A freaking masterpiece! One of the greatest songs of all time, without a doubt. When it comes to metal music there are only 3 other songs I could think of that match the brilliance of this one. Hallowed be thy Name by Iron Maiden, Master of Puppets by Metallica, and War Pigs by Black Sabbath. Without a doubt the 4 greatest metal masterpieces (to me that is).
I first heard Sad Wings and Stained Class back in the early '80s when my older brother copied the two albums onto cassette tape! From the time I heard those albums, I was hooked. I once even travelled down to the far reaches of Cornwall and met the chap who painted the Sad Wings cover, although he confessed to me that he never met the band. Priest will always be a part of me even now as a classically-trained teacher and performer!
This is a classic song by Judas priest. Just like One is a classic tune by Metallica. Starts out slow and then delivers one of the best guitar solos ever. Equal in greatness. And depth and darkness. Words cant describe how this song delivers you.
@laurikaru we are good but how do we communicate the message of Metal Gods to the young generation who get brainwashed into Lday Gaga and Rihanna and Justin Bieber?
I saw Judas Priest perform this song live in 1979 on the Hell Bent For Leather tour; This song is without a doubt, not only the best song put out by Judas Priest, but one the ALL TIME BEST heavy metal songs ever made!! Seriously guys, you need to get past the lyrics; the song is about one individual. No one is suggesting that you kill youself!!
@mikesikorski While I agree with almost everything you said...my personal feeling is that anyone who believes that rock/metal causes people to commit violent acts and/or kill themselves SHOULD kill themselves to support their contention and rid our society of such IDIOCY within a generation or 2--come on morons, do your part for humanity!!!
@slutypet you only get one life, then thats that cutting it shorts not the answer in my opinion. Though I can't say I know your situation and stuff so I cant tell you what to do or not do. I'm just saying life is precious there are hard times and there are good times. And in the words of The Priest on the song deliverin the good you gotta roll with the punches.
glad to see you youngsters enjoying the priest! I started seeing them live in 1988 and I felt like i missed there good years,, but I must say the ram it down tour, painkiller, were great shows,, then halford left and then ripper took over and they were even harder. Judas rising was awesome to take my daughter to and have her stand on top of the chair leaning against me with horns high, rock the priest \w/ \w/

You know what's fucked? This MASTERPIECE song has been on here for 3+ years and only has 28,000 views, but Brittney Pap Smears, or Katy fucking Perry get 50 million views in a week! This planet is fucked, a lot of people need a slap across the face to snap them back into reality! All hail Judas Priest and AWESOME music like this! Fuck the rest of the world if they want to be a bunch of blind sheep and follow trends! \m/
@theraj662 These people are the same sheep that have every episode of americal idol on their DVR and insist lady gagger has talent....they have to be told what to listen to...what to wear...and who to vote for... fuck the lemmings.....we don't want them clogging up ticket sales for the VERY FEW real bands still alive anyway..Up the Irons \m/
@theraj662 i hear ya bro, i saw them with zep in oakland in 77 when no one knew who they were, also the hell bent for leather tour and point of entry tour... even in 77 they were pretty good, no matter what the reviews of that concert were, if you were listening you got a glimpse of the future of hard rock... zep at their "swansong" and JP at their humble beginnings.... glad i was there.... they have so many classic metal songs, even going back to rockarolla and sad wings....JP forever..
@theraj662 lol shutup, you're like the thousandth person to complain about how "good" music is ignored these days. The reality of the situation things fall out of popularity and people move on to new things. I guarantee you in 30 years people will barely remember bands like Judas Priest and somewhat recognize say Lady Gaga. The new is always the now, kind of unfortunate but oh well
@ambidextrousswordmen I agree, in 30 years people will still remember Priest and somewhat MAYBE recognize Lady Gaga, because Lady G is unique, and although I am not a fan of LG, I can recognize the merits in her. The stuff that gets memorized and revered over time is the good stuff, and the trash, rightly so, forgotten. 30 yrs from now , NO ONE will remember or care about tripe like Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, etc.
@theraj662 because Katy Perry has nice boobs and people who watch them can only think with their penises..But even the 3 motherfucker have some brains
@theraj662 Who cares man!! This music is not for the masses!! I don't think Judas Priest gives a rats ass on how many people watch their videos on Youtube!!! They have nothing to prove to anyone!!
Would you really want the idiots who listen to Britney Spears listening to this stuff? I wouldn't. I define myself as the opposite of those trendy losers.
@theraj662 although you're right, i'm sure that if youtube existed back in the 70's we would be seeing a lot of rock and pop from back then viewed in the millions.
@theraj662 take heart,my man and remember that "disco duck" was a big hit in the 70's. just cause the sheeple out there listen to today's musical moose drool doesn't mean it can't be used as toilet paper.
@SharinganMan You may be thinking of Styx's "Suite Madame Blue" which was from 1975. This song was from 1978. I have no idea if one influenced the other, but I always thought the beginning of this song sounded like "Suite Madame Blue."
@kekeoki123 It is a fucking great solo. I was thinking almost the same. I was about to write something about the guitar solo and it was already here. I can never accept anything in music to be better than Nazareth. If I wasn't such a hardcore Nazareth fan I would probably declare this the best solo of all time. I love Nazareth's guitar solo's. Some of the best ever recorded/ played. The thing I love about both Nazareth and JP is the vocal range of the singers, and the versatility of the bands.
Ahhh, back when true metal was tuned to "E" and guitar solos gave you an out-of-body experience. Epic track!!! One of the best Priest songs, if not songs period, ever written!
in life, some things aren't meant to be duplicated .. this song, to include the works of Glenn, Rob, and KK, only come by once in a lifetime .. let's give thanks that we were alive and witness to such an achievement .. thank you God for letting me be a fan of Priest
@SPPoncho88 for sure.... I saw Priest for the first time in 1978 on this tour..and maybe a dozen times total... I saw Iron Maiden open for them on the Screaming for Vengeance tour in 1982....Have seen Maiden 30 times .. in 2000 Halford solo opened for them. These 2 bands have been showing how it's done for 35 years...yet, so few get it right
@WrathchildNH I know but that is an old comment, but you are so right. I am only 16, yet I love Priest and Maiden. I saw Maiden live back during Somewhere Back In Time, and I now aspire to see Priest during the Epitaph tour. I can't wait. Even though KK has left, I still want to experience their greatness live. My one chance, and I cannot blow it. Undoubtedly the two greatest bands ever.
@AncientMariner22 and I felt like i missed there good years,, but I must say the ram it down tour, painkiller, were great shows,, then halford left and then ripper took over and they were even harder. Judas rising was awesome to take my daughter to and have her stand on top of the chair leaning against me with horns high, rock the priest \w/ \w/ see them while you still can
im a 90s kid and i listen to ths i am so cool my friernds take the piss out me for liking ths kind of music and im like ths had no computers to make it sound better even tho it duz not need fixed LOL ferever rock and metel
Most of the guitar parts for this song (excluding the solos) were written by Priest's drummer at the time, Les Binks. One day during the recording of Stained Class, the left-handed drummer came into the studio, picked up a guitar (flipped it over) and came up with the killer riff. This was to be Binks' only songwriting credit during his time with Judas Priest. Thank You Mr. Binks!
The place is all too familiar, most often where i live...take this world with all its sin...for its not fit for livin in...days and days i sit in silence, the life i have is in my mind, there i can be safe to speak with my own kind...or not...as the case may be...but its safer still than the world at large, and some day maybe i will begin again...the problem is no one wins...and forever is a very long time to be alone in one's mind, the only kiss being felt is the wind's kiss goodbye....
@lyon1535 its far from emo...yet what music doesn't evoke emotion, or speak to parts of us that words alone cannot touch? Its a great metal ballad...there is quite a difference. It defies labels, it just speaks to the heart.
It's so cool, in my Psychology class, we're learning about subliminal messages and my teacher spent 10 minutes talking about the supposed one off this album and the lawsuit against Priest. I have never been so proud of a teacher before hahaha
Somewhere out in the deepest reaches of the Galaxy, a little green man has tuned in to a new signal that took years to reach his aural orofice..and he raises his little fingers and Di-os, bobbing his heed and wibbling around the pod, laying his large and visceral head back... utters a scream like Halfords,,, The neighborhood will never be the same again now that Juniors discovered Rock!
heavy rock at its best!....early priest up until killing machine, rocked the balls off everyone else at the time!! cheers for the upload, ''look out here's star breaker,cruisin into town!".....
Stained Class IS the best JP record. Sin After Sin is a VERY close 2nd place and Sad Wings is right behind them. Back then, NOBODY sounded like JP. (76-79)
Sure, there was Black Sab and other VERY few exponents of metal, which was not even a widely used term. The sound of JP was unique. I've been a fan since Sad Wings came out, my first concert of theirs: Sunday, Oct. 14, 79, front center, pressed against the fence.
Then the bandwagon and copycats started rollin' with "British Steel"
i wish i was 16 years old back in 78 .when i was just 2 years old then.and grab my uncles beegees and other disco shit albums and burn them to the ground .this music was way ahead of all the crap going around that era .viva judas priest
Im glad iv seen these guys play at least once, cos by the time they might come round again, well, they might not come round again XD Saw them 2009 feb 17th, manchester apollo, and what a show it was, halfords voice has got actually better since he joined back, so it was an honour to have him metres in front of me screaming painkiller! :D:D
@ultimatemanofwar cause people like listening to poser shit like nu metal and metalcore, i personally dont hate them, its way easier just dont listen to them, but its a shame that people who thinks they are metalheads and they dont even know bands like saxon, judas priest, diamond head, UFO.. it's a pity dont ya think?
halfords voice is very unique, idk what anyone says no one sounds as good as him. - kick ass song - used to listen to it way back in the day - thx for posting - brings back memories
A freaking masterpiece! One of the greatest songs of all time, without a doubt. When it comes to metal music there are only 3 other songs I could think of that match the brilliance of this one.

It's so cool, in my Psychology class, we're learning about subliminal messages and my teacher spent 10 minutes talking about the supposed one off this album and the lawsuit against Priest. I have never been so proud of a teacher before hahaha

Same with me! It put me into a whole bluesier phase! Then I got really into Friedman, Becker, Lynch and it changed again....

Somewhere out in the deepest reaches of the Galaxy, a little green man has tuned in to a new signal that took years to reach his aural orofice..and he raises his little fingers and Di-os, bobbing his heed and wibbling around the pod, laying his large and visceral head back... utters a scream like Halfords,,, The neighborhood will never be the same again now that Juniors discovered Rock!

Stained Class IS the best JP record. Sin After Sin is a VERY close 2nd place and Sad Wings is right behind them. Back then, NOBODY sounded like JP. (76-79)
Sure, there was Black Sab and other VERY few exponents of metal, which was not even a widely used term. The sound of JP was unique. I've been a fan since Sad Wings came out, my first concert of theirs: Sunday, Oct. 14, 79, front center, pressed against the fence.
Then the bandwagon and copycats started rollin' with "British Steel"

@MeanrBeanr British Steel was great and all, but what made it "the greatest"? When you think of Sad Wings and this album, it dosent compare.

Im glad iv seen these guys play at least once, cos by the time they might come round again, well, they might not come round again XD Saw them 2009 feb 17th, manchester apollo, and what a show it was, halfords voice has got actually better since he joined back, so it was an honour to have him metres in front of me screaming painkiller! :D:D

@ultimatemanofwar cause people like listening to poser shit like nu metal and metalcore, i personally dont hate them, its way easier just dont listen to them, but its a shame that people who thinks they are metalheads and they dont even know bands like saxon, judas priest, diamond head, UFO.. it's a pity dont ya think?
