![]() ![]() The song was mentioned in a 1990 trial in which the parents of two teens who had committed suicide after listening to Stained Class alleged that subliminal messages encouraging suicide had been hidden in another song on the album. Though the manner of his death is unclear, it is implied to be by suicide. The lyrics depict a man waiting for death as he suffers from catatonia or depression. The verses use an acoustic riff, while the choruses and outro are more typical of the band's heavy metal sound. The song is written in B-minor, employing a verse-chorus structure, interspersed with a solo following the first and second chorus by Glenn Tipton and K. Drummer Les Binks has his only songwriting credit with the band for the main riff. The song is considered a Judas Priest classic by fans and critics, with further recordings included in Priest, Live and Rare, '98 Live Meltdown, Live in London, A Touch of Evil: Live, Live Insurrection and a number of compilation albums. ![]() As we left the stadium, we met many metal heads outside who felt the same, Judas Priest can still rock the house! There was a sense that this big city had accepted us and we had something in common." Beyond the Realms of Death" is a power ballad by English heavy metal band Judas Priest from their 1978 album Stained Class. The show went on with all the classic Priest tunes and I was in heaven! As all good things come to an end, so did the show. Well Rob, you have a fan that always will! I’m making everyone I know listen to this exceptional band if it’s the last thing I do! “Thank you for keeping the faith!” said Rob Halford. When “Beyond The Realms Of Death” came on, I will admit I had a tear in my eye! As I looked around, I noticed many were my age and the younger most likely didn’t know what they were watching…history in the making…the most influential metal band of all time performing a sliver of their incredible 40+ year repertoire! I felt honoured to have the privilege to see the band that fills my daily life with such happiness and release from every day crap. To put things in perspective, Judas Priest’s first album came out when I was four! These guys rocked the stadium like nothing I could ever do! Throughout the show I was amazed at what I heard, the band played a phenomenal show! It was a live show of what fills my house daily, JUDAS PRIEST is the best band ever! I think this was the first time I wished they played a little more from the new album! Don’t get me wrong, the set list was awesome but so is their new album! I didn’t expect them to go on forever but I do wish they could… Sometimes when bands tour their new album, you wish they would play their “classic” tunes and not all their new songs. The “Judas Priest” curtain fell and I knew then the city was with us! They sounded pretty good but unfortunately we didn’t really see them, yes the people of Toronto were that interesting…and the beer was really good!įinding our seats at that point was an “adventure” but we made it just in time for REDEEMER OF SOULS! ![]() We did the typical thing, got some beer, bought some shirts, got more beer, met interesting people and next thing you know the opening act “Mastodon” was done. ![]() I kinda felt bad for them since I knew I was going to the BEST SHOW on earth and would most likely be hung over the next day and not going to work!Īfter hitting a pub and having a few more “refreshments”, we headed over to the Air Canada Centre. In awe with all to see, we were amazed at the fast pace of the city which was oblivious to who had showed up!īeing “slightly” verbal at that point, people didn’t even act like we were there! It was Thursday afternoon after all! Seemed like everybody just wanted to get home and survive one more day before the weekend. I took a four hour train ride from Ottawa to Toronto early Thursday morning with my concert buddy and to my delight, he had brought some “refreshments” with us for the ride!īy the time we got to Toronto, we were happy campers and ready to rock! Two metal heads in a big city, what could go wrong? ![]()
