JUDAS PRIEST - One Shot At Glory

This is by no means complete or 100% accurate.

 

It's incredible that there are no tabs for any songs off of Painkiller,

in my opinion the best album of the nineties,(and Priest is not my

favourite band either). Anyways lads, I hope the endless re-posts

of Breaking the Law will be purged by the burning sermons and they'll

someday be replaced by some strangle grip-twisting, tendon-ripping

material from Painkiller and Jugulator! Cheers
