This is the Holy Grail of songs for me. It is a true masterpiece, the incredibly relatable and profoundly deep lyrics, Rob's delivery, the run on the drums, bass axe pounding perfect like the heart, Glenn's solo reaching inside your soul, and KKs solo laying you too waste. Incredibly this is not the only masterpiece produced by the collaboration within Judas Priest it is but one of many.... Heres to you Metal God's and thank you
Im drunk. This somg made me realize that i need to talk to my father while hes still alive. His ill, and we havent talk more more than a decade. I want some closure before he dies. I want to settle and understand things, or to even explain himself before his gone. I owe him my life. But i want answers. Im typing this because i want to end my hate. I just dont know how.
Try saying "Hello Dad". While on good terms with him I lost my Dad 10/2 to COPD. He lost the ability to speak due to it shortly before entering the hospital three weeks before. If he rejects you at least you made the effort. Be proud in knowing you tried.
I understand . My father died 6month ago. We haven't talked for 30 years ,yeah it's a Long time, but he lived forty miles away,me or my brother or did my father reached out because of the history. But now it's too late. Go say hello, even if it is all you say
Do it! I had a rough relationship with my dad, he passed 2 years ago, I sat beside him as he died and I didn't say a fucking word, I regret that immensely and have to live with it...
Don't talk the fuck up in a YT comment, man. Go, and talk with your father asap. You need it. He could to agree, or not, whit that. It does not matter, this is for you. Good luck my friend
listening to this song makes me remember im not the only one in the world suffering and gives me strength and courage to stand inside the gates of the void and warn those approaching to turn back for theres no return from this place..
If I could die today without pain...I would in a heartbeat, sometimes the reality of this world is just too much for me to live with, especially crimes against children. We have learned nothing from the past!
I had a live recording of this I taped off the radio back in the early 80's, I think it was of a show in Los Angeles. The version was SO good, that it would just give you chills every time. So clear and perfect because the radio station was so close by. I think maybe the Screaming For Vengeance tour, which I say in NYC. But this one was just so awesome. Halford's vocals, Tipton and KK's solo. Possibly the best version of this song I have EVER heard, truly. Much heavier and with better vocals, it just blew me away. It got stolen from my friends car from a big duffel bag I had crammed with hundreds of cassettes. To this day, it may be the biggest regret that I'll never listen to it again. It also had my favorite version of Desert Plains too.
Perfection. Starts out slow and mellow but it builds up perfectly to a crescendo like a piece from classical music. Heavy metal is one of the few genres that has so much influence from classical music. I first heard this song about 15 years ago and it replaced Victim of Changes as my favorite. It seems it was/is one of the most underrated songs.
you are telling me. Loved this band since I was in nappies/diapers. My 47th B/day today and am still loving them. Home grown from the midlands. I am from B/Ham, the home of Sabbs,My Mom knocked round with Tonni's Aunty
This song means so much to me It has been my salvation song for dealing with my sister and her offspring not honoring my boundaries. This as much as a part incident from 2001-2006 where I was estranged from them as well as my mother. My mom is no longer here. She asked for forgiveness, and I granted her that. This time I will not forgive my sister. She is now a bad memory and banned from entering my property. Right now I'm recuperating from a mobility issue in a place intended for dementia / mental patients. I was put here against my will because the bitch wouldn't back off. She won't be allowed to ever do it again. I will NOT allow it. I will be prepared to take any action necessary. Thank you Rob Halford for writing such meaningful lyrics.
i went to a very bad place with this song,no,not PRIESTS fault,just seem to really connect to ROB'S lyrics here,so much pain as a deep depressive,but gotta still be my all time fav,peace n blessings.
thanks my friend,very weird,just looked at my notifications as i listened to this 3 months ago and got your reply,thanks for the reply,just listened to evening star also,i look to the sky every night and pray to it.peace n blessings.
I've been fighting....not depression, feeling like I dont belong here' all my life. IDK why. Used to try to express it in my music but every1 thought i was suicidal, so i just stopped using them in my band. Went back to my 'clown act" LOL ...so i know what u mean!!! Love this song! Still play it sometimes. Hope all is well with you and yours. Peace & Blessings backatcha
I was right we do die but we come back again, we get a thousand years like GOD had said. When we wake up we will know what we've done, rich and poor ying and yang. We can break the cycle if we just wake up!
***** The cycle is the LAW thats binds us to GOD ; breaking it would mean to become equals and we are not ready for if we were, then our minds would be electric. A tree drops a seed on the ground and in the right conditons becomes a tree.
+Paula Pirajá what else could be said besides that ??? at the 80´s and 90´s too much attention was paid to guitar players known for complex and crazy technical skills... I miss judas priest because while not being than kind of musicians, the things they did for judas priest music strikes right into your soul !!! those men were solo freaks !!! I LOVE JUDAS PRIESR !!!
This man cannot be human, Rob's voice is out of this world, this galaxy, this fuckin universe... unreal And then the solo hits, and I achieve interplanetary teleportation... I'm fuckin gone
Great place to start with putting lyrics to songs on youtube. Picking this song first really says alot about the person you are . i bought this album new , the day it came out, lol. I was 10 . Fucking EPIC tune , your my new best friend.
One my many old favorites. It's interesting NM see as f.,k so that the 80s witch hunts on priest began when that kid killed himself. Gee people , I ways felt like if he identified with this song like that he had other issues. But what an awesome song
Is this the song that got them sued way back when? It's funny but I never cared for this one. I love the music of Judas Priest they are where my metal journey began all those decades ago. When a friend turned me on to them with British Steel. Yet this track struck me as a paean to weakness and submission. Not like the rest of their catalogue which speaks to the soul of striving and triumph. That's what Priest means to me. It's only now that I gave it a fresh listen that I appreciate it for the masterpiece that it is.
....and those of us trying to live and find peace and comfort in this realm. This song is the ultimate self-help guide and reassurance you are connected to millions of others suffering "alone." Judas Priest should have been given a Nobel peace prize for this contribution to mankind.
