come on this version is a complete tone lower than with halford and of course rob is older than Ripper, but anyway Ripper is just awesome I love his singing, I prefer Halford becouse he is the metal god and no one else but Ripper is amazing.
shame on you for calling yourselves priest fans, Halford is old and he can't do it now more, but in the end he is the one who did the song first, and Ripper is his biggest fan, ripper sings because of Halford. And remember the priest shows from the 80's? Not even Ripper can beat those, those were perfect live acts. Halford did his job perfectly when it was his time, so show a little respect for the metal god!
You assholes defending Rob Halford have a point, he is old and he can't sing any of his songs hardly anymore. However, he never really has been able to sing his shit live and Ripper is way more refined of a vocalist past, present, and future. BUT.....as far as stage performance goes, Halford has Ripper beat hands down!! I am a Priest fan....period!! Halford...Ripper....doesn't matter. Long live the Priest!!
Ripper Owens is not qualified to lick the sweat off Rob Halford's ballsack, let alone sing his songs!!!! Anyone thinking he's better than Halford is tone deaf!!!!!!
@MrLikmaballs you my friend are so right!!! imagine ripper trying to sing this at 60!!! Halford sounds even better than he did in 91!! /watch?v=mk7JM3PEuCk
Amen Ripper! I don't care what all the Halford fanboys say, Rob was never as impressive live as the studio albums made him seen, and yet Ripper absolutely OWNED every JP and Iced Earth track he ever sang... (with the possible exception of Dracula) Greatest Metal Voice EVER
