The Hellion by Judas Priest used in the Honda Odyssey commercial

[AcXr50]

Well I guess I have to buy this car now.

[HighlordSarnex]

only time i've ever been happy to see this ad

[lyronpa]

I hope in the last several months that you have exerted just a bit of your apparently fervent effort for something other than an old crotchety rock band. And perhaps your parents will tell you what the CAPS LOCK IS ALL ABOUT

Also, you seem obsessed with man-on-man sex, please take that elsewhere.

[gfaris13]

@ PGspeed88 how stupid are you? Racer X was given Heart of a Lion by Priest , which they recorded on 87's Second Heat. Scott Travis( from Racer X) ihas been with Priest since Painkiller. Rob had Pantera as is band to record Light comes from Black for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Rob came on stage during a Pantera set on they Vulagr display tour and did 4 songs with them and the guitarists from Skid Row. You have no clue who likes or doesn't like anybody. Most bands would not be here or

[theadventuretimer]

fuck YEAH!

[ProjectGibix]

Now that's how you sell cars!

[OgnarPliskin]

Thanks for being cool, Honda.

[GREXUMER]

damn! one more reason to love honda!

[colonialkeyblade23]

I thought that was electric eye intro. Either way this is the best commercial for something I will never buy ever.

[Plateau95]

@colonialkeyblade23 The Hellion is the intro to the song. Most combine the two together under the main song like on Linkin Park's Meteora album with Don't Stay.

[salles105]

Fuck the metal haters and also the judas priest haters, bunch of dumbass ignorants, fuck those pussy bands out there, is not how complex is the music is the heart the intensity and the emotion what counts

[axelfox980]

@salles105

This.

I think most probably are Justin Bieber,Lady Gagme fans,or rap fans. I say rock on! \m/

[salles105]

Awesome song, crappy van.

[TombsDEC]

THIS IS A REAL MANIVAN COMMERCIAL

[KITTYCLUSTERFUCK]

0:17 ... look up "Dance of the Manwhore" and you'll know why I'm kinda terrified... he's haunting me.

[TombsDEC]

@KITTYCLUSTERFUCK

ROFLMAO HES HAUNTING YOU WHILE DANCING OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW

[ghellswrath]

What the hell happened to the chicks in the backseat!

[alwaysRocknRoll4ever]

does it really come with a Marshall stack cus I would love to have one even I don't drive yet

[becausehorse]

lol Redemption Road XD

[Painkiller1189]

BEST.COMMERCIAL.EVER

[CopseGrinder23]

I'd like to see Halford drive on to stage with the band in this!

[elvisdustin]

FUCKING HELLION!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE JUDAS PRIEST> HATERS GO SUCK BIEBERS COCK AND CUT THEMSELFS TO BLACK VIEL BRIDES!

[SLASHdaROCKER]

Me: Dad, can we get the new Honda Odyssey?

Dad: No way son, our car isn't even a year old!

Me: But it plays Judas Priest and has a Marshall Amp in the Trunk!

Dad: In that case, lets get rid of that jalopy and get ourselves a Metal Wagon!

[BDizDaBest]

Retarded cockrock. People who like this "music" should highly consider suicide.

[BLSmetalhead]

@BDizDaBest

people like you make me wonder why youtube let´s retards rant their shit all over without knowing what they are talking about.

Shut the fuck up please.

[MasakoXer]

@BDizDaBest

FUck you jackshit.

First, don't talk about rock music since it's the only real music out there.

2nd, don't talk about suicide, alot of ppl really do attempt that shit. Fuck you, fuck off.

[baldwinvette77]

@BDizDaBest Fine we'll keep listening to our "cockrock" you keep listening to your pussypop O.o

[TheMetalman57]

Who is that on the video screens?

[gmcmudder1]

@TheMetalman57

judas priest the hellion

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

With some changes, I'm sure this could be made into a rock 'n' roll shag wagon.

[qwerty63416341]

There is nothing on this earth more Metal than a Minivan. Nothing.

[Xiphos798]

I want....That Amp.

[Kazinsal]

I think I'm going to go buy a new Marshall stack now.

[Zabynou]

Judas Priest Rocks!

[shobin05]

cant believe they actually sued this commercial for using a billion year old clip from Godzilla at 0:15 the screen on the right...

[UnintindidDeath]

Why do i want a minivan now? o_o

[clemacdc30DW]

Oh Yeah

[xXBigDaisyXx]

Judas Priest!

[johnathankumberland]

0:18 REDEMPTION RD LMaoahahahahhah

[Stingnaught]

they should have had the dude paint it like an old metal shaggin wagon with the babe from Heavy Metal on the side. That would have made it awesome.. or if they made it into a chopper with halford driving it! pretty gnarly.. for a van commercial.

[shred5]

Great song but not appropriate for a Honda Odyssey... Barry Manilow, Yanni or even U2 fit the car much better -- there is nothing metal about a minivan.

[ckchappell]

The panther is just the icing on the cake of an awesome ad. I want one. It would have been cool to have Halford on the screen pointing at me.

[GhostSabre7]

@ckchappell I think the fact that the GPS said Redemption Rd. was more of the icing rather than the panther.

Don't know why, though.

[Wyndrax]

I think the panther was a bit too much.

But yeah, a fucking killer ad.

[SWEP2AOTC2002]

Those responsible for this blaspheme must pay under blood red skies

[master6of6omens6]

@SWEP2AOTC2002 That's such an underrated album...

[SWEP2AOTC2002]

Blaspheme... nothing less

[gzrmember1976]

jcm 800 or 900 ?

[plowboy6943]

Judas Priest wouldn't lower themselves to do a mini-van commercial.

[Baskadin]

yes too bad they don't have Judas Priest on the screen inside the van....perhaps the royalties were just too high

[chancesdad]

@ batman. No.

[Lurtzman1]

When I saw this commercial I knew the song sounded familiar. Screaming for Vengeance is an epic album.

[yellowscooter]

Drop what you got, coz

The HELLION'S comming in

& YOU OWE IT MONEY!!

This would have made a better Merc Cougar commercial.

[neostryx]

The guy in that commercial has the perfect response. Stare in amazement and drops the milk cause who cares this van is packin' Priest!

[flakyolly]

A minivan where half the cargo room is taken up by an enormous amp? Hell yeah. Does the higher model fill the whole thing with subwoofers? Let's see the hip hop ghetto blasters top the heavy metal minivan, hahah. No one would fucking expect it, the sides pop out, and windows all around shatter with Rob Halford's howling.

[rallyWRX123]

I officially like owning a minivan. Go honda and judas priest!

[PatVanHalen5150]

The first thing I've ever considered liking about any Japmobile, this commericial.

[elvisdustin]

the fucking Disney channel replaced the hellion with the fucking Jonas brothers......

[Lurtzman1]

@elvisdustin really?

[NickTorrance237]

I'm now proud to own a Honda.

[similost]

WTF?!?!?!

Are we going to have to get Lemmy to stomp some sense back into Rob and the boys for selling out to the minivan crowd?

R&R sure isn't R&R any more. The corporate world has made sure of that...

[theamvgirlx]

Most EPIC 31 seconds of my life!!!

[MrZizzybalooba9895]

Actually I do believe the band the are showing on the DVD player is "Steel Panther" however I am not positive.

[Batman8657]

FASTER THAN A BULLET TERRYING SCREAM ENRAGED AND FULL OF ANGER SHE'S HALF MOM AND HALF MACHINE RIDE THE METAL MONSTER BREATHING SMOKE AND FIRE CLOSING IN WITH VENGEANCE SOARING HIIIIGGGHHH SHE IS THE SOCCER MOM THIS IS THE VE-HI-CLE

check out the dude's shirt...Moon Blood World Tour 98...now that's funny.

[j3f2c1]

this music rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UnholyWarcry]

This is no minivan... it's a MANIVAN.

[SWEP2AOTC2002]

@UnholyWarcry no....its just gay

[bubbabeau07]

lol at 0:08 when it flashs the black panther..JP delivering total awesomeness since Honda total lacks awesomeness haha

[judas0105]

Redemption Rd on the GPS... Gotta love it!!!

[outlier1985]

This commercial makes my head hurt... it's one of those things I can watch like 12 times and still cannot fathom how it could possibly be real. JUDAS PRIEST. IN A MINIVAN COMMERCIAL.

You can make the 'MORE LISTENERS = GOOD' excuse, but I don't want someone who had to learn about them through a minivan listening to one of my favorite bands. -.-

I don't blame the band themselves, at least, because in a lot of cases with things like this, it's the record label's call, not the band's.

[shoeme123]

MEH..judas priest...honda...ELECTRIC EYE........AAHHHAHAHAA;DFED;LF­BSDVIQEEPGPBWDPOGHIFHSKJOPQWI.­..*dies from sheer epicness

[ashleygirlofsisters]

WTF the band on the DVD player wasn't even JP...???

[homemikey123]

A Judas Priest song in a minivan commercial?!?!? What's next, Iron Maiden in a women's hygiene ad? Surely this is a sign of the impending apocalypse...

Well said brassmonkey—if this were a Hemi Dodge Challenger, maybe...

[bobisdark]

@homemikey123 Actually "RUN TO THE HILLS" comes to mind when I think of the hygiene of a couple of girls Ive unfortunately encountered!

[BRASSM0NK3Y96]

if they were advertising a better car this commercial would actually be cool

[abcd0067]

The best part of this video is the the navagation showing REDEMPTION RD @ 0:18.  Go Honda!!!!!

[bobisdark]

This was cool. Kinda silly some people are complaining about Hellions use in the ad. Hellion was almost in TOY STORY 3! Maybe theyd have liked that more? Great thing here is some who havent listened to Priest get to hear a bit of them and maybe will want more! If its good for Priest...ITS FUCKING GOOD!

[outlier1985]

@bobisdark But dude... it was for a MINIVAN. I mean, on the level of badass vehicles, the minivan comes in just ahead of 'Moped,' 'Cart pulled by angry Asian man' and 'tricycle.'

As others have said, maybe if it were the Dodge Charger, or SOMETHING with balls. But a minivan... wtf, guys... >.>

[Imurai]

Un... holy... shit!

Worst ad i'e ever seen. It's like adverting a fat and ugly woman in underware... :S

What's worse, it has Judas Priest in it, whoring their art. The world is poorer yet again...

[cooksontrains]

Does it come with studed seats?

[av8r500]

Head to the dealership tomorrow! It is officially cool to drive a minivan when Judas Priest can sell a song to a Honda commercial. I guess Halford and Tipton wanted too much money to appear in it.

[ChadLikesGuitars]

The Marshall in the back makes no sense lol

[KarlHungus00]

Aw fuck. I never thought I would see the day that The Hellion would be used to sell a minivan! That is just disturbing on many levels.

What's next? 'You got another thing comin' to sell Viagra?

[av8r500]

@KarlHungus00 Oh, no. That's reserved for Parental Guidance. . .

[SkyScorpions]

@av8r500 lol nice reference XD

[fullstack2]

What the fuck!!!! The did not use the real band. Are you kidding me that is an insult to the metal God Rob Halford!

[pistachioguy]

Hahahaha! I just watched this commercial on TV and recognized Priest and the Hellion, and Googled it up which led me here - great commercial! LOLOL!

Love Godzilla! Hahahaha! - Fireworks, Marshall amps, Godzilla, fire, and a subliminal puma - hahahahaha!

Whoever came up with this was a genius! LOLOL! - I'm laughing so hard it hurts!

[BMW330i]

Coolest minivan EVER!!! Well, strap a Judas Priest song on anything and I'm probably gonna buy it.

[igotwhips]

Does Marshall make car subs now?

[kurtvp]

what song is this?

[savalegions]

thanks for posting this--the best commercial to date

[Cazz814]

You know I would get a minivan if this song played for it constantly, definitely the most badass car commercial ever.

[gfaris13]

All Hail the Metal Gods.....and Honda!!! And screw new metal. Old Guys Rule!!!

[angsdad]

Best thing about it is, that even though this was 1980 it still kicks the shit out of any metal these days. Nobody can play guitar now like they did in the 80's. Bunch of "no talent" losers. I wanna see the 2010 versions of Yngwie, George Lynch, Vito Bratta, Satch, Vai.... the list goes on. Oh, and if you do have talent bring it to the mainstream like those guys did. Fuck the underground. Bunch of D tuning/ rhythm guitar playing retarded monkeys.

[ShastaPwns]

@angsdad

Old metal was good. But new metal is good, too.

You don't know shit. Listen to Gorod and tell me they're "talentless"

Bahhahah.

[angsdad]

@ShastaPwns I know plenty. I can appreciate Avenged Sevenfold and other bands like them. BUT- they can't bring metal to the mainstream like JP did and "MAKE" people love metal. Aerosmith "Rocks". That album was freakin' metal for the day, and it made people LOVE metal. Gorod isn't bringing people around to metal and the mainstream the way these pioneers did. They broke the top 40 mold, and slapped down 80's bullshit music. Not happening from Gorod.

[tsuei05]

@ShastaPwns Their music is good but their vocals are ridiculously stupid

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@angsdad Fuck the underground?

The underground is where Metal is thriving. The mainstream idiots can have their shitty "Metal" bands like Avenged Sevenfold (< Not even Metal, though) and Panterrible. We'll keep our good, old real Metal, thanks.

[PGspeed88]

@ThazuaBlackarrow

I'll agree that all the best stuff is underground, but are you implying that Judas Priest is better than Pantera and Avenged Sevenfold? You are mentally retarded. Judas Priests main guy was gay, so they automatically suck, no matter what. You really must not know what TRUE underground music is, Racer X, Black Oak Arkansas, Robert Marcello, Tony MacAlpine.

Stop talking.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@PGspeed88 You're a troll; no one who actually listens to Heavy Metal gives a fuck about someone's sexuality. Especially when it comes to Judas Priest, who are one of the best bands around. But I'll humour you. Yes.

Why? Avenged Sevenfold make Metalcore. They're a bunch of fags and their fanbase is full of fags and poseurs. Using your scale, they suck even more. Pantera? A bunch of homoerotic tough guys who made shitty music. Their fans are worthless neanderthals; they suck even more than AS.

[PGspeed88]

@ThazuaBlackarrow

So how does Pantera and Avenged Sevenfold "suck" as you say. Judas Fags use basic chords and nothing special in the songs. AS has some of the hardest percussion things in their songs with pretty good guitar in it. Other than the fact you're a terrorist for not liking Pantera in the first place, they influenced many modern bands today.

Judas Priest is a talentless sell-out anyway, as is proved by this commercial.

[RTpanzertime]

@PGspeed88 uh, Judas Priest kind of invented heavy metal, dumbass. Their great contribution to the genre was the emulation of factory sounds (i.e. power hammers, smelters). Pantera and Avenged Sevenfold would not exist without Judas Priest. Not exist. Period, end of story.

[BDizDaBest]

@PGspeed88 I agree dude, fuck this retarded cock rock. Made by and for no-talent, no-taste ass-clowns.

[MasakoXer]

@BDizDaBest

Hey pussyface.

Go back to your auto tuned pop mainstream bullshit music that's on the radio 24/7.

THAT shit takes no talent.

NO instruments= no talent.

[babadef]

@MasakoXer shut the fuck up elctronica takes talent just as much as metal does. Its all good music. You dont have to hate pop to be a metalhead or vice versa. I enjoy some pop music though metal is my dominant genre.

[babadef]

@MasakoXer have you ever seen videos of deadmau5 play live? As a drummer i can say that looks ridiculously hard to do and it would take me quite a while to learn.

[SceneKidsAreFaggots]

@PGspeed88 Lol you fucking idiot, Judas Priest is the main inspiration for Pantera. Phil Anselmo was in a Judas Priest cover band called Razor White and they covered Judas Priest songs live multiple times.

[MasakoXer]

@angsdad

mainstream is bullshit music.

Buch of jackasses who only do it for the money. They are popular, and fuck popularity.

Underground is where real music is at. know why? cuz we wouldn't appreciate it as much if it were mainstream.

[cubby3o5]

I just saw this on comedy central

[circuitprotector]

you know you're getting old when they start using music for commercials that you used to listen to while drinking beer and driving around....lol

[JasonL77]

@circuitprotector Your comment reminded me of a time about a year & a half ago when I was talking to some people in there early 20's & they were talking about concerts they'd like to see, like Popa Roach, Vans Warped Tour & things like that. I told them that I saw Judas Priest & Whitesnake a few weeks before, & one of them said, "We're not talking about classic rock." CLASSIC ROCK? Bands that I grew up with are now considered classic rock. Thatone hurt just a little bit.

[Sindawe]

@JasonL77 Whats that you say?  Speak into the trumpet please, the years (and concerts) have taken our ears.

Yes, the KickAss bands of our youth have now gone to "Classic Rock" status, and Rob H, Trent R & James H. can all draw on Social Security (or nearly there).

Youth is indeed wasted on the young....

[thereagauze]

@JasonL77 did you break their faggot faces for them?

[mrbungledisco]

They must have a great marketing team for this van. That was sweet.

[danapointtrainer]

PRIEST MAN!!!

[22640cal]

Epic doesn't even to begin to describe this

[coryx678]

I watched this, and seriously considered buying one. Then I remembered I have a nonminivan, and no money. Then I regained conscoiusness. I didn't even know I lost consciousness. Damn good commercial. If it can make me even think about buying a minivan, it did it's job.

[ghm2112]

"Redemption Rd"

Nice touch.

Minivans still suck.

[sajones22079]

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my head nearly exploded when I saw this ad.

[garrettgerbil13]

that .... was beautaful, so much i dont even care if i spelt that wrong

[BlueKazuki]

does the minivan really turn into a panther?

[TomdeArgentina]

@BlueKazuki dude, didn´t you hear the guitar?

[BlueKazuki]

@TomdeArgentina ha, yeah but after the 30th replay you just start to notice things

[cridergsxr]

i'm buying one. priest rules

[MaidenFreak26]

Am I the only one who head bangs every time I see this commercial? >.>

[tgtrmn1]

Are they trying to sell me a minivan...or another Marshall?

[abalvarez]

@tgtrmn1 No... I think they're trying to sell a panther. That's at least what I wanted to buy after seeing this. Damn subliminal messages.

[MRec1124]

@tgtrmn1 lets hope its the marshall

[pasatio]

I saw this for the first time last night. BLOWN AWAY!!! THE HELLION!!!

[BlackHoleSlut]

Metal is DEAD, FAGGOTS

[Bobofjudia]

@BlackHoleSlut nope.

[RIPsanity123]

@BlackHoleSlut Like what you listen to is soooooo much better..... FOGGOT

[Zortoren]

I'm A HHHHHUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE Priest fan here and when I saw that commercial on tv I started to scream I was so excited. Priest is I think becoming more widely known. At first it was the Virgin Mobile commercial with Rob Halford in it nad now its a Honda commercial with Priest in it.

[bonerock1]

I wasn't looking at the TV until I heard the song and then I said to myself..."Fuck Yeah". Anybody posting who sees this as anything but a good thing is a moron! As cool as it is to be a part of the "Underground" metal lifestyle(no matter how big the genre gets, it will always be considered underground)seeing an awesome song by one of the greatest bands of all time being featured in a mainstream commercial should be welcomed. Metalheads of the past are becoming the "Big Wigs" of today.

[FelixtheMetalcat]

Greatest auto commercial ever ! 

[abumefak]

Judas Priest in commercials FTW

[xBOSTONxFxC]

Fucking epic panther!!!!!

[YeyJordan]

Big Judas Priest fan here, but I still have to say...

Oh yey D: A commercial geared towards those teenyboppers who think they're metalheads because they play guitar hero. Also the same crowd to blame for the word "epic" being used in copious and unwarranted amounts.

Well, I guess ya gotta appeal to whatever the biggest retard demographic is nowadays :/

[bonerock1]

@YeyJordan Games like guitar hero and rock band are the reason I can take my 10 year old nephew to an Iron Maiden concert and he will know the songs they are playing. It is time to pass the torch to a new generation of metalheads and in todays world, that means video games,movies and TV.

[banditdesigns]

@YeyJordan- No this is geared to the 40 something soccer dads who want to recapture their youth.

[VivaToddVegas]

Man... Honda definitely learned how to market a product to Gen X soccer Dads! Kudos to whatever ad agency came up with this!! Best minivan commercial EVER!

[cliffthelightning]

EPICEST COMMERCIAL EVER

[aabelaw]

They need maney that badly? And yes, I was at their concert when they opened it by playing "The Hellion - Electric Eye." It's like they reached into one of the too few good momories of my youth and perverted it into a nightmare. Well, about not using the actual band ... if you are talking about the original members ... they are pushing 60 at this point. I guess they coulda used the vintage video footage. That, I woulda loved.

[Guitarplaya668]

pretty funny commercial hahah

bout time they put some decent music on tv!

[Gatzaandr]

No it is a good commercial. It is trying to relate to nostalgia and it also links the real size and benefits of the vehicle. While most people wont care that its Marshall speakers they will relate to the music and other little features of the commercial( Seeing himself as a rock star, rock concert lifestyle). It is relate-able even if you don't know of the band. Everyone gets the rock star image and selling it to men (normally the people who opt on getting an SUV instead) is fantastic.

[Gatzaandr]

[loraljohnson]

The "dude" on the screen in the mini van is the guy that owns it.

It's a fantasy image, of him being a rock star, but he owns a mini van. I mean, know one questioned it wasn't his Marshall 1/2 stack.....

[loraljohnson]

@loraljohnson If you look, it also flashes "Redemption"

[dalewynn1]

I agree, it's awesome they use a great band like JP, but they could have used 1. Masculine vehicle. 2. Show the real artists of the music! What's to be ashamed of? Honda, you're almost there, grow some balls and use real music to steer people towards what the music says!

[PrometheuzReturns]

Why couldnt it be a sports car???? wtf a minivan?

[cliffthelightning]

@PrometheuzReturns Yeah now i want one... its the epic song that sells

[jacobcschick01]

this song should be for a real sports car like a chevy or dodge not a honda and especially not some soccer mom van but i gotta give honda some credit for not doing some lame toyota style commercial with some dipshit suburbia retards talking about how slick their van is

[oncetaken]

Fuck you guys. I iked it. The more Priest I see on TV, the happier I am. And having a trunk big enough for my Marshall is awesome, no matter how lame the rest of the car is.

[AcesHighUptheIrons]

You know what I actually hate it. The commerical......I love that they used Priest but IMO they ruined this song. Watch it and listen again (if your a real Priest fan you will pick it up.....Anyone notice how the idiots who made this commerical "changed" the song. And what morons don't put the band on the TV screen. I hope Priest got a $hitload of money for this, Honda's got deep pockets.

Priest and Maiden Rule !!!!!

[matthewme23]

So this commercial now belongs with the legacy of one of the greatest metal bands of all time?! A Honda odessy?! REALLY?!? Not a Ford Mustang or the new Dodge charger?! Huh...never thought I'd see this day-gettin' old man, I'm gettin' old! (Tipton can't possibly be broke, there is no way that dude is hurtin' for cash...)

[ccgsales]

WTF!? They pay for the rights to use an awesome song, yet they don't use a video clip of the real band in the song?
