So it doesn't sound picture perfect. Rob is 70. Think about that. Se-ven-ty. He's been doing this for 50 years and for him to even attempt some of these high notes makes him an absolute monster and a true MetalGod🤘🏻🔥
He shouldn't attempt it IMO , he should only do songs within his vocal range now. Like Bruce Dickinson does. Also this is not Priest anymore , don't get me wrong. Richie is a monster guitarist , but both of the original gun slingers aren't in the band anymore. They're a glorified cover band of themselves , sorry if you disagree but it's the truth. It would be like replacing Dave Murray and Adrian Smith from Maiden , it wouldn't be the same band!
@@mikeg.9238 I see your point and no, 50 years on it isn't the same band. They weren't the same band when Rob left in the -90's, they became a different beast when Scott joined and Glenn didn't have much choice. Outfits change personnel. It doesn't mean it's bad, just different. Sometimes good, other times not. I'd be surprised if they were the same band, but you make a valid point that is hard to argue against, especially with the singing. Stay safe man👍.
@@mikeg.9238 Tipton still joins them live on some special moments (just a few songs, due to his illness), and he played on Firepower. And Ian Hill is still there. Firepower was a great album, btw... i didnt got that "cover band" feel at all.
@@tonk82 To be honest playing a couple songs at the end is not exactly being the main guitarist. Firepower was ok but not spectacular , I liked the one before it better. Also I don't know how long you've been a fan , but I saw them on the Screaming for Vengeance tour. So I'm not some fly by night fan. You can twist it all you want , they're not the same band. Without KK and Tipton it's not Priest anymore , that's the hard truth!
Absolutely disagree. Rob is the Metal god, but don't go all cultist over it, he is not the singer he was. Not worse, but different, and painkiller is just a song he can't sing at all. You can't sit there and tell me the screams between versus didn't sound like a depressed cat finally dying of exhaustion (1:19) That said, a lot of the higher and lower stuff he absolutely smashes out of the park (4:58 - 5:06 🖤).

He sounded fucking incredible throughout this whole show, even hitting alot of the high notes he often can't anymore. Probably helps that he's been able to rest his voice a little, lately.
Rob seems to get in better vocal shape for about five to ten years now. His voice was a lot weaker around 2010. He seems a lot more comfortable with his approach to singing these songs nowadays.
Totally, saw them in LA a few days after this and he belted the high "you're possessing me" on A Touch of Evil PERFECTLY, and also did every single high on Hell Patrol the way they are on the album unlike how he used to keep most of the song in his lower range. A true Metal God
Honestly Rob sings much much better than in 2012 for example. I remember watching JP's concert in Moscow and it was one big punishment and now? With the exception of Painkiller he can sing EVERYTHING and I am not exaggerating at all right now. His Saints in Hell live rendition really got me. Me and my g-f were like wthell its crazy

I have to agree with you,i just don't see what the problem is with some people.Check out some older versions of this track on here,and he's even better now than in some of those,30 years ago.Just because he's getting on a bit now,some assume he's lost it,not the case.He's a one off phenomenon.

Many props to Ritchie Faulkner ....many guys would've ended their careers right there. He's flawless on his playing ...and IMHO better than KK ever was and is
You would have never heard of Ritchie Faulkner if it weren't for KK Downing. KK built JP from dirt. Ritchie played for Lauren Harris attempting to play pop metal.
@@dtrzupek How funny that you give KK all of the credit for Priest. Hate to burst your little bubble but both Halford and Tipton had much more influence on how Priest was eventually forged. There's no doubt that KK is a great guitarist....but He's not technically better than Faulkner...he also has never expanded outside of his comfort zone...ever. The world would've heard of Faulkner whether he was in Priest or ended up in some other Metal band....he's much too talented to haven't made it past Steve Harris's daughters band.....that was just a mere stepping stone.

Fantastic sound. It's like being there. Shows they can still do it.
They most definitely can. And do🤘🤘🤘Queensryche freakin slayed too. Best I’ve seen from them in years
Honestly, this is probably one of the better live performances of this song. Seriously impressive that he can still sing like this.
Killer track! One of JP's best and heaviest albums!
Not bad for a 70 year old dude, huh ! Damn, this guy must be made of STEEL !

Just got into the band last year. They still effin got it!
one of my fave song and a good show . i love you Rob
Unbelievable shape!!!! Holy shit, he proves his status on every fucking show. Metal God indeed
Rob up there doing it at 70? Holy shit that British Steel is some strong ass shit! Nice
Sounds great! Voice changed over the years, but still heavy metal!
amazing, Rob.
Que no muera nunca el anciano leyenda.

He sounds better live the older he gets it seems like. And that growl is phenomenal 🤘
It sounds so raw & true.70 y.o. Halford still do it better than all of those newborn pop stars.
🤘❤🤘
The metal God. He is probably the only one who could be a hundred years old and still can sing and scream like a beast.
He screams so weak, but he howls so good! I wish I could see him live before he is dead!
Good job!!!
Love it !
Grande Maestro 👍
after watching this picked up my guitar,cranked my Marshall up 10,now my neighbours are gonna hate me!!
The fact that Rob can perform like that at 70 is incredible. Fingers crossed he can last till next March when I see JP in London. 😂

2. Dodgy hip/back
