'STEELER'
Downing: I would have to say "Steeler" has been one of our most successful tracks with musicians. The great Dimebag [Darrell of Pantera] and tons of musicians always cited that as being one of their favorite tracks. I never really knew why because it's fairly simplistic. I guess it's just the groove and the way it goes on at the end with wild bits of guitar and me and Glenn trading off.
Halford: Just some anger from me, mate. [laughs] God, where was my mind at? I was really fucking pissed . . . and the music we were making really made you feel that way. Jogging around the lake at Tittenhurst obviously didn't de-stress me.
Tipton: It's got all the qualities normally possessed by a Priest song, really.
Halford: We wanted to open [the album] with a ballbuster and end it with a ballbuster, and everything that happens in between is what makes "British Steel" a classic.
