I don’t normally have an emotional moment when listening to a guitar solo, but when I do, it’s Glenn Tiptons solo in Beyond the Realms of Death.

[@AlistersCreation]

Can feel every note he hits in this solo

A Touch Of Evil is another super-emotional Glenn solo for me. Some faster duels with KK as well... Ram It Down, Painkiller, Sentinel...doesn't get better than that,

[@nunovilas9613]

Dont take me wrong, if normally you dont have an emotional moment when listening to a guitar solo is because is something wrong with you, man, Glen for sure one of the best but we have a lot of great guitarrists that delivery amazing emotional solos, thats why i love heavy metal, i am very happy that i cannot choose "the best One" i even dont care witch one is the best.

[@ruthfitzpatrick4726]

Rob is off stage because he drinks hot tea with lemon and honey as well as ice water to protect his throat. Then, just before he comes back out, he gets a piece of eucalyptus gum to chew on stage. He does it during every long solo.

Greatest metal vocalist for almost half a century... let that sink in

I've been saying this for YEARS. Glenn is, hands down, the most criminally underrated and ignored guitarist in the world, IMO. The world is just fucked up. We have to hear BTL and LAM a gazillion times (I HATE those songs), but never something like this. Or A Touch of Evil or All Guns Blazing. Sadly, Priest has never gotten their due. To me, Glenn's one step below Eddie, but I've worshipped Glenn since I was 11 years old. I'm 52, now.

I love how older bands talk to their audiences and really show their appreciation for them. Rob does that throughout this show and I think of RJD who absolutely adored his fans. It seems like new metal bands mostly come on stage, barely say anything to their audience, and when they do talk, it's filled with "fuck this" and "fuck that" and they really don't say anything meaningful.

I would have a hard time ranking the oh so many metal bands I love. I'm just so thankful I've been able to see many of my favorite bands I've been listening to since I was 13 in 1980! Especially when I remember some rock critic saying "Metal is a passing fad. It'll never last" around '82. It REALLY upset me as I kept thinking "No, something this great can't only last for a little bit". Man, how wrong the critics were!!!!Cheers from Canada!

@@briansauer6695 Yes, SAXON is awesome! Been seeing them in concert when I was able since the mid 80's KICK AXE as well. In fact, the last time Judas Priest was here for the Firepower tour it was Black Star Riders with Scott Gorham from Thin Lizzy and then Saxon who warned up. Best part of B.S.R was Gorham's lead guitar work. Saxon however kicked ass! I'm 56 and feel lucky that I've pretty much seen any and everyone I wanted to, minus those passed away. From A to Z I've seen them all and met most of them. My mancave is wall to wall and ceiling framed autographed pictures of me and the bands. Drum Stix signed, picks as well, etc. Every concert shirt since Jr. High new and signed. I was going to leave it to the R N R Hall of Fame but they became SHAME! Guess what the Country music hall of fame doesn't have? Music that isn't Country! So now I don't know who to leave my collection to. My grown kids wouldn't appreciate it. Hell I have front row pictures of Randy Rhoads playing his poker dot flying V. Way to much to list including all my ticket stubs and Back Stage passes. KANSAS, KISS, DIO, PRIEST, SABBATH, RUSH, G3, both Monsters of Rock tours, etc. Someone who knows music and can appreciate the collection I've amassed should have it and enjoy it as I did. Some all original members are dead. Molly Hatchet and Skynyrd except for Gary Rossington,etc. A huge task to find a younger fan out there somewhere to get the collection.
