Judas Priest should never have covered "Johnny B. Goode." Despite this aweful song, the rest of the album is an improvement over "Turbo" and is a step closer to the masterpiece that is to come. Thankfully Priest decided to drop the synthesized guitar sound and the overtly pop metal production. The mighty Priest doing a song called "Heavy Metal" has got to be good. Other favorites are "Blood Red Skies" and "Love Zone." "Ram It Down" is actually a decent Priest song as well.

The '80s were the decade Priest had the most success. They had a string of hit albums including Screaming For Vengeance, Defenders Of The Faith and Turbo. They even had some radio and MTV success with songs like "Breaking The Law" and "Turbo Lover."

The second case centers around the heavy metal rock group Judas Priest and their album, Stained Class. A lawsuit lodged in Reno, Nevada in 1986 initially sought unspecified damages from CBS records and Judas Priest, claiming that two youths, James Vance and Ray Belknap, were driven to shoot themselves in a suicide pact after they repeatedly listened to this album while smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. Belknap died. Vance severely disfigured himself in the attempt and died three years later.
