Description:
Had Judas Priest released just this one album, it would still go down in history. Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the 70's.
BRITISH STEEL made them a world-famous band.
The welding of BRITISH STEEL is told in this exclusive program in the band's own words, and by their once long-term producer Tom Allom. Featuring archive footage, interviews and rare live performances, plus all of BRITISH STEEL'S finest songs, including 'Living After Midnight', 'Breaking the Law', 'Metal Gods', 'The Rage', 'United' and 'Grinder', this is a compelling, witty and exhilarating look at the making of one of heavy metal's most artful creations, a true Classic Album.
Watch, listen and kneel to the Metal Gods!

This installment of the Classic Albums series, in which rock stars talk about the creation of their albums, focuses on the making of British Steel, the 1980 album by Judas Priest, a working-class British, heavy-metal band led by screechy lead singer Rob Halford. As Halford (who has since left the band) and his mates explain what went into the lyrics and recording of the songs that made up the record, the talking heads are intercut with performance footage of a band that helped launch the metal and speed-metal surge of the 1980s and early 1990s. The interviews are not particularly insightful if you're not a fan and are probably redundant if you are; it's fascinating, however, to watch the way the band's studded-leather image evolved over the years. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - A classic of the genre gets it's just desserts
A good DVD for any Priest fan and a great gift idea for any lapsed fan. This rockumentary discussion of the JP classic British Steel is well warranted although in a way it must of been hard to pick a single JP album to cover. A number could of been included in the series, eg Sad Wings of Destiny or Hell Bent for Leather.
The basic program runs for nearly an hour which is the way this series was intended to be aired. With bonus material included for the DVD release however the running ... Read More
Rating: - pretty good
for the most part it's good. I think it worth buying if you're a true fan.
Rating:  - great bio of British Steel
All band membors give all their secrets about one of the greatest heavy mnetal albums ever made "British Steel" very interesting stories, and interviews from the band, lots of cool clips, and a few videos and a rare 1991 performance of Grinder, a great buy!
Rating:  - British Steel
OK if you are a die hard Priest fan. All the dialog is a bit boring. It moves a little too slow for me. The music was good though.
Rating: - Love Judas Priest but a few things...
I feel I have to ask this, how many freaken interviews are they going to do about British Steel/Point of Entry with parts of old videos, saddly some from Fule for Life not saying Fule for Life wasnt good, it was great, however if I wanted to see Fule for Life Id freaken Watch Fule For Life but appareantly they assume your to stupid to notice and may miss it so they RE-add many clips from Fule for Life because they assume you dont have Fule for Life...
See a pattern?
