@@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.
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.
@@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🙏🙏♥️♥️
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!
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 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.
@@JacobsKrąnųg 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.
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.
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 🤘🎸🤘
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
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.
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
Here is my 2 cents: JP guys drop Painkiller, You ve got Another Thing coming, Living After Midnight and bring something from Nostradamus, Rocka Rolla and Angel of Retribution
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
its time to take his song off the setlist, there is absolute no point going through this embarrassment every show. there is no demand for the painkiller song. the fans understand rob is old and cant reach these crazy high pitched screams anymore. priest have plenty of other killer songs they can play instead.
@@wandcfirst but he has a point. Rob is awesome and he sounds killer in lower register. There's no need to go ahead with song that doesn't fit his voice anymore when he can easily nail it in so many other mindblowing tunes.
Yeah exactly no need to be so defensive he sounds good singing the other stuff but he can't do this one live anymore. Very few people could I would imagine.
The only one that can sing it is Tim Ripper but obviously people will disregard him. Ripper FTW and I absolutely love the pair of them Halford and Ripper
@@a1karaoke One of the best songs that have yet to be performed live by Judas Priest: "Hard as Iron", "Reckless", "Battle Cry", " Before the Dawn", " Evening Star", " "Nostradamus", Future of Mankind", "Cathedral Spires", and more....! 14 years the same songs over and over......
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

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🙂

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

Never thought I'd hear Rob hitting those notes 46 years after I first saw Priest live ..... before this song was written !
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.
Holy hell, Rob is 72 and singing like this!
They kill it just wow!!
Hopefully one day I will be able to witness them live in Australia.

Tipton passed the torch to faulkner who is doing an excellent job.

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.

Let two guitarists play two different solos
I couldn’t even finish watching this video. I’m heartbroken at what I just heard and would much rather remember them back in their prime.
They probably shouldn't play this song live anymore.
UH.....what did the drummer say?

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

Sounds fine to me. Peace

Massive Priest fan here but it is about time to give it up Rob is starting to sound like a Metal Ethel Merman I am so sorry to say.

The drummer was boasting he's got the biggest schlong in the arena and then proceeded to play the intro with it.

Even if is, is that your business??? No!!! focus on music nothing else 🤨🤨
I think its his real hair, thankfully.
Did they show KK too?
?
Think that would be a bit too much. Sad but that's the reality of the situation
No.
Glenn is still an official and contributing bandmember.
Main solo wasn't his for one
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

No KK, no Tipton = No Priest.
