Hearing Painkiller as your first Priest song is like downing a straight double whisky as your first ever drink. Most people would ease in with a song like You Got Another Thing Coming. There are heavier metal bands out there but if you're not a full on metal fan it's a hell of an introduction. It's my favourite song of theirs btw.

I remember hearing raining blood and actually loving it, that’s what got me into metal. Now Judas Priest and Metallica are my favourites. Funny how just a little time can change your whole opinion

This isn't a vocal comment but, I love your videos. I was a recording engineer in Virginia Beach, Virginia in the mid 1980'. In 1985 Scott Travis was the local drumming legend. He booked a Friday night at my recording studio Magic Traxx. I hadn't heard him play by that point. He actually blew me away that night. I remember listening to him play from the control room as we were recording thinking this guy just needs his big break! We were recording a demo tape for him to take to Los Angeles to see if he could make it in the record business. He actually told me that night he didn't want to just be a rockstar. He wanted to be the drummer for Judas Priest. This song was the first record with Judas Priest. The drum riff has become one of the most iconic drum parts of all time. He is the longest serving drummer for them, 34 years now.Dreams really do come true sometimes. Side note Scott is almost 7 feet tall and a really nice guy. He first played for Hawker when he got to Los Angeles. Then another Iconic band Racer X. \mXm/

@@HalfUnder He graduated from Granby High School in Norfolk. He played all the venues in the Tidewater area. I don't remember all the bands he played with back then but, I do remember "Prophet". I don't know if it's still there but, The Brass Rail comes to mind it was at the bend in the road on Oceanview ave. in Norfolk in the Oceanview area and there was a club across the street from there that he played. Also there used to be a big rock club near the Virginia beach ocean front called the Crystal near 17th street. My studio was kind of behind Abby music store on Witch duck rd. but, it was really on Cleveland st. across the street from the cable company building. When Judas Priest came to Hampton Colosseum in 1982 for the Screaming for Vengeance tour, he wanted to set up his drums on the sidewalk and just play hoping someone from the band would see and hear him play and tell the band to check him out but, he changed his mind. Even after he was in Judas Priest he had a house behind the cinema and draft house in the Pembroke area. I remember doing live sound with him at a club in Petersburg Virginia with his old bandmates right after he played Rock n Rio in 1992 where the crowd was estimated to be half a million. There was maybe 15 people there :^)

I only discovered you about ten days ago when I watched your reaction to Metallica’s “One” and you have quickly become my favourite “reactor”. Firstly - not trying to judge a book by its cover - you don’t look like a “rock chick” and when you are hearing the tunes, which are often some of the heaviest that the genre has ever produced, you have a look on your face that really looks like horror. And then you confound the listener/watcher by pointing out the technical detail of how much you love what you have just heard, precisely what the singer or other band member has done, and then gone back and listened to it again, often several times. Your reactions really are a breath of fresh air in what has become a rather overcrowded space. Long may you continue!

Great reaction video! Your question at the end about if he always sings like this... that's a great pick-up. In most Priest songs, there will be big notes that jump into this range, but it's not often this high from the jump. The voice at the end is more like Halford's "normal" voice. Also, that harmony you picked out in the middle - that's his mid-to-low range harmonizing with himself. And, yes, it's amazing. Listen to that part again for the power of the underneath voice when it hits the big note, and you won't wonder if it was someone else in the band. It's definitely all him. Also, since you said you would rather see a live performance, there is a really good album from the 80's called "Priest Live" that pre-dates this song, but really captures what he does live. There are a few accompanying live videos from it floating around youtube. Here's a good one to see him delivering the full range. A little bit more commercial, I guess.

1. To get the "real" Rob Halford-experience I recommend you start with the "Sentinel" or "Freewheel Burning"-live from the "Fuel for life"-tour/Dallas-DVD. That makes you appreciate the vocals even more! Painkiller was Priest response when everything went in the opposite direction, so this kind of vocals were new even to us Priest-fans! Also, Rob's solo-album "Resurrection"-live with his band "Halford" was called the best Judas Priest-album that Priest never made! 😊 There's a reason he's called "The metal god"! 2. And yes his voice sits lower than you imagined. You should check out "Into the pit" where he goes between high and extremely low. 😊

"Dreamer deciver" should be next. This song starts so slow then grows. We can hear the large range of Rob Halford, and there is an amazing live performance from the 70s on youtube

Totally agree, Dreamer Deceiver is just next level.

You desperately need to hear Rob Halford sing his stripped down version of Diamonds and Rust live. You’ll hear the quality of his voice and how he sells a song even at his age. A legend.

Scott Travis the drummer is a BEAST! Painkiller is the first Judas Priest album to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced long-time drummer Dave Holland in 1989.

I LOVE your reaction. Your insight regarding how he double tracked his high “screamy” vocal over his normal register/voice (I don’t know the technical terms) early on in the song was something I’ve never paid attention to, and I’ve been playing this song since it came out in Sep ‘91. Before this song Rob never did a whole track in that super high scream voice. The man’s back catalogue is a treasure trove of legendary vocal feats. Thank you for such a fun and fascinating analysis. Subscribed, liked, all of that.

I’m impressed with how much you like the beginning and its complexity. It’s a VERY intense song. Like a mouthful of Altoids for somebody who’s not initiated to Priest. You’re a great thinker. And really…cute. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Rib is from Birmingham, England, same as Ozzy Osbourne. This band was one of the originators of "screaming metal", but he is very flexible in his vocals. He's even done ballads in Priest and other projects. The albums that probably have the widest range of styles are Angel of Retribution and Nostradamus.

An ideal performance for a vocal analysis is the live performance of Dreamer/Deceiver & Deceiver (Two separate tracks making up two parts of one song) from The Old Grey Whistle Test back in 1975. The performance takes you through pretty much every dynamic of his voice from full chest range, to bridge, to a strong high mix, to his scream register you hear through most of this.

These guys were a big part of what created modern Heavy Metal. They were around early on when the genre was still forming and bands were still finding what sorts of styles and sounds work. They ended up being one of the earlier pioneering bands that led the way and inspired many more. They're like grandfathers of heavy metal, most successful bands through the years can trace their pedigree back to Judas Priest. And to top it off they're still to this day 54 years later able to give a good show and continue being an inspiration to new young talent.

Enjoy your reviews and what a mind for music you have. In the songs "Victim of Changes" (Studio) and "Diamonds and Rust" (Studio) (A Joan Baez cover), Rob Halford takes it down a few notches (for the most part) and shows off a beautiful voice. For the band RUSH, strongly recommend the song "Losing It" (Studio). Just a beautiful song (Violin included) with a very deep meaning so if not for a review at least listen to it for yourself.

Rob Halford of Judas Preist has a 4-octave vocal range (C2-C#6 apparently) and tends to move around those ranges quite a bit.... this track isn't exactly the norm for him but he certainly likes to hit the high notes throughout his songs..... love your reaction to this epic metal masterpiece thanks!

IMO, Rob Halford has the Ultimate Metal voice. You should really check out their Older stuff, back when Rob was younger and had more lung capacity. Stuff like, Victim of Changes, Hell Bent for leather, Diamonds and Rust, Green Manalishi... their older Live stuff really shows his incredible vocal skill and range...

At this point in Judas Priest career, they had been around for 20+ years and this song was a statement made in the early 90's to let everyone know that they still had it! Newer, heavier music was coming out and they just wanted to prove a point. Robs voice has all the ranges. check out 70's (Victim Of Changes, Beyond The Realms Of Death), 80's (Desert Plains, Before The Dawn, Blood Red Skies). These are slower songs that showcase Robs voice through the years.
