Wow! Outstanding arrangement! The album version is, of course, great. However, this version is pumped up on some steroids! I wonder why Chuck decided to make so many changes, like removing the cool harmonic minor melodic phrase from the post-solo segment of the song.
Ok first of all Chuck doesnt sing at all in this one the man had :-..( a very distinct voice its not in this demo . The guitar in this is just amazing the only demo I know of thats more crazy than the album version but I amagine the record company told Chuck to tone it down with the guitar godlyness .
@xaviermockingbird That's me, and no, the changes were Chuck's decision. No way would he let the record company make him do anything against his will. The line-up on the 3 song demo was me, Chris Williams, Scott Clendenen, Shannon Hamm and of course, Chuck. I think it's the most memorable week of my entire life. After we finished, Chuck called me into the kitchen, we did a shot of Jim Beam and he said "If you want the job, I'm not even calling Halford back".
Of course he wouldnt no self respecting musician would , last comment was a joke I should have made that clear ha ha . If you run into him dont tell him I said so ;-) but if I had the choice between you and Halford I would make the same decision .
Chris and Chuck... R.I.P..

This sounds so much better, because it's less polished and more raw.

I'm astounded so many people like the demos better than the album. Glad I posted these.

@mixemoe Definitely better than the original, the solo is awesome, I don't understand why it didn't make the album.

Thanks for the compliment. Halford has always been a hero to me, so taking the job with Chuck was just that much more of an honor.

@lordtimbo Well, just between you and me, you did a much better job than Halford ever could have done on the album!
