The band's membership has seen much turnover, including a revolving cast of drummers in the 1970s and the departure of singer Rob Halford in 1992. Tim "Ripper" Owens, formerly of Winter's Bane, replaced Halford in 1996 and recorded two albums with Judas Priest, before Halford returned to the band in 2003. The current line-up consists of Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis. The band's best-selling album is 1982's Screaming for Vengeance, with their most commercially successful line-up featuring Ian Hill, Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, guitarist K. K. Downing, and drummer Dave Holland. Tipton and Hill are the only two members of the band to appear on every album.
Halford's operatic vocal style and the twin guitar sound of Downing and Tipton have been a major influence on heavy metal bands. Judas Priest's image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing were widely influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. The Guardian referred to British Steel as the record that defines heavy metal. Despite a decline in exposure during the mid-1990s, the band has once again seen a resurgence, including worldwide tours, being inaugural inductees into the VH1 Rock Honors in 2006, receiving a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2010, and having their songs featured in video games such as Guitar Hero and the Rock Band series. In 2022, Judas Priest were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Eat Me Alive
Judas Priest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cling to my body as the ecstasy begins
Your wild vibrations got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip
And eat me alive
Eat me alive
Groan in the pleasure zone and gasping from the heat
Gut-wrenching frenzy that deranges every joint
I'm gonna force you at gun point
To eat me alive
Eat me alive
Bound to deliver as you give and I collect
Squealing in passion as the rod of steel injects
Lunge to the maximum spread-eagled to the wall
You're well equipped to take it all
So eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Alive, alive, alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive
Eat me alive

The lyrics to Judas Priest's song "Eat Me Alive" are a raunchy celebration of sexual desire and lust. The song opens with the singer describing their lover's body as if it were their own, highlighting the physical sensations of being intimate with another person. The second verse goes on to describe the intense physical pleasure that both parties are experiencing, comparing them to animals panting and gasping for breath. The final verse takes a more forceful turn, with the singer describing themselves as being "bound to deliver" and their lover as being "well equipped to take it all." The overall message of the song is one of unbridled passion and desire, with the singer urging their lover to consume them completely.
Despite its provocative subject matter, "Eat Me Alive" is widely regarded as one of Judas Priest's most underrated songs. The high-energy riff and throbbing beat create an intense, almost animalistic feeling that perfectly complements the lyrics. The song was included on the band's 1984 album "Defenders of the Faith" and became a live staple during their subsequent tours. Interestingly, "Eat Me Alive" was also the subject of controversy, with some conservative groups accusing the band of promoting "sadomasochism" and "cannibalism." This led to the song being censored on some radio stations and even banned in certain countries.

Wrapped tight around me
The feeling of your body pressed firmly against mine
Like a second flesh hot skin
The warmth of your embrace, like an extension of my own body
Cling to my body
The erotic sensation of our bodies pressed tightly together
As the ecstasy begins
As we become consumed by pleasure and desire
Your wild vibrations
The uncontrollable passion and energy you exude
Got me shooting from the hip
Overwhelmed by the intensity of your presence
Crazed and insatiable let 'er rip
Driven to reckless abandon by desire and temptation
Eat me alive
Consume me with passion and desire
Sounds like an animal
Our primal instincts unleashed in the heat of the moment
Panting to the beat
Gasping for air as our bodies move in rhythm
Groan in the pleasure zone
The intense physical sensation of pleasure and ecstasy
Gasping from the heat
Overwhelmed by the intensity of passion and desire
Gut-wrenching frenzy
The unbridled passion and desire that drives us to madness
That deranges every joint
A sensation that overwhelms and consumes us completely
I'm gonna force you at gun point
Driven to take whatever action necessary to satisfy our desire
To eat me alive
To surrender fully to passion and desire
Bound to deliver
Unable to resist the pull of passion and desire
As you give and I collect
Our mutual satisfaction in the moment of passion and desire
Squealing impassioned
Expressing our desire and ecstasy without reservation or shame
As the rod of steel injects
The physical sensation of our bodies moving together as one
Lunge to the maximum
Driven to push ourselves to the very limits of passion and desire
Spread-eagled to the wall
Embraced completely by the throes of passion and desire
You're well equipped to take it all
Prepared and willing to fully embrace the moment of passion and desire
So eat me alive
Surrender to the intensity of our passion and desire

EAT ME ALIVE - MI SER* TENDRÁS
(Adaptacion al español)
Te envuelves en mí
Como una segunda piel
Te aferras de mi y
Empiezo en éxtasís arder
Tus vibraciones salvajes lo harán venir
Loca e insaciable en ti
Y mi ser tendrás (2)
Suenas como animal
Jadeando hasta morir
Placer en esa zona
Está a punto de hervir
Desgarra en frenesí
Dando a más no poder
Con mi cañón te obligaré
Mi ser tendrás (2)
Está acordado en quien da y en quien va a recibir
Te asfixias mientras ves el acero fluir
Embisto al máximo
Tu espalda a la pared
Sé que podrás todo tener y
Mi ser tendrás (4)
