We can FEEL the disappointment from the video released earlier lol. We gotcha Metal fans! Second time’s a charm? Let us know!

Unwritten rule in metal: Never pause a song during a solo

I wish more people were as open minded as you guys.

"Sounds like the Wicked Witch of the West on some Raw Shit" is by far my all time favourite description of Rob Halford's style haha

One of the greatest pure metal songs ever composed. Mr. Rob Harford have inspired millions of metal singers after Judas Priest came into scene. Even huge band like Iron Maiden felt nervous when they had a show opening for Judas Priest in late 70s. As told by Steve Harris.

Arguably, this song might have the best entrance solo in metal music history.

Painkiller is all killer, no filler. Hands down one of the greatest metal albums ever made.

fair one lads , i thought i was coming here to here a piss take of my beloved genre. yet your analysis showed knowledge and a clear love of music that it makes me want to go respect your genre. great video.

This song just blows my brains out. It's so freaking epic, so loud, so aggressive. Judas Priest is just one of the best.

Halford is an unreal vocalist. He’s a legend.

I'd be willing to bet that Rob Halford would take being called the satanic version of the Wicked Witch of the West as a compliment

This single song forces all the instruments to be pushed to the limits of their ability.

The drumming is what is central to metal imo. If you are unsure if a song is metal or rock, look to the drums.

Rob Halford is the Metal Witch of the North

Dudes don’t apologize. You may not be using metal jargon, but your comments are spot on. This is definitely one of the best metal songs of all time from one of the originators of the genre.

You are metal fans too. Your reactions to the songs aren't any different than ours. Shred.

That guitar work was pretty mind-numblingly brilliant...

"They gettin' busy!" -Lost in Vegas

Rob Halford, considered one of the greatest voices of all time.

Judas vocalist Rob Halford was the BEST metal vocalist of all time for me. He is a Metal God :) Dope reaction gentlemen!

Rob Halford started out in the London Opera. He's a "real" singer and not just someone who can scream lyrics like some metal singers.

Hangar 18 by megadeth. It has like 10 guitar solos and dope time changes you won't be disappointed.

So you know Rob halford is one of the greatest vocalist ever...

"There's greatness in different." Just jumped out at me. Great quote.

"that's exhausting if you playing it" (Has Rock Band 2 flashback)

Rob Halford is the Metal God and Priest is the definition of Metal. Thank you for a honest review. One of the best metal songs ever!! Yes, EPIC!! \m/

NO WAY DUDE! THIS WAS UPLOADED WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF PAINKILLER!!!!! ITS GODS WILL!!!

This is one of the best, and as a drummer, this song is huge physical endurance piece as well... it is like doing a marathon with wind sprints mixed in at the same time.

HUGE mistake pausing in the middle of one of the best guitar solos ever performed!

You guys just witnessed, one of the BEST Heavy Metal vocalists in the HISTORY of heavy metal! Sir Rob Halford. A true legend in the Metal community. A powerhouse, a METAL GOD. I'm extremely impressed with your guys's use of terminology while describing your true feelings of this legendary song. YOU GUYS JUST EARNED A SUBSCRIBER. I love when people outside of the metal community are learning and ENJOYING our amazing music. With positivity and an open mind. Keep on doing what you are doing. Keep on rockin! I would love to see something reviewed of IRON MAIDEN. The Number of the Beast, Aces High, or The Trooper.

You know Rob Halford is called The Metal God.

now you know why Halford is THE METAL GOD!

Downing and Tipton... Their twin guitar attack is second to none in my opinion. These guys influenced the Big 4 of thrash metal in the 80's.

You guys are such a fresh air for KZfaq. Bravo. I LOVE your open minded commentary. I'm a white metalhead. I hope you can introduce me to some hip-hop that I am sorely lacking in.

This came out 20 years after priest formed. They got harder as they got older, and god bless Glen Tipton priests legend guitarist who just found out he has Parkinsons disease last week and canceled the tour.

Love the way KK and Tipton tag team different leads. Very unique to both gives more to us

You guys are fun to watch. Thanks for enjoying the music I’ve enjoyed for 30 plus years

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

My dad always told me that "an open mind is a free mind". Y'alls minds are free as Hell. Thanks for the vids and love for the Metal community.

Love you guys. I'm a metalhead for 37 years now. But what you are doing is connecting people in a world of hate. Thank you so much.

Earlier Judas Priest is a bit different.. In my opinion Their second album from 1976 "Sad wings of destiny" the entire album is a masterpiece .

"Satanic wicked witch of the west" is easily the the greatest description of Rob Halford I've ever heard in my life

I love how articulate you guys are. You really know what you are talking about, without knowing what you are talking about. Respect! Best reaction channel by far!

Ryan & George~after watching several dozen of your reactions, I am IMPRESSED with how far you’ve come. You’re stellar students of music & the history of their varying eras!

Judas Priest, the greatest Heavy Metal band of all-time. (Finally received a "Rock N Roll Hall of Fame" nomination. Vote em in! :) Vote daily thru Dec. 5. Anyhow, the singer on American Idol was James Durbin (final show he sang with Rob Halford - lead singer of Judas Priest). If you haven't done so already, check out the late, great Ronnie James Dio....and the classic "Stargazer" when he was in Rainbow (1975 - 78 ish). He then fronted Black Sabbath and finally his own band, DIO. \m/ (and the "inventor" of the metal horns symbol).

Hey serious props to you guys! Great review, and I really appreciate your open-minded attitude. Big thumbs up. I'm a metal musician, and have been listening to that album for years. I agree that it's a "time capsule" song. You guys reacted to all the right things. Just goes to show that an open ear, even if untrained in a particular genre, can discern what is important. I like your ear for quality music. Rock on!

With "Painkiller" Priest finally take us beyond our imagination as they never did before, to a realm of adventure and fantasy, fire and iron, blood and steel, rain and lightnings altogether, where the axe of gods slashes mountains and kills blasphemers, spreading the sacred word of pure heavy metal. We can feel the raw and epic battle between Good and Evil they are trying to immerse us. Tipton/Downing guitars portray the sharp-edged swords, Hill/Travis rhythm section is the war drums and Halford piercing-evocative voice is the clamour of the battlefield. Let's ride the chromium-plated metal horses raising the horns along with the rusty-armours knights and Priest to the head of the Metal Battalion through the dark paths of Hell. It's a worthwhile and never-to-be-forgotten adventure.

Without Priest there is no megadeath or metallica or any other metal band. Priest is the All father of Metal.

These guys are bang-on on how they are talking about 80's metal...

Dio - Rainbow In The Dark

Judas priest- Touch of evil

This is one of my absolute fave Metal songs of all time....and Halford's voice is the stuff of legends! :)

Such a fucking great song. I'm with others on here, Master of Puppets please.

In case you didn't know, Priest saved metal. Fact.

"THEY ARE GOING NUTS!!!!" haha - Love watching your reacts series - keep up the good job :)

What I always find interesting about their reactions is they're hearing it out of context from when the song was released. This one especially. Judas Priest was a dinosaur when this album dropped. They weren't cool at all. Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth had taken over and started getting some real mainstream crossover and that sound dominated. Then out of nowhere, Priest drops this super hard, fast and raw record that combined their old school NWoBHM sound with the speed and aggression of what as popular at the time. But these Freethinkers here are just taking the song as it is, in relative isolation....

Classic ! Great choice guys. The Singer is Rob Halford, one of the best metal vocalist ever along with Dio and Bruce Dickinson Please, react to Iron Maiden - Hallowed By Thy Name

Considering Priest has always been "Heavy Metal" this song literally delivered the "Metal" goods. This band was getting a bit older at this time and they definitely proved that they could bring it better than any Metal band out there. You have to realize Priest has been around since the early 70s and their sound has contiguously transitioned to what you discribed, so appropriately, as the "peak" of the Metal sound. You guys are awesome to watch, love watching your reactions!

Was blessed by the metal gods to see this tour, even the almighty halford said this is his fave album!!!!

What an amazing channel you guys've got ! Painkiller is one of my favorite songs of all time and I loved the way you guys discuss the structure of songs, with an open mind and pertinent comments. Metals up from Brazil !

For the older metal bands, like the ones you were talking about, it was much easier to be original because they are the origins of what metal is today as much as the hip hop artists from the 80's and 90's. Another great video fellas.

My friends, I have all but eliminated watching tv other then MMA and playing games when my daughter is here. I use KZfaq as my form of recorded entertainment. Let me tell you that I smile more and get genuinely excited watching your videos. I myself am very eclectic in my musical taste and I feel it's important to hear all different genres and styles of people or cultures sing their inner passions or experiences. But I must admit that after over 30 years of being a die hard metal fan I now realize that I've been a bit stale and snobby with what I allow for metal. Hearing your interpretations and break downs have set me back on the level of appreciation and open ears as I had years ago. I thought I knew what I liked in metal and most else wasn't given a second chance. It's incredibly refreshing to now hear the things and nuances I accidentally tuned out long ago. I still have certain preferences but man thank you for uncovering some of the beauty that brought me in to this all those years ago. Sometimes it takes a rookie to refresh the mind of a seasoned vet. I didn't even know I was a metal snob. Sorry not sorry for the long winded shit guys but you need to know that what you're doing is very important for many of us. And I said before you're breaking down barriers and stereotypes in such a time of need for all of us. You guys are doing a solid and doing so naturally. Free thinking!!!!

My husband and I just started watching your videos a couple of days ago and they are amazing! We are huge metal fans and we love your real reactions to the songs- they are fire! We sit here and can't wait to see how you react to certain parts of songs, it seriously makes our day. You both are phenomenal. Keep doing what you're doing and welcome to the metal community.

10:17 God damn 10:25 that Guy...... Those two statements sum it all up

Creeping Death - Metallica

This was priest in their 40's

I'm watchin' this again, congrats on your upcoming accomplishment! 1,000,000 SUBS! Keep it up!

Such a great review of one of the best voices in music of an genre! You guys are the best!

You're not alone. I was all about Hip hop and rap until my homie got me into Rock/Metal. It was the drumming particularly on Metal tracks that caught my ear first. Then everything else lol!

Rob Halford is unique. Nobody can copy his voice. All Hail, Judas Priest!

Don’t forget the album art. It’s a total package.

Queen of the Reich by queensreich would blow your guys mind! It’s a total must!!

Judas Priest "The Hellion - Electric Eye" or "The Ripper"

Judas Priest - METAL GODS!! No one can ever come close to Rob Halford’s singing. No one!! At one time in Rob Halford’s early career in metal he was asked to sing opera instead of metal, Rob chose metal. The rest is history.

i love your videos guys, so original and fun, keep them coming!

Can stop watching their reaction to this song ..awesome!.

Megadeth - Tornado of Souls, you can almost hear the guitar sing on that song's solo

You're exactly right, this is a time capsule type song. A time capsule type album. Often copied, but never quite duplicated.

I love your vids cause it makes me relive the first time I heard these songs too. Def keep up the good work 🤘

Totally agree with the comparisons of older metal and hip hop of the 90’s. I thought I was the only one who thought the way I think and then I discovered you gentlemen. Love what y’all guys do!!

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name!!!

2 suggestions... Iron Maiden Hallowed Be Thy Name and maybe some old school rap.. maybe Whodini

You two are so much fun and are doing a great service... love your videos...please keep it up...you’re adorable and obvious music freaks, thank you!

I LOVE the way you guys dissect each song and analyze it independent of other types and eras of metal. You guys ROCK. Great rap analogy too.

Ok, you guys need to do Iron Maiden now. One of the greatest metal bands out there. React to “Hallowed Be Thy Name”! One of the best maiden songs in my opinion

Judas Priest are the sound of the middle of England and I'm so proud of everything they've achieved and to have been in existence in the same timeline. Rob just gets better with age... a true legend in every sense of the word. Bless him & Priest, long may the metal gods reign. righteous.

I love your breakdown and analysis of these videos!

Like you guys said, this song seems exhausting to play. From EVERY instrument's perspective, it is. To this day that solo is absolutely one of the most difficult to play PROPERLY. 27 years later.

tipton and downing are a classic twin lead machine! i love both these cats, they progressed with the times and incorporated new techniques like sweeping and wild ass arpeggio asskickery.

I love you two. No matter what you are checking out. Love your show every time!

Rob Halford started out training for opera. (now it makes sense, doesn't it?) I gotta tell you. . . watching you guys react to some of this music reminds me of why I love it - it kind of takes me back to when I first heard it - I'm damned near 54 and heard all of it when it was brand-spanketty new and melting faces for the first time. (my face has yet to recover. really, you don't want to see my mug)

Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

The sentinel!!! Judas Priest!!! Now that's a song that represents what 80s metal is

This song and its respective album changed my life forever ❤

As a metalhead I sometimes wish I could forget about this songs... so I could hear them for the first time all over agsin... this videos gets me closer to this, also we love when people hear to metal for the first time and love it

Motörhead - Orgasmatron Black Sabbath - Into the Void

These are necessary sooner or later: Megadeth - Tornado of Souls Pantera - Domination (Live in Moscow)

This is my first sub to a reaction channel. You guys are great. You just get it.

Do not drive and listen to this song! Can you say speeding ticket?

To continue your journey you simply must enjoy - King Diamond "Abigail" - this is a classic in the genre
