line in its lyrics).

Amazing song

I got sent home from school, for wearing a priest concert shirt. Lol. That was 4th grade, I think. Back then, this was just not acceptable. Haha. I would rock maiden and Nugent shirts, too.

Awesome album!!
