Songs of My Life #48 - Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning - 1984.

Back in the mid-80's when Rage first started late Friday and Saturday nights on the ABC, there was always a period between 2 and 4am on Sunday morning where they would play half a dozen metal songs. One of their favourite ones to play was this music video. It seemed to be on every weekend for about 6 months. And that was great, because not only is it one of the best ever Judas Priest songs, it is hilariously 'stuck in the 80's' when you watch it now.

The star of the show in this song is the dual and duelling guitars. Glen Tipton and K. K. Downing are on fire throughout this song, and the harmonies are terrific. Add in Halford's vocals and you have yet another pearler from the legends of the genre.
