If anyone is wondering why KK Downing is wearing shades throughout most of this concert - he was poked in the eye socket by an incorrectly cut guitar string from one of his guitars that his tech handed him after restringing it.

[@thedownsides]

His vocal capability is without a match but also Halford may very well be one of the very best rock/metal frontmen ever. Amazing appearance, movements, energy on stage. He embodies the whole spirit of Judas Priest looking like he just got out of a 70's super fast motorcycle spaceship that destroys its enemies with huge energy cannons. Basically HE is the painkiller.

[@spiritsplice]

He was pretty awful live though. he is really struggling here. His pitch is all over the place on the midrange stuff.

I heard some fools saying Judas Priest is underrated. Are you kidding me? These guys practically invented the metal genre!

[@alphaorion6425]

The metal genre was invented in the late 60s, at that time there was no trace of Judas Priest. The band didn't really take off until Glenn Tipton joined in 1974.. They contributed to shaping but did not invent the genre.
