With their previous album \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/The Fuel of the Furnace\/screaming-for-vengeance-40th-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Screaming For Vengeance<\/strong><\/a>\u201d the band had broken the US market and lengthy tour across the stadiums of America had cemented their position as the leading group of the NWOBHM. Everyone was now watching their next step with bated breath.<\/p>\n<p>Song writing for the new album had begun almost directly after the US Festival appearance in May 1983. Priest entered the studio with familiar producer <strong>Tom Allom<\/strong> in following August and worked through fall keeping up tight pace. The LP was finished well before Christmas and to warm up for big events ahead, Priest undertook a short European tour before release. During this trek the band played in front of TV cameras in Dortmund, <strong>Iron Maiden<\/strong> were also on the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Released in January 1984, \u201c<strong>Defenders Of The Faith<\/strong>\u201d remains underrated album (up to 2008 only \u201c<strong>The Sentinel<\/strong>\u201d had featured regulary in the band&#8217;s set lists, yet through the last 15 years they have played all of it again live), yet many including this writer view it as one of the definitive Judas Priest records. \u201cDefenders Of The Faith\u201d showed a band at the very top of their game, belting out fast and furious metal anthems one after another. This was signing an end of an era for heavy metal as well, by late 1980&#8217;s experimentation started to take over within the core of the movement, first glam and later thrash metal took hold of the field. Judas Priest would of course lead the charge again, but that&#8217;s part of another story.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1498 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/jawbreaker\/jpfreewheel\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpfreewheel.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpfreewheel.jpg 800w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpfreewheel-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpfreewheel-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpfreewheel-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpfreewheel-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/jawbreaker\/jp_shagr\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"321\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/JP_SHaGR.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/JP_SHaGR.jpg 321w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/JP_SHaGR-298x300.jpg 298w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/JP_SHaGR-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/JP_SHaGR-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>\u201cDefenders Of The Faith\u201ds first single \u201c<strong>Freewheel Burning<\/strong>\u201d kicked off the proceedings manically with plenty of rubber planted on the road. Straight after it ended in a blistering chaos of guitars, came the song we are talking about here: \u201c<strong>Jawbreaker<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 a classic no holds barred heavy metal with glorious \u201ckerrang\u201d sound. For those not familiar with it, it is the sound of razor sharp guitar slamming out power chords, combined with in-your-face production. Or better yet don&#8217;t take my word on it, take out \u201cDefenders Of The Faith\u201d and listen to it yourself, it will soon become clear.<\/p>\n<p>Following few striking chords to set the mood, the guitar riff that opens \u201cJawbreaker\u201d takes no prisoners and leaves listener breathless in its wake. After the speed of \u201cFreewheel Burning\u201d it seems more in control and \u2013 to quote it&#8217;s opening line \u2013 \u201cdeadly.\u201d <strong>Rob Halford<\/strong> takes command of the song with such drama and precision, it is hard to keep image of the cold merciless machinery out of your head. Same kind of shivers were already sent through the spine eight years earlier with \u201c<strong>The Ripper<\/strong>\u201d and it is clear and present throughout \u201cJawbreaker\u201d and rest of \u201cDefenders Of The Faith.\u201d Listen to Rob pronouncing <em>\u201cPiercing eyes that flash are shimmering\u201d<\/em> (followed by a hit of cymbals enhancing the statement) during the second verse, it hauntingly brings back the figure from \u201c<strong>Electric Eye<\/strong>\u201d couple of years previously.<\/p>\n<p>By 30-second mark, the drums join in and hereon the track never lets you out of its grip. The chorus is nicely executed with two separate syllables, <em>\u201cjaw\u201d<\/em> &#8211; several Rob&#8217;s on backing vocals &#8211; and \u201cbreaker\u201d with one Rob again. This greatly adds to the overall drama. So does the barely heard whisper of <em>\u201cbreaker\u201d<\/em> shortly after second chorus.<\/p>\n<p>The riffing before guitar solo is intense and builds up tension even more. <strong>K.K. Downing<\/strong> plays the lead break and it is rightfully one of his classic moments, one that was originally found suitable to play over index of this web site as well. It combines his usual run-throughs with tasteful melodies in the middle (2:06- and again from 2:24 onwards) and end setting up the stage for final chorus. In a shorter Priest songs, this solo is relatively long lasting approximately 45 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The last few <em>\u201cJawbreaker!\u201d<\/em> &#8211; lines are done with Rob \u2013 who so far has kept his voice in lower and colder register \u2013 screaming <em>\u201cbreaker\u201d<\/em> four times and stretching the last one for several seconds ending it \u2013 and the song with it, on a whisper. Also note the low whispering backing vocals here during final screams, another small detail further increasing the dramatic appeal. Now the attack is no longer being planned, it is taking place right here and right now! The last \u201cbreaker!\u201d is truly sinister in its message of total destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Then it is all over. The key term here, besides the \u201ckerrang\u201d already mentioned is definitely dynamics. Not a single note, vocal chord or a drum beat is out of place. And yet it sounds loose enough to give the band room to bite into it a bit differently live. This was of course not the only example of the devastating power of Judas Priest at the time. The almost mournful guitar that opens the next song \u201c <strong>Rock Hard, Ride Free<\/strong>\u201d is yet again something completely different and still tied together by perfectly executed production and musicianship.<\/p>\n<p>Back to \u201cJawbreaker,\u201d now in retrospect it is probably easier to see the somewhat dubious nature of the words. Back in 1984 however, there was no question. The lyrics spoke of another monster gathering up its strength and preparing to attack, very likely this was the \u201cMetallian\u201d pictured on the cover of \u201cDefenders Of The Faith.\u201d Thus this to some was almost the real title track of the album unless one considered \u201cMetallian\u201d to represent a Priest fan defending the faith. Later some other sub-contexts were often added to lyrics, but as always, content is in the eye of the beholder.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u201cJawbreaker\u201d Live<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Feeling very confident of their new album, Priest played it almost completely on their world tour. Only \u201c<strong>Eat Me Alive<\/strong>\u201d was left off the set-list. \u201cJawbreaker\u201d was slotted logically to the second place right after concert opener \u201c<strong>Love Bites<\/strong>.\u201d Like most of the \u201cDefenders\u201d -material, this song worked perfectly in a live setting. Halford&#8217;s piercing screams towards the end and final <em>\u201cJawbreaker!!\u201d<\/em> brought great response from the crowd. It was played faster compared to studio version and Rob was able to improvise more on the vocal delivery as some of the dramatics done originally like the backing vocals were not re-created live.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z4jpZLCLB0Y?feature=player_detailpage\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The culmination point of the \u201cDefenders Of The Faith\u201c- tour were arguably two shows performed at Sports Auditorium in Long Beach, California 4-5 th of May 1984. The second of these dates was recorded live for ABC Rock Network and broadcasted live on radio. Audio quality is excellent and several of the tracks were used as bonus live cuts for Priest remasters in 2001. The dynamite live version of \u201cJawbreaker\u201d was tagged onto the end of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/The Fuel of the Furnace\/sinner-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sin After Sin<\/strong><\/a>\u201d and I must admit sounds a bit out of place there, between 1977 and 1984 musically Priest had changed considerably. Regardless, \u201cJawbreaker\u201d live is a killer and made one long for a complete remastered release of the Long Beach show.<\/p>\n<p>This finally occurred in 2015 as 30th anniversary reissue of &#8220;Defenders Of The Faith&#8221; was released as double CD with full Long Beach show on the second disc.\u00a0 For the \u201c<em>Fuel For Life<\/em>\u201d \u2013 tour 1986 Priest played four songs from \u201cDefenders Of The Faith\u201d but \u201cJawbreaker\u201d was not among them. It was absent from band&#8217;s set-list for nearly 30 years and finally returned as Priest launched their &#8220;<strong>Redeemer Of Souls<\/strong>&#8220;tour in 2014. The band played the song accordingly and Halford put in suprisingly good vocal performance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6815 \" src=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpdefendersback.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"369\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpdefendersback.jpg 900w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpdefendersback-300x285.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jpdefendersback-768x730.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While Priest re-introduced the song 30 years after its release, some other notable versions exist as well.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Halford resurrected the song for his solo tour in 2000 and kept it in his set list for next few years. This one has a more roughed-up approach to it, more clearly with Rob&#8217;s deeper vocals. However, the famous screams were still intact and impressive. Halford&#8217;s take on the song is featured on the \u201c<strong>Live Insurrection<\/strong>\u201d double album released in 2001. Note the ending is similar to original studio version as opposed to Priest&#8217;s live cut from 1984 which had extended finale. He returned to song in 2010 when supporting his &#8220;<strong>Made Of Metal<\/strong>&#8221; solo album. Some of the notes had now been dropped down but the final screams still come through.
