[rockwellcm]

Great Song Great Footage 100%

[SuperHairyDick]

It's good... But rob isn't rob anymore, he just can't reach those high notes like he used to

[judaspreistskater]

@SuperHairyDick i saw them a week ago and he could hit high notes perfect

[Devoidize]

@SuperHairyDick Your nickname is SuperHairyDick.

[MaidenDio252]

@SuperHairyDick Dude, at the concert I went to in houston he was reaching notes that he probably couldn't reach 10 years ago. He sounds better than ever. Especially when they did Victim of Changes.

[amithabajan2]

@bassmanjoe richie i can understand, but no love for Scott?

[JaymzRG]

BEST FUCKIN SOLO EVER!

[XXXronie]

OMG!!!!

[misterbarbister]

Zero dislikes... the way it should be

[RocktheStageNYC]

Rob is cheating in some parts to not sing it as high as the recording but he's been the best at that technique since the early 80's. But it does show where he has lost a part of range. But at age 60 he's singing his ass off here regardless.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC Live is different from a recording. In the studio they go over the same part over and over again. Live you do it once.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - REALLY? WOW, WHO KNEW?

After all my 25 years in the music business I never knew that's how it worked. Thank you for the all the very crucial and secretive information you impart to all of us unknowing individuals who were singing in bands when you were 9 yrs old.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC Maybe I'm like Michael Jackson and have been singing in bands since birth. Fuck off NYC hamster. Obviously if you think he's cheating you ain't much of a singer, ya poser.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - guess I hit home there huh? don't be so quick to think you know so much next time.

You obviously don't know what "cheating" means in live singing. Let me educate you so you don't look like a fool next time.

"Cheating" in singing means one is using alternate notes to not sing difficult or out of range notes. That is what Rob is doing here and has been doing for 30 years.

Be sure you know what you're talking about before trying to impart information to others.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC So if he is doing "cheating" for 30 years then he isn't cheating according to your definition because that is his style of singing: he's been "cheating" since before you knew you had a voice. According to your stupid definition a contralto is actually a cheating tenor.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - Stupid definition? Now you're just reaching to maintain your poor argument.

Rob is cheating because he has no formal vocal training and cannot sing the songs as recorded and hasn't been able to sing Priest songs properly since the mid 80's.

All I did was point out that he's cheating to sing the song because he hasn't kept his voice in shape over the years. THAT'S A FACT. Rob is one of my vocal heroes but he's lost it over time. Why that fact bothers you in bizarre.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC Not at all bizarre.I know he hasn't been kind to his voice and you're right. However, you can't say he hasn't had any formal training AND THEN use YOUR formal training to criticize what he does live. I never claimed to be a pro at anything musical and never wished to impart any relevant info and I always find bizarre dudes without Halford's public success to be the first ones to use professional but deceiving language when addressing the non-pros but FANS like me.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - now you're just rambling. Halford has had NO formal training. How do I know? I asked him backstage on the British Steel 30th Anniversary Tour. He doesn't even warm up his voice before a show. Thats why he has to "cheat" and why his voice is inconsistent from show to show. Some shows he sounds great, others are bad. Its been that way for 20 years.

I don't have to have had Rob's professional success to comment fairly. I'm a trained singer and vocal educator of 20 years.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC A voice is inconsistent for a large # of reasons. I have heard many trained opera singers of the highest caliber be sometimes not as good as they ought to be. Sometimes someone has the flu, other times is lifestyle choices that kick in, others it's just plain fatigue. Had you been as successful as Rob I would have been more understanding but you're just making yourself visible on the internet by the virtue of Rob's professional fame and not your own.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - wow... project much? Dude, there is NOTHING about the voice you could tell me I don't already know. 20 years of studying voice does that. What does success have to do with understanding or sympathizing? That's a non-sequitor argument.

Making myself visible by virtue of Rob's fame? Now you really are reaching. Absurd.

[Devoidize]

@Devoidize Which leads to the question: who the hell are you, and why do you think taming metal with silly ass lessons makes good metal? When was the last time you had a real gig outside your cozy little town?

Hell, you are part of the reason why metal is boring today.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - if you are addressing me - who says "silly ass lessons" tames metal? Quite the opposite actually.

So Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Eric Adams, James Labrie, James Hetfield, Matthew Sanders (M. Shadows) have tamed metal because they have taken those "silly ass lessons"?

I've sang to 15,000 in Seoul, Korea - and you've done?

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC I've been going those fucking metal shows: I'm a fraction of the paying public. If those singers took lessons, they didn't take them from specific "metal teachers". According to that miserable wretch dwarf Eric Adams, he has learned from "the school of hard knocks", if you can believe that bull. Dio sang from before metal existed, James Hetfield can't sing, and if you sang to 15,000 in Seoul, Korea once, did you sing for 15,000 the next day and the next day and the next day...?

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - there are no "metal teachers" douche. The aforementioned singers took classical lessons. Hetfield HAD to take lessons to save his voice (highlighted in the "Monster" film). Adams had classical training (I know who his teacher was).

I toured for 7 weeks in the Summer of 1996 throughout Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Manila, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Germany, the UK opening a major progressive metal band at that time. 15,000 was our biggest show.

and you've done????

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC I already I made myself clear I am not a musician, so what? There are scores of artists who have toured almost every day for decades, don't brag to me about 7 weeks one year 16 summers ago. The point is this: the singers of my favorite bands don't need to be trained for me to like them and I appreciate the rawness of the genre rather than have it become a new operetta style, oh Mr. Michael Kiske. As you can tell it's easy to throw criticism to those who are actually DOING IT.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - those 7 weeks were my "15min" so to speak, signed to a label, opening for a major band, playing to 10's of thousands. I've been playing 200 shows a year for about 22 years now so don't talk to me about not paying my dues. You have NO idea what it takes to be a regular, let alone professional musician so you have NO position to rag on anyone who's actually done what you just dreamed of.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC Oh, and I did ask WHEN, not where or for how many.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - I'm 47. Been there, done that before having a family and a steady career teaching others. I still did it and you have not. Case closed.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC I didn't ask for your resume and could care less about your personal life.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC And now back to your statement here. If you are a 47 year old music professional, shouldn't you apply some restraint in the manner in which you reply to people who aren't being rude to you?I sure hope you have recordings of your voice when you were 19,compare yourself and honestly say you haven't changed one way or another. Rob has been quite honest about his current capabilities and they don't detract from the overall show, which is not only with him but with 4 others.Forgot?

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - dude you started this whole thing but questioning my OBSERVATION that Halford was cheating his notes to sing the song. That really should have been the end of it, but you kept hammering my credibility to make such an observation.

I have recordings of when I was 19 and I am 200% better today then I was back then. Training for years tends to do that. Halford was one of my vocal hero in the 80's, it pains me to see him resort to this kind of singing.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC No, but your voice will not have the crispness and the edge of youth, and you are comparing 40+years to your 20, on top of extrapolating Rob's limitations. At 47 his voice still had that enchanting banshee wail and I have listened to enough well placed voices too who, with age, have become quite different as well, on top of the music style change. I think the crowd at the shows knows better than you: they buy the tickets and have a great time. You simply work in the shadows.

[RocktheStageNYC]

@Devoidize - "Work in the shadows"? Where do you come up with this stuff? Jealousy doesn't become you.

Dude you have NO idea what I do and who I teach. You'd be surprised who some of my students are and have been in the past (people you know), who I have sang on demos for and done studio work with. NO IDEA.

I go to all the shows, I pay for the tickets if my professional position doesn't get me special access. I've been doing that since 1981 - when you were 6 yrs old.

[Devoidize]

@RocktheStageNYC Oh phooey. When I was 6 years old I was surely cuter than you.

[bassmanjoe]

Great classic solo from Glenn!! He just turned 64!!! The oldest member. Much respect for these guys for sticking it out. Props to Rob, Glenn, and Ian.
