John belongs in rock hall of fame! One of my favorite singers.

John was 65 years old when that video was made and he was kicking ass and taking no prisoners. And he's now 70, and still sounds so damn amazing. He doesn't even look that old. What an amazing and talented artist.

Ya know what the real shame is that modern "classic" rock stations don't play any of this mans life work. It has been 20 years in most of the major radio markets I've lived in. These songs are "life anthems" of my 58 years in this world. The youth of today would do well to hear the music and listen to the words of wisdom that John has delivered. The Rock and Roll hall of shame is missing many great performers, and John is one of them.

@tjrox5 жыл бұрын
Only thing wrong is no Keyboards and marginal back up vocals. I wanna hear back on my feet again with 4 part vocals, not the 2 part I hear. Unfortunately it costs more for a extra guy. By the way, that's a triple Les Paul presence as the Bass is one as well.

A few thoughts here: he sounds awesome! Not sure why the guitarist on the left and bassist look like they’re stuck in the 80’s although John has updated his look? Also, do the guitarists trade lead and rhythm on Change?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS APPROACH VOCALLY ON THIS LIVE VERSION OF CHANGE .LOWER THE VOLUME AND STAY IN THE POCKET AND ON KEY . STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE SINGERS . JUST DEVIATES TOO MUCH FROM WHAT I'M USE TO HEARING . HE IS ONE OF THE GREATS .
@rickr20294 жыл бұрын
I noticed that too. Songs are arranged to fit his more mature voice. I think his Bad English days were the most difficult stuff to sing. Very good voice but without the high notes. Let's be honest here and he is one of my very favorite Vocalist's.

1. Not in studio 2. Age You have to adjust to the road as well. Halford can't hit all the high notes like the old days. Neither can Pat Benatar, but they are still touring. That's part of the joy seeing them live . . . It's NOT like the studio 😉
