Judas Priest "Dreamer Deceiver / Deceiver" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

We've gone from "Painkiller" in my first taste of Judas Priest, to "Victim of Changes". Now, we get Rob Halfords entire vocal range in "Dreamer Deceiver / Deceiver", and I understand the full breadth of what you all have been clamoring for. And yes! This video was recorded before I went to see him at Bloodstock, so I truly understood what I was getting myself into!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Judas Priest performing "Dreamer Deceiver / Deceiver” for the first time.

After being dashed against the rocks by Painkiller's intensity, and swept about by the dynamics of Victim of Changes, you will now find yourself gently sailing through the relatively tranquil waters of the Metal God's softer, more emotive side.

@@The_Enzo To be fair, Painkiller is probably better suited to discussing hammering drum insanity, or solos that accelerate like anti tank rockets, and possibly the ability of the human voice to shatter glass or sustain an ear bleed pitch for longer than most people could hold their breath if their life depended on it. I guess, in short, Painkiller is a good one to witness and discuss the extreme end of Priest ability rather than the width and depth of it. :)

Anytime there's a video where some guitar player asks the viewers who is your favorite guitar player, you'll rarely see anybody mention glenn tipton. Judas Priest is one of the most important metal bands ever, but people always think of Tipton as an afterthought than realizing in the moment "damn, he really is one of the best guitar players in metal"

[@polishpimp4233]

@@mybluguitar6051 keep in mind he alternates with kk downing switching leads and what not. Anyone that is not an idiot knows these 2 are bad ass.

[@Robert-hz7ef]

A few people have recommended listening to the studio version of these two songs and I have to agree. It’s just a lot more refined with better mixing, no feedback and more relaxed. You’ll also hear the additional flourishes of Rob’s overdubbed harmonies which of course can’t be replicated on this live recording. Apart from deeper tonality in his voice on the first verse you also get a better appreciation of his shifting from low, medium and upper ranges with each verse of the studio version. Another song to listen to is Stained Class from the self titled album Stained Class. Rob’s vocals is like a yo-yo constantly swapping between med and upper registers throughout the song. Here’s a live version he did during his solo stint with his band Fight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKrPi2p5fqdpmbM

[@jiantjingerjohn]

Wholeheartedly agree on the studio versions of these songs, also Stained Class is one of my favourite Priest songs and it's so overlooked.

[@sheets75]

The studio version is wonderful, but I suspect live performances are probably of more interest to a singer because there's nowhere to "hide" in a live performance and no retakes. You have to nail the song as best you can in one performance, and you also have to account for endurance when it comes to lengthy concerts.

[@copperlobo2536]

I won't be as nice.... that live version is crap and I don't think it was JP fault. Horrible setting and recording.

[@mikegar2118]

Agree on all points ! And YES Stained Class !! Yes yes yes

[@davin6175]

Yeah, when she reacted to Painkiller, I suggested this as something that demonstrated more of his full range. But I was practically begging for her to react to the studio version rather than this. She is always so kind, and never has anything bad to say, but there are so many things in this performance that are inferior to the studio recording. Obviously, this is a pre-release performance. But starting from the feedback in the beginning probably rattling him, he had pitches that were sharp and flat. I wonder if he could hear himself OK? Otherwise I just think his choices were better and more interesting in the studio, and with a little more time he brought more confidence, power and better judgement to the song. It's interesting to hear that Tipton's solo was pretty well worked out as we know it already, and Downing's was about halfway there. Halford was also about halfway there, but he was still searching, experimenting to find where he wanted to go. Unfortunately, in this case, not using the original studio version may have been wiser than usual. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Priest STILL don't have the rights to the first two Gull Records albums. They have been complete A-holes for decades. So if anyone was going to bring copyright strikes to KZbin, it would probably be someone like Gull Records. Elizabeth does have legit reasons to want to try and use a video version to pick up on visual clues to how singer produce their tone, but sometimes the videos that are available may not do the original justice, or may be quite different, as I feel was the case here. At least some of the same elements were here. But Halford just doesn't seem to know exactly what he wants to do here. He has a broad stroke map, but the details aren't decided on which brings an uncharacteristic insecurity to his performance. Once he finds a note and the choice is made, he puts some power and character behind it, and stares a hole through the cameraman 😆! I just think the reason we are recommending this song is not as evident, and what she is seeing and hearing is not what a Priest fan has in their head when they suggest it. In the end though, I am glad it was chosen. This, Victim of Changes (naturally, and it also was picked), Sinner or The Sentinel I think were my suggestions.

[@dudarino666]

Sad wings of destiny is one of those amazing albums from start to finish. One suggestion. Check out album versions. He hits such amazing notes. Does amazing harmonies with his vocals. "Epitaph" is a haunting beautiful song off that album when you can hear him channeling Freddie Mercury and Elton John inspirations. The album versions are where it's at. Live versions are cool to see analysis of. But album versions are where the magic is.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

​@@AmericanNationalist852Absolutely not true. Tim owens can do it as can Vitas and Dani filth with a mind blowing 5 octave vocal range.

[@Jaquass]

This song is about the realisation that the hippy dream and lifestyle of the 1970s was a lie based around drug and alcohol consumption and "Free love". The first part is "Dreamer" it is describing the naive assumption of the hippys that these things were changing lives in a positive way, that flower power ideal made a difference to the world. The second part "Deceiver" is a turning point in the song, it gets a lot angrier and is about waking up to the fact that although these things felt good at the time, they were deceiving themselves into thinking they were changing anything in the world. Theres mention of nuclear bombs and references to war nearing the end of the song, this is Judas Priest saying, just because we forgot about the evils in the world, lost in a drug, drink and free love haze and the hippy ideal, the problems of the world had not disappeared, we had just forgotten about them and deceived ourselves into thinking we were really making any difference at all.

[@jamesmccluskey1476]

One Shot At Glory is the best song on Painkiller, it is an absolute classic but it is the third most under-rated song by Judas Priest. The second most under-rated song is Heavy Metal on Ram It Down which is the most under-rated album by Judas Priest. The winner though, and the most under-rated song by Judas Priest IS (drum-roll)... Savage from Stained Class. All these songs have no peer in rock music except for some other songs by Judas Priest like Green Manalishi, You've Got Another Thing Coming, Beyond The Realms Of Death, Dreamer Deceiver and Dissident Aggressor.

Great priest track and also ISLAND OF DOMINATION I believe the first time I sat down to listen seriously over a vinyl album. Impressed she caught the time signature under the intro riff.

[@steffenfurumo1009]

Suggestion: Overkill - Years Of Decay. Very good and different vocalist that has done his magic through the decades.

[@flyingardilla143]

Bobby is definitely underrated

[@ToddPetersen]

Laughing how she stoped it twice just before the unexpected belt in Dreamer Deceiver! 9:35. Excited myself to be seeing them for third time in 2 weeks with sons.

[@bikershark9]

Came to comment the same thing, minus seeing them soon.. Jealous about that part

[@grego7927]

Thx 4 all, Rob.

[@grasshoppertown]

Yes!!! "Beyond the realms of death," for sure!

[@d.aardent9382]

ya should definitely listen to the studio album version, it is complete, it has the full stanzas of lyrics and a much better ,cleaner rendition of Robs vocals and the guitars are clearer and better quality and depth,. of details? minute variation? anyway, its just more powerful to me overall, more quality and polish.

[@Crooked_Unicorn]

Nice work choosing The Old Grey Whistle Check for this live version. Others have mentioned the studio version (YES-YES-YES) with this additional personal take. Put your headphones on and give a listen back to back Rocka-Rolla & Sad Wings of Destiny. I’v always felt there are storylines and thematic elements that are very present and quite operatic in an Epical Saga-esque sense. New subscriber today and huge fan since I saw your first Dio reaction video. 🤟🏼🤘🏼

[@erikpost1381]

24:23 I've always heard that line as '*set* in the cosmos is a single sonic sound', which I find beautiful, and evocative of associations of eternity and god and such. Lifts the whole thing up and makes it sound much more... cosmic. 😵‍💫

[@NinjaKittyBonks]

Glad to see our grl getting appreciation for the Metal God. Grew up on Halford and has a hell of a lot more going on than those golden locks :) EDIT: Would like to see Elizabeth's reaction to "Dying To Meet You" from Rocka-Rolla!

[@dennisfox8673]

Run of the Mill would also be a killer choice.

[@christinacoots544]

Howdy the ma'am, My name is Darryl and I live in Texas. I am a MASSIVE Priest fan and have been for a really long time. If you want to really hear the range of Priest you should really consider doing a reaction of this Judas Priest song JUDAS PRIEST -Diamonds and Rust- (ROB HALFORD). P.S. I absolutely LOVE your show. You have such a fresh and new way to analysis the music and not just randomly react. You actually go into the mechanics of what is going on and explain it to where anyone can understand, keep up the great work please

[@jakubkartolski7329]

And now please, please try Savatage "Morphine Child", or "chance":)

[@bman8366]

Agreed, those are some of my favorites of Savatage!

[@JudgeMeNotLeMans]

What a fantastic showcase of Rob’s incredible range. To all those just discovering Judas Priest Please do yourselves a favor ~Sad Wings of Destiny is one of those albums meant to be listened to from start to finish. To those of us who have been blessed to have enjoyed their talents through the decades from the very beginning, it is wonderful to see a new generation learn of this talent (before autotune and computer dubbing) ABBA to Zeppelin!! Love this!!

[@thomaskelly1299]

You do a really good job. I appreciate your work. Keep your videos coming.

I think he hits a harmonic for one sec. Amazing.7:55

Top 5 favorite performances ;)

[@metalogical5131]

I saw them do "Beyond the Realms of Death" once in the 4 times I saw them... that song and "The Ripper.".... I'll never forget that show.

[@beornthebear.8220]

I didn't like this band when I first heard them. but now I think Halford has one of the widest ranges and most power of the singers I've heard.

[@wraithsong24-7]

Love Judas Priest!!! I would like to suggest another epic metal band, very popular in Europe, MANOWAR, so many great battle songs, mostly Viking origin, one song I think you could get into: Heart of Steel

[@luisnunes3863]

Been asking for that song or Mountains for a while. Seems Elizabeth is leaning to Master of the Wind, and I won't argue with that.

[@saschaoswald480]

Yes! She needs to hear Eric Adams! But which song to choose for her first one....

[@wraithsong24-7]

Other Manowar songs: Call to Arms Hand of Doom Black Wind Fire and Steel Fight Until We Die The Crown and the Ring And about 20 others

[@luisnunes3863]

@@saschaoswald480 Uhmm, since it needs a decent video, the choice narrows a good bit. Heart of Steel, The Crown and the Ring, Battle Hymn, while it's up, Mountains, ditto, Kingdom Come, Metal Warriors, Call to Arms, Courage, not that much more. Warriors of the World doesn't have enough technical stuff for E to sink her teeth in.

[@saschaoswald480]

@@luisnunes3863 yes, you're right! That narrows it down alot! I kind of hope she chooses one of the studio versions, as those are the songs most of us are familiar with and would like to see analyzed. Blood of my Enemies, Guyana, Heart of Steel, Mountains.....

[@neilharrison2218]

Run of the mill or Beyond the realms of death. (the unleashed in the east version) totally jaw dropping.

[@paulhabat6338]

This is when they were a lot younger and working their way up to the world popularity that they eventually became! British television! From the Sad Wings of Destiny album! Probably the most perfect example of vocal range for a rock singer back then

[@christiandieckmann9828]

Nice shirt! ☺ Waitng for the day of your analyses of Manowar's "Kings of Metal" and Eric Adams voice. Or maybe... as vocal coach is "The Crown and the Ring" more interesting for you.

[@marceloma3x]

Hail! yes!!! "The crown and the ring" or my favorite "Gods of war" The voice of Eric, the chorus, the arrangements.... MANOWAR!!

[@joevoolo8532]

The Crown and the Ring would be good or Heart of Steel for not scaring the crap out of the normies. Otherwise I would suggest Dark Avenger.

[@mojorusty]

Have fun at the show! Don’t expect him to hit those notes anymore, but he’s still great. Like a lot have said, you should do Beyond the Realms of Death next. It’s another awesome showcase of his talent.

[@longdark4ever]

It's about time you did this song yay!!!, this is by far the best Halford vocals ever

[@djw84]

No real comments. Just love, love, love. Thank you for doing this one.

I'm seeing Judas Priest on Thursday for the second time. Can't wait

[@crazyleggsjr]

So, with two Rush songs reviewed under my belt, I couldn’t wait for you to hear Judas Priest. I know nothing musically. I now beg you to compare this version with the studio album version. As a lay person, I tell you this old version is , to me, a draft, or beta, or work in progress version. This beautiful song, in the version I’m familiar, has progressed so exponentially over this version that you simply MUST hear the improvements. Dozens of musical moments that make this song memorable are simply NOT in this shinny, new, “safe” rendition. You must hear the difference.

[@albertotamerivera4358]

I recomend listenning to "Fever", from album "Screamming for vengance".

[@mikeclemens795]

I saw Priest's 50th Anniversary tour last night in Charlotte NC. You should absolutely go see this, it was excellent.

[@jamesbarnovsky6522]

I think it's awesome that a woman who is a opera singer takes notice of the voice of individuals like Rob Halbert and Judas Priest... one of the reasons I loved and continue to follow them.

[@gerritvanderkrift2164]

I love how you review every song/performance. It makes me vision you at Bloodstock and every now and then tell Rob and the band to stop so you can explain what is going on lol. that would make a show become 10 hours long. but seriously, i love your reviews, it makes me understand what a performer endures to make a performance like this.

[@xburk550]

I actually remember when Rob talked about this performance. The band was really nervous due to it being thier first big shot on TV. He also was upset about the sound production etc. The studio version is perfect.

[@jonthemachine1970]

I would love to see you react to "Blood red skies" by Judas Priest. One of his vocal masterpieces.

[@larrybeatson6352]

One of my FAVORITE songs by him!!!

[@UnYin99]

so many great moments in that song: "...as I die a legend will be born!" -takes the rest of the day off, several pints and a good nights rest he returns the following day for: "I will stand, I will fight! You'll never take me a-live!" -takes the day off, then: "...'cause I'll face you under blood red skies!" -takes two days off "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALI-IIIIIIIIVE!" -takes a week off, while exhaustively trained and declawed cats massage his larynx with exotic oils, blessed by a bevy of Tibetan monks, then: "I"M TEEEE-LLING YOUUUUUU!" -Walks out the door of the studio, directly into a waiting cab headed to the airport. Boards a private jet and flies a straight line to Kokomo Island, Fiji, where he spends the next 3 months sleeping in a hammock beside the beachside bar.
