Inspired by George Orwell’s cult classic 1984, this song is a testimony to the statement that the best heavy metal music is based on fantasy literature. Tapping into their creative genius, Judas Priest transformed Big Brother paranoia into a great song with an almighty opening riff. Usually preceded by the instrumental introduction known as ‘The Hellion’, Electric Eye has become one of the 1980s most recognisable heavy tunes.
