Judas Priest- Diamonds And Rust Acousitc Live

[superjet113]

Why is this tuned down a complete step and the Halford versions Ive heard are tuned down only a half step. AND, whoever is saying that Ripper has more range than Halford, you need to listen to Halford when he was Rippers age... You dont think that aging and singing this high shit wont wear your voice out over time?!?! Get real! Also , i do respect the Tim the Ripper. He helped keep JP alive.

[brian99xt]

nobody will ever win the ripper/halford argument. personally i'm a local akron ripper fan. you can't shit on a guy that was picked by PRIEST to fill in, not forever replace, but fill in, for a guy that wanted to LEAVE priest. tim's voice is better than pretty much everyone's out there. nobody can and will ever beat the big 3 of metal - sabbath/maiden/priest. leave it at that.

btw, new beyond fear album music in the works!!!

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

Not many bands can take a old hippie song, reinvent it and then 25 years ago reinvent it again. Shows how great they are!

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

All the Owens haters just don't like hearing Halford shown up and are jealous they can't sing like him.

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

Halford might be the original singer but he never had the range the Tim has. Nobody at this concert seemed to have a problem with Owens either. He definitly wasn't a step down when he was with JP, he was a step up and added some life to band. Just listen to Jugulator it punches you right in the face.

[MrLeon4646]

i also love the slow version i can't descide whitch one is better they are both so amazing !!! the fast version has more power but the acoustic has an epic feeling the PRIEST is soo amazing live they are just liike maiden totally perfect live

[Hinagiku82190]

The singer has such an amazing vocal range.

I was completely blown away at the end of the song.

Superb!

[717mienbao]

Rob left the band during this period. The others still wanted to play. There are a lot of people who showed up for the shows during this period and had a great time.

Judas Priest music should never be heard or enjoyed because the singer left the band?

[TheEarnold]

KK looks like he can't believe Rob's not there. no dis to Ripper, but he's not Halford.

[TrueIronMaidenFan]

@TheEarnold i think he looks liek holy shit this is the best replacment we possible could have gotten. Ripper is amazing! but your rigth hes not as good as Halford, only 3 singers are better. Bruce Dickinson, Geoff Tate, and Freddie Mercury

[mazingguitar]

To all haters: Sing this song better than Ripper in this video and put it on YouTube...

[michaelgadsby]

Subtlety? Where?

[TheNWSCOTT]

Whoever said Ripper is better than rob halford shouldnt even be speaking Ripper owens is a straight poser !!!!! He doesnt have the range or especially the melodic tones that rob has always had!

[FENNYMAN]

Pedestrian.

[arvensus]

oh mother , did you gave me a birth just to suffer by listening this song................... nooooo song is ruined remove this from youtube i swear il will flag this song until they remove it or they remove me

[Eliskoopa]

@arvensus I flagged this as well. Hell, I must be a masochist to even come back here. Compare this to Rob's performance from Valencia or Rising in the East. Ripper is a joke in this song.

[Eliskoopa]

Ripper could butcher any song. He pissed on this one with his robotic voice.

[GregERobertson]

Tim is very ta Did a great job filling in for Rob adn now he is doing some tribute stuff for Ronnie James .. cool dude, Ripper

[Volland666]

Ripper is his own. Great vocal. Amazing.

[negativeonhand]

This guy can sing as well if not better than halford anyday. But halford has much better songs than ripper ever thought about writing. I love ripper but only when he sings priest songs. Iced earth sucks with him in it. But the but the ozzy covers he do are awesome. So I guess I like them both equally.

[himoJ]

hahahaha are we crazy or what? halford in his fucking live could sing like this guy.... the true god is ripper.... halford was... the first god....

[PunkDarkChapter1996]

Well I think rob halfort is better

[trippwyreinferno]

@PunkDarkChapter1996 He honestly is.

[44SuperShredder]

Ripper is his own man, we should all be thankfull for satan sending him while halford pouted because it kept the priest lamp burning!

[NewJerseyJay]

Sorry but this sure the Hell isn't Judas Priest! The VOCALS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Theenragedone]

@NewJerseyJay Ripper is a much better vocalist than Halford. And last time I checked the band was in fact Judas Priest. But then again you are from Jersey.

[andrexitoppppp]

28 fuckers dislike this masterpiece...

[mazasponasz]

Reaper has the most powerful voice in the world of Metal. Although Halford has sticked to our hearts and it is actually impossible to love this version more than the one with Rob's voice.

[davokurt]

la mejor versión de este tema, y suena mil veces mejor con ripper

[spropaganda]

Ripper owns!

[planar1a]

wonderful <3

[Mr351Nova]

Where the fuck is rob ?

[Ernesto5125]

anyone know tabs for this version?

[MrPrimerock]

Long Live the Priest! We all love u guys! Let the rock live on forever!

[DamienSA82]

Tim is the best singer of this song. I adore this version

[freestylewave711]

Ripper has been the only one able to take rob halford's place...no doubt

[wwwadik417]

Здорово спел парень, прям как Беркут в "Арии":)))

[UWNKRS]

An awesome version of a great song.

[gaftfreak]

I've always felt bad for Ripper because the only man in the world that can sing better than him is - tragically - Rob Halford. Still a helluvah great singer though. Check him out singing "Hey Jude" on "Butchering the Beatles". Amazing.

[ramibite]

Nu ka- pavare tas Judas?!

[DimitriGaleos]

This Guy straight out SUCKS!!!

[andmarish]

prist are in top 4\5 bands ever live unleased in the east still rips all other live recordings to pieces if you dont have it get a copy p.s what happens to old 'ead bangers do our heads just detatch in old age

[metalcruzer]

@andmarish Nope, we keep listening and going to shows until our ears bleed and eventually fall off!!

[MrTorThur]

Ripper looks like he don't fit in with the rest of the band, but Halford fit totaly...

[SoaD0212]

Ripper is good,but Halford is better...end of story!

[device222000]

Ripper.. no passion... he's a good singer.. just no guts... On the low end... good high vocals though..

[rafforca]

Ripper's is better in this song, halford is good but no excellent.

[Ferschder93]

Yeah! Halford or nothing!

But that's very good! Although The Ripper's at the mic

[hallbergjonatan]

Agree. Halford or nothing

[aperantogalazio]

.........second class Judas...

Halford or nothing..

remember Metal Gods...not another heavy metal band..

[CreepingMartyrium]

amazing, I always love to hear tims voice! no matter in wich band he sings, he does a great job!

its pretty unfair to fuckin pick on him the whole time

[Bostafito]

100%  agree

[8timmy3]

IDK!!!

[micheldebray]

sorry but without Halford... it is not Judas Priest!!!!!

[SuRihtanil]

@micheldebray Yes you're right!

[Bostafito]

yes it's better .. hahaha

[TheBaskerman]

mejor que halford

[Isismusicnow]

Priest without Rob is a sad story :(

[ch2day]

I must say that he sings this particular song/version better than Halford, or at least I like this interpretation better.

[allfu93]

i have to say this is one of the best versions f diamonds and rust

[onepolej]

why are some people dyssing the singer? hes amazing and you should admire him for having that kind of talent and range

[metalcruzer]

@onepolej I am a huge Halford Priest fan but Ripper nailed this and created another classic in his own rite!!

[llangol]

@metalcruzer Don't forget Dylan, wrote it, Baez, sung it , they are copies.

[rdaly333]

@llangol Don't get me wrong, I love Priest, but there is a live version by Joan Baez here on the tube that is absolutely bone chilling. Check it out. Search her name, the song title, and 1975.

[darlincommitme]

@llangol

Nope - this song is by Joan Baez, not Dylan. It IS, however, about Dylan. Baez was involved with Dylan in the early 60's. At that point he was just starting out, while she was already well known. This is a "f you" to Dylan, who called her out of the blue ten years later.

[metalcruzer]

@llangol Absolutely ,that's what makes the electric version so great, they took a folk song and killed it(in a good way)

[khair6006]

@onepolej agreed, he did a really good job singing this

[blutsturmer]

@onepolej For himself, he is very talented. VERY FEW people will have the range and talent of Halford. Alot of what people are taking issue with has to do with how Halford was dropped. I am just glad they are back together and I wish Ripper all the best and thanks for being there for the music.

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

@blutsturmer Halford was never dropped he chose to do Fight and Two all on his own.

[blutsturmer]

@NoneBuriedDeeper That is one side of the story. I wasn't there and you were not there. Halford was pretty distant from Priest for a while. I have no doubt that Halford was not concerned for his future, that they are back together and that Ripper also has a career is all that is important.

[drec4life]

IM NOT JOKING, every time he hit that super hight note i got chills down my spine. not lying. and ripper now a days is better at the high screams, but halford has WAY better low, mid, and high vocals.

[emosk8gabbagangsta]

come on guys

u can't compare him to the devil himself mr. rob halford

just listen to the intro of all guns blazing and u know what i mean with devil himself

[acheron345]

he sounds nothing like the metal god im glad they kicked the wanna be out.

[thorstormlord]

Ripper rules..too bad the fans of judas priest couldnt see that and gave him no welcome or credit

[lemmy9head]

pshhhhhhhhhh. ..........listn to your jewish tunes cause ripper is a redneck who enjoys killin rich kids and raping ugly wives ............LONG LIVE HALFORD , the original judas singer

[thorstormlord]

how stupid can you be? this is music we are talking about,,so shut the f.. up

[NikZak83]

This is a fucking experience !

[Buttdead]

thats shi1t only reak judas rulez ( hatford)

this one funny

[QuorthonVikingKing]

Ripper kick ass with that voice, he's very good

[Zanpakuto722]

Indeed. Him and Halford both made great singers for the group

[RattleheadAnthony]

You must give this man respect for trying to fill really big shoes. Judas Priest!!! \m/

[GLAMETALSPIRIT]

this guy sings well, i like how he sings , but halford is the best!!

[LeonardCohenRocks]

ripper is a fuckin brave man doing this impossible job - replacing halford. nobody can, but he tried. respect.

[XSaenen]

True, nobody can. But what he did with Priest isn't half bad either. In fact Jugulator and Demolition are both full of good songs. They're among my favourite albums in fact. I Just don't look at them as Priest albums.

[LeonardCohenRocks]

I agree. He's a fantastic singer. I also see it more like a "project": Judas Priest with Ripper or something like that.

[rand9234]

rippers voice dont sound that good unless he tries to sing like rob.like in this song here.there is several times his true voice came through but didnt sound right until he put the emotion in to try and sound like rob.

[ironmetal66]

wat happend that halford isnt singing?

[6Mr6Crowley6]

For short period of time Halford left the band and made his own band titled "Halford". he was then replaced with Tim "Ripper" Owens, hte lead singer of a 'Priest cover band. Now Halford is back and Ripper fronts Iced Earth.

[mickiew4]

he doesnt actually front iced earth anymore. now he fronts Yngwie Malmsteen's band (Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force).

[joeyspider]

hello.......one question wich concert is this...I want this version but I can't find.......somebody tell me?????? please

[drumtum]

Looks like the DVD live in London.

[GOULASRAMONE]

yes it is live in london.

[onepolej]

bruce dickinson is better then both owens and halford combined.granted that owens and halford are still amazing singers but no one even comes close to bruce.

[redrabbit1000]

of course Dickinson pwns both of them

[UpInSmokeHq]

Your a dick, every priest video you just give shit all the time., Seriously just go blow you dad. PRIEST RULE!!!

[bohdan18]

man, you are absolutely mistaken Halford is a much better singer then Bruce, Bruce is the best HM showman

[UpInSmokeHq]

Your a funny fucker have you actually listened to maiden, every song sounds the fucking same. Bruce has like one note. Go watch your shitty maiden videos then fag!

[allfu93]

man i like both but he owens can hit higher notes which is a little more judas priest

[dimitrisvyronas]

i just watched this video first, and after this,the Video with Halford( Diamond and rust song)..... I think the one with Owens is better ...!! But please...respect to Halford... this is just my opinion!!!

[sweetytwome2]

this is just a bunch a shit. horrible.

[doontwasteyourtime]

Bruce Dickinson? wtf. No, he isn't.

It's Tim "Ripper" Owens. He's good but..Halford is Halford, metal God. He's irreplaceable.

[fanofozz]

Tim can not best Halford, This is actually no contest here, maybe Tim was tired?

[stalingrenhatten]

do u even know who Bruce Dickinson is?

[fejercsaba]

no one does better than Halford

[thesmogmankills]

anyone who thinks hes better than halford better go and have their hearing aids adjusted HALFORD was priest sorry to say but this version is just lame

[DX231]

Thank you for your opinion

[csdimitris2]

Halford sings it much better!

[chedurg]

ripper is much better than halford now is..and maybe how was.. :P

[teovai1616]

nice finishing but the acoustic version was terrible why did they tune their guitars to D ?? i'am answering it : HALFORD!!!

[StevenRNicholls]

He has a good voice but not for unique Halford tunes

[missrn1999]

Steel Dragon kicks ass!!

[drstenley]

Fuck! HALFORD ONLY FOR THIS SONG!

[verrrro]

great fuckin' voice

[DX231]

ripper can do stuff that halford cant do anymore

[bluescorpion77]

really???

[MisterShalashaska]

ripper good Halford GOD

[Vitorussibatno]

Ripper isn't a bad singer by any means, but he's just a place holder. He just can't live up to the expectations that Rob set. Rob's just plain amazing.

[NickCivilo]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!YEAHHHH!!!!

[w33kleyeight9]

your gay as fuck man

[T00TALL]

If your into the following bands then please feel free to check out my channel - all are in Super H.Q. w/ the absolutely best audio sound! Judas Priest Guns n Roses AC/DC Iron Maiden Mötley Crüe Scorpions Def Leppard Quiet Riot Ozzy Skidrow Metallica Ratt WASP

[hottubbrad]

Unfortunately Halford rocks........'

Ripper doesn't

Sorry Ripper . .. . go back to cover songs.....

[jesusmouth]

Rippers a great singer, its just he seems to be singing for worse and worse bands. 1st he sang for the best band ever then down to iced earth which are ok now he is singing for malmsteen. what next? kings of leon?

[DX231]

rippers an awsome singer man

[integral]

Couldn't have put it better.

[ierobixtis]

i think clearly that rob is much better than ripper because he is true and has the feeling, Ripper just coping halford in judas priest and barlow in iced earth.. He has Crystal and very beautiful voice but he has to sing whith his own way.

[RIPPEROWENS666]

Listen to Beyondfear or Framming Armaggedon from Iced Earth or Winters Bane Heart Of A Killer. I dont think he ever sounded like matt barlow. Isn't that y all the barlow obssed fans didnt like him in the first place?

[jesusmouth]

your sucking him off

[Dayvster]

YUK!

[Pieroki]

2:48 HALFORD IS IN THE PUBLIC!!!xD

[DiogoNavia]

The "Ripper" is the man!!!!

[scootyman10]

yeah listen to how rob completely bails on the high part at the end of this version, sorry but hes well out of his prime. Actually so is ripper, go listen to winters bane, heart of a killer cd for his best vocal stuff.

[youlovac]

Listen this with Halford. The first video in related list.

[a6ustin]

This version is great man!

[Garand6644]

Love this version, but i want one with Halford! (dont get me wrong, owens is amazing) Anyone know where I can find a high quality (mp3 or better) version with halford?? I have one from Limewire but the quality isnt good and you can hear ppl shouting in the crowd. Also theres THIS version on JP's album "Live in London". But but obviously, its not Halford, and it just isnt the same. I want a high quality acoustic Halford version... Anyone know where i could find it?

[darthbeviz79]

I dont why any of you would judge him He is better then all of You beacuse if he wasnt one of You goofs would be singing for the priest.

[froddy92]

wow, this is a serious crappy singer :O

[UpInSmokeHq]

rippers awesome man

[froddy92]

well, I'm not the one to judge him, or any singer, but don't think he puts enough power into the song...or am I wrong?:)

[kreed707]

dont listen to MARKCELLO he is a dumbshit

[feelinda]

Interesting to experience, but no one sings this like Joan Baez and never will........

[schecterGman]

if tim,s good enuff for the rest of priest, he should be good enuff for their fans...

[Gororco]

ALL the members of Judas Priest chose Tim to replace Rob during his absence, which means that Tim was the best possible option in their opinion. Judas Priest rocks the world for over 30 years so tell me, who are we to say that they made the wrong choice ?

[alin1975]

Ok I respect the guy and the band's choice, but I do not agree with your logic. In theory its sound, but then I see the choices that other bands made: Iron Maiden with Blaze, Nightwish with Minnie Mouse (or whatever her name is), Priest, etc. Ffs Blaze didnt hit a single note clean on X Factor.

I just came from listening to this with Halford. It is a world apart, and I am no Judas Priest fanboy.

This guy misses so many notes it hurts and I cant believe you guys cant hear that.

[everyonedoesit2]

Personally i think this is the one song that Halford sounds better on these days. Except for 2:06 i absolutely LOVE that last high note which Halford can't reach any more. My favourite part of the song ^_^

All in all brilliant performance from The Ripper, wish i could have been at that concert!

[loredile]

...wonderful....

[stuartstratford]

there is only one other guy i can think of who sings like that and he is a cunt

AXLE ROSE

[kranen1]

Axl Rose can´t sing like Ripper, pfft.

Ripper can go alot higher and sing much cleaner.

[rrhodes1980]

eh, the version of this with rob is 100 times more emotional and powerful

[ulverblack]

Rob is Judas Priest but i,m very sorry about this song,because Tim Ripper sings 100000000000000000000000000000 times better ON THIS SONG!

[Markcello]

The version of this with Halford suck so much.

[thurnond]

weak

[blackienvincecock]

Tim Ripper Owens your just no Rob Halfor singing this

[Storchillarn]

Best version of this song.

[XavanceX]

OMG this singer sucks. no Halford, no Judas Priest.

[smileyjj33]

Donk care who u r, u can never sing like rob !!!!

[upocultura]

ok halford is a god , but get serious owen is incredible.for me halford has all the package to be the frontman , but i dare to say that owen is the best metal voice i ve ever heard till now

[rickhorror]

they should have the singer from sacred steel sing

[PuertoPoland]

omg the new vocalist sucks! Halford RULES!!!!!

[Marze666]

the version with halford is better,

[susycobac]

How sad none mentions in their comments that this song was originally written by Joan Baez..and was dedicated to Bob Dylan...the original song is really sweet in Joan Baez's voice.

[Luke0109]

Lol! I just had to look at the last comment... :D:D

[Luke0109]

Can someone tell me who is THAT singing?

Sorry, if someone answered this earlier, im lazy to read all the comments :D

[metalero19882]

FUCK!!!!!! he just FUCK JUDAS PRIEST BY THE ASS BADLY!

thats motherfucker just fuck judas spirit, and my ear this night.

i fucking hate that guy

[TheNewThink]

you should not hate this guy. You should hate homophobia, which is such a mad disease that makes people kick one of the greatests vocalists of all time out their band. It's just insane.

[metalero19882]

oh... no, i don't hate homo ppl, just i get away from them the fastest as i can to not like'm that much. thats other point...

well, i hate that man, really... he take "judas priest" and shit all over.

i can listen one or two of demolition and jagulator, but its other kind of music, owens want to "re-new" the old judas priest, but for me is over

that's my reason.

cheers

[moreliacore]

This fucking SUCKS!!!

ROB RULES!!!

[metalero19882]

u got the fucking right!

[sdf7777777]

Who is the vocal?????

[metalero690]

rob halford

[metalero690]

noooooo

i´m sorry

i think the song was singed for halford

im wrong

is ripper owens

[dellshakespeareaps]

IT's a guy called ripper owen, who sang with the priest between 1996 and 2003. He is generally considered to be not quite up tto the standard of Rob Halford, much like Blaze Bayley with Iron Maiden.

[foxynzlove]

terrible so bad

[foxynzlove]

this guy is so boring.. rob is much better...vocal wise he out shines this guy.hes crap sorry to be blunt but i only give credit where its due and THELAWYER you have no idea...come on the guys terrible...SKATE0WHITEZOMBIEwa­s right he has nothing on manowar or judas priest or the one and only ronnie james dio.....please dont wreck good songs owens or just do it to peoples stuff in your league..like poison or warrent...they are also wannabes.....

[allaboutmymonster]

that's not rob halford.. EEEEUCH. what a boring person. no charisma whatsoever. there is no judas priest without halford. ..sorry, hahaha..
