[@johanjof5613]

On my side on the contrary, sadly it is more of a disappointment. Not that I blame Rob... Man... he is old, he should not sing that specific song. For me all the chills comes from these constant alternates between lows and highs in the original album version. The first time I listened to the introduction of this song, heard this very soft low end voice, for half a verse, and then pop out his huge crystal high pitch voice in the other half of the verse. I was kinda wooooo... I think it was the first time I could hear an angel sing in a metal band. I do not dare to take a a look at how he would sing painkiller nowadays, it would break my dreams. Damn, aging is rough, on me included ^^

[@YouTube-tied]

His intro vocals are amazing, spine chilling. He can’t hit the notes he did when they recorded this in ‘87-88, so he instead goes into his lower arsenal and man, what a performance. Proves again why he’s the Metal God.

[@moderndayheretic]

Honestly he gets pretty damn close to the same highs as in the recorded version. I think the notes here are F5 (at least E5) and the ones in the studio are G5 or maybe A5 at the highest. So basically the same. He’s one of the best singers ever.
