"Bullet Train" is the ninth track and second single by British heavy metal band Judas Priest from their 1997 album Jugulator. The song remains one of the most popular tracks with Tim "Ripper" Owens on vocals and is featured on their live album '98 Live Meltdown.

In 1999, the song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance but lost to Metallica with their song "Better than You".

Promotion

CMC International held its then biggest promotional campaign to date, which started on September 30, 1997, to coincide with the song's release as a single. CMC would release 200,000 cassette samplers of Jugulator, the first time the label had done a retail sampler campaign.
