Judas Priest - Painkiller | REACTION

[@davidedipaolo8640]

You Need to know that Rob NEVER sings like this in all the other Judas Priest Songs. He's not a One trick cheap Singer. He's phenomenal.

[@saschaschneider6355]

He sings differently in every single song. Never sounds the same but still is easily recognizable

[@paulhabat7746]

Halford has a range like nobody else,,!! A lot of people tried,, But never compared,

[@davidlefranc6240]

exactly he needed to sing like this heaviest song ever

[@AZColt1971]

1990 was a TERIFFIC year for metal. This album, Megadeth - Rust In Peace, Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss, Pantera - Cowboys From Hell, Anthrax - Persistence of Time, Queensryche - Empire, Testament - Souls of Black, etc. SO many great ones came out in that year.

[@AZColt1971]

Oops! *TERRIFIC (I always spell it wrong)

Alice N Chains - Facelift, Warrant - Cherry Pie, Black Sabbath - Tyr,

@@charleswilson4526 I saw this tour which when it rolled through Philly was Alice in Chains opening with Megadeth in the middle slot and Priest headlining

[@charleswilson4526]

[@ov3rdos311]

First Cannibal Corpse album too, Eaten Back to Life.

[@robertoacevedo6247]

Rob Halfirds voice is supposed to sound like a hammer hitting an anvil.

[@paulm.5979]

Priest are the metal gods, this album is pure metal bliss. Rob Halford is one of the best heavy metal singers of all time, hands down. You need to check out a live performance, like the Sentinel 86 Fuel for Life tour. Another thing coming or Hell Bent for leather usually is the last song of the night.

[@hemlock399]

Take my word for it, none of you "dislike" Rob Halford's voice, you just don't care for this particular Halford style (at least not yet - it may grow on you). He's a multitalented vocalist with a lot of capabilities. Undoubtedly, you'd like a lot of what he's done in his 50 year career.

[@annaibarra8073]

Judas Priest pain killer definitely one of rocks best song . This is pure talent

[@p1ls726]

Rob Halford has one of the greatest vocal ranges ever. He's phenomenal

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

This is jumping into the deep end of Judas Priest's catalog but if you want to explain heavy metal in one song this is the one.

[@brothadarrell8315]

People must realize that Priest started what metal would really become after Black Sabbath and their 70s albums are hauntingly good. The best I've ever heard on metal vocals to this day was when Priest did live version of devil's child in 1982. They finally put that song as a bonus track on the anniversary album release. He starts out just warming up during the first part of the song and by the time he's going into the chorus the 2nd time, his voice to this day shows why he's the metal god

[@IVORY123100]

I was 15 on July 1st 1981 , Me and my buddy got tickets to see Judas Priest at The Capital Centre Washington DC .. They had some opening act we never heard of before .. We were there for ' PRIEST !!!!!!!!!!. . Everybody was pumped and smoked up . Ready for PRIEST !!!!!!! ,, but we knew we had to sit through some band . We Want Priest !!! .. This other band came on and nobody was standing , Bored !! .. We wanted Priest !! . ..That other band came on and started playing " Yawn " .. 10 seconds in " Who the fuck is this band ??" .. Iron Maiden ?? Who is Iron Maiden ? . The place went nuts .. . By the end of their set .. Wasn't sure if we wanted to see Priest .. We wanted IRON MAIDEN !!!

[@zhmtl]

The Metal God at his best!! 🤘🏻😈

[@saschaschneider6355]

Rob Halford is a vocal chameleon. He (and Priest) have changed constantly in every aspect for around 50 years. A lot of bands find their rut and stay in that lane for their whole career. Not so Judas Priest. These guys were constantly changing and constantly evolving and every album sounds differently. You never know from which angle they'd be coming at you next. And yet they remain recognizable as Judas Priest. That's no mean feat They were one of the fathers of metal, they've influenced metal culture and still are going strong. Their latest album came out in 2018 and was the metal album of the year to many. The rabbit hole is deep...

[@XA351GT]

Very true if anyone tracks their entire history album by album they all vary from the previous release even if it's very slight. Some are bigger jumps than others. I like to take one track from each album in their order of release to show the progression from start to now. Priest is one of the few that could evolve their sound without losing their older fans.

[@paulhabat7746]

This is the Painkiller!! Epic!! Wait for the solos

[@Rstar63]

The first solos are Glen Tipton. The end solo is KK Downing

[@genarogilormino2139]

Painkiller is the eargasm if metal......

[@genarogilormino2139]

Eargasm of metal

[@paulhabat7746]

If you had the pleasure of seeing priest live,, they were note for note perfect to the original songs,, Glenn was EXCACTLY on point with his leads like on the studio versions

[@AnnahRoberts76]

Halford -Silent Screams is incredible

[@fooser77]

Considering when this song/album was released in 1990, the band average age was 40!

[@dannielleeduardo]

this album is all amazing guys.

[@insanerhardstyle5872]

the Vocals from Rob the solos from Tipton and KK the monster drumming from Travis and they make change Metal History forever

[@stevenwinn3636]

You're dead right when you say not too many can play this to a T ! First (really long) solo is all Glen Tipton, the second (really short) is K K Downing, phenomonal !

[@flameofudun8447]

This entire Album is FIRE!!! There are zero misses every song is a solid kickass metal track. Compares favorably to any of the first four albums by Metallica. This is in my top 3 metal albums of all time. Personal taste of course.

[@bloodstone6196]

Yep!

[@michaelshields7777]

Judas Priest is one of my all time favorite metal bands and Rob Halford is THE metal god!! You should do a review of "Love Bites," and "The Sentinel," from their "Priest Live" 1987 concert DVD.

[@RODRIEUROMANIAKO]

Judas Priest is a legendary band...Painkiller is one of the best metal songs in history,,,but the riffs and solos of IRON MAIDEN...are unbeatable...good video

[@bryanforis1839]

Talk about great singer the best great singer

[@srt8rocketship241]

A relentless sledgehammer to the senses. In a great way.

[@TweedSuit]

1990: Judas Priest are considered members of the old guard, their glory days well behind them. 1990: Judas Priest drop this...

[@heyskipj]

Contribution of drummer Scott Travis can’t be understated. Dave who? This was his introduction to Judas Priest fans. And my opinion he literally gave the band another 20 years of life, alone

[@williamosborne6866]

JP made this album as an answer to critics and fans that thought they had gone soft and radio-friendly - hold my beer. Now, try some more intricate stuff from them and marvel at Rob Halford's range and control - Flamethrower (off their new 2020 album - Rob is pushing 65): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqStfGypjreIjcU Nightcrawler: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6rcgJJ-pN9-ZsU Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuwmq2iaNaEfac You've got another Thing Coming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maCkaGirpLJ5apI The Hellion/Electric Eye: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i36td2Ztd7t6iqM

Rob doesn't sing like this all the time he has inhuman range though. Check out Beyond the realms of death!!

[@lonestoner8297]

I'm gonna admit, I don't really know Judas Priest very well at all but damn! I'm gonna need to listen to them some more. Also that intro had some serious Doom vibes.

[@dariofernando5572]

This is the peak or the 'last golden era' of Judas Priest in 1990, they started in early 70s check their previous release

[@saschaschneider6355]

If you like variety you'll love Priest. You can find anything from bluesy stuff over glam and disco influenced songs to thrashy and even nu metal inspired albums. Ballads, groovy stuff, stadium hymns, prog rock, Queenish harmonizing, you name it, you'll find it in their catalogue. Even a friend of mine likes some Priest songs although she's more into really mellow stuff and the "hardest" band she listens to is Pink Floyd

[@easyduzit9200]

@@saschaschneider6355 yup thats y I love Priest...they can do a bit of everyrhing

[@danieljohnston1798]

You guys need to do a reaction for "you've got another thing coming" by Judas Priest. That is by far the classic JP sound.

[@kaneanderson993]

Overplayed and overrated too ;)

[@Grandmastergav86]

Exciter, Dissident Aggressor, Starbreaker, Beyond The Realms Of Death, Rapid Fire, Screaming For Vengeance, Heroes End, Breaking the Law, Sinner, Desert Plains, Metal Gods are good starting points.

[@MrDeansamson1]

Listen to breaking the law or living after midnight to hear his voice

[@sean7735]

If you want to hear some Halford range... try Dreamer Deceiver, The Sentinel, Diamond's and rust live, The Rage live British Steel reunion, Beyond the Realms of Death,,, & a ton more

[@saschaschneider6355]

Blood Red Skies

[@sean7735]

@@saschaschneider6355 Agreed!

[@paulhabat7746]

Dreamer Deciever is probably the best example of Halfords range,, Touched by God himself

[@matthewphillips2698]

Welcome to theatrical metal at least that's what I call it because Rob Halford had a Alto soprano voice sang Opera as a child in between him and Boy George they were the two biggest faces in England speaking out for gay people at that time one of the things I respect about both artists is that they weren't shy about it either and they were gay when it wasn't cool to be gay so I respect those men wholeheartedly especially Boy George I mean he took so much animosity and hate from people just for coming out and saying he was gay and being proud that he was good he wasn't pushing his beliefs on anybody he was just stating that he personally was gay and he got excoriated in almost shunned out of society for it but he kept producing great music and they couldn't cancel him! John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten from The Sex Pistols he was another one that was almost shunned out of society because he supported gay rights in England but he was always outspoken that's one of the things I always respected about him he was never afraid to speak his mind and he wasn't going to allow anybody to stop him same with the other two guys Boy George and Rob Alford they weren't going to be denied they were going to tell you how they felt and they didn't give a damn if you care or not! I respect that a lot more than someone being fake to my face!

Try Electric Eye, The Ripper, Desert Plains, You got another thing coming, The Green Manalishi with the Two prong crown. Why they have people reacting to this Priest is beyond me

[@davidedipaolo8640]

You should REALLY hear Battle Hymn/One shot at Glory, The Sentinel and Blood Red Skies too. The list Is pretty long but these are Just perfect starters.

[@BrianSherman-TheTVGod]

Yeah, this is NOT typical Rob Halford (until the very end)...check out songs like Victim of Changes, The Hellion/Electric Eye, Touch of Evil...even a newer track like Spectre has amazing vocials.

[@secularnevrosis]

Well. For a complete span of Halfords voice you have 'Last Rose of Summer', 'Dreamer Deceiver' etc etc etc... For a song you can actually learn to play pretty fast on this album...I would rcommend Night Crawler.

[@gordonmccullagh8675]

Check out early Priest, Dreamer Deceiver from Sad Wings of Destiny. It's nothing like Painkiller.

[@xpizzahotx9971]

React to full album! Is a masterpiece🤘🏻

[@cogitationescaecae1125]

[@jeffreytenly9399]

Please do yourself a great justice and listen to the extreme opposite of Rob Halford's vocal range, and JPs style with either Victim of changes (and/or) Dreamer/deceiver from their 3rd album Sad Wings Of Destiny. I do believe you will then understand and love Halfords singing and vocal range. The studio versions are the best versions of these imo, but if you want to see them a bit trippy watch Dreamer/Deceiver live video from 1976 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafPomR8Yr1pgdE

[@fenxhitzgordon3172]

First!

[@XA351GT]

WHAAAAAAT? You're not a fan of Bruce Dickinson ? When you said you didn't like the singing of Maiden or Priest really? This song I can understand the vocals being off putting to those who don't know of Rob's complete range. The vocals here almost always stay in in higher range , but his vocals on other songs cover like 4 octaves in range. This song was released to introduce a new drummer and to signal to fans a return to form after what some considered a step back with the 2 previous more poppy albums . It also was a signal that these old dogs could keep up with Thrash that was dominating the metal scene at the time.

[@chuckrambo4401]

Painkiller Sucks but everyone chose it 😡 Try Some heads are gonna roll, electric eye, Hell bent for leather, You got another thing coming, Desert plains, Turbo Lover, The Sentinel, so many songs that are sooo much better

[@randycomerford2038]

Dude if you don't Rob Halford, then you don't like Metal!!!!
