The James Brown Judas Priest Mashup You Never Knew You Needed

Get Up, Get On Up. James Brown meets Judas Priest in another genius mashup by music editor Bill McClintock. Mixing soul vocals and heavy metal rhythms, the track is a real musical masterpiece that makes us wish this collaboration had actually happened in real life.

Bill McClintock cleverly combined the iconic James Brown performance of “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine” with live footage of the Judas Priest 1982 song “Electric Eye” to create a truly funky heavy metal mashup. This unlikely combination works and works well, as the songs share a common phrase. As with his other mashups, McClintock rounded out the sound with licks from a few other thrash metal masters.

Bill used audio from the following songs in this clever mashup:

Judas Priest – Electric Eye – 1982 – Screaming For Vengence

James Brown – Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine – 1970 – Released as a two-part single

Metallica – Creeping Death – 1984 – Single from the album Ride The Lightning

Megadeth – Tornado of Souls – 1990 – Rust In Peace
