How fucking awesome...!

Does the song Painkiller and also probably the entire album perfectly define "Heavy metal" to anybody else here moreso than any other metal album ever released??

I mean the production, the countless 5 octave high metal screams, the twin solos, the riffs, the drumming, the lyrics... ahhhhh!!!! Perfection.
 
Blitzy speaks the truth. Painkiller rules!

The same is true of all the other songs I've heard from that album, such as Nightcrawler, Metal Meltdown and even Touch of Evil. I look forward to hearing the rest of it as soon as my copy of the CD arrives :).

Next of my list of Priest albums to get is Unleashed In the East (remastered) and Screaming For Vengeance. British Steel is already in the post :rock:.

A Touch Of Evil is my favourite Priest track ever :)

Wait, 2nd favourite, I forgot Beyond The Realms Of Death hehe.

"YOU'RE POSSESSING MEEEE!!" <-- Best metal scream ever, and Ripper did a ripper of a job with it live!! (Excuse the pun haha)

Those 2 songs and Living After Midnight were the highlights of the concert for me.
 
My favourite Priest song is "The Sentinel".

Booooorn to avenge, condemned to hell, be not afraid I am the seennnntinel!

Or something like that. It's my fave Priest song, but that doesn't mean I have to know the lyrics, considering I'm not a big fan of the band :)
 
What does everyone think of Defenders of the Faith? I like The Sentinel and Freewheel Burning (Eat Me Alive is good for a laugh too), but what's the rest of that album like?

Crossy, did you mean the British Steel Classic Album DVD or the Brixton concert that Priest recorded for DVD late last year? Not sure when it's being released, but the setlist is up at www.judasprest.com . It looked like quite a show :).

W (soon to join the DVD owner's club- hurrah!)
 
Ohhh Defenders is brilliant! Better than Screaming For Vengeance in my opinion. :)

Rock Hard Ride Free is amazing, Jawbreaker rules, every song rules!! And Heavy Duty with the Defenders Of The Faith outro is the ultimate metal anthem!!!

LETS ALL JOIN FORCES, RULE WITH AN IRON HAND!
AND PROVE TO ALL THE WORLD - METAL RULES THE LAND!!!
WE'RE HEAVY DUTY!!! C'MON LETS SHOW THE WORLD...

WE ARE.... DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH!!
WE ARE.... DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH!!
