    Hey gang,

    As many of you saw on MetalUnderground.com yesterday, we announced that next week we'll be releasing all of Judas Priest's classic metal album British Steel. These tracks are live recordings taken from their 2009 tour, where Rob Halford and co. proved that, even after 30 years, they've still got the goods. Dig in, enjoy, and keep posted for the RBN DLC announcements at 11am.

    “Breaking the Law (Live)” +
    “Rapid Fire (Live)” +
    “Metal Gods (Live)”
    “Grinder (Live)” +
    “United (Live)” +
    “Living After Midnight (Live)”
    “You Don’t Have to Be Old to Be Wise (Live)”
    “The Rage (Live)” +
    “Steeler (Live)” +


    (All tracks are original master recordings)

    (These tracks will be available in Europe on PlayStation 3 May 12)

    These tracks will be available for purchase as “British Steel 30th Anniversary,” as well as individual tracks on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system, and as individual tracks only on Wii. Tracks marked with “+” are also available for download in the family-friendly LEGO® Rock Band Music Store.

    Well it's about time that Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight came out.  Hopefully these live versions will sound good.

    Not really my genre of music, but I do like the few Judas Priest songs that I've played on Rock Band (save for Painkiller, never understood why that was so popular). I'll give these a listen.

    Because it's one of the hardest Rock Band 2 disc songs.

    In my opinion, people seem to overstate how hard the song really is. Panic Attack is harder in every way.

    If you're talking guitar, drums, and bass, then yes.  Painkiller gets the top spot for being relatively hard in all four categories, including vocals.
