Judas Priest are one of the pioneers of the heavy metal genre and were forerunners of the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' movement, laying the groundwork for the speed and thrash metal of the 80s and 90s back in the late 70s. The band was formed in 1967 by guitarist Kenneth "K. K." Downing, bassist Ian Hill and original singer Alan Atkins. A second guitarist, Glenn Tipton, was also added to the lineup as compensation for their record company's (Gull Records) suggestion to add a horn section to the first album. This "twin axe attack" was not particularly popular at the time, but worked wonders for the group later on and would inspire other bands to do the same.

Burnin’ Up Lyrics
Judas Priest
You stitch me up good, and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So Ill play it dirty til your body is breaking
Weve got to make love, the time is right
Weve got to make love tonight
cause were burnin up
You make me greedy, you wont feed me my food
But Ill make out easy, cause I see straight through you
You cool me off and hot me up and thats not right
cause youll get hungry in the heat of the night
And then well make love, just when its right
And when we make love tonight
Well be burnin up
I know you feel the same
I know you feel the flame
Staring deep inside of you
Burnin you up, breaking you down
Breakin you out in a cold sweat
And as you lose control, of your very soul
Your desire takes over
Youll feel the heat sway
Youre round to my way
And suddenly youll know that youre burnin up
You stitch me up good, and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So Ill play it dirty til your body is breaking
Weve got to make love, the time is right
Weve got to make love tonight
cause were burnin up
Were burnin up
