wow!!! these cunts attack non-corporate artist for subliminal messages to no end.....nintendo has more subliminal messages in a start-up screen, and we still love them for it, so what gives?
In case you people can't tell, this is from the mid-80s when the PMRC was freaking out over suggestive song lyrics, acting as if it's a new thing (utter bullshit - refer to Cab Calloway, jazz singer from the 30s whose favorite topics are weed and sex). Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Prince, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were all being called evil Satanists bent on controlling your children's minds.
one thing like his can happen only in U.S.A. where the freedom is everyday killed. dosen't mean nothing if U.S.A. is called "the land of the freedom" becouse is only a bollocks bullshit.
@hardwirecars ahhaah free? a place where if you don't have money and need an hospital you can die on the road,.. this is not freedom this is capitalistic dictatur, without any form of human dignity, becouse the money are most important than a human life. ...

Fucken bitch! This faggot lied without turning red! Such motherfuckers kills thousands of teenagers and go unpunished. They deserves life imprisonment.
@sbzombie69 its stil this bad just not in the media anymor. iwish i wanan see pussy ass bieber on trial for child pornography about babys in his songs, could u imgaine him in this situation lol
Actually, the bible is in the bestseller section. Religion is splattered all over world history! See most wars before the 1700's. Ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition? I am not a religious person, but I'm educated. "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." Blaise Pascal (circa 1650).
Okay if you listen to a song and try and commit suicide and you end up in the hospital, and your freind ends up dead then fault is your own fucking fault dont blame the band, blame yourself for being a whinny little bitch, damn THIS TRIAL WAS COMPLETE BULLSHIT! no oneelse thinks of suicide when listening to this fucking stupid shits.
@ALDabbagh shut up open a fucking history book and you'll see that it's bullshit now go fuck yourself doushbag... and you know what respect begins when a person who have a religion shut the fuck up about it... By the way, i'm not insulting the religions i'm only saying that it's an old way of thinking and living... I'm insulting the people who practice it and annoy the other people about it, just like you, fool!
fuck religions, it kills more people than saving some and everyone knows it... we're in 2012 come on wake up, god is bullshit created by homo sapiens because they wanted to find where they came from...
@deathseb FUCK YOU YOU SON OF A BITCH . . try to respect other people you fucking IDIOT . . .yes . . . IDIOT . . . TOO LAZY to look . . .see . ... observe life in many angles
acording to your analysis you have no brains because i cant see them . . am i right . . I believe what only i can see. . thus you have no brains
I'm also a Christian and I have been listening to metal since i was 10 back in the 70's. The kind of music one listens too has nothing to do with any kind of religion.
The people that took Priest to court for this are nothing more than stupid and those types of numb nuts come from all walks of life.
Who the fuck did send them to a judge for a song? who was stupid enough for that shit? Fucking religious people? always trying to be the funny clowns in History..jerks!!!...great song anyway. GO JUDAS PRIEST!!!!
Just so the youngsters know,in the 80's,some metal bands were thought of as "Satanic" & accused of putting backwards or subliminal messages in their music to entice "evil". Bands with Satanic imagery/lyrics like Venom,King Diamond,Possessed etc were known as "devil worshippers". Motley Crue's "Shout at the devil" album cleverly had "Caution:May contain backward messages" on it. They got SO popular. It actually helped the topic get hot & out of hand to the point of what you're watching here.
Ken McKenna IS A PROPAGANDA SPREADER AND A WEIRDO!!!!
I bet Rob was a little embarassed to sing acapella, and you can see the clip where the crowd in the courtroom laughs. with rob not at rob BUT WHY DID THIS JUDGE GO THIS FAR? HOW STUPID!!! one of the guys who blew hois face off ended up on a TRACES OF DEATH video (but the reason why isnt on it) then the video goes into R BUDD DWYER!!!
this trial was because some dude thought the song was telling him something. he preceded to take a shotgun and kill himself. The outcome was a disfigued face. He survived the blast.
all this is is a corrupt shithole blame judas priest or ozzy. go fuck yourselfs weird christian weirdos the only ones who come up with sick things is yous. and we can't blame ozzy for christian priest fucking little kids up the hole.
@laiholapso As a Christian and an artist, I would say I am more wierd because I am an artist than because I am a Christian :). I do not believe in censorship in the arts and though my Christian God would say to think upon things that are pure, holy and just, he is all for freedom of choice. I believe everyone should respect other people's perspective and choice even if they don't fully understand them. As far as a priest molesting kids, we can't blame God either. Peace.
@TemporaryInVanity you are christian. but when you dig deep into the church walls their are sects involved. being a Christian is ok its even good . its Christian sects that are the problem. and with blaming ozzy for molestation performed by priest. I was indicating that Christian sects who accuse people of Satanism usually have the worst since on their conscience.
@laiholapso I am familiar with the history of Christianity.I believe blanket statements about any group of people ought to be spoken and received with caution.Christianity is about one's relationship with Jesus and with others.Jesus walked in the Spirit.Christians are not always mindful of following after Christ in this manner or care to.God even says those who think they are followers will be surprised to hear from Him-Depart I knew you not.Not an easy walk-we are scrutinzed alot:)
@TemporaryInVanity I love what you say here ...very well put ..though i fear lost on a lot of people who dont understand the sentiment . I dont qualify either ..as my motives are , ego based and selfish most of the time ..i have to change that with selfless work for my brothers {and sisters } here on earth ..and that should { i hope } wipe out the harm i have caused through my self centredness ..most people think i'm a great guy -
when the only person i really want to impress is my greatmaker
@TheMichaelseymour Thank you.You and Rstar95 have been kind to me and I appreciate it.Being a Christian is not a sprint or a bunch of sprints-though great warm ups-but a marathon.If I may, I feel it is more important how you define Christian if you are trying to impress your greatmaker.2Tim2:15"Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Circumcise your heart and cast off evil.And who is your brother?Love
@TemporaryInVanity O look a christian on youtube that isn't trying to force their religon on us and actually believes god gives people freedom of choice. Why are Christians like you so rare. I wouldn't dislike them so much if more were like you. Polite, and makes sense. I am Agnostic by the way.
@Rstar095 I don't believe Christians like me are rare.I just think you catch them on their bad day:]I could write a book on how and why I believe Christians tend to offend people.We are all called to witness but not all are called to preach.This is a confusing concept I believe for alot of Christians.Not all Christians are called to preach, there are different gifts and services.Legalism is another. Memory...as we forget we are free from the law yet expect everyone to obey-God's Grace
@Rstar095 continuing..covers a multitude of sin. We obey the law because God first loved us and our heart has changed - it's a personal thing...not a forced thing.Pride - self love over the love of others.We are so eager to "witness" to be a good Christian we forget to love the listener by hearing.Institutionalized...people are eager to conform.Fearful...afraid to be set apart even within Christiandom itself...I pondered this offensive myself. I am Christian by the way. :) Peace
@Rstar095 define christian? Metal lyrics bang on about all the cliched stuff of evil,,and when pressed say"its just image - just messin '..well , fuck that - i want to believe in what i listin to - i want sincerity and insight -not cartoon fantasy land for 14 y/o spotty males ..if your so passionate about "sentinels, beast's ,war pigs, pipers , vipers , babylon ,..and then opt out of "owning" your lyrics cos dumb ass ignorant little boys -who never even opened the bible -but love the images-
@TheMichaelseymour might not buy your stuff...that smacks of insincerety to me.
Evil , subtle shit does exist ..and your dio's , gillans , ozzy etc , etc know it ..but dont want to look uncool ..and know they would cut their dollars right down by more than half . i still like it - but it is obvious that singers with soul ..want to rip out passionate lyrics ..so, for example , next time you here a dio track -he MEANS what he's sayin kids.
Just cos he denys this makes him a deciever , aye.
@TheMichaelseymour shut your ass up, I will listen to their lyrics Hmm Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, Crazy Train, No More Tears. I feel possesed by the "dark one" aka the one made up to make sure your a good boy
@TheMichaelseymour Sell-out artist? Naw. Never. The problem lies in not teaching kids how to reason and discern. Artists create from their experiences and knowledge.Some posess the ability to create from the experiences of others as intensely as if experienced by themselves.I don't believe in censorship in the arts partly because an artist needs to release what they feel - good, bad or ugly.The work is about the artist, how he is trying to relate to others and they to him.
@TemporaryInVanity ok..i see you think i am attacking this" artistic freedom " thing -
i'm not actually ...i myself have played in all types of bands and genres - inc- metal
This band was one of my favs - i'm not just a fly by night obserever ...that said , i dont have time to address this issue ...but will later. My main beef is not content ...its conviction ..and i know more about these artists than most - having avidly followed them from the earliest days- i will reply to you later.
@TheMichaelseymour This is the meeting point for an artist to be in relationship with others.An opening of a converstion.Fakers don't get far.Artists keep it real as it is about emotion and truth.Their truth.Your perspective smells of censorship to me.I believe censorship places judgement on an artist.You might as well cut off his hands.Evil exists as does good.Shall we burn Tolken and C.S. Lewis as their are beasts in their novels. Teach children how to reason and discern.
@TheMichaelseymour Just because the artist feels that way or believes it doen't mean we need to be blind followers. Fault the artist for being who he is and courageous to be honest with himself and the world - Never! God forbid! Do I believe in artist responsibility? -Absolutely, but not all artists do or have the same standard of what's responsible. Sorry...got me going on this one. I must admit this is how I ended up here - watching John Denver testify on censorship.LOL:)
@Rstar095@TheMichaelseymour Boys!Boys! Wow.:)It is interesting to me how Christians can be high and mighty yet Jesus was meek and lowly.Who is Rob Halford? The soft spoken man you see here on the witness stand or the man you see on stage? As a visual artist, I have cretaed "dark" pieces.I believe one's creativity can only come from the "Great Creator."I believe artists who believe their power and creative passion come from elsewhere are decieved. 2b meek and lowly w/power=beautiful.
@Rstar095 In your humble opinion, Christianity is a bunch of bullshit. In my humble opinion, you haven't opened enough history books to find out that it is not. Love ya. Muuuhhh!
@Rstar095 Really?!! That is a distorted view since you commented to me twice now. Suit yourself. I won't be flagging you. Was it the virtual kiss and virtual affection that made you uncomfortable? Love ya. Muuuhhh!
I'm studying History A Level and I think Christianity(+ all other religions) are bullshit...what do History books have to do with religion? The Bible is in the Fiction section, not Factual History o_0
I loved this whole crazy, stupid witch hunt. What I remembetr is them always saying that the song had a "do it" in it, but never had anything else that said what the hell you were suppose to do lol. Totally ridiculous.
Dinosaurs will come out from underground; antichrist is a white gay man with red eyes; mark of the antichrist is a green electronic tattoo with sixes that is given when one stretches their hand to receive a new small gray world passport; ufos=demons=aliens=ascended masters=ghosts=channeled entities=dead relatives during seances; atlantis is underneath mariana trench; china will attack russia; don't worship the antichrist; don't take his mark; don't go into a ufo ship under any circumstances.
@guitarfreakizoid some stupid dudes shot themselves listening to Stained Class. Song "Better By You Better Than Me" (which by the way is a COVER and not a Priest song) was said to have subliminal messages, saying "do it!" and things like that. As Halford himself said: "do what? mow the lawn?
Very important trial for heavy metal because the fact that Priest got acquitted made metal freer. Had they been charged, music would be much more censored now.
anyway...originally this song is by great band Spooky Tooth... some people really see evil everywhere...i'm not sure that religions are good for humanity...
@WatTyler13 Believe me, we are trying. We are less than the 8 % though. And the fundies are the ones that scream persecution. That what fucks with my head.
The Dennisegg is using elementary trolling techniques. Probably why nobody is really biting. Dennis you need to be a more believable troll. We can tell your heart is not in your attempt to get a response. Go practice and come back when you're ready.
@woodykeller yes, my heart is in it. after watching that documentary, i really do hate judas priest for what they did to those young boys. they destroyed their lives and their families lives and should be held accountable. if they were not satanists then why is the band name, "judas" ? and if you play the record backward, it says, "get the gun, get the gun..shoot shoot !"
@TheDennisegg At least your not a hypocrite. But I must ask, do you even hate Classical music? That aside, I've hear the song, forwards and backwards, and I haven't heard any subliminal messages in it. Things like that are only there is you WANT them to be. Sorry to point that out to you.
Judas Priest and Manowar are my pride of being a real man, I am excited, they are hard, are coherent, are PURE HEAVY METAL, true to their fans. YOU ARE THE BEST
@TheDennisegg Thankfully you have to have REAL evidence to convict people. As well as that, is it just rock music, or are other things with far worse content in the songs, such as rap music, where they talk about raping women, stealing and gang violence, etc. That should be censored because it to could be seen a "brainwashing"?
@SkyandEifer1986 yes, all of it should be censored. i hate all music. if you play the song backwards, it says "get the gun, get the gun..shoot shoot!"
I remember when this happened. The Eighties were a confusing time for a lot of us! It's ridiculous what happens when a handfull of influential holy rollers raise a stink over trivial things like this! This had to be hard for Rob. Add to that the stress of still being in the closet at the time and it's a wonder he kept it together! Rob, you have my deepest respect!!
@thudor1 I always draw incredulous looks from kids these days when I tell them who spearheaded the whole "OMG it's Teh Devil's Music and It Makes People Wanna Have Sex and/or Commit Suicide so We Need to Ban It!!1" hysteria in the 80s: Tipper Gore, wife of a certain oh-so-progressive-and-liberal politician named Al. Also, search for "frank zappa congress" on YouTube for hilarity related to this subject.
@ozzyscruggs1 i was watchin metal: a headbangers journey and twisted sister went to court for his hit song i wanna rock, cuz people thout he was crazy from the way he looked. back in the day every disagreed with heavy metal
@inextremus2 oh it was real. alot of bands had to do it aswel because of parents getting upset over their children listening to metal it was a disgrace .
All you dumbasses out there. First off the subliminal message theory is completely insane. 2nd of all, this band was so ahead of its time and was really the primary pioneer in heavy metal. I realize Black Sabboth came first, but Priest influenced metal the most. I am 40 now...but I literally grew up through grade school listening to this band 4 hours per day! I miss those times when music would give me gooseflesh and amphetamine-like induced sensations. WHAT A BAND!!!
metal is still being demonized as having subliminal messages or blaming judas priest forthem 2 kids committing suicide,those kids must of had problems already..stupid fascist people wanna censor everything they dont agree with
@axn36 Such stupid songs? I would like to see you going platinum on your records... I would like to see what you listen too, probably that mainstream bullshit. Oh, and by the way.... I would love to see you personally so I could slap you so hard, your whore of a mother could feel it. Fuck you

Evil , subtle shit does exist ..and your dio's , gillans , ozzy etc , etc know it ..but dont want to look uncool ..and know they would cut their dollars right down by more than half . i still like it - but it is obvious that singers with soul ..want to rip out passionate lyrics ..so, for example , next time you here a dio track -he MEANS what he's sayin kids.
Just cos he denys this makes him a deciever , aye.

@TheMichaelseymour Sell-out artist? Naw. Never. The problem lies in not teaching kids how to reason and discern. Artists create from their experiences and knowledge.Some posess the ability to create from the experiences of others as intensely as if experienced by themselves.I don't believe in censorship in the arts partly because an artist needs to release what they feel - good, bad or ugly.The work is about the artist, how he is trying to relate to others and they to him.

@TemporaryInVanity ok..i see you think i am attacking this" artistic freedom " thing -
i'm not actually ...i myself have played in all types of bands and genres - inc- metal
This band was one of my favs - i'm not just a fly by night obserever ...that said , i dont have time to address this issue ...but will later. My main beef is not content ...its conviction ..and i know more about these artists than most - having avidly followed them from the earliest days- i will reply to you later.

@TheMichaelseymour This is the meeting point for an artist to be in relationship with others.An opening of a converstion.Fakers don't get far.Artists keep it real as it is about emotion and truth.Their truth.Your perspective smells of censorship to me.I believe censorship places judgement on an artist.You might as well cut off his hands.Evil exists as does good.Shall we burn Tolken and C.S. Lewis as their are beasts in their novels. Teach children how to reason and discern.

@TheMichaelseymour Just because the artist feels that way or believes it doen't mean we need to be blind followers. Fault the artist for being who he is and courageous to be honest with himself and the world - Never! God forbid! Do I believe in artist responsibility? -Absolutely, but not all artists do or have the same standard of what's responsible. Sorry...got me going on this one. I must admit this is how I ended up here - watching John Denver testify on censorship.LOL:)

@Rstar095 @TheMichaelseymour Boys!Boys! Wow.:)It is interesting to me how Christians can be high and mighty yet Jesus was meek and lowly.Who is Rob Halford? The soft spoken man you see here on the witness stand or the man you see on stage? As a visual artist, I have cretaed "dark" pieces.I believe one's creativity can only come from the "Great Creator."I believe artists who believe their power and creative passion come from elsewhere are decieved. 2b meek and lowly w/power=beautiful.

@guitarfreakizoid some stupid dudes shot themselves listening to Stained Class. Song "Better By You Better Than Me" (which by the way is a COVER and not a Priest song) was said to have subliminal messages, saying "do it!" and things like that. As Halford himself said: "do what? mow the lawn?
Very important trial for heavy metal because the fact that Priest got acquitted made metal freer. Had they been charged, music would be much more censored now.

@woodykeller yes, my heart is in it. after watching that documentary, i really do hate judas priest for what they did to those young boys. they destroyed their lives and their families lives and should be held accountable. if they were not satanists then why is the band name, "judas" ? and if you play the record backward, it says, "get the gun, get the gun..shoot shoot !"

@TheDennisegg At least your not a hypocrite. But I must ask, do you even hate Classical music? That aside, I've hear the song, forwards and backwards, and I haven't heard any subliminal messages in it. Things like that are only there is you WANT them to be. Sorry to point that out to you.

All you dumbasses out there. First off the subliminal message theory is completely insane. 2nd of all, this band was so ahead of its time and was really the primary pioneer in heavy metal. I realize Black Sabboth came first, but Priest influenced metal the most. I am 40 now...but I literally grew up through grade school listening to this band 4 hours per day! I miss those times when music would give me gooseflesh and amphetamine-like induced sensations. WHAT A BAND!!!
