==Background==
In 1986, Judas Priest intended to release a double album entitled ''Twin Turbos'', of which half would consist of melodic, more commercial hard rock, and the other half would be heavier and less synth-driven. Columbia Records objected to the double album concept, and the project was ultimately split into two separate releases, 1986's platinum-selling ''Turbo'', and ''Ram It Down''. At least three songs, "Hard as Iron", "Love You to Death" and "Monsters of Rock", were written for the ''Twin Turbos'' project.
Drummer Dave Holland experienced health problems during recording, and the band elected to utilise a drum machine on much of the album rather than bring in another drummer. ''Ram It Down'' would be the final Judas Priest album recorded with longtime drummer Holland, as well as producer Tom Allom. Allom would later return as co-producer to the 2009 live release ''A Touch of Evil: Live.''
The band recorded a rendition of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B.

It was also played during the first few concerts of the band´s 1988 tour, along with the title track and three other songs from the album. The only ''Ram It Down'' songs to have been played on later tours are "I'm a Rocker", during the Retribution Tour; and "Blood Red Skies", during the Epitaph World Tour.
