for anyone who doesn't think rob's still got it: take a look at 5:05

[rcalvocruz1008]

the metal god sounds better than i expected for this song!! sounds fucking awesome!!! :)

[The147350]

@gojira931 I saw Priest 3 times. '86 Turbo, '04 Ozzfest & '11 Epitaph. Rob has actually sounded better each and everytime. \m/ Metal Gods \m/

[Agonizer666]

Oh dear, mr Travis.. :)

[ShinjiKanagawa]

And I disagree about Rob losing his stage presence. That look he gives at 5:19 gave me chills down my spine. He knows people have been critical of him losing his voice, and he knows he just did his entire career justice in those few seconds. \m/

[ShinjiKanagawa]

@megapurify Honestly I was at Metal Masters exclusively for Black Sabbath and Judas Priest kicked their ass in almost every single way.

Rob still has is extreme high range and distortion but his upper chest voice is shot. Thats why he sound awesome on this song, its mostly all upper range. But get Rob in his middle range and he struggles. Rob is one of the few metal singers of his era that knowns how to conserve notes in other songs to leave enough energy to do Painkiller. The problem with Rob is he's inconsistent. I saw back to back shows on the last tour and he was great one night, bad the next.

@megapurify The thing is that when you sing like Dio does, it's much easier to conserve your voice. Halford has a much more high pitched style, with alot more difficult songs. Rinabow in the dark and Heaven and hell are no easy songs, but Painkiller, the Sentinel, Freewheel burning etc. are much more difficult to sing. Dio would't have been able to sing any of them, even in his prime. I love Dio, he's one best, but they have very different styles.

[TheHuntercry]

Its just so awesome that Rob can still do it :)

[megapurify]

@metalmaniac2493 No it isn't. If you can't do your incredible body of work the justice they deserve, don't do them. This is a simple money making scheme which doesn't sit too well with me. Dio was able to perform like he did in the old days with ease and was almost a decade older than halford. When I saw them in 2008 on the metal masters tour dio blew this guy out of the water, no comparison.

[metalmaniac2493]

@megapurify What? So it isn't good enough that he sings an incredibly hard song, he has to do it with ease or it's just not good enough?
