I used to play this before playin' ball (football) back in the day - loved JP, this song and the movie it was used for - all fit nicely. "Oh my but how that big ol' country boy could play - GO-GOOOOO, GO JOHNNY GO-GO, GO JOHNNY GO, GO JOHNNY GO, GO-GO, GO JOHNNY GO-GO, GO JOHNNY GOOOO, JOHNNY B. GOODE". I was talkin' about this last night at a local place with some people and next thing I know, the song's rockin' the place - ain't heard this in a while.
Did iTunes just listen to this song's chorus and say, "Yeah, Judas Priest are definitely Pop"? Because if they heard the rest of the Ram it Down album, they'd make a new genre and call it "Judas Priest will shit in your pants for you" ^_^
@wyominglost Definitely! The first scream you hear is actually iTunes when Judas Priest grabbed their bollocks and said, "We ain't Pop, you got that?!"
In my opinion, this song is the single biggest wank-fest in music history. The only way you could top this is to lock Michael Angelo Batio, Vinnie Vincent, and Steve Stevens in a room and have them record their take of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". To take one of rock's greatest songs and turn it into...*that*, is an affront to, well...the world.
Judas Priest, I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
@turtlemouth Yeah, if this were an original JP song, it would be great, but it's just sooooo far from the original, and I think that's what people hate about it.
Orion Pictures music management was looking for something a lot hotter than the Chuck Berry original for a movie in production in 1987, and Tom Allom and Judas Priest delivered a metalized tour de force for "Johnny Be Good," which did rake in $17.5M at the box office despite bombing amongst practically all media critics.
Smells Like Teen Spirit? Not even close, man. There are no greatest rock songs, only artists, and they're Little Richard and Chuck Berry, no one can do it better than them.
@94Cioppa Smells Like Teen Spirit is no where near the top 2. Stairway to Heaven, One, Hello Goodbye, and Sweet Child o' Mine are better then those two.
I like this mainly because of the feeling of the band having fun, espeically at the chorus Robs high pitched voice is just oozing pure happiness of singing this great song. The original will alwyas be the original but Priest aint like the typical 80s metal band, they are much more pure and they rock.
Its made by Priest so dont expect a 100% rip off cover, its Berry in a Priest way, I happen to like both Berry and Priest and I think its a cool version.
@Devoidize, A metal purist supposedly is someone who claims to know what it's supposed to be. What it has to be, what the lyrics should say, this, that. Clearly, they don't know what they're talking about.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Original Johnny B. Goode is rock'n'roll classic. This is only another typical 80's metal song with shitty drums sound and so on... Not even come close to the original. But it's only my opinion.
I'm sick as fuck, I'm all by my self right now, and I'm sitting with homework on a saturday. BUT I can't be sad since I've had this song on repeat for an hour! :D
@ximx123 No shit. Well, he was actually a black guy who played the guitar and who, if he was white, nobody would pay any attention to him. But where this song is concerned, I agree: Who the hell is Chuck Berry? Priest now FUCKING OWNS this song.
@beautifulsarah100 Are you serious man? If he wouldve been white he wouldve totally sank Elvis. The reason that he never got really famous was that he lived in times of discrimination. Great guitarists praise Chuck Berry. I do agree that this song is the best cover tho.
