      If anyone hasn’t seen the Hear N Aid film the bit with Dio is priceless, these two Behemoths on playback of Robs stratospheric “we’re stars” background vox , Ronnie was amazing but not hitting those notes, nobody was until Mili Matijevic (Steelheart) and these days Yannis Papadopoulos (Beast in Black) great shite!

    On the studio version, especially during the slow middle bit, he sings the lines much more, sustaining the notes with nice vibrato. When you catch live versions, the bands have been on the road for months, performing nightly, and you can hear it in Rob's voice here. He's cutting a lot of notes short to preserve his voice, probably for the high notes, for which of course, Rob is legendary.

      I actually prefer the live versions of all of their earlier stuff. I've been a huge Priest fan since I was a kid but I always thought the studio albums up through Turbo sounded too clean and processed. I enjoyed the Unleashed in the East versions and the versions on the live video from the Screaming for Vengeance tour much more than the studio versions and really enjoyed seeing them live.

      @@reppostthat's 💯 valid, I think many of the bootlegs of Jimi Hendrix sound way better than the studio version, it's a wonderful saturated, organic and grooving sound... yes even with the band missing a cue because they are always in fact 'following' Jimi... Hendrix would just kind of shrug it off and keep going.
      It's magical. He's the king of cool to me. Nobody sounded like the Jimi Hendrix experience, or even Band of Gypsys. I think if I found more Led Zeppelin bootlegs I would enjoy those equally.

    Yyyesss! The 70's indeed!! Their first album came out in 1974, not if that was the American release or British. A great story I heard that Glenn Tipton the guitar player went to Rob's (parents) house to talk to him about joining the band and could hear him practicing his vocals to a Doris Day song. Awesome! Peace 🕊️

      I was there - AND in the video right up front. it was HOT there that day. I felt so sorry for the bands that had to follow this. I saw them in the Cow Palace in San Francisco the previous year during the Screaming For Vengeance tour - he invited us to come see them at the US Festival so we DID!

    It was such a pleasure to watch the joy on your face during this track. Priest has been part of my life nearly 50 years, and I remember my first live experience with Victim of Changes. It's not hyperbole to say it changed my life. Thank you for being so open with how this track touched you. Your smile at the gong was pure sunshine, and that's how Priest has made me feel since I was a child. Beauty is beauty. I recently read Rob's second book which brought me further happiness. Thanks again, it's a pleasure to listen to folks like you breaking down the iconic works of classic metal.

Thank you!

  • @lateknightr3038

    victim of changes is from around 1975..robs 32 years old in this performance in 1983..already been on the road for a decade and made 8 albums at this point in his career..the studio version is really good,his voice is incredible . that whole era of judas priest rocks out..most of their best work is from 1973-1991 in my opinion.even tho their last album firepower is really good from like 2018

    Love learning from your videos. It paints all of these songs I've been listening to and attempting to sing all these years, in such a profoundly new light. If you're enjoying this journey down the Metal rabbit hole, might i suggest Phil Anselmo of Pantera and the song Cemetery Gates. It's a classic Groove Metal song where the guitar and vocals trade off in a truly amazing way.

    This is so cool! I was surprised and amazed that this song was even getting analyzed! I used to listen this on their 'Unleashed in the East' cassette tape on my Walkman all the time while doing my paper route haha. Rob Halford is an amazing talent and i'm glad you checked it out. I've always enjoyed them and it got me through the mundane paper route for sure...them and the Scorpions 💞 ty...there's many good songs on that 'Unleashed in the East' album. It's a gem of goodness...keep that rabbit hole going 🐰

    I just think you're fantastic. Your deep knowledge and experience of vocals and vocals training is incredible. What really is so interesting to me? Is that your critiquing these rock and metal bands, and the excitement on your face and the looks that I've been seeing have just been kind of inspirational for me. I'm a long time rock and hard rock metal drummer and a lot of the things that you have been explaining. I have been trying to explain to fellow bandmates throughout my career. Keep up the great work. And if our paths ever meet, it would be an honor to meet you.

      Yeah, he was a power drummer, with just the smallest touch of funk. Check out the band, 'Trapeze' that he was in before joining Priest. ("Touch My Life", "Black Cloud" and "Way Back To The Bone" for a few to start with.)

    The absolute best clip to hear Rob’s true range is a 1973 BBC clip of Dreamer Deciever, where he does a lot of “clean” singing in the beginning.

  • @j_freed
    @j_freed Před 9 měsíci +6

    This is such a cool riff, I think even Jimi Hendrix would've liked how groovy it is.
    The epitome of good 70's guitar riffs. Grinding and a little syncopated. It sounds a little like Black Sabbath, the swampy quality.

    Judas Priest is one of the great bands from before the 80 ies who got their breakthrough in the start 80 ies with the album Brittish Steel...and the song Breaking the Law! Being very versatile with songs of Joan Baez (Diamond and Rust) to the new stuff you can say the Rob and the boys have made a realm of thier own masterpiece.

    Hey Miss B
    Love your reaction.
    I have seen them live at the Cap Center in MD Turbo Lover tour. This was an arena probably 20k people.
    I was Jar Head went with others we had a great time.
    So much better acoustics at the Cap center. I'm a musician and this was an inspiration to me at such a young age. This is one of those bands you HAVE to have been there in order to truly appreciate not only Rob but KK and GT and the rest of the band. Honestly if you want to listen to the best album vocals in all Rob and the boyz have to offer it would be Unleashed in the East live.
    Its always a pleasure witnessing your reaction.
    Luv the variety you react too also. Would like for you to give credit to some unknowns or forgottens also ex. Randy Jackson Zebra. Talk about vocals..

    Long time JP fan here! Rob's voice is a force of nature! Would love to see you react to a new young band, Liliac. The singer, Melody, is also a force of nature. In fact, Rob recorded a shout out video to her and is a big fan. A good first one of theirs would a cover of Dio's Holy Diver, but their originals are really incredible. 👌

  • @heavymetalbass1116

    Rob Halford is one of the best singers I have ever listened to. I would like to make a recommendation for a band most people have never heard of and has a great vocalist. The group is Savatage, the singer is Jon Oliva and the guitarist is his brother Criss Oliva who is one of the founding members of Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The song you should listen to is Hall Of The Mountain King.

  • @phillipwilson6205
    @phillipwilson6205 Před 9 měsíci +1

    One of my favourite tracks from my favourite band. Seen this track live numerous times and it is just a total sucker punch of talent, energy and power! Prefer other versions without the guitar solo break in the middle. I have seen and heard him sing this song in numerous forms, around 1978/79 his voice was unreal, in the 2000’s, it was deeper and more mellow with high pitches scattered throughout, just unbelievable range, even today at 71 years of age! Great review and as usual with Rob, even vocal coaches struggle to get a handle on his vocals!

  • @rrrrjack

      Its dower depressive tone gets overlooked by people who want the more bold aggressive 80s heavy metal attitude, rather than the earlier Black Sabbath type attitude and subjects like in wings

  • @matthewtaylor744
    @matthewtaylor744 Před 4 měsíci

    Glad you enjoyed them so much! As a young fan, who was born after their heyday, seeing people discover and love JP makes me happy. If you wanna do more of their songs I would suggest checking out Here Come the Tears + Dissident Aggressor, Green Manilishi, Freewheel Burning, Riding on The Wind, they have so many good songs (and so few have been reviewed/analyzed by channels like yours). There's also Turbo Lover if you want something goofy with its music video. The album versions of their songs are also very good if you can't find live good live examples.
    They're a really amazing band, with a lot of energy, and a big influence on so many bands that came after, though sometimes they feel overlooked these days despite their importance.
