Judas Priest

You mean this one? This is the artwork for Gates of Hell. I've just checked my copy of the album.

At £45, Priest's current tour t-shirts are more expensive than Maiden's.

Hopefully an isolated incident, but if you watch the first verse Rob is very obviously using tracked vocals.

Now that's bizarre. From the clip I watched of the start of the show, he was singing the intro to All Guns Blazing on top of a vocal track of the intro, that I was more understanding of.

Yeah, the backing vocals were clearly too loud in the mix during Painkiller. Rob's still singing tho, listen to the screams in the song. They do not sound too good.

Oh dear, how the mighty have fallen.

Let’s not overstate. Layered vocals live is common.

Not for Brucie, who also does not need downtuning.

Bruce needs downtuning about as much as Rob. Rob just has the sense to actually downtune.

Bruce dont need layered vocals, he have Steve as backup.

Pretty good.

Hmm, I actually prefer Ripper’s voice—much more than the one on the Armored Saint version.

I truly, on a molecular level, on a spiritual level, do not understand how anyone could prefer Ripper's voice to.....pretty much anyone.

To my ears, he really fits KK’s Priest vocally. That highly controlled shrieking—it works. In the context of Judas Priest, I actually like it. He kicks ass, imo.

 

[Donner]

All Ripper really has are the screams. I've always found his "regular" singing voice extremely off-putting. Not every song needs a high pitched wail.

 

[Kalata]

I'm not a fan of the debut album or this song, but the modern production gives it the necessary power. Ripper's vocals fit (overall, for a certain style/approach of metal). They made the song feel like it is a KK Priest one. They would probably play it live. KK made the solo to shine more.

Is this a one-off release?
