Bands knew how to put on a show back in the 80's! Huge stages, tons of lights and pyro, you got a real visual spectacle for you dollar in those days. It was sad to see shows getting scaled back when the 90's came in. It was almost boring at times. Thanks for posting this, as it's not easy to find video footage of the Defenders show with the full stage.
@rustyrobato93 This Fucking matters?? Who cares if Rob is gay?? The only thing that matters is their music, and Judas Priest is the best fucking heavy metal band in heavy metal history
@jorfp1204 Yea,I got over it too! Freddy Mecury was gay also,but Queen rocked,as well !!! ("Under Pressure" was a bad ass song !!!) ALWAYS loved Judas Preist music.My FAVORITE metal of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!
@rustyrobato93 This Fucking matters?? Who cares if Rob is gay?? The only thing that matters is their music, and Judas Priest is the best and most fucking important heavy metal band in music history
@rustyrobato93 i checked your channel, bcuz i was curioius at the cause of your aggression. I see now, youre a gamer. A lowly gamer with no friends and numerous failures in life.
@GOGMOTIS yeah, I don't know if this happened to you, but some guys at my school make fun of me for being a metalhead. Then again, they listen to RAP and techno shit, that's probably why they're as smart as a bag of nails.
Fans of metal should check out VSD on youtube. VSD- Mental Breakdown, Conformity Sucks, Phantasmagoria, Girl troubles, and the classic Kill Your kids. long live metal!!!!!
Deadly as the viper Peering from its coil The poison there is coming to the boil Ticking like a time bomb The fuse is running short on the verge of snapping if it's caught And all the pressure that's been building up For all the years it bore the load The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort Ready to explode Jawbreaker Crouching in the corner Wound up as a spring Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering Muscles are all contorted Claws dug in the dirt Every ounce of fiber on alert
no shit man it's like people expect something from him, when all he does is make us exceptional music for them which is his job and what he loves.
fuck those who must to relate to someone to respect them. those ppl-magazine reading knuckleheads should just stick to mainstream crap, cuz they piss me off. at least him being queer filters out the retards and keeps the loyal fans. its not like halford runs around stage nude or wears spandex. thats my 2 bits. long live the metalgod.
Jawbreaker has 2 meanings even Halford said. Many of the songs Priest has have double meaning, the other meaning of Jawbreaker is ment to be about a person that has had alot of pressure and suffering and is ready to explode and breaks somebodys face
Here's a Halford Quote: " 'Jawbreaker' is about cocksucking. Let me think what some of the words are... Things like 'waiting to recoil', and - oh god, let me think... Anyway, it was all to do with a dick. An erect dick. It was just so blatantly obvious to me, or for another gay man. What's a 'jawbreaker'? It's a big dick. For a straight man, it's, 'Oh, man, are you gonna smash me in the face and break my jaw?'."
You know what, if that is what the song means to you then that is what it is. It's all up to you, so just enjoy a great tune. I myself always thought it was about BJs, I just figured some beautiful girl was the BJ-er and i was the bj-ee. It's all in how you want to interpret it. Great band, great tune.
LOL - Well I see your point, but songs are to be interpreted by the listener, you go right ahead and listen to it as a a hero who smashes faces in. i have VIP tickets to Priest coming in August and I hope they do this song, good luck to ya and keep ROCKIN!!!!!!

Alot of Priest's well known songs about sex. I hate to admit it but I always had to block out that Rob was gay. Just the image of two males doing what the lyrics were expressing made me ill when I was very very young. Very fun stuff to play when you learning the guitar.

I was at this concert although I don't remember much of it. All I know is that I enjoyed it very much. I've been watching this video over and over. It rocks. Rob seems relaxed and pronounces his words well. Kickass!
this is excellent, been waiting to see footage from this tour for years, defenders of the faith is a great album , check out the saxon videos from live at wacken 2001 ,excellent stuff also.
Jawbreaker rocks, but The Sentinel is the jewel on this album. I saw them on this tour. I think I got whiplash from bangin my head so much. The metal hellion is rather Spinal Tappish though. lol.
absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
