The Hellion / Electric Eye is a banger.

I’m almost 65 now . Watching you two listening to this masterpiece was exactly my reaction 40 years ago. Rock on!!

A buddy of mine growing up introduced me to this album on a road trip to go out camping in the desert. One of those few albums where every song is fire. So glad you liked this one.

This is what you call 100% pure Heavy Metal. It's not Thrash, it's not Glam, it's not Doom/Death/Black. It's just 100% pure Heavy Metal.

3 of Judas Priest's 5 current band members (including singer Rob Halford) are over 70 years old, and they're STILL releasing absolute bangers.

Bro ive never clicked one of your vids so fast. Favourite Priest song ever. One of the greatest Metal songs ever. Just peak Metal glory.

The thing about priest is that every one of their albums has its own sound and style. This entire album is perfect but that intro came directly from the pits of Tartarus. In 2022 I saw Priest at the Met. They opened with one shot at glory. When Sentinel came on, the entire atmosphere instantly changed. The room went silent. In the song both Downing and Tipton play the same riff. On stage they doubled up on one guitar and added a new melody with the second one. Everyone was silent for the intro. Rob’s vocals were amazing the entire show, but nothing compared to the last few minutes of this song. His highs stretched at least half an octave higher, and for that last note he unloaded into a full on black metal shriek. He only gets better with age. Ps I also got to see a 75 year old Glenn Tipton with Parkinson’s walk out and solo.

One of the best metal songs of all time It gets better with every listen

KK Downing had a heavy hand in writing this song. The 6 part lead swap between Tipton and Downing is just killer. They swapped the solo three times each and then came together for a joint end. Watching this live they swapped the solos and the rhythm as they went . This came out the year I was a Junior in High School, I bought this album the day it came out.

The Sentinel is the blueprint and the archetype of a great, epic and perfect metal song. To me it is probably the greatest overall metal song ever. The intro that returns in the middle of the song, the sound, the solo, the spoken dramatic part, the ending and above all Rob Halford's voice... I am 60 and I have been a metalhead since 1976 when I was 13 and I sure am not stuck in the past and I love all metal genres and the heavier and more extreme the better.

I discovered Judas Priest in highschool as a young black man. This is my favorite band of all time. I've seen them live four times, first when Painkiller was dropped and just this past year with my son who is a Metalhead just like me. Great reaction. Hellion/Electric Eye should be next.

This album and Screaming for Vengeance (the album before this) have some of the best metal guitar tone ever, and it's not even debatable.

I remember hearing this for the first time in 1986 and being blown away by the guitar tone. The production on this album was amazing.

Beyond the Realms of Death - Judas Priest Best guitar solo

Do more reactions for Judas Priest. They have tons of great songs. Legends of metal music!

This is the kind of classic metal songs i like to hear in this channel, I also loved the reaction. Rob Halford is one of the greatest metal singers no doubt about it.

The groove songs you're looking for are "Touch of Evil" and "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll". Ryan will love them both.

Ryan and George making up new genres. Medium thrash lol. Love it. You guys would love Some Heads Are Gonna Roll from the same album.

Got goosebumps listening to this song again with you guys, after 40 years

Defenders of the Faith came out in 1984 and at the age of 72 Rob Halford can still do it and they will be touring 2024 to support their new album, your reaction is priceless.

Absolute god tier song. A Rob Halford master class. That chorus is otherworldly. Rob always delivers Now do "Halls of Valhalla". So you can see that Rob can still belt as an AARP member lol

Dissident Aggressor from the Sin After Sin album is also one of Judas Priest's masterpieces.

Devil's horns to the sky when I saw this. I love this song. I saw Priest in 82 and Rob was in his prime vocally. He sounded just like this. Right off the record great. Mind blowing vocals.

“Some heads are gonna roll”, believe me this song is right up your alley

This is one of the best, most dramatic songs of the 80's. My favorite by Priest easily

That guitar solo is a masterpiece back and forth between k k downing and glenn tipton with the harmonization at the end in the battle style guitar solo.

You gotta remember, Priest was known for the faster tempos and that's what the fans loved. Also the same with Halford and his high pitched yells. That's why he's a metal god. Sometimes you need to grow out of your box of looking for groove all the time.

We demand more Priest reactions since they are THE heavy metal band on earth.

I saw Judas Priest in San Diego, 3rd row, in the 80s. They are awesome live. ❤🎉

This should be a whole album reaction

Ryan needs to trade mark "that was Naaassstyyy" lmfao!!

This is one of the greatest heavy metal songs ever written.

thank you for checking this one out. It is by far an all time top 5 best Judas Priest song. So good and those riffs and vocals are top notch heavy metal \m/

My favorite song of all time. 🤘 🤘

Tipton/Downing together with Shermann/Denner are THE best twin guitar solo duo ever!

Glenn Tipton and KK Downing were untouchable in their prime.

There was only one response to this song by any objective ear: they crushed it! The Sentinel is my all time favorite JP song. It's the perfect distillation of molten metal!

When Ryan perfectly timed going into the last chorus there at the end was awesome lol. This song is such a banger. I think I speak for most of us when I say we would much rather see an honest reaction Verse just saying you like it to make people happy. It’s what makes your channel better than the rest, keep it up boys🤘🏼

So jealous you get to hear this for the first time. Its a classic

one of my favorite guitar solos by the band...its both guitarists...first Glen Tipton..then KK Downing takes a turn, then the 'final' bit if both of them playing together

young music lovers will never understand the power of listening to an album from beginning to end in one sitting. When we were young we lived for that shit.

Rock hard ride free it's another great song from Priest, life is not just speed but it isn't only about groove, we need both 😂

Learned to play this song myself (I'm a guitarist) a few years back, been listening to it since I was a teenager back in the 1980s. It's really challenging. There are technical elements that will test you, but there's also odd time signature changes that really come out of left field. This was prime time for Priest.

I've been waiting for years for you guys to do this one. DOTF was one of the definitive albums of my childhood and The Sentinel still ranks up there in my top 3 Priest songs. What a masterpiece!

Vocês escolheram uma música sensacional para esse react. Esse álbum marcou a minha adolescência e até hoje com 56 anos não perdi a minha paixão!! 🎸🤘

What a great tune...it's been a hot second since i heard that one....priest at the height of their powers...freewheel burnin is also a sick one off this album

Glad you did this one... Early Christmas for us Priest fans 😅

This is one of my favorites from Judas Priest.

Wow man I was 13 when this came out. I cranked it on vinyl. 🤘😂🤘 Rob and Priest at their finest.

"The figure stands expressionless, Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory Or the seeds of death he's sown" This song has some of the greatest writing ever. Completely transported to a different time and place for the duration of the song. Pure poetry.

I remember seeing them on that tour, this song, live really smoked.

I was a teen white boy living temporarily in Bushwick while my family worked for a religious charity. A black bass player in the church band gave me two albums. Metal Health, and Defenders of the Faith. Rocked my world. Literally.

You glossed right over the best part of the song. "unmoved by his victory and the seeds of DEATH HE'S SOWN" gives me chills every time

My fav priest song. The definition of heavy metal.

'The Sentinel' is one of Judas Priest's popular songs and it was never a single... fans always go nuts when they play it live 🤘🤘🔥🔥 K.K.Downing's new band K.K.'s Priest has sequel songs - 'Return of the Sentinel' ... 'Sons of the Sentinel' However, Judas Priest has plenty of mid-tempo groove-heavy songs that never get attention: 'Solar Angels' ... 'Metal Gods' ... "I'm a rocker" ... 'A touch of evil' ... 'Fever'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥

So many other songs to do, just so many. Electric Eye, Beyond the Realms of Death, Painkiller, Screaming for Vengeance. I could go on.

I love the ending. Those chords just rams it home. Brilliant!

Classic Heavy Metal of the 80s. At the time, bands like Maiden, Priest, and Scorpions were starting to get radio air play with some other songs that were more radio friendly, but that opened the door to the rest of their albums where we found songs like this....and a music genre was born.

51yr old metal head here. mad RESPECT for how you 2 have such a knowledgeable unbiased breakdown of music! calling power ballad metal medium thrash is so appropriate as you can feel what influenced thrash metal bands. Glen Tipton & KK Downing are pioneers of bands with 2 lead guitarists. as far as Priest goes you've probably covered songs like Screaming For Vengeance, Turbo Lover, Painkiller... here's a couple suggestions for some somewhat obscure extremely talented Hard Rock/Metal from the late 80's-early 90's: Future World by Pretty Maids, Black Wind, Fire, and Steel by Manowar, The Headless Children by WASP, Hypnotized by Heathen as for some traditional Brazilian music influenced metal checkout Jumpdaf*ckup, Back to the Primitive, Tree of Pain all 3 by Soulfly lastly, true metal torch bearers the modern band composed of 3 young brothers from KC: Hammerhedd (any of their songs) enjoyed the video. subbed ✌️🐝➕

Look. This was and still is my Anthem. I am so happy that you enjoyed it. Pretty sure this was the first Priest song I heard. I honestly listen to this probably once a week. Also my 1st concert was this album. Had to be driven in by a friend. Love you guys, keep up the true reactions.

One of my all time fav Priest songs. EPIC

Man you got so many cool Priest songs to listen, they did everything!

Priest went back to back perfection with screaming and defenders

80's Metal was the best Era to be a teenager. Love your reactions

This song just takes me back to sitting on the school bus in the 80’s with a boom box blasting this. The fact that you two appreciate the song makes the memories even better

I don't believe it is possible to fully experience a song like this in this day and age. I was lucky to have been a young teen when I discovered this gem. Unless you can directly relate, you're all jealous.

You guys would love beyond the realms of death. A power ballad with a slower tempo. Also doesnt have that "high fantasy" feel to it.

George and Ryan I was headed to bed and then I caught Lost in Vegas dropped the Sentinel.

This is one of my absolute favorite Priest songs. I worked for days to learn how to play the rhythm on guitar. When it switches to that quick arpeggiated part and then kicks into the lyrics, just awesome. I really want to eventually learn the solos but that will take a long time to get it down.

There are so many great Priest songs y’all can discover and be equally impressed with. The Stained Class album, Sad Wings of Destiny, British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and Hell Bent for Leather are full of great songs. Enjoy watching y’all discover the greatness that is Judas Priest.

Was expecting this one! Its impossible not to headbang to this song!

The song I’ve been waiting for you guys to react! This song is epic and metal in a way that no other band has achieved and is almost inexplicable. The Fuel For Life tour, for this album, is amazing and worth watching.

Judas Priest was the first band that I fell in love with. I was only 8 years old. Over time my passions went elsewhere and I only recently discovered that Judas Priest still rocks out. Rob Halford is a great guy, and the rest of the band as well. Metal Gods!

I love your videos! When this album came out I was a teenager and I listened to this record almost non-stop for a while there. When I first heard this tune, my 14-year-old jaw hit the floor. Glad you liked it!

My all time favorite metal song off my favorite album KK Downing and Glenn Tipton are the BEST LEAD swapping guitarists of all time 🤟

It’s great that you guys play heavy-metal, but it’s even better because you both UNDERSTAND IT. Thanks guys. Keep up the great work.

There isn't a stereo loud enough to listen to this properly. Of all the great hits that Priest had, this one grew to be my favourite through the mid eighties.

You guys should definitely check out the live version of this song. Watching Rob Halford sing this live and keep going and higher and higher during the chorus is insane. And the dueling guitar solos is so sick live 🤘🏼🎸

That "medium thrash" was the setup for the mosh back in the dark ages.

Absolutely love your reviews guys. The genuine joy that comes across when you review a song is awesome. Keep up the brilliant work guys!🤘🤘🤘🤘

I saw this band live so many times in the 80s. What an amazing performance they gave every time! Top 3 favorite bands of all time for me.

If you like "nasty riffs", the song Heavy Duty on Defenders of the Faith is one of the nastiest of all time. And Freewheel burning has EPIC high-speed rap verses in it. One of the classic metal albums for sure.

One of my favorite Priest songs. You should do "Stained Class"!

At that point in time judas priest ruled 🤘🤘🤘

The best song ever written. The whole first side (LP) of Defenders Of The Faith is the best side of an album ever. Heavy Metal is my religion and Judas is my Priest \m/\m/

When I was 10 I listened to this album and Screaming for Vengeance so much I went thru 4 cassettes lol anybody remember tapes I also started playing drums when I was 10 so I cut my teeth on many Priest songs Top notch Priest will keep you guessing sometimes lol ✌️🧐🤘

Being a teenager during the time this album was released was incredible. My first Judas Priest concert was Defenders of the Faith and the next three. Judas Priest put on the best concerts. Top of the game pros. What I witnessed with Priest is the musicianship got better. They sound better live then the studio album.

Priest formed in 69 , maiden came on the scene in 75 w a album in 76 The line of demarcation is that Maiden never had a guitarist like Glen Tipton , not even close .

Pure metal. Plain and simple. 🤘🏼

The production is awesome

This is a very good song. Old metal head but had forgotten how great this song was. In fact this entire album is very good

What a GREAT song - so glad you guys didn't go with the more radio-friendly ones like Living After Midnight or Breaking the Law after YGATC. This song still gives me chills after 40 years of listening to it - my favorite Priest song. Not as well known by the general public but a classic to the band's fans.

These dudes are hilarious. The slow groove bias is too much LOL.

One of the most iconic metal songs of all time. Perfection

As a metalhead, I love to see how you analyze the genre. It’s always nice to see how my favourite music is viewed by those who aren’t necessarily into it. Keep up the good work, guys. ❤️

Yes is from 1984 and 40 years later you check up this Song that is the Power of Heavy Metal Music

This song is masterpiece! That descending A Minor riff always gives me the chills!

My favorite JP song. Enjoy guys!

I’ve been asking for this song for YEARS! Thank you Ryan and George!!!

This is truly the perfect metal song. My favorite Priest tune.
