@@andreabradley5837 .. I was lucky to be turned onto it in 1976.. a guy giving me some bass playing tips spun the album for me and Priest immediately became my fave new band..

@@robertluck1325 Priest with Maiden would have been a dream come true for me!! I was very young in 76 so alas....I did see Maiden and Priest several times in the 80's just not together. You are so lucky!
In recent years that has become my favorite JP song. Of course, I'm 60 now, so it really hits home. When he's screaming I can't go on at the end it really sounds like the beautiful disintegration of a psyche.
I think it's too early for Painkiller. Let her see a bit of Priest's evolution first. They went through so many different phases until showing every other metal band of the 90s how it's done and delivering a complete and utter knockout punch.
There aren’t any good live versions of painkiller because he blew out his voice during recording and toured before letting it recover. Every video of that tour sounds horrible because of it.
A really interesting exercise from a vocal perspective would be to have her listen to Priest's version and then Death's version. because it shows how adding vocal distortion can change the sound. The notes are essentially the same (chuck's performance on that track is unbelievable) but adding a little more rasp and piling on the vocal distortion makes for a more aggressive vibe.
@@khellendross3573 too bad they've wasted that effort by having weak drumming - their version didn't even come close to the original. Weak drums, weak song.
@@saschaschneider6355 completely disagree. Richard Christy is a far better drummer. If anything the guitars in the death version are the weak point compared to the original.
I hope she doesn't listen to more live Priest, too bad she listened to the live version of this song. Halford has never been able to fully perform live to the studio level. And Unleashed in the East isn't a true live record last I heard.
This is my fave performance of Victim of Changes at this time though I'm sure there are many I've not yet seen. A commenter said it's from 2009. Excellent! Incredible performance!
I saw them twice in my very young years, and I can say you could hear every single word clearly, and his voice was powerful on every level. Some of the best live vocals I've seen, and I've seen a lot of live music during my life. You know when a band makes sure you can hear the vocalist so clearly, there is a reason. Rob is a Master, no doubt.
OMG! I'd almost forgotten that Rob Halford used to have hair! You should see him live : he delivers absolutely 100% the whole time. And I mean that in terms of the energy and commitment he puts into his singing. Also, I had to chuckle at your comments about the clothes. Just a few years later, they would come on stage in black leather with shiny steel studs.
I've have just one chance to see them. In the moment Halford appeared on the Harley with the Basque Country's flag over his shoulders I almost pee myself
They dint just wear black leather, they were one of the, if not the first to use it was the heavy metal uniform. Weird how it grew and changed in few years.
i love that she's only picking the live versions of these metal classics to scrutinize. almost all complaints are fixed in the studio but you can only ever fully judge someone musician to musician based on a single discrete unedited performance
Often the sound of a discreet live recording is at the mercy of the quality of the equipment being used to capture the sound, the acoustics of the room and the competence of the technicians. A lot of the short comings inherent in the source material here is due to the fact that the engineers had no idea what a Judas Priest is, no concept of progressive blues dynamics and would have had to be time travelers or oracles to anticipate the heavy metal paradigm which didn’t exist yet in the world when they recorded this. This band is not very similar to James Taylor or Jim Croce are they.
I saw them on the Sad Wings tour, at Birmingham Town Hall, it cost a quid to get in, they were more varied in those days, much better than the generic speed metal band they became in my opinion
@@Clivegsd Judas made speed metal since 1977 I mean how it can be generic when they did that before the so called Speed metal as Official movement . I agree that the 70s period was more creative and diverse....but the speed metal argument is invalid . They laid the ground for this . I mean even Tyrant live is speed metal , the live version of Genocide has speed metal double kick in your face moment while guitar duet Call For the Priest , Dissident agressor , Exciter ... that laid the ground for the speed , thrash or whatever ... Its not just Classic heavy metal .. And that mean nothing because thoses 1976-1979 , it was révolution after revolution .. it was new , it wasnt classic .
That version rules but unless someone is hearing that song *after* knowing how the original sounds on the album version they're not going to realize how amazing that performance is really.
you need to hear "victim of changes" if you want to know what rob is really capable of. rob is THE metal god. he is the king. the others are the royal court.
Halford's singing is a touch awkward here because of the live-in-the-studio environment where the amplification of the instruments is far lower than on a real stage. As a consequence, Halford has to hold back all the time to not overpower the band. This was recorded for the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test in 1976, by the way.
@Logan Waltz you don't forget how to sing but your body wears down! He can't sing like he use to,but at his age he is incredible to be hitting the notes he's still able to hit.i sing a lot of his best stuff in my cover band.
This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Really shows off his beautiful voice and range wonderfully. Really a unique band. Great lyrics, great singing, great riffs, lead playing, etc. Just discovered this reaction video. Didn't even know there was a BBC video showing them singing this live. Great stuff. Thanks for reacting to this!
@whatchutalkinbout Hi, have you seen this one? Of the few that I've seen, this particular video is my fave! And, it's from the later years of 2009. Such a great performance all around! ua-cam.com/video/J4d5sMg8eCE/v-deo.html

@@gordonmccullagh8675 Not TOTP, but Old Grey Whistle Test, a show which generally showcased much less heavy acts. I believe they threatened to cut them if they went above a certain volume or too much distortion, hence the slightly strangled guitar tone and lighter drumming.

@@Frustratia you're right it's still a good version and for all the reasons you mentioned (I didn't go into detail) that's why Priest had to play that way. Did I confuse the grey whistle set with totp? whoops I am sorry about that.
Your analysis was so technical and sweet that I got very misty-eyed virtually instantly. I promptly posted it on my Facebook page. Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver has been two of my favorite songs for decades...... One of these days, I'll tell you about how becoming a Tejano fan & karaoke singer helped my Spanish...starting with "Son Tus miradas," by Jay Perez "The Voice (of San Antonio)"
In the early 1980’s I was a teen and was getting into Metal. Every week I would find a new favorite band. That was until I bought Screaming for Vengeance. The vocal range was insane and it added a element to the metal sound. Judas Priest will always be my favorite band. Rob can sing a ballad or scream to the Heavens. Metal God!
I love that song and Judas Priest in general, but to be honest, I haven't seen any good live performance of this song. I think it's just impossible to perform it even remotely as good as the studio version is, the difference is enormous.
@@AdrianBumbarov I was mentally tricking myself and thinking this was gonna be a Victim of Changes reaction for a moment. I REALLY hope Beth gets that one going. My mind was blown when I recently heard it my first time.
Interesting that you picked this particular version of "Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver", as this was an earlier raw version of the song, recorded live in the Spring of 1975. The album version was recorded a few months later, and released in March of 1976 (and "cleaned up" a little more with the vocals and guitar tones), and still stands as one of the earliest blueprints for heavy metal epics, even to this day. As such, with this video you were really witnessing the birth of 80's heavy metal LONG before the 1980's ever reared its head. Fantastic job on this one. I thoroughly enjoyed your perspective on this classic track.
Every time I see Rob with hair it's priceless. You absolutely have to watch Painkiller after this, you will be in for such a surprise. I really enjoyed your reaction.
Rob is Great and so are quite a few other metal singers who will never get any mainstream recognition but who cares! Us metalheads will just enjoy them for our own selves !
As a singer and a huge fan of Robert Halford, I love this! I have to say that I get so much joy (and also a lot of great advice) from your videos! Thank you and please don't stop!

If you listen to the studio version,the high note he hits is an octave higher.... He is able to produce over tone when he hits high notes...he got better at singing live with time, but this was in his real early days
Please listen to Ripper Owens' live version in '98 of Diamonds and Rust. Quite possibly the greatest cover of all-time. Better than even Rob Halford's.
Just gotta say, major JP fan, but this is trash, don't get why fans refer to this as a great example of his voice. "Unleashed in the East", Victim of Changes...his best performance I have ever heard.
I think this live version is unfortunate compared to the studio version, since he sings the high part in a completely different key here and the song goes too slow for his singing. It's like he started out the high part in the original key but then thought "Damn, it's gonna be too loud in this setting if I continue with this".
Gillan gets a bad rep for his stint with the Sabs, but he had had vocal nodule surgery, and the doctor warned him not to sing at all until he'd fully recovered. He disobeyed doctor's orders and permanently wrecked his voice. I don't think David Coverdale ever dared to try to sing Child In Time.
Hi Beth, just a quick comment about his not quite perfect pitch at the beginning. So this recording was live on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" tv show from for 70's. Basically the band had sound issues during their stint on the show. The reason being they were used to playing a lot louder. Anyways, the environment for them at this point in their career was pretty alien to them and they've spoke about it many times so I imagine Rob Halford wasn't quite 100% comfortable during this. On the record he sings it perfectly and there was no autotune back then :) Great videos BTW keep up the good work.
She did it! Just saw that one. She loved Geoff Tate and was kinda blown away. ua-cam.com/video/OIHHrqzXAfs/v-deo.html Ooops, sorry. Different youtube vox coach. Still...
Oh yeah! I bought the Rocka Rolla album on the strength of the cover art, and love it. Such a pleasant era for Priest, before the heavy stuff came back. Love this band so much.
It really fascinates me to see a woman so young and with so much musical training sharing the taste for music that is part of the soundtrack of my life and that of so many others like me. More in the case of music that is 40 or more years old. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for finally listening to this wonderful singer and man. But let’s make a clear statement now: you’ve just been slightly touching the entrance of his amazing universe. By the end of your thumb. So much yet to be discovered!
Thanks so much for the reaction. Rob is such a legend. Thanks for now doing my top 3 favourite lead singers - Bruce Dickinson, James Labrie and now Rob Halford! Cheers!🍺
I'm shocked you didn't do Victim of Changes or Painkiller I'd also love to hear Stargazer by Rainbow, Cemetery Gates by Pantera, or really any King Diamond
You just got a new subscriber for sure! Your appreciation of the bold and the meek is refreshing. I'm learning a lot from you too. Please keep them coming!
They were all from the same roots . Which is Blues , Soul screamers and stuff .. But with an european operatic heritage . Robert plant was influential , but he took a lot from steve marriot . As far Judas priest scream goes .. its more on Deep purple side ... With Vibrato . Plant didnt that . On Glenn hugheson Trapeze era espacially Jury , And medusa .. as well than the riffing its quite close to What kind of song Priest did in thoses first 2 albums ..
I think Rob Halford on the first couple albums (which this clip is from) was still trying to develop his voice. I think it's like a kid learning to drive in a super car. Rob Halford and the whole band quickly realise who they are and then really begin to hone their sound.

Really weird seeing Halford with hair!
You should definitely take a listen to them doing The Sentinel :)
Agreed. One of my favourites and the high notes are ridiculous.
I second this comment. All fear the Sentinel!!!!!!!
He's better bald, right?
Those high notes are going to give Beth goosebumps.
Really weird seeing Halford without chains and leather...

He (and the whole band) are a living legend.
"He sounds angelic."
And Satan laughed.
Priest was far from a satanic band. Just saying.

Two years after they dressed in black leather.

Great point. Ability of any band is judged by their live performance IMHO
Often the sound of a discreet live recording is at the mercy of the quality of the equipment being used to capture the sound, the acoustics of the room and the competence of the technicians. A lot of the short comings inherent in the source material here is due to the fact that the engineers had no idea what a Judas Priest is, no concept of progressive blues dynamics and would have had to be time travelers or oracles to anticipate the heavy metal paradigm which didn’t exist yet in the world when they recorded this. This band is not very similar to James Taylor or Jim Croce are they.
You should do Deep Purple's Child in Time!!
yes!
yea there's a crazy live version of that as well. Good for a vocal reaction
YES! the live in Japan!
Rob Halford of Judas Priest cited Deep Purple's vocals as one of his influences.
You can hear "Child in Time" in the recorded version of this song
Made In Japan version is phenomenal, but equally great for the vocal part is the live color TV version from 1970. It's here on YT, easy to find.

You should react to Judas Priest's Painkiller!
Deep Purple , "Child in time" from live-album "Made in Japan".
Wait for the ricochet
Beth, The whole album ROCKS!!!
Child in time by Deep Purple would be nice
Made in Japan version
That one should be mandatory for every vocal coach - it´s the reference voice performance.
Absolutely massive tune that one.
Rob Halford is definitely one of the finest singers in metal but I can't even begin to describe how GODLY that guitar solo is!
Every time I see Rob with hair it's priceless.
You absolutely have to watch Painkiller after this, you will be in for such a surprise.
I really enjoyed your reaction.
Love this Beth. I remember seeing Priest in the early 70's. Local to me too. Brilliant Band.
Rob is Great and so are quite a few other metal singers who will never get any mainstream recognition but who cares! Us metalheads will just enjoy them for our own selves !
The word to describe the beginning part is ethereal.
Beth: "I think there's more to come" Me, a hard-core Priest fan - "Buckle up, the ride has just begun!"
As a singer and a huge fan of Robert Halford, I love this! I have to say that I get so much joy (and also a lot of great advice) from your videos! Thank you and please don't stop!

If you listen to the studio version,the high note he hits is an octave higher.... He is able to produce over tone when he hits high notes...he got better at singing live with time, but this was in his real early days
Please listen to Ripper Owens' live version in '98 of Diamonds and Rust. Quite possibly the greatest cover of all-time. Better than even Rob Halford's.
Just gotta say, major JP fan, but this is trash, don't get why fans refer to this as a great example of his voice. "Unleashed in the East", Victim of Changes...his best performance I have ever heard.
Rob halford looking into the camera was awesome and singing high notes out of no where. One of the best heavy metal live songs IMO.
I think this live version is unfortunate compared to the studio version, since he sings the high part in a completely different key here and the song goes too slow for his singing. It's like he started out the high part in the original key but then thought "Damn, it's gonna be too loud in this setting if I continue with this".
I agree. The studio version is much better.
@@domingoreyes9801 The low notes give me shivers. Too bad he didn't hit them.
If you look though this is before the studio version .
So glad you did this one. A particular favorite of mine. Rob has always been the best there is.
Halford in his heyday could give Ian Gillian and Robert Plant a run for their money.
Heck he's STILL perfectly capable of doing so.
Gillan gets a bad rep for his stint with the Sabs, but he had had vocal nodule surgery, and the doctor warned him not to sing at all until he'd fully recovered. He disobeyed doctor's orders and permanently wrecked his voice. I don't think David Coverdale ever dared to try to sing Child In Time.
@@Dragonblaster1 sabs?
@@Kgio-2112 Black Sabbath
Halford is way better than plant and Gillian
Rock's_Not_Dead I disagree. At least one of us is wrong.
Love, love, love this track. It really takes you on a journey. Amazing.
Hi Beth, just a quick comment about his not quite perfect pitch at the beginning. So this recording was live on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" tv show from for 70's. Basically the band had sound issues during their stint on the show. The reason being they were used to playing a lot louder. Anyways, the environment for them at this point in their career was pretty alien to them and they've spoke about it many times so I imagine Rob Halford wasn't quite 100% comfortable during this. On the record he sings it perfectly and there was no autotune back then :) Great videos BTW keep up the good work.
love her personality
Judas Priest - painkiller is a must!!
Thank you for allowing me to see one more person experience this song for the first time.
React to “Sinner” by Judas Priest that is one of their best tunes hands down 🤘
'Run of the mill' Judas Priest. Talk about vocals...wow!
Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame (Live in Tokyo)!
She did it! Just saw that one. She loved Geoff Tate and was kinda blown away.

Ooops, sorry. Different youtube vox coach. Still...
well, she did it anyway
By far my favorite era of Priest. Those early records were amazing- Sin After Sin is my favorite Priest album; Simon Phillips on drums!
Back when Preist was more hippiefied lol. Great song, great reaction!
This is def one of their best albums. Love this track.
This is Rob singing in a straight jacket, not a leather one. Still a Rock God.
Diamonds and Rust
Oh yeah! I bought the Rocka Rolla album on the strength of the cover art, and love it. Such a pleasant era for Priest, before the heavy stuff came back. Love this band so much.
I'm a life long metal head and I LOVE seeing you enjoy this stuff :-)
They're all so young here! This was roughly when my dad first got into them.
It really fascinates me to see a woman so young and with so much musical training sharing the taste for music that is part of the soundtrack of my life and that of so many others like me. More in the case of music that is 40 or more years old. Keep up the good work!!!
Child in time by Deep Purple pls!
thanks!! one of my favorite Priest tunes!
Love watching you react to The Metal Gods Judas Priest with the Metal God himself Rob Halford.... Do more Priest... he is amazing.
So much passion in this girl.
Beth, the queen of reactions, we love you girl
I can remember watching this at the time wow time flies
Thanks for finally listening to this wonderful singer and man. But let’s make a clear statement now: you’ve just been slightly touching the entrance of his amazing universe. By the end of your thumb. So much yet to be discovered!
Thanks so much for the reaction. Rob is such a legend. Thanks for now doing my top 3 favourite lead singers - Bruce Dickinson, James Labrie and now Rob Halford! Cheers!🍺
I'm shocked you didn't do Victim of Changes or Painkiller
I'd also love to hear Stargazer by Rainbow, Cemetery Gates by Pantera, or really any King Diamond
Would love to hear her reaction to "Victim".
You just got a new subscriber for sure! Your appreciation of the bold and the meek is refreshing. I'm learning a lot from you too. Please keep them coming!
I'm gonna say it again, I would love to see you react to some Gojira. You would be amazed by Joe
Yep, that wa a masterpiece from Judas. !!
In those years all singers were trying to imitate Robert Plant. By the way, the review of Stairway to Heaven would be a blast.
They were all from the same roots .
Which is Blues , Soul screamers and stuff .. But with an european operatic heritage .
Robert plant was influential , but he took a lot from steve marriot .
As far Judas priest scream goes .. its more on Deep purple side ... With Vibrato .
Plant didnt that .
On Glenn hugheson Trapeze era espacially Jury , And medusa .. as well than the riffing its quite close to What kind of song Priest did in thoses first 2 albums ..
One of the best rock ballads EVER!!
Priest is still putting out bangers. Their newest album, Firepower, is one of the best albums they've ever put out.
amazing singing by rob and the video of course
I think Rob Halford on the first couple albums (which this clip is from) was still trying to develop his voice. I think it's like a kid learning to drive in a super car. Rob Halford and the whole band quickly realise who they are and then really begin to hone their sound.
