Tim Owens, truly "living the dream" here. How many times do u think as a youngster he faced the mirror & pretended he was next to KK & Glen fronting Priest? And here he is! One of the greatest stories ever in Rock & Roll/Metal.
Here's the reality of that whole situation: Halford- probably the greatest metal frontman in history. Ripper- probably the greatest replacement singer in history, and a good singer in his own right. fair?
He's so good and so underrated. There will never be another Halford, but Ripper gets unfairly dissed by dumb Priest fans. This rendition of The Sentinel was at least as good as Halford's. Ripper's screams were better and the rough quality of his voice was better suited to the 90's, when this stuff was recorded. He gave us 7 years of kickass Priest that wouldn't otherwise have happened. There's only one metal god, but Ripper's haters can STFU.
I must say I hadnt been impressed with a Preist album since Turbo & that wasnt too great. Painkiller & Touch of Evil were Great,didnt care for anything on the album. - I picked up Juggulator CD for 2.00 at a Flea market ...... And EVERY song kicked ass. I really relly like it a lot . And his voice does go better for the changing times imo. Bit more virsitle than Halford. Sorry people ,Im a long time Presit fan since Sin after Sin ,but just calling it how I see it.
My feeling is can you imagine what the members of Judas Priest must have felt when Rob Halford left them and all those years that they long to be on stage performing their music and then to find The Shining Light find the needle in the haystack Ripper Owens comes and Saves the Day for the members of the band. and they get a chance to do what they love at a super high level. Man that must have been unbelievable for both Owens and the members of Judas Priest. But I got to say no matter how great Ripper Owens is when he tackles those incredible priest songs. There is no one that sings them songs better than Rob Halford. He put his whole being into those lyrics and into the delivery of the lyrics and personified all of those lyrics. The characters that he assumes with his voice like in songs like the ripper he actually sings it as if he were the character himself. electric eye diamonds and rust live Unleashed in the east the tyrant. from sin after sin dissident aggressor. The list is endless the immense musician visionary and vocalist that Robert Halford was and still is ,let us never say someone is better than that guy when it comes to what he sang with Judas Priest. He is the vocalist of Judas Priest forever and ever amen
@@97warlock well what happened was Ripper Owens had many different influences obviously Rob Halford being one of the main ones so that's why he comes off with so much diversity. As well Rob Halford organically developed his style and his approach with very few vocalist getting anywhere near that ability besides deep purples and Led Zeppelin when Rob Halford was coming up. But Rob Halford took that and just went way above any of those two vocalists. Owens is an amazing vocalist but without Rob Halford Owens would be missing one hell of an influence in his voice. Rob Halford forever and always is what I say
This kids voice is incredible. Yes, he doesn't have the swag and stage presence of Rob Halford, but I give the guy credit for getting up there and belting out Priest jams with everything he's got. Those songs ain't easy to sing.
Great version. Tim had balls stepping into the lead singer role in Priest. Sure he took a lot of heat for it, but he sang like a champ. He's got talent and has moved onto other projects.
I like Ripper. He seems like a goofy, cool guy that hits all the bells on the Goof-O-Meter being fun loving and silly, yet still has a voice that can shatter glass. A+ 👍
Priest fan here... this is what Priest offered at this time ...plain and simple...they thought it was what they needed to do to survive. can't shoot the dude down for wht the rest of your heroes chose... they carried on as best they could. All in all Priest has left us an undeniable legacy to resonate for decades and for that, we should rejoice.
same here. saw em with halford around 2005 or so but i so wished to see them with Ripper. Seeing them with Rob was such a dissapointment for me as I started my JP listenting journey with Ripper and Halford sounded very bad live at the time. it just wasn't there. painkiller at the end of the set...man...he sounded like a parrot. weak and tired.
So nice to see a video where Ripper wasn't half assing it. The Sentinel off of Live in London was completely phoned in - its as if here he still had something to prove
Ripper is an awesome singer, it's nearly effortless. However, he is really very awkward in himself, comical at times. It's easier to just listen and not watch. If he had stage presence he would still be with priest because Rob's voice died slowly. Ripper was a great replacement vocally but he is so uncool. Jesus why didn't they groom him for the role and get in some choriographers to help him. He looks a little nerdy. However, saying all that....what an awesome voice (but you need more than that)
I agree completely. Ripper's vocal range was probably better than Halford's by the time this video was recorded, but he just doesn't act like a Metal God on stage, y'know? Half of the appeal of Judas Priest is massive stage acts and the guy doesn't really seem to have the gravitas to deliver.
MalikCarr I agree too, I recently saw them and Richie although he's been in this band for around 3 years now he just fits in perfectly like a puzzle piece while Ripper just sticks out like a sore thumb
GrayWoIf I don`t think that... Only look the concert in London on 2001.. Ripper has his own style... he is charismatic and is very enthusiasthic with the crowd... He has his own style... Rob Halford at his return with JP in 2005 is a very narcissistic and egocentric guy.... Both are great but Ripper is singin better than Halford nowadays... Only listen his performance on Painkiller and compare with the performance of Halford on Graspop 2008
Ripper is way better nowadays, he just didn't have any experience back then. He looks like a real metal icon now, but sadly he has to perform to very limited audiences. Just search for his recent live performances on UA-cam.
Tim is and was a badass with priest. Most of the time he held his own or on some occasions even topped Halford on the older songs imo but this one can never be topped. Halford on the live album screaming out condemned to hell!!! Will never be topped. That was the perfect version. ua-cam.com/video/-Fl7yNIPlGM/v-deo.html
you numbskull. they didnt tune it down because of his voice range. why lowkey diss ripper like that? LOL. if anything, ripper can sing higher than halford and has more power to it as proven time and time again. the reason for the downtuning is that they promoted songs from their then new release Jugulator and since those songs were lower tuned, they wanted to avoid having a million different tuned guitars on tour so they just carried on with those guitars for their other songs, for the most part. it was a logistical decision, nothing more, nothing less
Saw this tour.he was awesome then and still great. I like ripper better than halford Simply because he added another element to priest.a different vocal range and tone. Noone else could have pulled this off
Ripper can hit the high notes Halford can't reach anymore but Rob has more stage presence in his pinky than Ripper has period. Ripper was great fill in tho.
ripper is awesome but this song just sucks if someone else does it than halford. same thing would happen to halford if he tried to sing burn in hell or jugulator.
Well, I think Owens was the best choice for Priest, and by the way I think Owens dont fits in Slayer or Testament his style is pure and the best Heavy Metal, I think the perfect bnd for him was Iced Earth he has to stay there, or Manowar.
people bitching about rippers stage presence, halford was hardly a fuckin acrobat was he?? been watching a lot of priest stuff, he doesn't really do anything.
I'd have to respectfully disagree..... Tim is better than Rob's 2000-plus era.... In the 90s Rob was still a God..... I saw Priest in '91 for their Painkiller tour... Rob was off the HOOK!!!!!! And Rob's tenure in "Fight" was beyond awesome as well... But yeah, I saw Priest in 2001 in a small venue with Da Ripper fronting.... And he was great!!!!

+theravenousbeast his low voice kick halford in the ass, listen to rapid fire for example. but halford has better highs on turbo lover and this and some other songs. just sounds too metal when ripper sings them :D i like rippers voice a lot and he nails every note on demolition and jugulator and sounds awesome in iced earth
@@rcmartins I don't know about that man. Rob Halford is the originator without Rob Halford Ripper Owens loses most of his style. He influence Ripper Owens immensely Ripper Owens owes so much to Rob Halford. Rob Halford in Judas Priest come on bro listen to to dissident aggressor nobody is better than Rob Halford. Rob Halford created all of those lyric passages man with the most incredible vision and delivery vocal prowess unmatched my bro. But greatness is greatness and Ripper Owens is great for sure but to say better then. That's sacrilegious bro!
I waa at a music store back in the day. I saw this live ""Meltdown" C.D. i bought it cuz its PRIEST!! And it had alot of the old tracks live on it. The new stuff i didn't know about. Hell i didmt even know Halford left and Ripper replaced him. I put c.d. in and on "Electric Eye" 1st track i was like..WHAT THE FUCK!!. What is this shit? . But i gave it a chance..I..to this day still jam the ""Jugulator" c.d. Ripper Owens gets down!!. I saw them in the Canyon Club in Dallas, Tx. On there "Demolition" tour..kicked ass!!
Tim did an awesome job as Rob's stand-in. The only other singer who could have done it is german singer Ralf Schaepers from Prinal Fear, who almost sounds identical to Ron Halford.
Well, Dickinson is the singer virtually everyone associates with Iron Maiden. Paul Dianno and the others appeared on only a couple albums out of their extremely long and productive career, so I don't consider Dickinson a replacement singer. Dio, sure. Got me there. Of course Sabbath sounded completely different with Dio and Ozzy, like a totally different band. Priest retained their signature sound, with Ripper clearly emulating Halford to a large degree. Kind of apples and oranges..

Fair and square
I respect anyone who can sing Priest songs and do them justice. But there’s only one Halford!
Ripper🤘🏽
I love the Live Meltdown album, Ripper killed it.
I'd say John Bush with anthrax bettered joey belladonna but I agree ripper had a larger task and more than held his own
The amazing thing about Ripper is that this was over 20 years ago. He hasn't lost a thing. Incredible.

Live in texas 86 is the best!!
Ripper is a Beast!
One of the best singers ever!
TIM RIPPER OWENS TAKES FROM THE HAND JUDAS PRIEST TO SAW THE LIGHT AGAIN AFTER HALFORDS DEPARTURE.FOR ME RESPECT RIPPER OWENS.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Besides his stage actions I can't find nothing worse than rob. He deserved more, respect from south korea Tim.
God I wish I had seen Priest live. One of my few that slipped through my fingers

He's one amazing singer.
Ripper is The Beast
To get the role of a lifetime and absolutely nail it. Legend. And one of the best live singers from 1998-2005, easily.
Yea, they rocked that.
Tim holds his own, Rob Halford, hard shoes to fill, but I want to hear more.
Ripper knocked it Out of the Park!
Absolutely no charisma, but one of the greatest singers.
I saw him with Yngwie Malmsen a few years after this.
Singing 10/10
Stage antics 3/10
@@justanaturaldisaster Maybe he should have pulled his hog out on stage and beat it!
That's worth 3 full points right there.
(Hog meaning Harley)
Yeah his stage is terrible haha
singing is 15/10
El que llegue a Judas Priest se transforma en un Dios.
Wow, that was cool!

Perfect
Tim "Brave" Owens. Nice!
Incredible!!!!!
VHS tape gd old days
So nice to see a video where Ripper wasn't half assing it. The Sentinel off of Live in London was completely phoned in - its as if here he still had something to prove
Ripper live is way better than the new halford, I know Rob is old and still got it but Tim's voice is stronger and cleaner
I Love Rob..
ralf scheepers can nail it clean!!
very very good

Pedazo de voz!!!

God like voice, weird stage routine 😂
Judas did it right to tune the songs down to fit in Tim's voice range.

Guy did a great job but Halford IS Judas Priest. It's like sticking a Ford emblem on a Mack truck, it's just not the same.

Да се чуди човек, що изобщо го взеха... Никак, ама никак не ми хареса
i think this 98 tour and the gettsysburg trilology were rippers best
esta es la version del '98 live meltdown
Nooooooo!!!!, Aquí se vio que Rob es el mejor!!
Is the timing off a bit?
Such an angry song!
Ripper Rips Halford.
Greatest replacement singer in history? So what do you call Ronnie James Dio, and Bruce Dickinson?
Sort of sad to watch this. Glenn's abilities have declined SO much in the past 20 years. :( Can't believe it's been that long already.
It's called getting old man
Fighting Parkinson’s for 10 years would take its toll eventually
Ah, this is when they should have invited Ralph into the band. If so, I doubt Halford would have returned. And I know shit!
I love this 98 version, quite honestly Ripper kills halford
Halford's live version from 1986 crushes this. Tim is a great singer but he is not even close.
HECHOGAMER MX xaxaxaxa..lol
Halford is my idol and my favourite singer, but objectivley Ripper is far more consistent live and has more power delivery in his voice.
Ripper can hit the high notes Halford can't reach anymore but Rob has more stage presence in his pinky than Ripper has period. Ripper was great fill in tho.
theyre both good but tim deffinitely doesn kill halford whatever that means
Gee , do you think Ripper injected some needed energy? That would be yes.
ripper is awesome but this song just sucks if someone else does it than halford. same thing would happen to halford if he tried to sing burn in hell or jugulator.
Well, I think Owens was the best choice for Priest, and by the way I think Owens dont fits in Slayer or Testament his style is pure and the best Heavy Metal, I think the perfect bnd for him was Iced Earth he has to stay there, or Manowar.
Owens is a good singer, but well below Master Rob!

Ripper is good. But he looked like a chubby drunk Johnny Depp
陳阿明 lol
Faulkner and Sneap can't play that intro...
It would suits tims voice more if they didn't down tune
mistake and go to hall
q
Ummm, JP without RH is BS.
Ripper is always boring, he seems to be bored too. He's like giving 50% of himself to the show.
He has a great voice, but as a performer, not so much.
This concert was great, and somehow the live album that came from it is not...
hes a decent stand in. shitty front man though.
and seems awkward while performing
Dudes notes are great but just not real feals like cover band
This is gay replecemet for (good) gay singer (was)...
This ripper looks so gay that its so annoying, just look his/her hairstyle!
Tim = Better singer (in live), if you compared him to Rob's 90s-2000s era...
Rob = Much better frontman
geeze. . he really improves the song. . at least with the very first verse. ..
Define 'better'. These days, Halford mostly bends over and occasionally moves to the opposite side of the stage.
Not exactly Freddie Mercury, there.
Totally agree...
The Rageaholic tbf that’s more than ripper does in this video
I'd have to respectfully disagree.....
Tim is better than Rob's 2000-plus era....
In the 90s Rob was still a God.....
I saw Priest in '91 for their Painkiller tour...
Rob was off the HOOK!!!!!!
And Rob's tenure in "Fight" was beyond awesome as well...
But yeah, I saw Priest in 2001 in a small venue with Da Ripper fronting....
And he was great!!!!
ティムの声は素晴らしいけど、残念ながら鋼鉄神としての器がないんだよ。見た目も立ち振る舞いも全てがチープ。
Rob Halford is my favourite frontman and singer of all time.
But saying JP with Ripper is bullshit is kinda ignorant :)
Great Voice
amazing
Scott Travis is one of the best drummers in metal, check out that fill at 4:40. Plays that sh*t with ease, he is so much better than the previous drummer they had it's a shame Scott wasn't in the band in the 80's.
Yes!I like Judas priest only with Scott Trevis! When I was small, in judas priest have no Scott, and I don't like Judas
Perfect tuning, heavy and powerful
still getting goosebumps listening to this song. Ripper was so awesome :3 I regret not seeing them live in this period
This song really fits his vocal range. The lows dare I say sound better than Halford's (don't kill me).
He can basically sings anything but lacks a bit of stage presence imo. Also the metal community is super conservative and will always flame any replacement.
he's good but rob is unique...
+theravenousbeast his low voice kick halford in the ass, listen to rapid fire for example. but halford has better highs on turbo lover and this and some other songs. just sounds too metal when ripper sings them :D i like rippers voice a lot and he nails every note on demolition and jugulator and sounds awesome in iced earth

aguante ripper
Love Tim, but ever time I watch Priest....God DAMN Glen is a fucking Guitar God.
that guy is fucking awesome. \m/
