@@railander Oh don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about helium voice. I think it's very funny and appreciate the humor in it. Imagine being delusional enough to think that a helium voice sounds so great that you need to be grateful for it? Can you imagine someone living with that level of delusion in their life? Cuck for sure
Rob is sounding better than in Powertrip last year. The fact that he's singing this well at his 70s is absolutely insane, I can't recall another metal vocalist doing it like this at Rob's age. Incredible
He sounds like shit imo. Dio was 68 in 2010 and he sounded much, much, muuuch better. King Diamond is 67 and still he sounds pretty good. Joe Lynn Turner is the same age as Rob and he is much better live. Halford sounds incredible due to studio magic, but his live performances are weak af.
@@pikeybot God Bless him🙏🙏 It must be so frustrating for him not being able to tour/play live😞 My Dad has Parkinson's too and I know the devastation it brings to that individual and their family ☹️ Stay strong Glenn💪 You are in my prayers🙏🙏♥️♥️
It is a treat really, that we can still see/hear Priest live. When you factor in Rob's age, it is frankly amazing. Bless him for still delivering for us, particularly those of us who having been listening since 1980 (me, when I was 9 years old), or earlier.
I didn't think that a lot of the fans get that one of the primary things Priest is still doing shows for, is to showcase and honor Glenn in one way or another... Which i think it awesome, and it shows their love and respect for him.
Yeah, you have to do that especially at that age. I remember talking to Ralf Scheepers before a show once and I was wondering why he was whispering lol.
my 1st Judas Priest concert was the Painkiller tour, i have quite a fair few bits of memorabilia from that tour, a copied signed print merry Christmas Painkiller poster, tour book, magazine cut out, painkiller kicks ass 🤘
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide. LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!! AND ALSO THIS IN MAC TODAY [[ music appreciation class]]
My first Judas Priest Concert was 1979 in Essen, Germany as the support Act for AC/DC. To that time i already knew them from the records. They have always been my No.1 Metal Band - and it will go on. Unfortunately i have no chance to see them live (anymore?) since i live in China for more than 12 years..or...the Priest might come here to play Gigs.
They finally lowered the key. Amazing that Rob still sang it in the original key and held his own for so long. He completely outdid even his younger self in the studio that day.
I don't think it's all on KK. Yes, he's said some stuff, but I think a lot of it is directed at their manager, Jane. I mean, she said KK looked outta place n that he didn't have it anymore, after he played the RNRHOF
While it'd be great to see KK link up with Priest again, I really like his current band that he has with Ripper Owens! Both of those albums KK's Priest put out are great!
They still sound great even though I miss KK’s and Glen’s dueling riffs. Faulkner is clearly the star now while Sneap just sort of fills the rest out. Hats off to Halford!! 👍
Richie is a truly phenomenal guitarist and Andy Sneap too who I've followed since his days in Sabbat. I will neve get used to not seeing KK and Glenn with the band. Their chemistry was the beating heart of the bamd. Still love priest and always will there's just aome magic not there anymore without the originals's twin guitar attack.
I wasn't sure if I want to see them or not on this tour because of Rob's age, no hesitation after this... His vocal is not great by any means but definitely a lot better than I expected.
I mean, for 72, almost 73 he's doing just fine. And you're right, I've watched recordings of it from the early 90s and even then, it wasn't exactly like the record version. Although if you want to see peak performances of this song, I'd suggest looking up performances from the 2015 tour. Rob was absolutely on fire that tour.
@@FlagerMiszcz I mean, this stuff is subjective like anything else. Saying he sounds like “shit” I think is being disingenuous. He certainly doesn’t sound exactly like the recording and is clearly taking short cuts, but he sounds perfectly fine considering his age, at least IMO. Now, if you want to hear someone that sounds like actual shit go listen to Vince Neil blabbering his way through Kick Start My Heart at any recent concert. It’ll make Robs performance here sound downright amazing.
You can see the passage of time in halford...the vowels are already far below what they were...we must appreciate that he is still singing but nothing like what he was...some will be upset...sad but true
In my opinion as a FOH professional Sound Engineer there applying way to much delay on Rob's vocals it doesn't sound like that on the album, the delay is over lapping 🤘☠️🤘!!!
As much as I LOVE this song, Rob really hasn't been able to do it justice for a long time. It's the one song that just has way too many high notes. I think it's time to drop it in favor of something else from the album, like All Guns Blazing.
How can Halford still sing like that ?? Even in my teens 20s 30s I could not sing like that...Digging Scott Travis more and more but Dave Holland was the best drummer..Priest has even gotten more heavy and thrash with age--which is insane
So many assholes on here with zero respect🤨🤨 See what you can do at 72, hope you have more support than you are giving this METAL GOD!!! Judas Priest Forever 🤘🎸🤘
Nothing off! Richie Faulkner is a metal God. Ian Hill a Beast. Glen Tipton- Twin Attack Monster. Then we have Halford. The best frontman who actually sings ever. The best Priest album for me will always be Screaming for Vengeance. The best Priest song however is Painkiller in the midst of Grunge. Ugghhh! The Best Cocktail Ever - The Painkiller - appropriately from The Soggy Dollar Bar from The British Virgin Islands but F$&k Pussers Rum!
Rob looked knackered throughout this concert. I don't see why they don't just call it a day. They've nothing to prove. Rob can't sing Painkiller anymore. His voice is gone. He should sing at a lower level. Big changes since KK left and Glens Parkinsons diagnosis. The energy is gone Rob seems bored or tired.
This had to go down as the worst sounding gig I have ever been to, the sound was absolutely garbage where I was. Just awful - we left early and by the looks of this it didn’t improve.
Absolutely, I came on here to see if anyone else had the same experience. The sound was so ear-piercingly loud on the vocals and lead guitar. Couldn't even hear the bass. It was so screechy and shrill, absolutely horrible and my ears were aching afterwards. The sound engineer should be sacked! In contrast, Saxon and Uriah Heep sounded excellent!
@@rmca11 I fully agree. It was shit even through my ear protection. I took my daughter out after a while. We got so exhausted of the awful singing and sound.
Maybe the venue has something to do with it, where we were sitting (rear stalls, Ian Hill's side) the bass dominated, the loudest bass mix I have ever heard@@rmca11
great song and a fan favorite but rob just can't sing in that high note end to end like he did when he was 50 and it's probably hard on his voice, that said he did a good job being in his 70's
Halfords vocals are amazing for his age!! Faulkner is an absolute shredder 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Helium voice, like the version of Painkiller in Brazil from 1990

Eric Adams - Manowar, see some live videos from 2023..... Incredule lungs!
Biff in Saxon. In fact, as a whole, over the last few years, Saxon 's albums have been heavier than Priests. Of course, my humble opinion🙂
Faulkner was on fire. Nice touch with Tipton on the screen.
Agreed. I noticed him on the screen and thought he was on stage making a 5 minute appearance, nearly wet myself 😂😂😂
@@stevenblakeakahashburns I thought the same!
but he coudnt do the solo

@@ptpt8615 Ohhhhhhh that hurt but you're right actually!
KK‼️
@@ptpt8615he doesn't have a life threatening disease.
Holy hell, Rob is 72 and singing like this!
Rob is still taking precautions with his voice on this tour. It's a smart thing to hold back a little so the voice gains momentum and lasts.
Yes he is. He cuts his notes short to not damage his chords. Very smart
Yeah, you have to do that especially at that age. I remember talking to Ralf Scheepers before a show once and I was wondering why he was whispering lol.
Scott has been a great friend and fellow drummer for years. They still sound phenomenal!
Never thought I'd hear Rob hitting those notes 46 years after I first saw Priest live ..... before this song was written !
Painkiller is 34 years old 😮 Just seems like yesterday I bought album and nearly blew the house down playing it🤘🤘🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Best ....Einzigartig !!!👍👍👍
They kill it just wow!!
The fact that Richie literally ripped his heart open playing this song and is still kicking ass is a testament to his abilities.
I'm just happy that after so many decades they're still kicking ass, long live Judas Priest! 🤘🏾
Well said mate🤘🤘🎸🎸♥️♥️♥️♥️
FAULKNER IS A BEAST!!!! GREAT IMAGE ON THE BACKGROUND DURING THE SOLO!!! JUDASSSS 4EVER
As much as I miss the original lineup, Priest still kick some ass period🔥
Last member of original lineup has left the band in 1973, what do you miss there?
Bruh…I think he meant their prime so KK Downing and Dave Holland
Son una verdadera aplanadora!! Ya estoy esperando la noticia de que vuelven a dar su clase magistral de Heavy Metal en Argentina!!
JUDAS PRIEST has Evolved and is Adapting to Survive the Times. NUFF RESPECT METAL MASTERS!!!
Brilliant 🤘
When this song came out I smashed two cars up listening to it !
Music to make your teeth bleed 👍
I can see Glenn's soul in this song

I still think Richie and Scott should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame with the rest of Priest.....
Scott was inducted, but Richie wasn't because of some bulls**t Hall of Fame rule.
The metal gods ever.
Holy crap the priest is back
🎉
Rob is incredible
amazing! Richie plays amazing, Glenn on the screen is a great touch, and Rob’s voice is spot on. great performance!

SEE YOU GUYS AT LOUDER THAN LIFE FEST IN LOUISVILLE!! 🛡 ☠️ 🔥 🎸
Would love it Kk would bury the hatchet and play now an then with Richie I am guessing Glenn is stopping that happening an old age stubbornness.
I don't think it's all on KK. Yes, he's said some stuff, but I think a lot of it is directed at their manager, Jane. I mean, she said KK looked outta place n that he didn't have it anymore, after he played the RNRHOF

Painkiller je nejlepší album!!!
Tipton passed the torch to faulkner who is doing an excellent job.
JP does not have to prove Jack squat anymore, they kill it!
Shame the crowd were so lacklustre and just standing there...great song....for his years,Rob can still sing a great song...class!!!!!
Ричи просто бомба
Spectacular show in Glasgow ❤
Vocally lil bit weaker but it was just a warmup for Halfie😬😎
Was it half empty?
How can anybody slate Rob's vocals...1000% better than Paul Stanley on Kiss final tour and NO tapes !!!
Sick shit! This album changed everything. Painkiller that is. I love all their stuff, but Painkiller studio version? f yeah.
I get emotional when I see Glenn on the wall,doing the solo..
Con 73 años es increíble como defiende un tema que nadie ha podido cantar. Me parece impresionante. A mamar haters!
nadie?
Lo defiende, pero pierde la batalla...ya es demasiado para Rob..a saber...Amo a Judas!
April 19th!!!!!!
Saxon and Priest tore Dublin a new one last nite. Bunch of old guys wtf🎉

Andy Sneap. Hardly new. He has been touring with them for
Past 6 years
A very small stage. They used to play in large venues.
Роб молодец

I've seen a lot worse performances of this song. I don't think Rob was even able to pull it off exactly like on record in 1990-91. Screw the haters.
Perfectly said. Tbh I would be really glad if guys dropped this monster and included for example Heroes End or Reckless

How the front people dont move their bodies or headbanging in this song?
VIP corner , they are like "headbanging ? huh huh "
On their mobiles! How gigs have changed, energy generated
from punters rocking out to energy simply used by their precious phones🤨
It was a fully seated concert
because the average age was around 60... duuuh!
maybe they're deafened by his screeches
Why is the crowd just standing there?
They probably shouldn't play this song live anymore.
2:17Is that really a guy in a sweater and an Oxford shirt in the front row? Man, how concerts have changed over the years.
It's a concert for 3 bands from the 1970's. Do you realise how old their fans are? 60/70 yrs old.

No.
