Rob halford is now on a level so beyond metal, that he can do whatever he wants on stage, walk in circles, bow down for hours, kneel and stay motionless and still its the Metallest of all metal performance. Something about this man just emanates steel wherever he exists.
He could sing that with a lower tone, nobody would mind and would still sound good - but NOPE, the Metal God still goes all out to reach that old high lol
Jesus christ, and that's at the end of a full set and going balls out, and he can still get that high. 😳 Yes, he's a touch flat on the top end, and maybe lost a note or two from up there as well, but he's 70 FOR FUCK SAKE! The fact he has that much still, and has the energy and sheer fucking iron to go out and do that is amazing.
I love Judas Priest, but every time Rob bends over to hit the high notes, I just can't get out of mind that he's filling his Depends to get there....just my twisted mind....but i'll be there in 15-20 years...hail Priest.
he's actually always done that for painkiller, he's just bending over a bit more nowadays. i have video from 2008 metal masters (altho i was too close and it was too loud, so the sound is terrible) and he was bending over.
It is actually a perfectly legitimate singing technique. You can find videos and information about it pretty easily. It helps to reach the higher end of your vocal range with less difficulty. Here is a choir instructor demonstrating the technique: czcams.com/video/7OB7i2Npsxw/video.htmlsi=AfbEdPVW1GscV7mW
I’m not even that much of a Judas Priest fan, but if they can still perform with this amount of energy AND still put out music of similar caliber, they have my respect wholeheartedly
What amazing Energy AND love for music!!! Rob AND JP thank you so much for all this Heavy Metal Time!! 50 years AND More!!! Glads for everyone from Mérida Yucatán México 🌟🇲🇽
Would have loved to see this. Seen him in Portland Oregon a few years ago and I aint even sure who was playing for him. Didnt get to hear him hit his high notes even one time.
Tech Port is the 2 night stop in the Alamo city. Proud to say that my daughter will attend also. Told her that I last saw them on British Steel and Point Of Entry tours. 40 odd years later I'm going to Witness the Priest again . Mr. Tipton we all hope you can Rock San Antonio again with a jam. Mr. Halford let's do it one more time in honor of The Godfather - Joe Anthony who years ago did his very best and accomplished his goal of making Judas Priest a fan favorite. Those were the times at Freeman Coliseum. Those interviews with Halford and Anthony will always stand out. 👏👏👏
Yes, it is, mainly so that Rob can still hit the high notes. He is very passionate about that. Most metal bands play a key or two down when touring anyways to go easy on the vocalist
Yes. Manowar, Twisted Sister, Europe, and many other old-school metal bands do that. Iron Maiden is one of the only ones who still play in "E standard" tuning.
That last pain.... he really pushed that one and sort of redeemed himself because he didn't hold the previous ones and the long notes either. But the last one resurrected (see what I did there?) the old Rob.
@@Mitch93 Well If a person can sing metal tunes into their seventies then they're doing really well Bruce Dickinson is another one that's still able to hit a lot of those notes
I'm watching this, and I'm glad he's still going, but, I don't think Rob Halford's having that much fun anymore... either that, or if that was the last song on the set, he looked -DONE-
I went to the Georgia show the week after this and it's definitely the second one, because they play this after an hour and 20 minutes straight almost of metal madness. He really doesn't have the ability to go that far, but he does it anyway because he _is_ having that much fun, and remains that passionate. Truly inspiring.
@@BlackbladeYT glad to hear it. As long as he’s actually enjoying himself still. Christopher Lee always had a smile on his face when he was singing for his metal band too xD
The way Rob can still hit those high notes at his age is inhuman. Wow.
That's because he's not human. He's the Metal God!
TEACH THEM BROTHER
Even Ozzy lost his range eventually, it’s seriously impressive the way Rob has actually managed to refine his vocal range as he gets older
@@joshphinney9454 Rob is better singer than Ozzy technically , just like Ronnie james Dio.
yeah, well, what do you expect from a god?

70 years old this guy still kicking ass and taking names screaming his ass off .PAINKILLER sounds totally AWESOME!! PAAAIIIINNNNNNNN
He is not human!
I can’t believe that a 70yo can do this. Rob is a freak of nature. What a legendary band.
It's amazing to be able to achieve such a high level of vocal performance at 70
Best rob has sounded in ages tbh
70 years old & Rob's still got it; God bless the Metal God.
He could sing that with a lower tone, nobody would mind and would still sound good - but NOPE, the Metal God still goes all out to reach that old high lol
@@user-dm8il9ew9t Amen 🙏

@@dantreadwell7421 Going on 71 (his birthday is August 25) and the Metal Gods's still got it.
@@MichaelD8393 Damn
At 70 years old, Rob is still an absolute vocal beast.
Honestly it’s hilarious how at 5:45 Rob just starts waking around in a literal circle.
Concentration
Preparing the metal whirlwind. 🤘
rob is amazing, not even Axel Rose being 10 years younger can sing his songs like that
Massive respect to Rob, no doubt... but those guitarists absolutely NAIL this!! Epic.
How does this 70 year old metal God still got it after all these years?! God bless Rob Halford, we are lucky we still have him! 🤘😎🤘
Saw them in San Antonio.
The hardest I’ve ever headbanged. I’m surprised my head stayed on my neck and didn’t go flying across the stadium.
One of the few Decent lives of Painkiller since Rob rejoined the band in '04. Bravo
this man vocal chords must be tougher than freaking steal wtf
Amazing solo, bravo Richie!
I love Judas Priest, but every time Rob bends over to hit the high notes, I just can't get out of mind that he's filling his Depends to get there....just my twisted mind....but i'll be there in 15-20 years...hail Priest.

Slayer: Reign in Blood
Metallica: Master of Puppets
Priest: That's cute
Honestly though
I love how Painkiller was kinda like a fuck you to the thrash bands in a way haha. They pushed the limits of heavy metal with that album.
Rob halford is like a heavy metal santa!
“Age is just a number”
- Rob probably
Definitely don’t take it out of context
Everybody talking about rob.... this is the song richie was playting when his heart ruptured-
Huge respect for these guys
I’m not even that much of a Judas Priest fan, but if they can still perform with this amount of energy AND still put out music of similar caliber, they have my respect wholeheartedly
70 years.. Hard but rob still make it.. Awsome
You don't earn the title of "Metal God" without having the chops to back it up. This is living proof of that
Rob is still kicking ass! I had no idea!
Amazing band
Пожелаем здоровья дедушке этому. Я вырос на его песнях
Здоровья деду!
The most metal song ever. If you look in the Websters Dictionary under heavy metal it should say see:: "Pain Killer "
One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen
I'm going to see them in a couple of weeks. It's going to be AWESOME!
how was it?
@@rikoflishasThe best show I have ever seen!
I'll see them in three weeks. I'm very excited.
Thanks for this vid and MASSIVE respect to the Priest!
I love how for years now Scot introduce crowd in Paiinkiller whit "One more time" or "What" and Rob walking across the stage,bossing
That was awesome.
'metal god' is stil alive!
respect forever!
Madden introduced me to this song and I never left 😂
Solo on point 🤙🏽
Unfreakinbelievable 🤯
What amazing Energy AND love for music!!! Rob AND JP thank you so much for all this Heavy Metal Time!! 50 years AND More!!! Glads for everyone from Mérida Yucatán México 🌟🇲🇽
Wow, Rob is still awesome!
Amazing!!!!

Awesome! Wish I’d seen them live in my lifetime
Legendary band!!!

Espectacular
그들이 있어 2022년의 지구는 여전히 안전하다.
The really metal gods Is still Alive 💯🔥
Would have loved to see this. Seen him in Portland Oregon a few years ago and I aint even sure who was playing for him. Didnt get to hear him hit his high notes even one time.
Everybody is talking about Rob, but how can you not talk about Ritchie's flawless rendition of the solo?
Perfeito

That is a hell off a show with two cool bands.
Shes old Man but she have style young man...Amazing🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
On a good night, Rob is still better at what he does than anybody else.
Lowell Mass April 4. Can’t wait!!
wow !!!
No auto tune?? This is outrageous.
There's some help in the processing chain for his vocals these days. Nothing to be ashamed of - he's 72 now.
April 2nd cannot come fast enough!!! These guys sound awesome!!!!
That was a hella show!
and hell of playback
Wow rob is amazing, great job bobby boi, cant wait to see u perform for rnrhof with kk and glenn

#bucketlist
@3:10 - Rob's death growl!
Clamoroso
Chuck Schuldiner is smiling from Heaven seeing this. 🤘🤘🤘
joder de hecho canta mejor painkiller en 2022 que en 1991
True👍
2023
Halford no es humano, me nombran alguien con 70 años que se atreba a cantar este temazo?
I didn't know Barry Manilow's brother played drums! awesome!
dude is in his 70s and can still scream like that???
Будь здоров деда)
Fukn Garden Gnome of metal
Dang! We are next! San Antonio!!
When I gotta see them

did he say judas priest and queensryche?
6:12 Rob hit that
Was this already a key or 2 lower lower than the original?
Yes, it is, mainly so that Rob can still hit the high notes. He is very passionate about that. Most metal bands play a key or two down when touring anyways to go easy on the vocalist
Yes. Manowar, Twisted Sister, Europe, and many other old-school metal bands do that.
Iron Maiden is one of the only ones who still play in "E standard" tuning.
How is he singing even better than he was in 2005?
Yupz bro
At some point he decided to train his voice :)
@@pehache2 well done halford
That last pain.... he really pushed that one and sort of redeemed himself because he didn't hold the previous ones and the long notes either. But the last one resurrected (see what I did there?) the old Rob.
Hey truthsurge!
It's great that Rob is singing so well recently.
@@Mitch93 Well If a person can sing metal tunes into their seventies then they're doing really well Bruce Dickinson is another one that's still able to hit a lot of those notes
The fit bit was getting a workout that night...
I'm guessing at least 7,000 steps 🚶♀️
I'm watching this, and I'm glad he's still going, but, I don't think Rob Halford's having that much fun anymore... either that, or if that was the last song on the set, he looked -DONE-

Yeah..last tune apparently..must be tired..70 yrs old..Dam..
He always crouches for this song. It's easily the hardest one for him to do at his age. Needs to concentrate.
I wonder if Rob would prefer to have Painkiller earlier in the setlist? Or if he likes having it toward the end of the show better.
When you look up "heavy metal music" in the official Merriam Webster dictionary it should say : see - Judas Priest- "Pain Killer"
Father Christmas
who's here after judas priest taking ozzy's place for power trip festival?
Who else can do that at 25?????
porque el villano de Iron Man 1 está cantando como el mago babidi?
Ok where is Rob's head tattoo?
It's there, but the tattoo is old 😅
Richie is exceptional, but i dont like his verson of kks ending solo bit
Totally agree, he's great player, but not the real priest wave. Sorry, but its like this
i can imagine how much $ in leather rob has
This just make vince neil looks sooo bad😂 rob is like 10yers older still kills it
This is why Rob is the Metal God, kids.
ипать Дед уже старый ) нагнулся жестка)))))))
normally richie butchers the hell out of the solo but he actually nailed it this time nice
Maybe it's because he is playing it in front of the man who recorded it.
