Just wondering what is your favourite Priest song to rock out hard on is

Mine is from British Steel - The Rage

That song gets me pumped like no other the guitar solo is perfect and those big power chords are rock beyond belief and thats not even mentioning the KILLER vocals .... Talk about pipes:music: Just a song that begs to be turned up louder and louder

I have to say "Victim Of Changes".

"Diamonds and Rust" and "The Green Manalishi" are right up there as well.

Absotively posalutely Victim of Changes. It's got the guitars, it's part ballad part straight ahead banging, it's longer than the normal 3 and a half minutes and best of all the lyrics are pretty cool. The boys really nailed it with that one.

edit: We posted at the same time Tripqzon, but I have to say I like the cut of your jib...

Almost forgot "Better By You, Better Than Me" and "White Heat, Red Hot".

O.K. I can't pick just one. They have so many kick ass songs.

I totally agree. "Victim Of Changes" song has everything a Judas Priest fan desires. :rockon:

My three favorites are the same as your original three and they're best heard back to back to back on Unleashed In The East. I thought I found heaven when I heard that back in 1979.

If I had to pick one..... "Out In The Cold". Man, that opening son friggin' jammed in concert and on the Judas Priest Live CD. I blew up a few subs with that track back in the car audio days.

Run of the Mill from Rocka Rolla. Fantastic song, it just winds itself up from the slow start to the intense ending. I always feel quite drained after listening to that one.

It's also a shame that the 'Caviar & Meths' short track was originally going to be a 14 minute epic.

As far as favorites I think Tower Boss pretty much covered all of them and even some I havent though of in 25 years.
