This was THE hardest song I've ever recorded on drums, but I'm so happy that I got to be a part of this cover with my friend, the one and only Erik Grönwall. This guy has pipes like no one else. Serious power! Not to mention the hard-hitting production by master Jona Tee and the spot-on solo by Love Magnusson. Thanks for all your nice comments! Keep 'em coming and keep spreading heavy metal to the world! 🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤

Thanks buddy and thanks for doing this one with me. It was a challenge for all us I think ;)
Actually the original vocal is way too weak and feminine. I don't listen to JP studio track but this is a masterpiece :) Thank you Erik and the whole band for this :)
I've been a Priest fan for over 44 years, and I have to say, "I've listened to this version 60 + times in the last three weeks". You guys nailed the vibe on this one.
As someone who has listened to Painkiller thousands of times, from the first time putting the saw toothed CD in my car, this is one best covers I have heard. True to the original with only minor additions. All the musicians did and outstanding job.
Did we even listen to the same song? This was trash. Nothing compared to the original. Nothing even close to Rob. Hell, even Polish Metal Alliance did a ridiculously better job. Clearly all your "listened to thousands of times" was bullshit.
@@Isnogood12 Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you are correct on some aspects, he is not Rob, can't do what Rob can do but IMO a pretty good rendition. I like this version better then some other priest classics that have been recently redone, for example the Saxon version of "You've got another thing coming" doesn't work for me. Thanks for the tip the Polish Metal alliance version I will check it out. No way to prove or disprove my listening, but I can say I saw Painkiller tour, just can't remember if it was at Palace of Auburn hills or Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo. Painkiller was for sure on my mp3 mix cd in my car, and then on mp3 player, and now on my usb stick where it plays regularly. If it comes up once a month for 33 years its just shy of 400, but it was lot in the 90's when I was in college.
I saw Skid Row open for the Scorpions last year. This dude was perfection. I had heard he was good, but man, he could sing. I loved that show due to him.
Not only he nails the cover, but also doesn't limit himself to emulating Rob Halford, but puts his blend of singing the song without defacing it. Plus, man does he look great!
What’s not to like about this cover? What musicianship! All participants did one hell of a job. Especially liked the solos with their own takes. Glenn Tipton approves! That I am sure of!
I wanted to hear this very performance again. For me this is the ultimate heavy metal song of all time, surely you guys get my respect for this stellar cover!
I think the guitarist was equally as impressive! Super cover!!!! Dude you are an amazing singer. I hope all the cards fall in place for you! You deserve it.
@@tomminappa2781 I mean as far as not being Sebastian. Not saying the guy isn't good there's a lot of guys from that country that seem like they can sing really well I'm just saying heavy metal to be fair is not at its peak any longer. He's never going to reach the stature of a Rob halford or a Bruce Dickinson etc. Those days are long gone.
Holy shit erik. This is by far your most incredible cover. You absolutely fuckin slay this track haha. Phenomenal vocals bro. Hope you take over the world and bring rock n roll back to the very very top. You deserve it brother.
Espectacular versión del temazo de Judas!!! Erik está brutal !!! Love Magnuson, Jona Tee y Erik Modin bestiales también!!!! ! ! 🤘🤘🤘Larga vida al Metal!!!
Iam going to state the obvious that is the best cover or tribute version i have ever heard. Eriks vocal was excellent / the band are tight. The lead guitar work on that track sounds (to my ears) to be note perfect and executed with equal amounts finesse and style. Seriously good musicianship displayed by the whole band.
Nobody will ever compare to Rob Halford but if I close my eyes, I can barely tell the difference. You fucking nailed it man. And your guitarist and drummer are fucking awesome too!
Рік тому+5
I agree, no one will ever compare to Rob Halford. Thanks man!
Is there any great metal vocalist out there, that is a too hard competition for Erik ? He nails them all with total perfection and even makes it look easy..!? I'm impressed beyond sanity. Great, Erik. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 🤘🥳👍🌞
Dude... I love EVERYTHING I have found from you! I really dig the new Skid Row album, but I'm a metalhead... so you NAILED it here with one of my all time favorite songs. So glad you're doing well, Erik! Hope to keep seeing and hearing more from you!
OMG, this song is SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!!!! One of the most defining songs of heavy metal history! ❤️🤘 You guys did amazing, I can't even think of other adjectives to use here 😂
Рік тому+34
This song is so f***** bad ass! The definition of METAL!
@Erik Grönwall YOU are the definition of metal! 🤘 I've heard tons of Painkiller covers, but no one does it as amazingly good as you do! You're even doing it better than vocal legends like Ken Templin and Tim Owens!
Priest were so amazing... Imagine after a solid career, successfully albums like BS, DoF or SfV, and you make this... It's not just one of the best metal records ever made, I don't know if any band reach something like this a at point, after so many years and albums
The skill of the guitarrist playing the solo is high, very high. Impressive, clean, fluent and a pleasure to watch and listen. Congratulations brother!
So it's official, as all my favorite bands age Erik can do vocals for GNR, Motley, Skid Row, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and maybe AC/DC too? Lol. One vocalist to rule them all. I don't even know what to say.
Ok, bear with me on this, what I love so much is that some of the World's most talented musicians have exerted themselves to the max to move an incredible rock standard forwards by 10%.
A lot of modern bands today should start listening to this before they start playing their "heavy metal". Excellent cover, I'm excited. Thank you very much!
Wow, amazing! I was scared to click at first because it's Judas Priest, Painkiller, Halford so I was afraid I'd just be overly critical and not enjoy a cover but OMFG this was so good! You did amazing. I hope it reaches Rob because this was a true homage to him, to Priest and so great. wow. yeah wow.
Didn't expect this type of vocals out of you Erik! Förjävla bra! And that solo! Rarely do you hear anyone give the painkiller solos justice! Hatten av till er båda!
As an all-time die hard Priest fan all I can say is that, vocally at least, that´s maybe the best cover of that legendary song I have heard... good job Erik!
This fucking rocked harder beyond anything i could have imagined. The original is one of my favorite sings of all time. Thank you so much to all the guys involved 🤘🏻
Holy s***! This is absolutely amazing 🤘. I knew you would rock it, but I didn't expect it to be this good 🤩. I saw Judas live last year at a festival, but would have enjoyed it much more with you on stage 😂. Love Magnusson on the guitar 🤩 wow....awesome 💥🔥. Can't wait for the next song
Judas Priest were one of the first bands I ever listened to courtesy of my mum who listened to them when I was 3 haha. Think i was 13 when this album was released. I didn't think anyone else could do it but this is perfection.
OMG amazing!!!! I really love your version !! What a performance !! your voice is so powerful your really the best singer!! another 10/10 👏 Who could say you got shingles and an ear infection congratulations
Рік тому+2
Wow, I appreciate that. Thank you so much Violaine!
@ Erik you kill it in Skid Row and now with the Judas Priest cover what can you not do awesome work Skid Row is lucky to have found you and have you in the band
I love this cover. Rob Halford was often mumbling but loved him, and that whole album. Love everything oh and BTW your guitarist could com0ete with Ynwie Malsteen on fire. Hehehe THIS IS THE PAIN KILLER. I could use that. 😂❤😊 Keep this up Erik Gronwall. We all love you.
Congratulations Eric, without a doubt your talent gives new oxygen to the scene, I see your present on Skid Row and it reminds me of the movie Rock Star. I wish you good luck and I hope you can come to Buenos Aires
This was THE hardest song I've ever recorded on drums, but I'm so happy that I got to be a part of this cover with my friend, the one and only Erik Grönwall.
This guy has pipes like no one else. Serious power! Not to mention the hard-hitting production by master Jona Tee and the spot-on solo by Love Magnusson.
Thanks for all your nice comments! Keep 'em coming and keep spreading heavy metal to the world! 🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤
Thanks buddy and thanks for doing this one with me. It was a challenge for all us I think ;)
Well done with the drum intro !!!
Well sir.. you thoroughly kicked ass! ✌️❤️🤘
Nailed it. Nothing more to say, you just nailed it. So did everyone else.
That drum intro is one of the few songs that me makes me smile like a kid at christmas
the guitar solo was perfectly nailed, the guitarist is really skilled!!!
Was by far the best part. Singer sucked but the guitar was epic.
@@Isnogood12 "Singer sucked" lol, you must be a troll...
@@Isnogood12 Sucked? what the fok did I just read?
Actually the original vocal is way too weak and
feminine. I don't listen to JP studio track but this is a masterpiece :) Thank you Erik and the whole band for this :)
@@LuchezarTzochkov Have you just said the vocals in Painkiller are weak??
I've been a Priest fan for over 44 years, and I have to say, "I've listened to this version 60 + times in the last three weeks". You guys nailed the vibe on this one.
Check polish metal Alliance cover, same quality, or even better ;)
As a huge Judas Priest fan, I usually expect the worst when I see someone attempting to do a cover to this song but you guys killed it.
Yeah i know right... Not many people pull off Painkiller
Somebody needs to tell Rob about this. He would be touched and thoroughly amazed. He is the nicest guy in metal after all.. ✌️❤️🤘
Agree no one can do halford , till now . Dam I grew up with this. Great job
Go check my channel for some fun videos of the Metal God though ^^
Rob will fill the touch of evil.
As someone who has listened to Painkiller thousands of times, from the first time putting the saw toothed CD in my car, this is one best covers I have heard. True to the original with only minor additions. All the musicians did and outstanding job.
But is it as good as the Death cover? 😉
(Not quite but it is pretty darn good)
Good as a Angra cover. André Matos was a great singer too
Did we even listen to the same song? This was trash. Nothing compared to the original. Nothing even close to Rob. Hell, even Polish Metal Alliance did a ridiculously better job. Clearly all your "listened to thousands of times" was bullshit.

YEAH !
Came for the vocals, stayed for the guitar solo. Tipton-tier!
Ikr
For sure the band deserves big credit.
Kiko Loureiro cries sad on this solo. Kiko is an amateur 🤮
The whole cover is insane, the singer nails it but the lead guitarist is exceptional! Hands down!
He is Love Magnusson, one of the most talented guitarists this planet has ever seen.
This guy is the best vocalist I've seen in a long time,Skid Row,don't let this one get away,you haven't sounded this good since Slave.
And he even sound better with his former band, Check it out!
He’s fucking amazing in heat… I love them ! Xx
He he...
For a 3-4 years, they told him that he is not good.
He showed all 😂
This guy made a name for himself in Swedish Idol doing 18 and Life. It's really poetic having him front Skid Row after that.
@@BelsefulI've never seen anyone say he wasn't good
It is pretty damn amazing that Grönvall has the vocal range to cover BOTH Rob Halford and Sebastian Bach.
Jaw dropping…..best Painkiller cover bar none. Vocals and guitars absolutely spot on.
I saw Skid Row open for the Scorpions last year. This dude was perfection. I had heard he was good, but man, he could sing. I loved that show due to him.
From leukemia to Skid Row to this......goosebumps deluxe. All hail Erik, the band kicks ass and Love is totally in the zone.
Not only he nails the cover, but also doesn't limit himself to emulating Rob Halford, but puts his blend of singing the song without defacing it. Plus, man does he look great!
Guitar solo is the MASTERPIECE...
And made it look effortless, incredible!
"Malaaaaaaaaade!!!" (sick) Best cover of that song ever seen!! Vibes from Québec!
This song doesn't age. Amazing vocals, solos were perfect, everybody killed it!
You all did justice to a metal classic. Bravo.
I'm a die hard Priest fan and a vocalist, too. Excellent job. Congratulations.
Wow...
Perfect for Erik and Awesome Solo Guitar
What’s not to like about this cover? What musicianship! All participants did one hell of a job. Especially liked the solos with their own takes. Glenn Tipton approves! That I am sure of!
Damn Erik ur voice is out of this world. You are the man! I'm so glad u are with skid row!!!
Este no solo es un gran cover por la voz. TREMENDAS guitarras. Bravo!
I wanted to hear this very performance again. For me this is the ultimate heavy metal song of all time, surely you guys get my respect for this stellar cover!
How can I give more than one thumbs up? Erik, Rock and Roll has needed you for a long time (your band is amazing too).
I think the guitarist was equally as impressive! Super cover!!!! Dude you are an amazing singer. I hope all the cards fall in place for you! You deserve it.
Check out Dynazty. The lead guitarist is a monster with his band. Just great music.
He'll always just be an imitator though. But he can sing.
@@jeffrunyan2691 No way, man! Give a listen to H.E.A.T. band!
@@tomminappa2781 I mean as far as not being Sebastian. Not saying the guy isn't good there's a lot of guys from that country that seem like they can sing really well I'm just saying heavy metal to be fair is not at its peak any longer.

Guitarist was god-tier. Singer was trash.
Holy shit erik. This is by far your most incredible cover. You absolutely fuckin slay this track haha. Phenomenal vocals bro. Hope you take over the world and bring rock n roll back to the very very top. You deserve it brother.
Wow thank you for your kind words !
Espectacular versión del temazo de Judas!!! Erik está brutal !!! Love Magnuson, Jona Tee y Erik Modin bestiales también!!!! ! ! 🤘🤘🤘Larga vida al Metal!!!
This was the best cover I saw of this solo, the way of using floyd rose, besides the fidelity, oh god, it was insane
Iam going to state the obvious that is the best cover or tribute version i have ever heard.
Eriks vocal was excellent / the band are tight. The lead guitar work on that track sounds (to my ears) to be note perfect and executed with equal amounts finesse and style. Seriously good musicianship displayed by the whole band.
Demasiado brutal la versión y la canta a su estilo no imita a nadie y todos los.musicow son excepcionales
Exellent, Erik!!! Thanks a lot for you and your great band! Nice projects luck and health! 🤜🤛
Goosebumps!!
A massive, powerhouse, phenomenal cover!! You nailed it🤘
I also love guitar solo💜
Rob Halford would be proud of you🙏
Thanks Rika. I hope he'll like it if he sees it ;) He's the metal god!
@You are awesome!
You guys just killed this song. F-ing amazing from every member of the band. I can't believe I heard someone who does justice to Rob.. wow..
Ahhh the guitarist and drummer! Get it
このボーカリスト、すげー！
かっこいいぞ
Wow as a singer myself I have to say Erik is incredible, but wow that guitarist god damm he is incredible too.
Holy shit! All of you are amazing but that VOICE!! I have chills. You all nailed this song and that’s an understatement.
Dios mío!! Mira que es dificil la canción y la borda. Y ojo al giitarrista rubio. Se ha marcado solos nivel Dios... Muy grandes!!!
Love Magnusson de Dynazty es el guitarrista rubio. Un genio 🙆🏼♀️
@@marianapeppe Muchas gracias por la info. No los conozco y voy a poner remedio ahora mismo!!
I feel that Rob Halford and the gang need to be shown this cover, I'm 100% confident they'll love it, Rob might even reach out he's a legit cool dude.
Thanks man
Ooohhhh emmm geeee - I’m awake now !!!! Let’s slay this day 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻🖤
YEAH! Good morning!
Amazing! I'm been listening to this daily for 2 weeks now :) Great job guys.
This is insane! great cover.
The best cover on UA-cam. Unbelievable, I can't even put it into words. And that solo too, technically insane
Nobody will ever compare to Rob Halford but if I close my eyes, I can barely tell the difference. You fucking nailed it man. And your guitarist and drummer are fucking awesome too!
I agree, no one will ever compare to Rob Halford. Thanks man!
@ But MAN YOU NAILED IT HERE!
It's good to see this younger talent still holding 80s metal in high regard. Thanks Erik that was great.
Now THIS is a Thursday morning wake up call like no other! Well done Erik & Jona & Love & Erik M., & Jake the camera slayer!
@Diana Happy Wednesday to you! You work at one of the clubs in Vegas? I hope it was a good shift and now you have a Painkiller!
@Diana Ah! Gotcha! My older age leads to temporary confusion! Hope you had a good time!
Let's wake up the rest of the guys today (Friday)!
@ 🤣
The energy you invested in this performance extraordinary..the voice is just out of this world..
Is there any great metal vocalist out there, that is a too hard competition for Erik ?
He nails them all with total perfection and even makes it look easy..!?
I'm impressed beyond sanity.
Great, Erik. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
🤘🥳👍🌞
Nothing but great comments about this guy!!!.... and boy he deserves all of them!!!!
Tack Erik! Din röst är så fantastisk och killarna spelar instrument så skickligt! Bravo!
Dude... I love EVERYTHING I have found from you! I really dig the new Skid Row album, but I'm a metalhead... so you NAILED it here with one of my all time favorite songs. So glad you're doing well, Erik! Hope to keep seeing and hearing more from you!
Everyone talking about singer what about that solo on guitar
Right, absolutely nailed.

Es Erick el papu , que bestia 😍🎤🎸🤘
すげーーーーーーー かっこよすぎ！最高！！！

The world is getting to know Erik
More and more! So glad I knew about him going back to 2012.. just a full-on talent!

Erik, I could copy and paste the same comment in each song: “I have no words to describe the magic you do singing everything you sing”. Woooow!!!
Wow, amazing!

Check out the side band he did. I believe it was called new horizon. It's a metal album.
Well Ya`ll killed this one too! WOW, one of my favorite Priest songs of all. 🤟🤟
As an all-time die hard Priest fan all I can say is that, vocally at least, that´s maybe the best cover of that legendary song I have heard... good job Erik!
Bad ass!! I loved this song live from Priest! And equally love this from you and your talented musicians. Keep this going please.🤘🎤🤘🎸🎸🤘🥁🤘
God damn those vocals! I just found out about this guy and Holyshit he can hit those notes! 🤘🤘🤘
🇸🇪
... just... SENSATIONAL!!!
10/10 på både sång och gitarrsolo! Fantastiskt grabbar!
This fucking rocked harder beyond anything i could have imagined. The original is one of my favorite sings of all time. Thank you so much to all the guys involved 🤘🏻
Schockingly good!! Amazing version.
What the f....voice guitar drums bass YESSSSS AMAZING SHOW ❤
Holy s***! This is absolutely amazing 🤘. I knew you would rock it, but I didn't expect it to be this good 🤩. I saw Judas live last year at a festival, but would have enjoyed it much more with you on stage 😂. Love Magnusson on the guitar 🤩 wow....awesome 💥🔥. Can't wait for the next song
Thank you so much!!
Buffff, impresionante, tanto Erik como el grupo.
Judas Priest were one of the first bands I ever listened to courtesy of my mum who listened to them when I was 3 haha. Think i was 13 when this album was released. I didn't think anyone else could do it but this is perfection.
Thank you!
I can't wait to hear you sing The Sentinel !!!!
Хлопці ви неймовірні, життя продовжується)))
Världsklass Erik! Sjukt bra! Du sjunger helt fantastiskt bra! Och musikerna briljerar!
Dina covers är grymma!
Håller med dej , alltså han är nog en av dom bästa sångare jag hört , totalt världsklass
Another good performance. I saw this group also way back when.
Wow sick vocals, and the guitars were really well played, kudos! Bonus points for getting that sweep bit really slick :P
WOW! Fantastic! Great Cover!.......
This blew up my mind 🤯 it’s a blast 🤘🏼🔥🔥 amazing cover, amazing musicians and amazing voice!!
This kicks ass so hard🤘🤘😎
Años sin ver un vocalista con tanto talento!! Increíble presentación con Skid Row en monsters of rock. Chlie!!🤘
Fun fact :P The Solo guitarist on this song is actually the lead gutarist of the band Dynazty with Nils Molin at song (also from Amaranthe)
That's right! Great guitarist and Nils is a great singer
OMG amazing!!!! I really love your version !! What a performance !! your voice is so powerful your really the best singer!! another 10/10 👏 Who could say you got shingles and an ear infection congratulations
Wow, I appreciate that. Thank you so much Violaine!
