Metallica w/ Rob Halford - Rapid Fire (Live in San Francisco, December 9th, 2011)

[MetalDaniification]

Rob is digging a hole with the microphone!! XD

[Mastodontamr696]

Lucky Californian bastards. I wish I could've been there for this.

[v7rakete]

you cant replace bands like priest,maiden,saxon,motorhead,­slayer,megadeth,sabbath,mercyf­ul fate,venom,metallica etc.

[khogan311]

People have been bitching how Rob is losing his voice. When you hit 60 plus years of age, lets see you sing half as good as he does now. He can't hit as high as he use to and he has admitted to that. That is just something that, sadly, comes with age. But the guy still sings fucking awesome and can still hit pretty high. Rob is the Metal God!

[FoxxSalema]

Old rockstars are OLD... =X

[JosueRocke]

This is for the 9 idiots...

RAPID FIRE UP YOUR ASS!!!

[magicalbilly]

rockin the suit at the metallica show there rob?

nice touch

[BertoKing]

hm, lars know the lyrics... now i dont hate him like i used to do.

[TrueIronMaidenFan]

I went flew all the way from Oregon to New Jersey to see Rob Halford live on his last tour with Judas Priest, he sounded absulutely perfect and so did the band. Amazing show! also looking forward to seeing my favorite band Iron Maiden again this summer!

[adrianjustyn]

PRIEST PRIEST PRIEST PRIEST !!!!!

\m/ compared to the metal god, metallica are so negligible!

[zavxos]

voice like beavis

[SINALMA2]

haldfor in suit -.-"

[coxinha19761]

ROB HALFORD É A LENDA DO ROCK AND ROLL,O BRASIL TE AMA!

[KungLaoMK]

This is the most active I've seen Rob at a show in a while. You know, besides crashing his bike.

[Doracelia10]

rob halford is GOOOD!!!!!

[MegaReyes91]

Halford's mic isnt plugged in. he is just singing into it so that everyone believes he is human.

[themanh310]

0:02 METAL GOD!!!

[vibonacci]

oh man, I'm gonna see Priest's second to last performance in the Neterlands.. gonna be awesome.. can't believe Priest is comming to an end. The next 10 years are gonna be sad. All classic metal bands will be comming to an end and tbhere aren't enough new bands to replace. sad sad times

[SP1D3RMAN75]

@vibonacci Everything has to come to an end sometime

[fernando19979]

[imjehssy]

[mlascosmoerel]

[666ManMachine]

pero me encantan.

[daniiebecker]

Beautiful.

[ZZombyWooff]

Oh we are fat balding millionaires. Lars, give Halford 20.000 dollars and ask him to sing one song with us.

[octzano1]

The greatest heavy metal band of all time and one of the greatest heavy metal voices of all time. As much of a milestone as when Mac & Cheese met...

[rolanaxana]

OOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[victimadelrey]

Halford dandole clases a Metallica!

[jackwilsontube]

GODS

[MrUplooder]

HALFORD Rulez!

[DaddoFatto94]

Ulfric is Awful. Shoul do some other things and let Metallica take some serious Drummer... WTF is that Bass sound!?!?

[iMarduk]

@DaddoFatto94 You've been playing too much Skyrim, sir.

[Anthraxicus]

See, when you tour the world saying these guys are the shit, they come hang out with you. Metal up yer ass!

[Zetorlord]

Rob is like that he would be chewing his prosthesis! :D

[bengativo6]

3:38 i bet james cant still hear from his left ear uptil now.xd

[homergrand99]

@bengativo6 eargasm

[mronemanband1]

IRONIC ROB IS SAN FRANCISCO ? JUST VISITING FRIENDS

[AFABIANO1]

halford is boyfriend of George Michel?

[WastedYears1991]

lol at the way james looks there....expecting to see a nose ring next XD

[AlexChris617]

Usually Rob Halford isn't the best live (as of late), but it just blew me away how clear and great his vocals are here.

[pallatys]

@AlexChris617 de donde sacaste que halford no es mejor en vivo por favor como se nota que ninca fuiste a un recital de judass con 60000 mil espectadores saltando escuchando a halford cantando pankiller

[scotbis]

Play music with Mr. Halford, the dream of a life.

[arwi55]

@scotbis I Agree !!!

[666theseventhson]

ROB IS A GOD

[MrVnz75]

@666theseventhson ROB IS GOD

[HighCardWins]

What concert was this? Everybody in the world was there.

[BlackRoseImmortal]

Rob is the complete Metal Legend.

[portugal20094ever]

Not want to be a dick but, if Rob said that metallica was a "second league" band why is he playing with Metallica?

[666lucky13]

Halford has that spark again...Fuck. Yes.

[TheMichaelDenny]

Which do you think is more difficult? Lars Ulrich trying to pretend he is not a complete jackass, or Robert Trujillo trying to pretend he is not bored to tears with music he could play with his toes in his sleep?

[jonescool1fly]

Rob  wow what a voice!!!!!

[cafekkohardcore]

im watching all those metallica w/ all those bands and jason and mustaine, metallica is doing well!

[hegadem]

Imagine if Metallica recorded an entire album with Rob Halford on vocals.

Would have ended up much better than that travesty they recorded with

Lou Reed.

[supern00b25]

@hegadem I agree

[alexonchu]

Wow!!Rob look so cool!!!

[warhead1970]

wooooooooooooooow,,,unbelievea­ble!!!!! rob the best,,,hetfield the monster....

[NGmetalix]

Dude, Metallica used to play Judas covers when they started.

[bassman0704]

Metallica with the Metal God. Is this heaven?

[MrJasonmoad]

sooo fucking cool THE TRUE GOD OF METAL//////ROB HALFORD

[BlackKromun]

Judas Priest is THE ULTIMATE metal band.

Metallica is my favorite human band of all time.

[KJBPSkipper]

@BlackKromun ?

[970ronaldo]

Haha, Rob is sooooo fuckin' fashionable as a gravedigger :):):)

[TheThanandros]

This is Fucking COOOOL~ Fuck yes Halford~ Fuck yes Mustain, Fuck yes Jason ~ Fuck yes the MUSIC~ oh and FUCK YES they are doing this because we matter to them ~~!

[goenigoegoe83]

Funny thing that Rob Halford prefers Megadeth over Metallica muwahahaha

[ImperiousKnight]

@goenigoegoe83 Nope, just that Megadeth have been more "consistent" which is kind of factual.

[goenigoegoe83]

@ImperiousKnight I know..so yes he prefers Megadeth as a band. He chose Megadeth over Metallica because of that exact reason. Chill I admire Metallica to... I'm just not a crazed FAN.

[kreator1456]

HALFORD ES LA ONDA...

Punto

[totonelson]

I love Halford but, I think he kinda looks like GG-Allen. Halford has an awesome voice!

[3PointJ]

Yep, pretty sure Halford is Immortal...

[MooingTricycle]

Halford was totally showing off there at the end. Thats what gods do.

[Yugagarinify]

Before Sabbath, Priest is the best Metal Band EVER. They created Speed Metal and they are the first metal band who used twins guitar's solos. They are strong influence for the NWOBHM. And the NWOBHM is the strongest influence of Thrash Metal bands, including Metallica! Rapid Fire is a Prototype of Thrash Metal.

[osirisnut]

teacher roshy and goku..! \../

[666gothmog666]

rob, please, teach metallica the unknown ways of metal...

[epradas1]

hey look, one good of metal has come down to earth to perform with metallica

[brunostolosa]

Darwin was wrong.. Lars is still a Neanderthal...

[epradas1]

@brunostolosa jajajajajajajajajajaj yeah you're all right!!!

[KJBPSkipper]

Halford is now like your cool metal grandpa.

[Chiliconnada]

@KJBPSkipper And instead of having a cool grandma with, he brings another (hopefully not creepy) grandpa

[zwareshag]

They should get this guy to sing on the next album i just downloaded the mp3 version of this song he fits the sound over 9000 times better than Lou Reed. Get Dave Mustaine to do some solos to.

[Elslav]

Never thought Metallica covered Judas Priest all that well.. guitars just dont sound right

[goenigoegoe83]

@Elslav true...Glen and KK are probably the most underrated guitarist, in my opinion. They deserve a lot more credit in my eyes hahaha!

[suggoz]

If Metallica put as much time to play covers into there own song they maybe not sucks so hard as they do! Metallica = The best metal cover band ever! Own crap, not so much!

[nugeforprez]

@Loakers this is probably the hardest thing he ever had to play

[tefata98]

isnt halford a lil bit awesome for metallica?

[JeffWatersRules]

@tefata98 He is, but then again so were more people at this

[Hazard26Belgium]

Oooh god this is ... *jizz*

BTW, fun to hear Halford missing the beginning of the second verse, he begins to sing too early!

[lazercannoncheck]

DAMN HALFORD STILL HAS IT. TO BAD JAMES DOESNT. HE WAS THE BEST

[lazercannoncheck]

I HOPE THERES GONNA BE A DVD OF ALL THIS..

[piba]

lars ulrich is the worst drummer ever

[nationalsocialist123]

@piba lol if you say that you really have no idea what the fuck your talking about, you my sir, are a moron.

[begoron]

@nationalsocialist123 I bet he thinks Travis Barker is the best drummer ever. Everyone can hate on Lars for the stupid Napster shit if they want. It doesn't stop him from being one of the best drummers of all time.

[nationalsocialist123]

@begoron Totally agree with you there. I find it funny tough, people give metallica so much shit but in the meanwhile all their shows are sold out immediatly when the tickets are up for sale, they still bring new people into metal, they are one of the most respected by other bands in the metalscene and they are one of the biggest influences in metal, and people if you dont see or acknowledge that you are all a bunch of faggots and posers.

[UkrRusSlavic]

@nationalsocialist123 This. All those "true" metal heads never respect Metallica and don't respect anyone who like them

[MasterofKnees]

@nationalsocialist123 That's how today's teenagers are, if something is succesful, especially in the world of metal, it sucks.

[cmsasuke17]

@IggleOckle

What? No, Jesus Christ. Not the genre Hardcore you dummy, just the simple term there hardcore in other words bad ass. Not the genre itself get it?

[juanperez43]

Metallica please kick out Lars of the band

[captainfroghammer]

That was great! Cool to see Trujillo and Halford playing together, two of my very favorites, Halford is the God of metal singers, and Trujillo is awesome plus so entertaining on stage. :) Good job Metallica!

[17wadelee]

Priest "small" metal band that has to be one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile! I'm sure you weren't trying to be serious. At least I hope not.

[Phabarata1]

Why should he bless himself, James?

[ManFromMelbourne]

Just goes to show that Metallica, although now one of the biggest bands in the world, are still down to Earth and they still show praise to smaller metal bands, such as Priest, who were one of Metallica`s influences.

[MrJimbofox]

@ManFromMelbourne Priest is a "small" metal band? Um, dude. Not trying to be a dick but Priest used to be the biggest metal band on Earth. Priest, Sabbath, and Maiden more or less invented Metal. Priest still sells out stadiums to date and are pretty damn far from "small".

[Austrelopitecus]

@MrJimbofox totally agreed. Hail Priest!

[BBEEAAN]

@MrJimbofox yeah 50+million album sales is small:/ The guy knows nothing about Priest lmao

[thafoofa]

@MrJimbofox You forgot Motorhead.

[MrJimbofox]

@thafoofa Touche, sir. Thanks for pointing that out.

[TheHoodedDemon]

@thafoofa @MrJimbofox amen to what he said, too many people forget Motorhead

[estamparock01]

@MrJimbofox Absolutely damn true! Thirty years ago Rob Halford led Judas Priest, and heavy metal itself, out of the Midlands and into the bigtime. He tells us where the sound – and the look came from.

[hyperloke]

@MrJimbofox Right on man!! Fucking hell, I just got so insulted to hear that from this dude. Priest are the METAL GODS goddamn it!! There's a reason for it. Halford is called the METAL GOD. Man, who are these twats who don't know metal.

[goenigoegoe83]

@ManFromMelbourne Judas Priest smaller metal band?! Muwahahahahahahahahahaha...dud­e WTF!!! Priest still sells out stadiums after 30 + years!

[DrewBludd]

@ManFromMelbourne Dude, Priest is the BIGGEST metal band on the planet.

[Wildrockband]

publico ql todos con iphones.. jajajajajja



[cmsasuke17]

@IggleOckle

Well it's not like they went mainstream. Mainstream went to them! There just too hardcore.

[KungLaoMK]

2:24 James' face

[YannTremblay24]

@KungLaoMK LOL

[NahBruno]

I think this was epic. Oh well.

[soulgorden]

Who the fuk is on drums?

[macaron3141592653]

Imagine if Iron maiden was here......

[frbbarbosa]

Trujillo seems to be bored...

[arghroar]

Awsome! But somehow I like Vaders cover better.

[Herbster41]

Dig the "Priest" chant at the end!!

[rocklaiho]

that you can not choose between my two favorite bands would kill me!!!!!!!

[sotwgtr]

the geriatrics ward has escaped!!!!!!! this shit sucks

[Defenderofeyre]

Am I the only one who thinks Metallica sounds way better when they're playing Judas Priest?

[TopRamenKickAss]

@Defenderofeyre Rob Halford & Metallica collaboration, a man can dream...

[IPlayDaBasss]

@Defenderofeyre actually they're playing with Rob Halford, not Judas Priest

[kranen1]

@Defenderofeyre Yeah, you are probably the only one ^^

[priestfan1223]

@Defenderofeyre probably because Halford is singing :)

[jvondd]

Out of all these videos, I've noticed that Halford's voice is the only one that's remained consistent. Hats off to Halford!

[paublo84]

Rob's choice of wardrobe was perfect. Metal to the core. Rob is metal god.

[tenavari]

Need to raise Rob's vocals!!!

[tenavari]

Hetfield needs a better drummer.

[tenavari]

Where was Glen?!?!?!?!!?

[Fiptastic]

Guys..... This Lars is a shit drummer lark, lets be realistic here........ Shut the fuck up!!!! Its on so many threads, whether or not low life pukes think he's good or not doesn't really matter to the rest of us.  Look at what he and the rest of the guys in this band have achieved over the years. More than many if not all of us ever will! Go listen to something else, maybe some Goa Trance will be more to your liking :).

[sbzombie69]

Lars sucks as a drummer. I've never thought he was great. Mediocre at best.

[cormermusic]

@sbzombie69 Yeah I agree. I mean I thought he was the shit when I was 15 and got into metallica. The 15 yo me would be telling you to go fuck yourself right now but looking back, this whole "he really let himself go" thing is stupid because he was never that much better. He's sloppier now and his D Bass is shit but apart from that he's just as average as he was on RTL. He's just stopped trying new things.

[Danimal300zx]

@cormermusic

Oh, he WAS that much better. Watch Live in Seattle 89, or anything off of the Black Album Tour. He was MUUUUUUUUUCH better. He did a TON of fills, had rhythm, speed and his technique was light years better.

[ksioamaral89]

@Danimal300zx hell yeah.just listen to the live shit CDs(mexico '93).of course he wasn't neil peart or mike portnoy ,however he sounded decent to me(do not even need to mention how that white kit sounded powerful).I don't know what happened to him over the last years,it's like he has forgotten how to drum or become really lazy

[fishscream]

Hate them, or Not. As fellow musicians, we do appreciate/respect the years of hard work these guys have done.... mathiasnielsen66, thanks for the uploads!

[DaniRocksaurier]

Thank You for all these great clips

[vinchuca666]

Que gran problema tiene Hetfield con ese baterista..........dios mio, cada año que pasa toca peor !

[garandgarand]

Metallica = so noisy. Even to make Rob confuse his entrance (1:51). Long live real metal!!!! \m/

[Shackler5]

Halford likes James pritty much :D

[CockatooFilms]

Omfg this must have been an awsome concert.

[AsylumMotorsports60]

@CockatooFilms Would have if it was just Priest. The fact Metallica knocks it down a few notches on the "awesome" scale

[CockatooFilms]

@AsylumMotorsports60 True.

[bp1191]

Check out that awesome drum fill by Lars at 1:32 lol. Other than that though, great performance.

[deepalcol]

I'm glad to hear fans screamin' "PRIEST!!! PRIEST!!!" instead of "METALLICA!" at the end XD

[ODSTArchive]

RAPID FIRE BETWEEN THE EYES!!

[SantomPh]

great song...just wish there was the Priest live intro..."RAPID.....FAAAYAAAAAR­RRRRRR!!!"

[Loakers]

Halfords suit is classy



[EquestriaDJ]

@Loakers Rob Halford is ALWAYS classy.

[LightningRiderMGO]

@Loakers He obviously can keep up, if he can play at the tempo of AJFA songs like Blackened, Shortest Straw and Dyers Ever then Rapid Fire shouldn't be a problem

[wheels7ty1]

typical iphone shit vid wiv crap sound

[MetalheadPedro]

Lars should follow Halford's example and admit he's gay too. XD

[philemall]

james looks looks farin urlaub at here ^^

[Demyxthelegend]

Halford just kicks so much ass! not because we come from the same place or anything >.>

[bennyvx08]

I gotta say.. thats a fucking cool explorer Hetfield got there man .. Awesome.

[EC66OK]

Seems like Lars can barely keep up.

[rubbersatin]

@EC66OK I think Lars needs lessons from Scott Travis.

[wesley12106]

@EC66OK He is missing a lot of notes

[tsahab123]

@EC66OK looks more like Rob Trujillo is the one who struggle with keeping up..

[90noleafclover]

@EC66OK fuck you men this is the guy that play baterry ffwf dyers eve etc... so... fuck you ignorant

[EC66OK]

@90noleafclover Ignorant to notice that (as I wrote it, and read carefully) "SEEMS like Lars can barely keep up." An opinion of his performance equates to ignorance and epithets for you? As someone who's been listening to Metallica since before Kill 'Em All had sold a thousand copies, and to Priest since Simon Philips guest appearance on 1977's Sin After Sin, not to mention playing in bands myself for the last 30 years, I hardly think my opinion of Lars' performance here is in any way ignorant.

[patorr69]

@EC66OK I agree, certainly looks that way lol

[Matlike1]

@EC66OK you're fucking blind you wannabee.

[metalcidere]

I think the metallica's 30. year celebriations like hall of fame of metal music.

[TheHypercamgamesman]

This looks like the most epic concert ever!

[Frehley88]

HALFORD = GOD, YEAH! THE METAL GOD!!!!
