Exactly! How much energy he needs to spend to bring out all those throat-devastating screams. Rob is doing great job as a front-man, especially without Glenn and KK by his side.
Actually he's doing all head voice. No chest voice so he's actually singing much softer than it sounds. It's kinda like they way Barry Gibb from the Bee gees sings.
AMAZING! the fact Rob is still going for it on this song even though he has aged and his voice has changed in the 30 some odd years since they made this song. And Richie, you can see the pain on his face trying to rest those fingers after that solo. HAHA! Great song from one of the greatest bands ever! \oo/
The people who criticize Halford just don't understand the spirit. Halford doesn't care about still sounding good or not. He will still go on stage until the very end. It is in his blood and will always be. Just like Lemmy. This kind of people do not retire. He will keep on rocking until his very last breath. And I will be here for it. The simple fact of seeing these incredible Heavy Metal icons on stage, displaying their astounding creations, is too precious. Long Live Rock'N'Roll 🤘
We've already taken quite a hit with old school metal legends passing away, but we're getting to a time when were not going to have many of them left. Experience them when you can, there is nothing like 70s/80s metal bands and we may never see their like again. I was fortunate to still see AC/DC when Malcolm was still around on the Black Ice Tour. Ive seen Iron Maiden several times, but never seen Judas Priest. Might be time to see them if they do another tour. Might be the last time. Recording probably doesn't do this justice, Ill bet it was amazing live!
Of all the acts in PowerTrip, Judas Priest were the best. Even my friend who had never heard their music was blown away by Rob Halford. What an honour it was to watch him from The Pit. 🙏
During an interview Richie said sweep picking wasn’t really his forte. I think he’s doing a fine job with this solo! This is the solo he was playing as he was bleeding out into his chest so I’m sure it’s special to him now!🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Richie always seems to underrate his own abilities. Great stuff with Priest and Elegant Weapons. Looking forward to what he's come up with for the new Priest!
When Ritchie now plays this does he have flash backs to when his aorta exploded? Dude is more metal than metal. He finished the solo while literally dying. So happy he made it through and is shredding on stage once again! Long live the Falcon!
I don’t understand the criticism they’re getting from their performance here. They’re very much up there in age, and it blows me away that Rob can even sing this that well still. Plenty of bands their age don’t sound as good, but Priest sounds phenomenal compared to them. And the fact Rob can still hit those notes at all still, is amazing. Even if he has to substitute them with deep growls, he sounds good!
Deep growls is something he did already in 1973, 1977-1979, and 1982-1984, also 1988. And 1991, he updated that. On that total death metal thing he does it as style since 1991
Priest Killed It! I expected to rock harder to a couple of the other bands more, but these guys brought it and in my opinion were the best out of all the bands.
I saw them (and many others) in the 80’s at the ole Cumberland Country Civic Center as well. The good ole days, general admission, reasonable ticket prices and a smaller arena. Good times
@@davidpearson3304 Right on. Megadeth and Sanctuary opened for Priest. I also saw Dio,Ozzy, queensryche, Metallica, Alice Cooper, deep purple, Yngwie, acdc,Dokken, Jones Jett and a few others in the 80s at CCCC Portland.
idk what people are bitching about, Rob absolutely killed it he obviously sounds strained, if you haven't noticed the man is *70*, he can't possibly sound the same he did *30 years ago* the fact he can still sing it all the way through this well is admirable 'sides, he always sounds amazing in all the other less demanding songs
Me cuesta aun ver este Judas Priest sin Tipton, ya sin Kk y sin Tipton, sus 2 pilares de los 3, aunque Halford siempre dando una performance brutal a pesar de la edad, yo le banco a Faulkner es muy buen violero, hacia buena quimica con Tipton, pero ya sin el es dificil de ver estos Judas. Pero dan todo de si, mis respetos
@@Nissardpertugiu no, it is pure falsetto with vibratto. I used to sing Painkiller, and most of the notes are D4 minus, no man sang this range using head voice, it is pure falsetto. The only difference is that he uses a tecnice pulling down the falsetto to the front teeth, making a agressive vibratto.
I have been a huge JP fan from the early 70's and I still am. But now I think it would be good to consider retiring for JP. It is the same with Kiss, Whitesnake, Deep Purple. Please save your mighty musical legacy for us with dignity.
I don’t think Priest runs any risk of tarnishing their legacy. Aside from Rob hitting a few rough patches on Painkiller (a song that has never been as smooth live as it was in the studio) what on earth do they need to save their mighty musical legacy from? The studio output is still phenomenal. Firepower was a fantastic album, and the new single they just dropped hints at an album even better than firepower. They’re still one of the tighter live metal bands performing today. Apart from strain in painkiller and the more complex songs, Halford’s voice is still totally serviceable. I don’t see any criticism for any of the other band members that would warrant retirement. Are Priest in their prime? No. Do they need to hang it up asap to avoid tarnishing their legacy as Kiss, Motley Crue, and others have done? Absolutely not. Modern Judas Priest is still, by all means, a good band.
Back in 2022 Rob sung unbelievably well at Masters of Rock festival. Even Painkiller wasn't that bad. Here its worse or it may be only my first impression
Cada vez que veo un concierto heavy y como la gente desaprovecha la ocasión como tontos grabando con el móvil sin disfrutar del concierto saltando y cantando, me parecen unos lerdos.
The main complaint I hear with rob is he tends to speed through the words Hell bunch up a few words real quick out of sync with the song I’m not a fan of it either but only when it hurts the song for instance it annoys me on the sentinel more than anything else
I did not believe it, but live sounds Painkiller much better than in the vid. The fact is Painkiller is not suitable for Halford anymore. But not only for him...for EVERYBODY
Bueno, despues de ller s todos los "super fans" dare mi opinión. A mi me ds pena escuchsrle cantar asi. Ya no llega a ciertas notas, y es normal. No pasa nada por admitirlo. Decir que sigue siendo igual...o que mejora como el buen vino...es ridículo. A mi me gusta, pero no es como antes. Aun asi, mis respetos a este gran cantante.
Was still great in 2015 l don’t think it’s that he can’t handle it I just don’t think it’s a closing song anymore it’s gotta be mid set when he’s warmed up not the end when he’s worn out
Javier no crees que el artista es dueño de su propio legado y trabajo? al menos pienso que el artista se puede retirar cuando solo a él le plazca, saludos@@CJDFA
No excuse bands can't kickass if rob is doing this at over 70. Absolute legend
It's actually very impressive he's doing this at his 70s. Respect.
Right? And even then, who would step into these shoes and do better??

@@MeeshrickIndeed. Respect for the career which was sublime in the past. But the vocals now are silly. It is hard knowing when to quit.
i tend to agree, at least in a live setting. studio recordings though? he still sounds credible @@nirodha35
Bee Gees singing Painkiller 😍

And he doesn't even sound bad! Gonna see em on the first of April! Can't wait!
The guys old thats the reality of it. It aucks but its true.
@@JustSomeGuy63 of course the guys are old but the hell cares
@@JustSomeGuy63go see them live. You won't regret it.

They will be touring next spring in Europe! The last time I saw them was 1.5 year ago and it was incredible, you gotta see them at least once.
You already missed your chance with KK and Glenn. Better see them ASAP.
It was
I was there and one of the best live performance I’ve seen…Rob killed it!!!!
I was .there!What a night!
When Painkiller came on, the energy was amazing. I fucking loved it
Rob Halford’s performance level aged like fine wine. This is raw talent from all these gents and I really enjoyed watching this.
Of all the acts in PowerTrip, Judas Priest were the best. Even my friend who had never heard their music was blown away by Rob Halford. What an honour it was to watch him from The Pit. 🙏
He had never heard Judas???
i’d say metallica was better. but i could accept judas over acdc
Priest was best, not even close.
Nah, ACDC was the best by far but priest was definitely second. Maiden definitely 3rd.
Just depends who you ask.

The man was a beast that day!
Rob is the 🐐
Faulkner is unbelievable. Impeccable technique and playing. Probably one of the best guitarists right now.
I prefer KK.
@@paulkruger491 I prefer Tipton
Both better than now.
KK, Glenn and Ritchie are all glorious

Even if he has to substitute them with deep growls, he sounds good!
And people forget its the encore, so at his age he has the whole show in the cgords
A lot of critics here wouldn't carry that for a tour half his age
Deep growls is something he did already in 1973, 1977-1979, and 1982-1984, also 1988.
And 1991, he updated that.
On that total death metal thing he does it as style since 1991
Priest at their best kicking the ass out of Painkiller! 🎸🎸🎸🎸👍
Still D E V A S T A T I N G 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Priest Killed It! I expected to rock harder to a couple of the other bands more, but these guys brought it and in my opinion were the best out of all the bands.
Ive been seeing them since the 2000s every show they put on is like there last and just getting better and better .
I saw the Painkiller tour in the early 90s in Portland Maine. Excellent times.
I saw them (and many others) in the 80’s at the ole Cumberland Country Civic Center as well. The good ole days, general admission, reasonable ticket prices and a smaller arena. Good times

Rob's power is still insane, wtf?!
Not on this song.
El dios del METAL.
Can’t wait to see Judas Priest with Sabaton this year
Still and always the Metal God
Прекрасно!
Faulkner is on fire. Good man!
I wish I had known there was a fucking epic circle pit during this song. I would’ve gotten in. But other than that power trip was one for the books
One is 70 and the other literally had a heart attack playing this song….incredible they still pull this off.
My first concert 1984 Dayton Ohio hara arena , was 13 no parent.
Esa postura es habitual en el,aún joven la hacía.
Y además sirve para esas notas altas
They are beyond comparisons. They're beyond critiscism. They have nothing to prove. they are the metal gods.
Yeeeeeesssssss
Halford at 72 years of age
Охеренно!!!!
God damn Rob goes fucking hard, and Richie is a perfect fit. God bless Priest!
While Halford may be on his end, Scott is still slaying hard as ever lol
No tech can handle their sound.
At least they got a couple of Ian Hill liveshots in the video mix 😎
Ian is the ❤ of Priest.

Holy crap, Andy has hair!
пздц, как он может это тянуть в свои годы
отлично получилось, легенды
Everything has the beginning and the end
Saw Priest a year ago Rob tore this song up goddamn he's 72
what the fuck do you people want?
Priest blew acdc away
Two different style of music.
how high were you ?
Brian’s voice is gone
It was already weak and 7 years off didn’t help at all he’s all falsetto and his chords are so damaged his falsetto is shot too
Rob should sing this song with his regular voice, easier and as good.
I'm impressed he can still mostly do it honestly. You can tell how much he has to concentrate though to hit every note at that pitch.
I agree!
You are wrong. Falsetto is actually easier for us then use our normal voice to sing high notes.
@@ElderDragonBrasilits not falsetto, its mixed.
@@Nissardpertugiu no, it is pure falsetto with vibratto. I used to sing Painkiller, and most of the notes are D4 minus, no man sang this range using head voice, it is pure falsetto. The only difference is that he uses a tecnice pulling down the falsetto to the front teeth, making a agressive vibratto.
Still love angels cover of this song so fucking killer.
Halfold le duele la espalda!¡😱
That's why KK wanted to jam with Ripper....even tho I love Rob and Glenn.
Rob still sounds pretty great for his age, but I wonder if it would help him a little if they tuned down?
No reason to tune down he still hits the notes easily
I think it may be the speed of the songs that hurts him more than anything
they should consider dropping another semitone down (it is already -1 down)
I have been a huge JP fan from the early 70's and I still am. But now I think it would be good to consider retiring for JP.
It is the same with Kiss, Whitesnake, Deep Purple. Please save your mighty musical legacy for us with dignity.
I don’t think Priest runs any risk of tarnishing their legacy.

Modern Judas Priest is still, by all means, a good band.
suppose Rob went blind and thought the crowd sat under the floor
He has a hard time with the highs if he doesn’t bend down
who's the other guitar beside Ritchie? doesn't seem Andy Sneap to me
Judas and Maiden the only 2 bands out of this festival to actually been worth the time and money
TOOL 🤘🏻
Haha your demented ,acdc rocked .
Obviously u weren’t there,I was🤘🏼
Rob is still reading the songs 😂
He’s been reliant on the screens for decades not everyone has great memory
He's been doing that since at least the 90s. Do you think his memory's going to improve in his 70s?
If he sings it with his natural voice it would be way more great
Rob struggling with this one.
Back in 2022 Rob sung unbelievably well at Masters of Rock festival. Even Painkiller wasn't that bad. Here its worse or it may be only my first impression
He should sing it (for some 8 years now) with his regular voice, saving it for the screams and high pitches. It would still rock.
A lot of people would struggle with it.
After 1h30 of show or 2.
He's 72 and does it honorably.
Cada vez que veo un concierto heavy y como la gente desaprovecha la ocasión como tontos grabando con el móvil sin disfrutar del concierto saltando y cantando, me parecen unos lerdos.
Is that Halford? Why is he singing to the floor?
Because he is reading the lyrics off an autocue.. Age does that
He is old now... still a legend but father time makes the rules
My take is .... he is at times lip syncing, so by putting his head down it is less obvious.
I think it helps him to sing this demanding song.
@@Musika1220 he does that since 1984.
Its for breathing
Almost as good as I showed them
Can someone tell me why Rob sings bent over? He's been doing that for a few years now. I always think he's been punched in the stomach or something.
Helps put pressure on his diaphragm so he can focus more on the notes and not on breath control
The main complaint I hear with rob is he tends to speed through the words
Hell bunch up a few words real quick out of sync with the song
I’m not a fan of it either but only when it hurts the song for instance it annoys me on the sentinel more than anything else
🤟🫶🏻
Bunch of zombies with their phones. No one headbanging. Sad.
Eric Adam from ManOwaR is still the best vocal of all time (for me)
It sounds painful to sing, see and hear. We all need one now.
santa claus priest
I don’t understand. Just replace this song.
They have decades of music. Just replace it in the set list.
Rob can’t do it anymore.
Please... this is embarrassing. Never play this one again live
You just weren’t there. It was fucking amazing
I did not believe it, but live sounds Painkiller much better than in the vid. The fact is Painkiller is not suitable for Halford anymore. But not only for him...for EVERYBODY

The Metal god needs to hang it up... I am going to listen to Tyrant from unleashed in the east and remember him how he was in his prime.
Retirese halford
추태다!
On your mark, Get set, Terrible
It’s so upsetting to see bands playin’ to the techno zombie age!
Put your phones down and live in the moment instead of trying to capture it.
It's good but just doesn't have the same sound as with Glenn and kk but it's still priest rob is great Scott Ian very tight just sayn
I will take kk's priest and ripper over this.
Nobody asks you! Ripper can only holding Halford's microphone.
I think it's time for Rob to drop this song from the set, much as the crowds may want it.
He's got zero vocal power here.
It's pretty awful.
Halford is done. Honesty, he´s been for years. This is awful and I have heard worse. Spare us.
you are done
So is asshole rose and brian johnson unfortunately
I agree Halford is done.
@@alickandreades6314 :D slooow down boy
He's certainly done on songs like this.
There are other songs he sings well.
This is not Priest

Go to Kk Priest videos, then. No one wants you here lol
They should stop playing this one live... poor Rob.
