Talk:A Touch of Evil

Lyrics interpretation

"The song's lyrics deal with demonic possession, black magic, and temptation to commit acts of evil."

Well sure, that could be one version. But here's another one:

"One of the best power ballads that Priest ever wrote. It's a love song, and we've had many of those - we just don't mention the word 'love'. " - Rob Halford, Metal Hammer, January 2004 81.232.114.123 14:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Change it to whatever you want (well, you know what I mean). I just wrote what the lyrics seemed to be talking about, I didn't look at any references or anything.

Progressive Metal??

yeah...judas priest is one of my favourite bands, but for me(as big fan of bands like dream theater and angra, which are true progmetal bands) I think that isnt the right genre to "the touch of evil", which is true HEAVY METAL!!! JUDAS ROCKS! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.254.50.204 (talk)

I love Judas Priest as much as you do, but I think this song might pass as progressive metal. I listen to Dream Theater too, and if you think of it, this is kinda similar to some of their stuff. On the page for Priest, where it talks about the Painkiller album, it calls the song a "pseudo ballad". I figured if you could call it that, you could call it prog metal.

Assessment

This article has a lot of good info, but could stand to have a few more sources, if possible. --NormalAsylum (t) 07:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Inspiration for Title

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere that the title was inspired by the 1958 Orson Welles film of the same name, but so far all I've found appears to be speculation or stated without attribution. Does anyone have a source for this? - Mark Dixon (talk) 05:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
