WHAT? Holy shit, I have to hear that. It can't be any worse than the Scorpions working with, who was it, Peter Wolf?

let us not forget that priest worked with stock aitken and waterman, though they had the decency to never release the results

That's unfortunate. Angel of Retribution did have some solid tunes on it.

Priest sure had their share of shitty videos. Witness the glories of “Breaking the Law” and “Freewheel Burning” for starters. Of all the bands I loved growing up, only Rush had consistently worse video representation.

And this song is saved by the pretty solid hook, despite the glossy production.

Okay, so adding to the s&m styling and suggestiveness, titles like “Ram It Down”, “Leather Rebel” and “Rock Hard Ride Free” and an overall demeanor that crossed from macho to mucho! on more than one occasion, now we have the DANCE MIX.

Yet we did not see the writing on the wall in the '80s. Talk about blinders on!

By the way, I heard some stuff from their upcoming “Nostradamus” album. Uh… Um… Yeah…

OK David, now you've topped yourself! I'm a life-long Priest fan and I didn't even know this existed!

Next thing you know, you'll be posting a Arthur Baker remix of a WASP song!

This song was like a big, roaring Suzuki of validation for me when it came out, since all my friends – ALL my friends – were heavy metal lovers, HATED synthesizers and drum machines, and Priest was thier big fave. They also teased me mercilessly for loving Frankie Goes To Holly wood (”fag” was a word casually thrown around).

Then this single came out, among other things. Ah, sweet, tasty, crunchy, chocolaty validation.

agreed. well, at least the chorus is great. it's no “Metal Gods,” though.
