Episode 22: Judas Priest Painkiller year 1990 English Version

00:00:00 - K.K. Metal Metal Bracelets

00:00:25 - Greetings from the extreme south of the American continent

00:00:30 - Today in classic rocks all time I am going to present you a song that will move your body.

00:00:39 - It is Painkiller by the British band Judas Priest.

00:00:44 - Painkiller is the 12th studio album by the British heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in 1990 by Columbia Records.

00:00:52 - In addition, it is the last production with vocalist Rob Halford after he, resigned in 1992.

00:01:04 - To change the sound of his previous album, they incorporated drummer Scott Travis from the band Racer X.

00:01:17 - Produced by Chris Sangarots, the band released their heaviest, most aggressive and fastest album since the early 1980s.

00:01:25 - The song tells the story of a metal angel sent to avenge humanity on evil people.

00:01:37 - Rob Halford said I think it's a wonderful statement.

00:01:40 - It embodies what, metal is, it's everything a metal track should have.

00:01:45 - It's become a very important song for priest, and I think metal too.

00:01:55 - The group began writing Painkiller in late 1989 and entered Mirable Studios in Corins,

00:02:00 - France with producer Chris Sangarides, Anvil, and Lizzie, Black Sabbaths, in January 1990.

00:02:07 - Three months later, the band finished the album at Wieseljured Studios in Halversum, the Netherlands.

00:02:26 - Judas Priest wanted to release Paint Hiller as soon as possible so that their fans would know the songs when the group arrived in their cities on the summer tour.

00:02:34 - CBS Records decided to postpone the album release until the verdict of the Vance case against Judas Priest.

court case involved two young men from Reno, Nevada, who agreed to commit suicide on December 23, 1985 after receiving subliminal messages in the song Better By You, Better Than Me, a theme included in the 1978 album Staying Class. The case was dropped for lack of evidence on August 24, 1990, and CBS quickly found the spot on its release schedule for Painkiller in 1991.

00:03:10 - Deep Purple Keyboardist Don Airee managed to keep a secret that he actually played bass on Judas Priest's 1990 album Painkiller instead of Mainstay in Hill, the band's oldest member.

00:03:22 - Bands hiding writing credits and having ghost members co-write songs or even perform parts of an album are nothing new and are one of the most intriguing aspects of rock and metal history.

00:03:34 - The group received its first Grammy nomination in the category of Best Performance by Metal

00:03:38 - The album cover was conceived and designed by the group itself, although they called in graphic artist Mark Wilkinson to create it.

00:03:48 - Haferd said in an interview that they were based on the angel of his second album said

00:03:52 - Wings of Destiny.

00:03:53 - Our ambition is to fly the metal flag and we feel that thrash and heavy metal are the same.

00:03:59 - Glenn Tipton told Hammer in December 1990, Adam, we like thrash.

00:04:05 - We are very aware of all the young bands and guitarists.

00:04:09 - We always try to do something different, not rest on our laurels, says Ian Hill in 2019, when asked if painkiller felt like a radical revival song.

00:04:20 - We had done the experimental album Turbo, which had mixed reviews that was a one-way street actually, we weren't going anywhere with heavy guitar synths.

1988 LP Ram It Down was where we got the toughest edgeback, so Pain Killer was a continuation of that, but with more refined music, very aggressive and very strong.

00:04:41 - Without a doubt, Pain Killer is still an experience, electrifying, packed full of power twists, vigorous shifting rhythms, and crazy energy.

00:04:50 - Everyone will have their favorite part, but there's something so brilliant about the

00:04:54 - The way the action pauses to introduce the selected arpeggio into Glenn Tipton's superb solo that sadly today is out of the group suffering from an incurable disease.

00:05:24 - Keep listening classic rock, all-time tuner podcast of rock.

00:05:54 - I'm not sure if you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can hear it, but I'm sure you can

00:09:03 - Lying high on rapture, stronger, free and brave

00:09:23 - Never more in doubt your name is brought back from the grave
