Judas Priest- Beyond the Realms of Death

[@colmhain]

Rob Halford is an amazing singer. He still has the high and falsetto ranges, but his depth has strengthened with age.

[@getaway3851]

Inhuman Vocals

[@saschaschneider6355]

I've seen him live in 2018 and while he still is able to do his high pitched screams it doesn't seem like it's coming as easily to him as it used to. There were moments where he literally took a step back after one. Those seem to take a lot out of him these days. Which isn't that surprising, he's pushing 70

[@Nissardpertugiu]

But its not falsetto at all

[@saschaschneider6355]

@@Nissardpertugiu you might want to look up what "Falsetto" means

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@saschaschneider6355 falsetto is a variety of headvoice when the sound is airy and the folds don't vibrate Its like King diamond . What Halford , Coverdale etc... are doing is Mixed voice with High larynx technique . When your voice is connected and have full sound chest support low to high without break isnt Falsetto . I don't need to see the definition , i can sing like this . And no in my wildest dreams i do Falsetto .

[@ebw7060]

My favorite Priest tune.

[@EattheApple666]

KK Downing first solo Glenn Tipton second solo one of the best duo's ever.

[@waynestumbo2408]

yep/ both excellent

[@mish91]

I have only heard one song by them, this was rad! That solo!!!!!!! And when his vocals get soft toned was sooooo nice.

[@mish91]

Jacques Malan Thank you, I will!

[@mr.metalhead8863]

Omg - yes. Great list. Alone and also Death from the Nostradamus album are great. I would add: Freewheel Burning Dreamer Deceiver Sinner Delivering the Goods Anything on the Painkiller album Here Comes the Tears Desert Plains Turbo Lover Heavy Metal Halls of Valhalla Firepower Honestly, it’s impossible to give anyone 5 next songs for JP - they have that many...?

[@mish91]

Mr. Metalhead oooo Thank you!!! I’ll look those up too! All for new tunes!!

[@matthewhoag2609]

Got to see them live twice. Halford can totally nail it live. Quite impressive. He road a motorcycle up on stage. Downing and Tipton are a great guitar duo. Part of that British metal invasion that influenced a lot of music here in the US during the 80’s.

[@getaway3851]

My first Priest record back in 1976 (around 20 years old by those days), this song is a fusion of two songs. Priest is on their 50th Anniversary and is a never endig trip of good music. Maybe You must check them since '70 to these days. Thanks for reacting to this Legendary song.

[@andreijonov8970]

The Sentinel (Live fuel for life '86)

[@paulm.5979]

Nice reaction- The metal gods, the group that put metal into heavy metal. 18 albums of metal bliss. This album was a huge landmark for metal. You need to listen to Painkiller next to see them at their extremes. So much to listen to. I do think you need to listen to some live stuff- The Sentinel- 86 Fuel for life tour, Sinner- 82 live Vengeance tour, see Halford's raw power.

[@shaneherian3638]

The entire band is so incredibly talented. They Rock

[@nwmonk3105]

My son, it is so amusing to see someone so young reacting to a song so old. Even if he was your age while recording it - I humbly suggest returning to this song some 30 years later in your life and you will understand everything.

[@DarwinsChihuahua]

Saw them play this live last year. Still one of my favorite bands.

[@OstIAUnAsEtA]

Great review and reacción. Judas Priest is one of the most underrated bands of the history. They are the metal themself, they construct the base for all the bands that they came later. And still today they do masterpieces that do that the other and newest band sound like childs plating with guitars. Their last álbum, FirePower is the BEST example of It. Please, check Traitor's Gate from the same álbum. 70 years old guitar and singer, remember.

[@petemartinez6717]

I wouldn’t ever say they were underrated, they were Huuuuuge in the 80’s, what are you talking about?

[@bonzo713]

Priest...THE SENTINEL!!!

[@davidsonchris737]

Check out, From the same album, The Ripper, and Dreamer deceiver😊👍👌👍😊💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@michaelbond7096]

Great reaction. I really enjoyed how took your time to actually listen . Just watching your face told me you enjoyed it. My next suggestion would be "Painkiller" the very definition of Metal! To quote many others about heavy metal " Black Sabbath made it heavy, Judas Priest made it metal!" .

[@basiliomartinez2116]

Freewheel burning , You got another thing coming, painkiller and on and on and on !!

[@deathrotor]

fun fact this song was originally called "whisky woman" and was written in 1969, but was released in 1976 after getting optimised and added to in the storyline of the song, thats what i liked about pre 1980's preist is that they took their time with all of their songs which made all of their songs amazing until well they became commercialised, but after the 80's they do have some amazings songs dont get me wrong but they will ne ver reach this level

[@TonyTheBassPlayer1]

This was when Robby was all high range and bluesy wails and though I really love this album and RockaRolla he got so much better a few years later. His control became off the charts. And his diction is fucking perfect.

[@raydotzler9117]

Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Arena guitar solo is insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MetalED]

It's probably been about 20 years since I heard this song. Whatta great tune,makes me realize how I need to incorporate more Priest into the rotation. Great vid as always!

[@russellmorgan5611]

Lots of trem arm action in the "crying" solo. Another technique to marvel at. See Jeff Beck.

[@cosmicman621]

...it almost sound like the guitar was cryin’...moanin’...KK ⚡️🌹🔥

[@robertkaplan848]

Check out Priest at the US festival, Electric Eye it will blow your mind!

[@robertghanem107]

Beyond the realms of death...

[@Alguear]

Priest have many facets. Try The Sentinel (1984).

[@donmcknight5273]

You need to go on a priest journey. They evolved more than any band in metal. Go to dissident aggressor, beyond Realms of Death, Rapid fire, then Electric eye, The stntinal, painkiller, then Judas is rising. They went from blues riffs to start speed metal. They have killed it for almost 50 years.

[@robschultz1963]

This needs to be from Unleashed in the East.

[@robertkaplan848]

Halford the one and only Metal God!

[@johnnyr8737]

finally someone who understands the deepness of this track

[@ThomasJ_Music]

Thanks man!

[@saschaschneider6355]

Some people call this part of Priest's career the "Blues metal phase", back when you already could hear that this was a metal band (although that category didn't really exist yet) but there were still strong Blues "undercurrents". Great ear btw! As for Rob Halford, he's definitely my favorite (male) vocalist alive. Great range, great versatility, very creative use of his voice - he easily switches back and forth between being a complete metal badass and transporting a lot of emotion and sensitivity. Always gives his all. Not saying he's the best there is, just the one I enjoy the most. If you want a full dose of badass Rob, try Blood Red Skies or (maybe the most metal song of all time) Painkiller. If you'd like a bit more of Rob's softer side, Here Come The Tears comes to mind, or Dreamer Deciever/Deceiver.

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

Don't drink wine while listening...it will shatter your glass! 😜

[@siegmundfuchsbrugger1365]

Thank you for this video

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

I am so glad you listened to the studio version first. Now you can better appreciate the live versions by having them to compare. I liked your take on the lyrics of the song, pretty much what I thought myself. When you mentioned the "growling" at the end of the song, like he was fighting alcohol again, it makes the final 3 "NO!"s and the last scream more poignant, doesn't it?

[@ThomasJ_Music]

Yes! It’s little things like this that add so much to a song!

[@robertkaplan848]

If you like distorted guitar, anything from Neil Young,and Crazy horse,I would start with Crime In The City live,I was there 3rd row at The LA sports arena,The grandfather of grunge!

[@johnroberts1009]

They do a cover of Johnny Be Good that I could listen to everyday and not get tired of their take on it. Give it a go !!!

[@uaripple]

It's time for "The Sentinel" & "Painkiller"

[@manuelr.5558]

Please watch the live version of this its much heavier😍

[@RobertErnestLewis]

Probably the least Bluesy guitar work on the album. This was a jump into the Heavy Metal that Priest would stamp on the world.

[@bigstevebeer]

Epic !

[@robertkaplan848]

THAT'S WHAT IN TALKING ABOUT!

[@robertkaplan848]

You know in knew to your channel,what music do you like most?I'm a guy that worked on the sunset strip in Hollywood back in the early 80s,I'm all about Rock but don't tell anybody I like soft rock to like the carpenters,and Jim Croce! Only thing is if you like Rap I'm not your guy,years ago I'm going to Vegas,my friend puts a Rap tape in my player,I took it out and through it out the window,it's somewhere in Barstow buried in the desert! lol.

[@robertkaplan848]

Hey man,how about some Guns and Roses or some Supertramp or ELO,can't leave Boston out!

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

He got rid of alcohol 11 years later in 1986.

[@Quarthon]

Please react to my favorite Canadian punk band, Propagandhi - Coaches Corner. Its a political song about Don Cherry from Hockey Night In Canada. Who was recently fired unjustly from his job of 35 years.

[@TrevRockOne]

Such a great, iconic song. The band were still a bit wet behind the ears, but that's no detriment.

[@Rodrigo-se3ni]

Please reaction to "Tren al sur" of Los Prisioneros, you will love this song really

[@steadyeddie639]

KK Downing ,LEGEND

[@ChueyOrtiz]

Judas Priest - Rock Hard, Ride Free watch the fan made music video 🤪

[@terrydevaney8601]

Do the live version.. Unlesh in the east.. heavier

[@johnroberts1009]

Johnny B. Goode. Now I can spell.

[@0tungsten0]

It's not an alcohol metaphor. He's singing about an actual woman.

[@Cl4rendon]

It`s actually an Al Atkins song ( The first Priest vocallist) - But Rob sings it waaayyy better! Al`s version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfLqmycpd1mbck

[@yvonnejaime1266]

Hi there PLEASE listen to two songs Keeper Of The Seven Keys and Hocus Pocus by Helloween. You'll love it!

[@ThomasJ_Music]

Thank you! I’ll put them on the suggestions list

[@kostastatsis3163]

Arch enemy - war eternal... I'll say no more

[@colmhain]

Suicidal Tendencies' "You Can't Bring Me Down".....dude, you won't regret it. Not the Vevo video......

[@JimmyRJump]

Never been too keen on this song, for some reason. Too much a story of not knowing which leg to stand on. Just like the first two albums, really (Rocka Rolla and this one). Judas Priest came into their stride starting with their third effort "Sin After Sin" (1977). Funny enough, the first two albums have mostly songs co-written by Al Atkins, their first singer who got sacked before the actual recording of the first album. Singer Robert Halford's sister was dating Ian Hill, the bass player and Rob was in the band in the blink of an eye. Halford had a vocal reach of about six octaves in his prime but by the early eighties his voice started to deteriorate because of too much screaming. Rob's going on seventy now and has remarkably recovered some of his high pitch abilities. There's not too many footage available from the early days, because of them being, well, early. Best stuff I could find is from the 1978 Live In Japan TV show which has a scorching rendition of "Beyond The Realms Of Death" from the "Stained Class" album of the same year. Cheerio.

[@Fred_P]

I kind of agree with you that they came into their stride with Sin After Sin, but Sad Wings of Destiny is lightyears ahead of Rocka Rolla imho. Their performance of Victim of Changes on Unleashed in the East is amazing, it's the same song but with the sound they gathered from Sin After Sin through Killing Machine (Hell Bent for Leather). Having Les Binks on drums made a huge difference as well.

[@peterbozich4433]

Interesting information about Halford coming into the band, amazing song though

Van Halen nearly made it for next week’s themed week! Missed out by maybe 2 votes! You were gonna get a whole of week of him! He is definitely someone I need to get to!

One of the many disgusting Judas Priest songs
