Love this one. One of the most beautiful songs during the ripper era. The solo ist just PERFECT! This song, bullet train and cathedral spires were worth the ripper era, WONDERFUL! METAL MESSIAH!
I remember back in 2001 when Priest announced the track names to each of the songs on Demolition. Strangely enough, the chorus of Metal Messiah sounds remarkably similar to how I had pictured it sounding based on the title. What I did not expect was the rapped verses. That sure pissed off the mulletheads, but not me. What a contrast between the Faith No More-esque rapping and the Dio-like chorus. I would love to hear Ripper and Rob trading lines in the verses and teaming up on the chorus...
Yeah I can't either. A few songs from Demolition and Point of Entry are like, nowhere to be found. I've heard a few of them on radio sites, but I can't find them on youtube. Not sure why.
Anyway, this is a great song. I usually don't notice the bass in music, but it's really strong in this song. I like that. I miss the days when you didn't have to have the ears of a god to pick out one sound from the other.
from all the tim's era three songs were good and i see people comparing it t painkiller..wow?hope u get over the bird flu and come back to reality...even britney spears is better than this!even a prostitute with siffilis is more attractive than owens era!
Wow this song takes me back to 2001. I was just starting out High school. Fuckin' awesome days. Soon after that, i got to see Priest supporting this album (w/Anthrax opening up, my FIRST show!).
@corleone8671 Demolition is my favorite Judas Priest Album I don't really like Jugulator though. What about Angel of Retribution isn't that heavy also? Painkiller is probably there heaviest with Halford
I couldn't really get into Demolition, except maybe for this song, What's my Name, Machine Man, and Bloodsuckers. I liked Jugulator a little bit more than Demolition mainly because it had a thrashy feel. Angel of Retribution is pretty heavy as well, but it gets way too slow in the second half of the album.
@corleone8671 Judas Priest said that for their final world tour they would play at least one song from each of their albums as part of the setlist. would that count Demolition and Jugulator? I doubt but its worth a thought
They might , but I highly doubt it. If they do they'll probably play Cathedral Spires and One on One since they're the most popular of the Owen's era.
@Honza90s im glad wmg (im not capitilizing it because they're not important) hasn't viewed it yet. I dont think they even own it, SPV does. SPV also owns Jugulator but all of those songs are on youtube. and this guy admited he didnt own this. it dosnt make any since at all.
@FireGoldWolf Yeah I beleve Priest does have rights to those albums since tracks from all the albums were released on a huge compleation album and Priest picked the songs for it too.
one of the few good songs with the ripper. Demolition and Jugulator sounds to me like Metallica, theres nothing bad about that but i like the old style of priest more. The old stuff with Rob Halford. Like the legendary Painkiller-album \m/
