@moonlitknights I know what you mean, I mean I could see if they just did it live for the audience, but why just record a carbon copy. It's pointless.
Wow! Excellent cover. Obviously these guys really lover their Priest. Voice is great. There are not many people who can handle that insane early Rob Halford range.
the greatest cover of this song ever.... but the tone of the voice on the original i think its better or more clasical...and the best scream in "victim of chaaanges" its from kiske and unisonic
Am I the first one to notice the guitar tone they used here sounds almost EXACTLY like Metallica's modern tone? (Load, Reload, St. Anger & especially Death Magnetic, and the newer ones from Garage Inc.)
Listen to like Whiskey In The Jar, Mercyful Fate, My Apocylpse, or Attitude. I hear it especially in those songs. idk why i just hear it more. Sick tone though!
Why the hell are you idiots hating on Ripper? Because he wasn't the "original" singer? He's an awesome singer. Tim Ripper Owens, Rob Halford and Kai Hansen are all metal gods. You don't like one of them? Too bad. They are all metal gods, period.
@highspeeddirt6 WELL THIS IS DEFFINETLY NOT RIPPER OWENS,, BUT IT IS KAI HANSEN !! AND KAI HANSEN IS AWSOME HE SHREDS GUITAR LEADS AND SCREEMZ SOOPER HIGH !!
What's wrong with Ripper? He's a great singer. Unmatched when it comes to sing whole verses in high pitch (Decclaration Day, Scream Machine, Rapid Fire @ live meltdown, Diamonds and rust live meltdown & live in london). Ripper may not be as good as Halford (Nobody is!), but he's much better than Kai Hansen.
@Wyndrax Funny that you are calling him a "kid", implying he is inexperienced, or too young to know all the stuff you do....its funny cuz Hansen and Halford are Metal Gods while Ripper, while an awesome singer, neither is he a milestone setter, nor as old as the other two.
@Wyndrax Ripper can sing better then both Hansen and Halford...but he doesn't, does he ? :) ....good one =))) i don't say Ripper isn't a good singer but still to say he can sing better then those two is preaty hillarios
@ElectricEye66 It also exists in an album called Tribute To Judas Priest Vol1. It has 12 covers by bands like Helloween, Iced Earth, UDO and more. It is one of the best covers along with The Ripper and Electric Eye.

@moonlitknights you do a carbon copy to show "you can". now no one can say he isn't as good as Halford because this shows he is. it's not debatable.

I was never a big fan of Owens when he was in Priest, but his work with Schenker and Charred Walls of the Damned is pretty awesome.
Anyway, I think this is a pretty great cover. Kai is great.

@Mailrobot I do prefer Ripper over Hansen, but it's jsut a personal preference. Hansen's easily just as good. But there's no way he beats Halford.
