This is Judas Priest at their most metal! You definitely jumped into the deep end of the pool with this one. I think this song was in response to some criticism they received for their album "Turbo". They wanted to prove they still had the chops and could compete with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, etc., and boy did they!! Their older stuff was more along the lines of Sabbath. Also, Rob Halford is credited with creating the "look" of heavy metal, ie all the leather, studs, and chains. His vocal range is next to none. Many other people here have already suggested it but you should check out their older song "Victim of Changes"

That's all we did back then was go to concerts, Arena rock was the best. Usually 2 maybe 3 bands, fully packed, light show, super loud and it was the best times for Metal. When the lights went down and the bands hit the stage there was such roar from the crowd and it just erupted into some of the best music you'll ever hear. Judas Priest will always live in the Relm of Metal Gods!

Try, Hellrider, Love Bites (raw Priest which is hard and fast) and You've got another thing coming, Electric Eye (was just listening to this today), Turbo Lover, Living after Midnight, Breaking the Law (a Priest which is metal, catchy hooks and riffs). Both evolutions of the band are worth every minute to get to know. Don't sleep on this band - Halford (Rob) has one of metal's best primal screams out there, to date, full stop. He is part of a very elite group - and GOD I love me some guitar shred, heavy drums and metal scream. And your reactions are the best - I see your thumbnail and I grab it cause your appreciation of metal is so genuine and it really makes me happy to watch the impact this music has, 'cause I feel that. Not to mention getting to seeing another metalhead in the making.

The most metal song of all time by my favorite band ever! At the start you heared Scott Travis (drummer)'s debut with the band, then Rob Halford (vocals) - best singer of all time (at least imo)! Then in the middle you heared Glenn Tipton's (lead guitar) masterpiece solo and at around 3/4 of the song also KK Downing' solo (rythm guitar). And we cant forget about Ian Hill (bass), who is the only original member that is still in the band (since 1969). These guys have been around for more than 53 years and they're still touring and will release a new (19th) studio album in March... You gotta react to more songs by them so you get used to them, before March. My suggestions: -Beyond the Realms of Death (Ative as LEGENDAS - in the title, so you chose the best one) -Screaming for Vengeance (live 1983) -VIctim of Changes (live from Seminole Rock) -Judas Rising (official video) -Diamond and Rust (live from Epitaph) -Blood Red Skies (live from Epitaph) or some of their hits: -Breaking the Law (official or live from Dortmund 83) -You've Got Another Thing Comin (live from Epitaph) Just to name a few lol... enjoy :)

As others have already commented Priest does not always sound like this. In fact, for most I would never suggest this song as an intro. However, as you were already in deep with Metallica it makes sense for you. Painkiller is a 6 minute punch in the face by design. Priest is completely opposite of most successful bands. Most find a sound that works and they mostly stick with it. Priest has evolved album to album throughout the years always tweaking their sound. The evolution of their sound from album to album can be shocking never mind consideration of their full library of music which will span 50 years with their upcoming album to be released in 2024. During the 80s, newer and heavier bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, etc were coming out. Priest despite being considered as one of the pioneers of metal was in the view of some thought to sound "soft". Painkiller was a direct response to this criticism. To show (in part) the evolution of the band I would suggest Victim of Changes next from their 1976 album Sad Wings of Destiny. One of their most popular songs with the Priest faithful that is played at every show.

And my kids wonder why Daddy is half deaf 😂😂😂😂😂 We got tickets to see Saliva a month back and my youngest ( the one most like me ) loved that she could feel the drums in her chest ❤

Saw this live in Louisville Kentucky a few years ago. It was the last song of the set and the guitarist Richie Faulkner blew out his aorta at the end of the song and survived.

I love watchin this guys face get melted from all these metal bands! Welcome to the Priest!

No one will ever say that these guys are not the metal gods that they are. I have been listening to these guys since 1979 and I’m gonna tell you they’re better now than they were then. Rob Halford is just a beast. I love Judas Priest will always love Judas Priest, and in my book, they are one of the greatest metal bands ever. And you have to remember Rob Halford now is probably in his late 72 and the new album they just put out sounds just like that.

Great pick and reaction.

Rob Halford is the greatest metal singer that ever lived. His vocal range being super-human, that he can hit all of that range at 74 years old today (brand new album) and fun fact: he's gay. My hero since junior high, this man is what every other metal singer is always going to be compared to. I love watching your reaction videos, every time I watch the same one I still get great enjoyment seeing the best parts coming up and awaiting how you will react! Great fun! Other Judas Priest gems to check out: Screaming for Vengeance, Freewheel Burning and Blood Red Skies all showcase Rob Halford's amazing vocals.

I'd love to experience this style of music for the first time again. Since it's more of an evolution of heaviness over the years, I never actually did experience music like this. You're super lucky to have such amazing choices to discover. Yes... I know this is an old song, but in general... stuff like this fueled the desire to make the really heavy stuff now.

This is the typical response to hearing Painkiller for the first time. Astonishment.

Priest started in the 70's. By the 90's with the new wave of 'thrash' etc bands like Metallica, Megadeath, Pantera, etc; many were saying JP were over the hill and done. Painkiller was Judas Priest's "hold my beer" album.

Priest rules. This song is from 91 and is among their heaviest tracks. Try something from the mid 80’s like The Sentinel or Freewheel Burning or Riding On The Wind. Or go earlier into the 70’s and do Victim Of Changes. That is a must listen. Plus they have a brand new track out and Rob (the singer) is 72. Check out the new one Trial By Fire. Very cool.
