I am sorry for your loss. It is a pity that we are on different continents and I did not know your husband and you. Your husband was a talented man. You can't help but love this kind of music. I'm from the land of snows and bears :) and I've never seen Priest, but I've been loving them since 1995. and what they do is amazing, their energy and expression is something
I was lucky enough to see Priest a couple of times. I’m glad you had enjoyable experiences with your mate. I wish I had a similar mate to enjoy this music. Alas, it’s not for everyone … but you’d better believe that it fuels me daily. Peace.
I still cannot understand how he can do the things he does vocally. The pitch, the accuracy, the power, the aggression..It goes on and on..what a legend
Not to mention he's not having to destroy his vocal chords to do it. You can tell he's able to find that perfect resonance point in his voice to make those sounds instead of straining to get there. I'm sure they rehearse plenty, but his singing ability has got to be largely innate talent.
I think this is Halford's best live performance ever. He just owns it, it seems like he just couldn't keep those amazing high notes inside himself, he let all of his vocal power come out naturally. And that is fucking awesome.
Literally what I imagine when you say "heavy metal". The lighting, the sound, the dueling solos with alternating spotlights, the choreography, the leather, the hair, the audience, the loudness. This performance is the prototype of metal for me.
Japanese guitar master Sakura Yoshida and her legendary white 'Flying V': Judas Priest/"The Sentinel" {playthru} czcams.com/video/uvtJYC8qsQk/video.html
"The Sentinel" ranks [ imo ] as one of the best metal songs ever written - the dual guitar harmonies are sublimely haunting .....and the 'samurai ethos' woven into Halford's lyrics is timeless in a brutal yet compelling way...... the dark poetry of the tale mesmerizes......this song has the power of a bomb ....and yet retains the musical subtlety of a classical ensemble......quite simply put - this piece is a work of art. Metal art that is .....for those uninitiated. It just doesn't get any better than this ....different maybe.....but not better.
You wrote this a long time ago now, but you don't get enough credit for it. You are too right brother. It is not just good. It is tantalising in a way that not many songs are. IF you really listen it keeps you on the edge throughout and won't disappoint for a single second. Heavt metal at its best.
@@KeepChessSimple True, but the comment doesn't claim this is from Priest...Live, he's referring to this period in general. Although I'd argue Rob was even more impressive during the Mercenaries of Metal tour, as evidenced by the New Haven concert.
I started collecting vinyls over the last year or two, and my dad had a bunch from the 80s. He gave me all of them. Metallica, Slayer, Maiden, all of it. One of the albums he gave me was Priest... Live! I haven't been able to spin all of them yet but this is definitely my next one!
I miss Rob doing this amazing presence on stage... His performance was amazing, not only vocally speaking, but in stage presence, instead of just staying still and holding the mic with two hands, looking nowhere, etc... He was a myth on stage in these times!!
Well, the man ain’t getting any younger, obviously he’s having real difficulties hitting those notes. I miss his stage persona so much, rewatching old bops every now and then;)
Pfft those are amatuer number. Pakistani people listen to the song the entire day, we don't even breathe until the sentinel is playing in the background.
+Sophie Grace Where can i get those jackets? I want to dress up like they did on this video and sing their song on singing competition (watched by few milion ppl).
To me, this is the best Judas Priest song. The most efficient, most delivery, the breakdown part and then Rob’s vocals at the end of the track are incredible. This song and Ram it Down are in my Top 3.
Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases it's chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown if those aren't the most chilling lyrics I've ever heard from a rock track, I don't know what is
In 84, the first time listening to this album on my stereo, amidst the blur, I could make out these words: *Now facing one another* The stand-off eats at time *Then all at once a silence falls* *As the bell ceases its chime* Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth *The knives fly out like bullets* *Upon their deadly course* Screams of pain and agony *Rent the silent air* *Amidst the dying bodies* *Blood runs everywhere* The figure stands expressionless *Impassive and alone* Unmoved by his victory *By the seeds of death he's sown* ...and I remember thinking (even though I couldn't quite make out ALL the words) that these lyrics were just mythic; that THIS was why I loved METAL - only in Metal could something so medieval and visceral be expressed with such drama and power. And the fact that someone would use the word "impassive" in a metal song - that was just gravy!
Dude, this part from Night Crawler is chilling as well. Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows "Come to me" it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descend the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood
My father left his wife and 4 boys when I was 10 years old. I went to see Judas Priest when I was 13. This was the Sad Wings Of Destiny album. I was the oldest boy in our family but I felt a lot of pressure my job was to raise my brothers to be good men. The music played by Judas Priest was spectacular. Every lyric struck me as true. The honesty of each event in the lyrics was the correct answer to my life. Rob Halford looked down at me and did not remove his eyes, he asked me a question 3 times never changing his eye sight. (What do you want) he asked me directly never removing his eye sight from my eyes. I held up my leather coat in the air in front of Rob Halford. He said loudly "" I Know What you want""Each song was inspiration for me.
My Grandmother passed when my Mom was 8. Grandpa had MS. Mom raised four younger siblings mostly by herself back in the 60/70's. Always an open heart and an open mind. Always loved all forms of music!
Great story of your life bro, life is sometimes tough and we don’t know where can get the extra Strength we need it to face it , in this case You found it in the best metal band ever ..
No where but the metal community do you find endless stories of hope and love it like your's. You have uncountable brothers and sisters who know that truth
Halford is the GOAT. There can be no question about that. Not only his unbelievable singing prowess, but his charisma and stage presence. He's on his own level as far as I'm concerned.
The duel between Glen and KK is the stuff guitar legends are made of. While the lyrics explain what's going down the guitar solos leave no doubt as to the violence of the situation.
Dave Holland was such an underrated drummer. I didn't even appreciate him when this album first came out, but he really does a great job in playing "in the pocket" and with a distinct, heavy-hitting sound. RIP.
One of my favorite Priest tunes. I've heard it dozens of times, and I still get goosebumps whenever Halford screams "SWORN TO AVENGE... CONDEMNED TO HELL!"
Been listening to Priest for almost 20 years now. The hair still stand up on the back of my neck when a Priest song turns up on the playlist. Phenomenal.
The Sentinel, one of the BEST composition ever made. It's like a Classical Symphony, thru a long Song that tastes short, so I'm gonna listen again. One of my favorites ever. Judas Priest is the King of Heavy Metal, and fuck ! how they sound live , whoooaaooo
Just listen the chorus after 4:00min...Mister Halfords voice reaches some weird level, unknown to man...i adore his way of clean but yet brutal screams and everyone who says that he do not has his voice anymore like it was when he was younger i say to you...try to do half of the vocals like he did about 25 years and tell me if you still got your voice intact. What a sacrife for for metal what he did.
albermarle52 absolutely agree with you..I've seen them aprox 40 times during their amazing career and not once did halfords voice disappoint (even on back to back shows) actually the entire band is always fantastic!
This performance gives me chills, such of perfection. Judas priest is one of the reasons why I love metal, Rob Halford is definitely the best voice of heavy metal along with the greatness of Ronnie James Dio.
Lyrics : Along deserted avenues Steam begins to rise The figures primed and ready Prepared for quick surprise He's watchin' for a sign His life is on the line Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel Dogs whine in the alleys Smoke is on the wind From deep inside its empty shell A cathedral bell begins Reading out its toll A storm begins to grow Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel Amidst the upturned burned-out cars The challengers await And in their fists clutch iron bars With which to seal his fate Across his chest is scabbards rest The rows of throwing knives Whose razor points in challenged tests Have finished many lives Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases its chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel
Rent the silent air Amid the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by his victory And the seeds of death he's sown (Chorus)
I would've given anything to see them in their prime. This lineup was their best lineup ever, hands down. Tipton and Downing were the best dual guitars in metal history, imo.
the showmanship, the Shakepearean acting, the engagement of the auidence.. he did it all for us... saw him 7 times... he really did care for his audience... the best performer ever...
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe

Damn right
Sabbath made it Heavy, but the Priest made it Metal!
E.C. Everett where the fuck are you to send you cash for some beer?! Perfect comment..you nailed it
Every time someone mentions the words "HEAVY METAL", Judas Priest is inevitably the first band that comes to mind.
Id argue the opposite. Sabbath made it Metal. but Priest made it Heavy
@@markey412 nah, sabbath gave it the rounded heavy sound, but priest made it sharp like metal
This is some true shit this is the era of harmonized gutair and shred solos that clasdified metal
The way Rob Halford yells, "Sworn to avenge! Condemn to Hell!" is epic.
It sounds better than the studio record.
Couldn't hear him. What did I think, (paranoid) he was saying?
I pulled up this video specifically to hear that part again. Rob's voice is epic.
Just one word: epic!
I get all warm in my head when he yells like that. It's beyond the limitations
My dearly departed husband and I saw Priest 13 times ! He could play every song. Thanks Priest for the memories! ❤

I'm from the land of snows and bears :) and I've never seen Priest, but I've been loving them since 1995. and what they do is amazing, their energy and expression is something
I am really sorry he's gone, but I just want you to know, according to my uneducated assesment he was a fucking legend. I can't play any JP song.
Your dear Husband has become a God of Metal and is watching over us all forever!

I was lucky enough to see Priest a couple of times. I’m glad you had enjoyable experiences with your mate. I wish I had a similar mate to enjoy this music. Alas, it’s not for everyone … but you’d better believe that it fuels me daily. Peace.
probably the best voice in heavy metal history, just my opinion.
That and Bruce Dickinson
Ronnie James Dio is a great candidate too.
Michael Kiske otro candidato
I agree. Only comparable to Dio and Bruce Dickinson.........
Joseph Nicholson I agree!
I still cannot understand how he can do the things he does vocally. The pitch, the accuracy, the power, the aggression..It goes on and on..what a legend
Well he is a Metal God
Not to mention he's not having to destroy his vocal chords to do it. You can tell he's able to find that perfect resonance point in his voice to make those sounds instead of straining to get there. I'm sure they rehearse plenty, but his singing ability has got to be largely innate talent.
And his flow and sense of timing for expression is amazing
He has a natural octave voice. Lucky eh
Had a friend who found Halford to be too shrill. He's no longer my friend.
Priest and Maiden.... The best metal bands.
The legendary guitar duel, and prime Rob Halford.
My dad won't stop listening to this on the highest volume in the garden
I like your dad.
Darji Slayer a man of taste. You should be grateful.
Smart man !
Yeah, but the garden is now invincible.
ur dads a cool cat
I think this is Halford's best live performance ever. He just owns it, it seems like he just couldn't keep those amazing high notes inside himself, he let all of his vocal power come out naturally. And that is fucking awesome.
Totally agree. Never forget this band. Feel sad about Glen but Faulkner got what it takes to carry on the flag
Agreed my friend 🤘💀🤘
He got sober and made the Metal history.
In the first verse he is out of tune, but after the third verse he's getting warm and he's nailing it
I saw them on the PainKiller tour and still have permanent hearing loss. Worth it.
Literally what I imagine when you say "heavy metal".
The lighting, the sound, the dueling solos with alternating spotlights, the choreography, the leather, the hair, the audience, the loudness.

One of Halford's best vocal performances ever. The chorus is INSANELY technical.
I don't know about technical but it sounds sick.
Rob, Glenn, KK, Dave, and Ian. The most iconic Priest lineup! No question!
During this period of the band Rob's voice was at its peak. Priest... Live is just the best live record they ever did and one of the best ever .
This is a different version than from Priest...Live. There he has a different introduction. This one is from ´Fuel for life´

Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases it's chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown

Dude, this part from Night Crawler is chilling as well.
Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood

I much prefer to go back in heavy metal time than live in heavy metal future. The musicianship was top notch, and Priest is the prime example.

Lyrics :
Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watchin' for a sign
His life is on the line
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins
Reading out its toll
A storm begins to grow
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest is scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives
Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Rent the silent air
Amid the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by his victory
And the seeds of death he's sown
(Chorus)
Bonjovi Beater...so proud to be BRITISH when I see this!
I would've given anything to see them in their prime. This lineup was their best lineup ever, hands down. Tipton and Downing were the best dual guitars in metal history, imo.
i was there.......i heard this song on the tour that had it on the album,defenders of the faith..........tickets $15 from a scalper
My first concert was Defenders then I got to see them twice on this tour, both shows were great.
I saw them on the Defenders tour, they were incredible
The most evil sounding opening riff ever!
+walker8476 That goes to The Ripper or Black Sabbath.
+walker8476 Dissident Aggressor has a far more foreboding / evil opening than this. Both amazing songs though.
walker8476 I've seen them in the early 80's till 2000's his never had changed!
I think Five Magics sounds very evil.
What's an "opening riff"? Ear ghosts say Iron Man...
The solo exchange between KK and Tipton is epic. Halford conducting makes it even better.
Defenders of the faith is definitely in the top 5 best metal albums of all time
Judas Priest made me fall in love with metal music in the early 80s!
the showmanship, the Shakepearean acting, the engagement of the auidence.. he did it all for us... saw him 7 times... he really did care for his audience... the best performer ever...
That high pitched scream in this one is rad
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
how can someone actually not like this???
quintessential dad rock. the best of its kind
My god, his voice was so good- His vocals were on point, can’t believe he was able to do this live!
True Heavy Metal was born!!!
Rob is 100% in it to win it every time he hits the stage.
The best heavy metal band on earth
My favorite Priest song of them all and they have loads of great songs.
i 2nd that
Mine also.Its the perfect metal song.Halford is the best metal singer period.
Yup! There is just something so epic about this tune. Freewheel Burning and Painkiller are my other top favs
This is killer ... But I prefer Electric Eye.....
It was Freewheel Burning that got me into Priest back in the 80's.
It was Donny across the street that got me into Motorhead by loaning me his Ace Of Spades tape.
(he did get it back)
RIP Lemmy
40 years later he still roars
Priest really needs to invite KK back. He's a founding member and ready to work.
One of my top 5 favorites. I can listen to this band until CZcams wears out.
