Judas Priest - Diamonds And Rust ACOUSTIC !!

Great Judas cover!

[@RobertTheGr8]

Rob is such an amazing vocalist. check out the depth this guy has, can sing ANYTHING, melody, screaming, slow, fast, this dude is the ultimate vocalist

[@dennyshoopman4397]

He's the METAL GOD!!!

[@TurquiseSin]

The important thing is that he's not trying to pretend that nothing has changed and sing in the same way. He re-arranges the old songs a little bit, so they still sound awesome! That's the real artist, who knows his possibilites!

[@dino.manzella]

Agreed!

I'm crying like a 13 yr old girl. That was beautiful

The love of my life passed tonight, this was her favorite song. There is a big hole in the world tonight. She made the world a better place. Death Be Not Proud

[@billygalliher3341]

She will always be....

My mother loved this as do I...she is with your love in heaven.

I'm sorry for your loss,brother...but she lives forever,in your memories...Our dead,are not trully dead,unless we forget them...I know the pain,I've lost so many beloved ones...family,friends...Death,be not proud...

[@chadpittman3025]

The way they are, all of them ,so emotionally involved in the performance makes this version so above and beyond.

[@zeem3366]

I love this man, my lord he has the voice of a heavy metal angel

[@Farweasel]

Not to mention that he also has the ears of an Elf or an Imp or something ;-p (Sorry Rob)

[@Galand-ud9sj]

[@markgowans]

Imo Ronnie James Dio was the best singer in metal. That man could sing anything. Now that he's left us the title of best singer in metal definitely has to go to Rob. He too can sing anything.

[@mynameislove7605]

Sam Mac My favorite metal god since my teenage days and always will be!!!

[@robgraves7081]

Nicely put!!

[@attilaezsias2464]

Utter shock! I live on 5th floor, the chill along my spine went all the way to the basement. I was lucky enough to hear it live in 2004, and all you saw was dropped jaws in the crowd and I swear to God this song (and Touch of Evil and Beyond the Realms) hit all of us so hard we couldn't even sing. Seriously, and you could see big tough men shed tears and stuff, that was unreal!

[@MikeInMD1961]

I first saw Priest in July 1980 at the Towson Center in Maryland. Three friends camped out overnight for tickets, and we owned the front row. One of countless times I've seen them since and they've never disappointed. So grateful to have seen this line-up in their prime.

[@brucebotterweck7959]

It is difficult to say what my favorite Judas Priest song is because they have so many that I adore...but this one is always in consideration. What an amazing band.

[@xrey9739]

awesome cover of the haunting 1975 Joan Baez acoustic hit. Even Joan was shocked and flattered that Rob Halford covered her song about her early 60's relationship with Bob Dylan. Judas Priest takes this very personal song up another level and proves a great song is forever, no matter who performs it.

[@yiannisserpico2646]

The great song lasts forever. You're totally correct!

[@briankeightly3361]

I bought Judas priest unleashed in the east , I was in a record store, I looked at the cover and bought it ,and it blew me away , my favorite songs are diamonds and rust and green manalishi.

[@Petfann]

I hear this song over and over again and never got tired of it.

[@lorettamurzin3966]

Judas Priest is my favorite band of all time Rob Halford's voice is just amazing and we he sings with the band mates it is a unbelievable experience.

[@jackpurviance3844]

I first discovered this video about 6 months ago and have been haunted ever since. Rarely does a day go by that I don't watch it. I still get chill bumps when I listen to it. Rob's voice is perfect for this song.

[@kngrc7272]

I love the original version, I love the Priest version, I love the Priest's Instrumental version, and now I love this version. Wow, so much things to love for a man that hates everything in world :)

[@leonardbonitt3586]

They took one of my favorite songs And made me like it even more.

[@LastCallAgain]

I don't care what anyone else says. Without THESE 3 together... it just ain't Judas Priest.

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

After all those years, all those tours and the age of Rob.. I mean this guy still have an extraordinary voice. Extraordinary with all the letters!!

Just got done listening to Diamonds and Rust from Joan Baez this morning. What an honor to hear them do this acoustic. High five for getting into the "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" this year.

[@zg1000dru1]

You can say that Freddie Mercury had the best singers voice or our lifetime and that Plant or Paul Rodgers was the quintessential rock singer, but Halford is hands down the greatest metal singer bar none.

[@michaelsnelling9875]

Tasmar Vanderweghe yes

[@michaelsnelling9875]

Yes

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

Freddie Mercury singing this would be very interesting indeed.

[@thaler67]

Considering JP more or less invented modern heaven metal, it is not a surprise.

[@RixHoffman]

@@thaler67 Why modern ? They are the first band who have played what we call Heavy Metal, there was no metal before them, so it is not modern ^^

[@myronens228]

one of the best bands to ever exist. I wished we could go back in time and keep them young, but alas, they have retired. I grew up with them, I love them, one of the best front men ever to exist, the sound with rob halford was just so incredible. I have all their albums, and wished I had the first versions I'd bought back in the day, I've worn a few out over the years.

[@CarefulWithThatAxeEugene92]

Man I remember my old man showing me this and he started thinking about how this was him and my moms song and just started balling from the sound of halford no one like him my dad passed back in June and I will forever cherish this song

[@sammorganmusic]

Rob is amazing... singers like him and Dio are able to just reach inside you and comfort a part of you nothing and noone else can, or inspire you and invigorate you more than anything other thing. Thank God for em, they are true heroes in their own way, I'm not sure where me and countless others would be without legends like Rob.

[@robertrussell5948]

This is a true tear jerker for me 😢😢😢. No one like this group ever.

[@phil1065]

Fuck. Yes. Goosebumps and tears. Best ever ladies and gentlemen.

[@horaciochapa1682]

[@jonginder5494]

This is an amazing song and performance. I recon Rob Halford could sing a song about paint drying and grass growing and it would be amazing.

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

This 62 year old LOVES this version....😊🇨🇦

[@dino.manzella]

Yes, the acoustic version is much more emotional.

[@mjp96]

man what a great performance and a timeless classic by Joan Baez!

[@peggypenguin4268]

There are very few rock/metal singers God has blessed with the vocals of a metal Angel and Rob is one!!! Priest is AWESOME in concert!!! Rock on!!! 🐧🐧

Wow....this is the First time I’ve heard this done acoustically, but it won’t be the last. Those guitars! That voice! Oh My Goodness....... 😍🥰😍🥰

[@xander4301]

without Rob Halford...I wouldn't have 5 guitars, a keyboard, and a recording system.He is my inspiration for heavy metal & acoustic melodies. THANK YOU ALL MIGHTY METAL GODS.

Its good to see that Judas Priest are finally receiving the respect they deserve for their awesome talent.

[@herballover1660]

But if you are offering me diamonds and rust, ive already paid. Pure pain and pure love in that song

[@cookiemcbride4780]

Rob, Kk, Glen, Ian... I am one of your earliest US fans dating back to 1974 or 1975. You not only made a few songs your own, you made metal your own in ways that will never be equaled. Unique is a shallow word, but all I have in this moment.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

[@odog5183]

Excellent version. Always loved Judas Priest as they are one of best metal bands ever and it takes me back to my teenage years - such great memories.

[@johnp8815]

acoustic version is still heavier and more rockin then anything Nickleback has done!

[@guyfawkes9951]

Rob's screaming metal voice is fantastic but I'm always happiest and most impressed when he sings in his lower register.

[@lifeisgoid]

HERE IS THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG"DIAMONDS AND RUST" Joan Baez revealed to The Huffington Post that she wrote this song after Bob Dylan called her from a phone booth and sang her the lyrics to his song "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts." Baez said that this gave her inspiration to write "Diamonds & Rust," and that she lied to Dylan, telling him it was about David Harris, who she was married to from 1968-1973. Bob Dylan rarely reveals much about his songs, but his track "Queen Jane Approximately" is most likely his take on his relationship with Baez.

[@bassesatta9235]

mike11pisano it aint me babe (i think thats what its called) is about joan

[@sparkynm156]

Rob Halford has absolutely poured his Soul out and bound it with Diamonds and Rust truly creating a version of this song that in my mind, made it this Timeless song in the form it was always destined to become. That being said... and years ago I couldn't comprehend that I would actually say the following ... but.... Ripper Owens on Live in London... Granted he is covering Halford's version more or less... Ripper nailed it... and the closing Scream/ Note/ inflection had the hair on my body standing on end , totally electrified with tears welling up in my eyes and breaking free down my cheeks... so Lamentingly sorrowful, such loss... my words do no justice but Ripper really poured his Soul out and I would almost dare to wonder what experience in life he was drawing from to release that emotional palllet with the song.. Rob Halford , is an amazing singer, the True Metal God that has had a massive effect on my life.. Ripper Owens was a great singer to fill Judas Priest's time while Halford took time after the Epic Metal Album that is PAINKILLER, to deliver us TWO, FIGHT, HALFORD, PANTERA - Light comes out of Black.. and many other amazing works.. Rippers Priest is a group of works that absolutely hold their own in my book and I am beyond happy that he did... Halford , DIO, GEOFF TATE, WARREL DANE, BRUCE DICKINSON, JON OLIVIA, and a few others are such incredible singers with such amazing content in their music. Don't read the rest unless you will read the first part again before leaving. that it sickens me when I have to hear the cRap they shove in our faces with every movie, tv show, dumbass at the stoplights with their trunk rattling with the same repetitive beat vomiting the same mindless nursery rhyme about smacking der bitch up and makin it rain in da club wit da bub getin wit yor boyeeezz gurl cuz he ain't taken care of hiz and I gotstzta getz mine... There's I another shit song missing one word that is repeated 100 times over that I won't say... plus all the yeah uh huh yeah yeah uh uh s...

[@gazrees872]

absolutely awesome. Good song, and Halford sings exceptionally!

[@MrJimbaker920]

WOW! just WOW !! This was just incredible.I had heard they did a Joan Baez song but never thought they could pull it off,let alone take it to a whole other level by doing it acoustically.

[@omeroz2752]

Here is the lyrics I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Now I see you standing all around and snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes on white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Don't want no more diamonds, diamonds and rust

A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well, you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes, the girl on the half-shell Could keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling all around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid
