Recently, I found out that my mom was a former Judas Priest fan. Apparently, she used to go to their concerts and she had this "Judas Priest" jacket thing. This kinda freaked me out because I always knew my mom to be the nice kind of woman, I guess nice people can be heavy metal fans. Considering my dad is a Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, and Rush fan, I'm not too surprised I guess.
Anyhow, I didn't really figure out about Judas Priest until Iron Maiden, which I didn't find out about until Black Sabbath. Electric eye, the first song that I heard by Judas Priest, came as a pleasant surprise. The guitar riffs were pretty awesome. I personally like the song "Painkiller" the best. The beginning with the drums and guitar really makes a great base for the vocals and melody to chime in. Rob Halford has a crazy high voice. I have no idea how he makes a third octave C# sound good, but miraculously, he does. If y'all are interested, here's the link.
I guess this song is an acquired taste, if you want something more likable on the first go, perhaps "Breaking The Law" is a better option. There's no high screaming and a more polished feel. Here's the link for that one too. (Sorry it's all vevo, but I guess the actual music video is worth the advertisements =])
