Judas Priest - Living Bad Dreams


If Rob had changed the way he sang the title line (still effective), this would have been another highlight from the album if it was included, especially the instrumental section. I love the intro (classic Priest), the song has a bit of a Nostradamus vibe (with Ripper-like verses). A forgotten strong piece. Their songwriting was at a peak during Painkiller sessions.

I just love the bass solo and I think this could have been a title track (especially the chanting of the chorus; others could have been - Sign, Flies, Judgement). The urgent riff, solos and overall vibe are so TXF and work perfectly. The verses are some of the best from the Blaze era. The song is even heavier live.
Funny you should say that - Blood on the World's Hands was the tentative title for the album before it was changed to The X Factor
