    First of all, I was there. I'm even in the crowd videos, pretty much second row. Second, I met Rob about 3 years later at a bar next to LAX. (Yeah, it was a gay bar) I was introduced to him by one of his best friends, Lemmy Kilmister. Long story but, Lemmy said, "We have to pick up my friend at the airport. He's a queen & he's one of my best friends. Don't tell anyone because it would hurt him". And I never did until years later. I was 19. Rob & Lemmy treated me like gold. Two of the most beautiful human beings I've ever met. I learned more about humanity from these two wonderful people than most of the folks I dealt with during the 80's...

    On the studio version, especially during the slow middle bit, he sings the lines much more, sustaining the notes with nice vibrato. When you catch live versions, the bands have been on the road for months, performing nightly, and you can hear it in Rob's voice here. He's cutting a lot of notes short to preserve his voice, probably for the high notes, for which of course, Rob is legendary.

      I actually prefer the live versions of all of their earlier stuff. I've been a huge Priest fan since I was a kid but I always thought the studio albums up through Turbo sounded too clean and processed. I enjoyed the Unleashed in the East versions and the versions on the live video from the Screaming for Vengeance tour much more than the studio versions and really enjoyed seeing them live.

      @@reppostthat's 💯 valid, I think many of the bootlegs of Jimi Hendrix sound way better than the studio version, it's a wonderful saturated, organic and grooving sound... yes even with the band missing a cue because they are always in fact 'following' Jimi... Hendrix would just kind of shrug it off and keep going.
      It's magical. He's the king of cool to me. Nobody sounded like the Jimi Hendrix experience, or even Band of Gypsys. I think if I found more Led Zeppelin bootlegs I would enjoy those equally.

I really think that if you listen to Run of the Mill you will be shocked (in a good way) and very, very surprised. Have a great day.

    There's a reason Rob is called the Metal God. Good call on the tie into folk music, Rob covered a Joan Baez song, Diamonds and Rust, so he must have listened to it. Rob by the way, is one of the nicest guys in the business.

      Have you heard the unplugged version of Diamonds and Rust yet? He, Halford talks about how they did their original version and then they decided to do the unplugged version and for some reason it just made me tear up when I first heard it. I guess that they had came so far in their careers and since I had seen them so many times and I really admired them for everything they had done. Always so damn amazing and powerful

    Love learning from your videos. It paints all of these songs I've been listening to and attempting to sing all these years, in such a profoundly new light. If you're enjoying this journey down the Metal rabbit hole, might i suggest Phil Anselmo of Pantera and the song Cemetery Gates. It's a classic Groove Metal song where the guitar and vocals trade off in a truly amazing way.

Is that your critiquing these rock and metal bands, and the excitement on your face and the looks that I've been seeing have just been kind of inspirational for me. I'm a long time rock and hard rock metal drummer and a lot of the things that you have been explaining. I have been trying to explain to fellow bandmates throughout my career. Keep up the great work. And if our paths ever meet, it would be an honor to meet you.

    Dreamer Deceiver is the song from the same album that showcases Rob's vocal range and dynamics the most, in my opinion. There is a live version that is not quite as good as the studio version but the studio version is a masterpiece vocally.

    It was such a pleasure to watch the joy on your face during this track. Priest has been part of my life nearly 50 years, and I remember my first live experience with Victim of Changes. It's not hyperbole to say it changed my life. Thank you for being so open with how this track touched you. Your smile at the gong was pure sunshine, and that's how Priest has made me feel since I was a child. Beauty is beauty. I recently read Rob's second book which brought me further happiness. Thanks again, it's a pleasure to listen to folks like you breaking down the iconic works of classic metal.

I've always enjoyed them and it got me through the mundane paper route for sure...them and the Scorpions 💞 ty...there's many good songs on that 'Unleashed in the East' album.

    You should also check their version of "Diamonds and rust", originally sung by Joan Baez. On a second thought, you should definitely check Joan Baez, too, lol... especially Diamonds and rust and We shall overcome (1965 version BBC). I'm quite sure, you'll fall in love with her voice.

    Love your reaction.
    I have seen them live at the Cap Center in MD Turbo Lover tour. This was an arena probably 20k people.
    I was Jar Head went with others we had a great time.
    So much better acoustics at the Cap center. I'm a musician and this was an inspiration to me at such a young age. This is one of those bands you HAVE to have been there in order to truly appreciate not only Rob but KK and GT and the rest of the band. Honestly if you want to listen to the best album vocals in all Rob and the boyz have to offer it would be Unleashed in the East live.
    Its always a pleasure witnessing your reaction.
    Luv the variety you react too also. Would like for you to give credit to some unknowns or forgottens also ex. Randy Jackson Zebra. Talk about vocals..
