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.

You're Got Another Thing Comin'
Judas Priest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm takin' flight, I said, "I'll never get enough"
Stand tall, I'm young and kind of proud
I'm on the top, but as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
That's right, here's where the talking ends
Well, listen, this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen, it ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let it go, you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
In this world we're livin' in, we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in, aim for a new tomorrow
Oh, so hot, no time to take a rest, yeah
Act tough, ain't room for second best
Real strong, got me some security
Hey, I'm a big smash, I'm goin' for infinity, yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let you go, you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing
(Comin' for you)
You've got another thing comin'
(Babe, it's a comin' now, oh)
You've got another thing comin'
(Oh yeah, it's a comin' down)
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
(Let's turn around and see us, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
You've got another thing comin'
(It's comin', it's a comin', comin', can you feel it?)
You've got another thing comin'
(Feel it, it's comin' now, it's comin' now)
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
The lyrics to Judas Priest's song "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" are about taking charge of your life and pursuing your goals, no matter what others may think or say. The singer declares that he's not going to waste his life staying in one place or settling for mediocrity. He's going to take flight and reach for the top, as long as the music is loud. If anyone doubts him or tries to hold him back, they've got another thing comin'.
Throughout the song, the singer makes it clear that he's not going to sit around and let other people dictate his fate. He's in control, calling all the shots and playing his ace card. He's not going to let anyone chip away at his brain or dissuade him from his goals. Instead, he's going to aim for a new tomorrow, no matter what obstacles or sorrows may stand in his way.
