Judas Priest Appear On 'The Simpsons,' Get Labeled "Death Metal"

posted in: Music News • Rock

Metal legends Judas Priest had a cameo as themselves on last night’s episode of The Simpsons, wherein they were referred to as a death metal band, much to the dismay of fans of the Priest and of death metal alike.

The band performed a re-write of their hit “Breaking The Law,” changed to “Respecting The Law,” blasting it out in an attempt to drive a fugitive Homer from the Swedish embassy. But of course, the Swedes claim to love “death metal.”

Judas Priest is pretty far from death metal and whomever wrote this bit clearly does not know or care about the difference. Also, god, what happened to The Simpsons?

Here’s a bootleg clip:
