F yeah - I know and love Painkiller as the quintessential metal song but to realize this gem was 6 yrs earlier - this has to be added in the list of quintessential metal songs, no?
I've been a Priest fan since 1979. I've always thought Defenders is their best album. If I were Rob, which I'm obviously not, I would open every show with Freewheel Burning. Every single one. Talking about firing up the crowd from the very beginning...

Freewheel Burning is from '84, don't know where you got '79. Other than that, nice review. Priest!!!
Hard as hell for 1984.
I always confuse this song with Riding on the wind, for some reason.
