This is the album where Judas Priest reminded everyone they still existed, were still masters of metal, and could hang with the thrash bands of the day

Back in the day, when this album came out, we metalheads were shunned and demonized for the music we loved, because the general public were terrified of the imagery and aggressiveness of metal music. Little did they notice the virtuosity of the musicians putting out this great music. It’s great to see this generation rediscovering this great musical genre, decades later.

Painkiller was my husband's favorite song by Judas priest. When he unexpectedly died from COVID, we played Painkiller at his memorial. Then four months later played painkiller at my daughter's wedding for my husband. I also danced with her wearing my husband's leather jacket . Thank you Judas Priest for all the memories, and concerts . ❤

No, your not being trolled, this shit is really fuckin epic!!!!

“You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”, “Electric Eye”, “Breaking the Law”, “Living After Midnight”….. all of these are good ones!!🤘🏻

you just experienced the METAL GODS! Great job.

"I don't know what possessed them to be this hardcore." They started in the early 70s and when this album came out in 1990 it, at the time, was supposed to be their final album. So they went all out with the most metal send off of all time. It didn't stick and they're currently preparing to tour their 50th anniversary. They are part of the Metal Trinity that started everything. The other two bands are Motorhead and Black Sabbath. Both of which are no more yet Priest continues on. They are the Metal gods. They've literally outlasted everyone.

The greatest thing about Painkiller is that it is utterly relentless. It never gives up. No breaks.

You just listened to what many consider the heaviest metal song ever recorded. Saw Halford sing this live and his vocals shoots through your soul like a laser. \m/

That whole album is worth a reaction to. Every song on the Painkiller album is awesome. That's a fact and not just an opinion.

There's nothing trolling, pranking, or anything like that about any of the songs that have been recommended. These are all legit artists. Judas Priest were highly influential to the late 1970s and 1980s Metal scene. They are simply one of the greatest metal bands in history! Judging a band by their name is never a good thing to do. You've listened to quite a lot of Metal on the channel, so the fast and heavy guitars shouldn't be new to you. If you can get used to that, then you can start to appreciate the skill of the musicians in the band. K.K Downing and Glenn Tipton are two of the greatest guitarists in Metal and the solos in this song are some of the greatest solos in Metal. In addition to them, Rob Halford is not only one of the greatest vocalists period, but he also started the trend of Leather-based fashion in the Metal community. They started a lot of shit in the genre and are quite easily the 2nd most important band in Metal, apart from Black Sabbath. Regardless, I made a comment not loo long ago suggesting Judas Priest but I actually preferred you listen to some of their early work because it would be easier to get into before Painkiller. Some not-as-intense songs include Breaking The Law, Living After Midnight, You've Got Another Thing Coming, and Hell Bent For Leather, Victim Of Changes, and Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver.

If u just starting out listening to priest, u should’ve listened to you’ve got another thing comin, breaking the law, freewheel burning, living after midnight, rapid fire, (theres a lot more I could name), bottom line is, anything but the painkiller album if u just started listening to priest

Welcome to HEAVY METAL my brotha!

Never ask a "MetalGod" too prove themselves, The results are this.

I cannot express how much I love this song.

"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... But your kids are gonna love it" quote for big brains only

Every time I see Judas Priest fans suggest "Painkiller" as a first reaction to them, I'm always thinking, "Y'all trying to scar this person for life?" I love this song now, but when I first heard it, it scared the shit out of me!

Next: You’ve got another thing coming Released in the 80s

Judas Priest is heavy metal my friend. They do hard driving and softer more melodic. The singer Rob Halford is one of the greatest. Ripper, green maharishi, riding on the wind, diamonds and rust(remake of Joan baez tune)you've got another thing coming, all great songs!

painkiller was a little full on to start with, its one of if not their heaviest album

This was one of their heaviest albums/songs. Love it ❤️

"beyond the realms of death" or "victim of changes" both epic songs at a little slower pace..

BLACK SABBATH - CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE

Whole Painkiller album Is pure, clean heavy metal to the core, next "Metal meltdown"!

METAL is my religion. JUDAS is my PRIEST! The band that defined heavy metal.

Both guitars shared the lead in this whole album.

All Guns Blazing, Electric Eye, Free Wheel Burning, Diamonds and Rust, and Heading out to the Highway.

Here's some songs that are bangers but won't be recommended often: Bloodstone, Between the Hammer and the Anvil, and Devil's Child.

So this is the first album featuring Scott Travis on drums, and he's still their drummer to this day. Needless to say, he's easily the best drummer they've ever had and took them to a whole new level when he joined.

This is the song you play, when someone ask "What is Heavy Metal?".

You need to go back and listen to early Judas Priest from the 70's... try "beyond the realms of death" or "victim of changes" both epic songs at a little slower pace...painkiller came out in early 90's and was a sonic boom of a heavy metal song...Not really the same as their earlier work.

Lol “That was frightening. That was awesome. I like that!” You’re a damn fool and we love it. Hilarious 😂

I love the faces you make as you go through the motions from trying to work out just what you're listening to, to processing the epicness of the solos and finally enjoying the living shit out of the song by the end. Everyone will recommend songs like Breaking the Law, or The Hellion/Electric Eye, which you should listen to, but before all that, go for Metal Meltdown, All Guns Blazing and Between The Hammer And The Anvil, all of which are also on the Painkiller album. Widely regarded as their best album and they did some amazing albums in their time.

If you give them another chance try “you’ve got another thing coming” it’s a great song. I love your channel.

I think jojo may have piddled himself. Greatest description ever though. They took the chords from the top 20 metal songs, put them ina blender, then took them to the top of mt everest where they were struck by lightning gods...freakin epic

Judas Priest has rocked us for 51 years! We love them ! Painkiller is a true heavy metal song! I love Priest.

JP are on most Metalheads Mountrushmore, they are truly one of the OG's of metal. From the look, to the sound and stage show.

Victim of changes Touch of evil My top 2 favorite priest songs

Greetings LFR Jojo from Las Vegas N.V. I wish you much success on your channel. Judas Priest specifically in this great record production "Painkiller" recorded in 1990. It is known as aggressive metal. For example the third song titled "All Guns Blazing" is a song straight to the core. Very good song. I invite you to listen to it. Your reaction is incredible. I am a drummer by profession in the world of heavy power metal, but I respect all kinds of music. Music is Music. Greetings Bro take care.

The look on peoples faces when they hear that drum intro. it never gets old.

Awww,helllll-ya,man! Been waiting for you to do this one! ROCK ON💪😎🥁🎹🎸🎸🎶🎵🔊🤙

I love the look on your face!!! That's pure metal baby!🤘🤘

JoJo, you might like to try Breaking the Law, Freewheel Burning, and Turbo Lover Those are my favorite Judas Priest hits Painkiller is the best hit of 1990 We listen that hit 31 years That was the best Crank it up, Turn it up Loud JoJo, you still are the best #1 🤘 RockStar Dude🤟 Check out Judas Priest hits Breaking the Law 1980 Freewheel Burning 1984 Turbo Lover 1986 (35th anniversary) 🤘 Keep on Rockin Rockstar Bro 🤘 🤟🏁 Matthew 🤟🏁

If you want more songs like that Slaughter to Prevail is amazing. Their song Demolisher is nuts

Back when MTV still played music videos You Got Another Thing Comin was one of the first videos I ever saw. JP has been one of my favorite bands ever since

this Is not only one of my favorite metal songs recorded but one of my favorite songs. it just kicks so hard

Living After Midnight and Turbo Lover are songs you have to check out!

This is the heaviest metal song ever written!!! Who ever thought of this is a genius

I like their song Breaking The Law and the song You've Got Another Thing Com'n.

Time time for some Lamb of God Jojo. You can't ignore it forever.

DUDE!!! Thank you, by you listening to this and the other awesome songs and letting us see your reactions brings me back to when I first heard them.

Judas priest started as a blues band... heavy blues is what I always called it

Rob Halford sounds like a Shakespearean actor when he speaks too, lol.

you should hear electric eyes. (also a Judas Priest classic.)

I just bought some tickets to see Priest in October. Been a fan for forever so I'm excited. Check out Victim of Changes or Dreamer Deceiver for something a little more chill. ;)

Now listen to Turbo Lover and you’ll understand.

The most special thing with this song is that there are no pause, no rest, it just goes on. And the next thing is that there is no beginning. It just starts. But ... there is an ending.

If you want to hear a completely different side of Judas Priest, check out Beyond The Realms Of Death.

A few more Judas Priest songs for you to check out. "Victim of Changes" (Unleashed In The East version), "Breaking the Law", "The Sentinal", "Turbo Lover", "Touch of Evil", and "You've Got Another Thing Coming"

👍👍 Judas Priest Rocks!!! Rockin after midnight!

I really love this song so much. As a guitarist, the solo is a real treat for the ears. And it's hella difficult. Respect to anyone who can nail that solo. I've tried to play it many times over the years and I just never had the chops. Amazing song

I know of no metal song that could top this, big JP fan. :)

This is your first video I’ve seen, where you didn’t stop the song before 30 seconds in. XD The look on your face man when he started singing got me.

Painkiller is a masterpiece

Breaking the law and take these chains off are good songs by Judas Priest as well. I’m still waiting for a Halestorm reaction 😁

Been head banging to JP for over 35 years. Rock on my good man.

Judas Priest is a dangerous band. Listen to their music in the car, and you'll suddenly look down and realize you're going 95mph. Especially when so much of their music references motorcycles, engines, and yes, Breaking the Law.

I loved your reaction. What is funny is that this song was released several years BEFORE YOU WERE BORN! Welcome to Judas Priest from an old guy (55) who has been rocking with priest since the 1970's.

I was listening to this as you posted the video! Lol so I just started watching the video immediately!

rap is a fashion heavy metal is eternal... Long live to Judas Priest

This is the kind of song I would listen to when playing Gran Turismo 4. Makes me drive like a demon. Dude, I was cracking up at your description at the beginning. Funny as hell. You HAVE to listen to Breaking The Law next. Judas Priest sounds a lot like Iron Maiden.

There you have the pure essence of what heavy metal is all about.

Your reactions always make me laugh! You look so shocked, then start loving it Just great, man :)

This is probably the most metal you will ever hear :)...Hugs from Sweden,.

Loved the use of props !

Luv your reaction! It's like working your first day of construction and they put you on the jack hammer!

Screaming vengeance, Judas Priest live from Tokyo. One of the best iconic albums ever.

Leaves you speechless the first time am I right bro I remember the first time I saw this video on MTV it left me speechless too. I feel 40 years younger watching your reactions brother thank you!

I LOVED your reaction bro, thanks for the laugh.

Ram it down is good, also Night crawler is creepy, you'll love it.

I have always loved that song.

Hey man you make me laugh every time. You’re right about this one. It’s as badass as it can be. One of my favs.

Oh I am delighted to see you listening to Judas Priest. That right there is part of the core of heavy metal. Wonderful stuff. Enjoy. They have a lot and I mean a LOT of good songs. Oo, try some Lordi sometime. Blood Red Sandman, possibly. Or Hard Rock Hallelujah.

Since 1968, They still a Heavy Metal God

This is Judas Priest, the godfathers of Metal, and the creators of the 'metal look'. Rob Halford, the lead singer, even performed with BabyMetal not that long ago because they wanted to perform with one of metal's greatest living legends.

'This sounds like the soundtrack for a fistfight' Probably the best description I've ever heard for a song.

Judas Priest are one of the founding metal bands. Been doing it since the 70’s and Halford is still going coming up on the age of 70 I believe

That solo is out of this world

Don't nobody remember Madden NFL 10s soundtrack? This song was a huge part of it

This song took the grunge sound and Bitch slapped it , these 5 musicians somehow managed to all give the most bombastic, metal hammer to the head of their careers on this one . Halford still pulls this song off in his 70's.

You did this the right way. You barely paused it. This dong id amazing. I saw them in my small town hometown at the national guard armory with Megadeth in 91 on this tour.

THE RIPPER IS A MUST....NO CAP! Anything off of "Defenders of the Faith" or "Screaming for Vengence".

weird things or as we call it actual music with real instruments and incredibly talented people who know what they are doing

Welcome to our world my brother. Love to all from Australia. 🤘🤘

Great video man keep it up and dope song btw much love ❤️ and earned a sub

It was only a matter of time before you started headbanging, haha! Nice explanation of your impression of the sound! I saw them in 1982 on their "Screaming For Vengeance" tour...for free! Awesome! Electric Eye from that album kicks ASS!

You're response is hilarious! 🤣

Judas Priest is amazing, I have seen them live as recently as 2 years ago! Every show is excellent, even though these guys are getting older they can still perform like total Rock Stars! They have NOT lost their edge!!!!

This is the first album with their drummer Scott Travis. Incredible.

Hey bigman.just want to say thanks for entertaing me during lockdown here in Scotland.between you and twinsthenew trend keeping me smiling.loving your reactions always.maybe try listening to del amitri "nothing ever happens".....chilling music.keep banging them out sir.
