The cutaways during KK's iconic solo, are absolutely BRUTAL! This is a "signature" of KK's career guitar work! The camera work, was a total disservice to the man and the band.

[@Pamela-el9yv]

Mind blowing performance!! Ripper, I don't even know what to say,he's so good!! And KK, one of the greats!!

[@robertgwysong7822]

You can be Hard core Priest - hard core KK, hard ass Ripper, it does not matter - this is the best it can get man the Victim of Changes Unbelievable

[@dragonseye00]

That's it, I love maiden, with every of their members (and I know some songs for better for other singers, but they're never be where they are without Bruce), I love priest with all their members (I understand they'd never be what they are without, KK, Glenn or Rob, but also they likely wouldn't be around if not for Tim filling in for Ein, allowing them to experiment with some harder sounds and keeping the band going). I know ACDC are where they are because of him Scott, but still I prefer their work with Brian, I think every band member brings in their own style and influences, and those are enriching the band and their legacy. I do not understand why peeps hate on KK, Tim or the fact that they play priest songs. It's just stupid and ignorant, because it doesn't take anything away, it adds and enriches the legacy of everyone involved. Why are people not simply able to enjoy good music instead of engaging in a cult of personality? Let's just rock and enjoy great music 🤟

[@Waylon7000]

UNREAL HOW GOOD THIS IS!!

[@tracyriddle2010]

KK has made a nice comeback!

[@grogu1986]

This is fucking incredible. What a set man. Halford is the goat, but Owens is a god too.

[@shanecopner7827]

Both fantastic let's praise more,these guys are still entertaining us metalheads👍👍

[@SillySongs4Everyone2001]

It wasn’t easy replacing Halford but Owen’s did have the voice to tackle lots of the early priest

[@RandyVampiro]

All Hail All Versions Of The Mighty, Mighty Priest!

[@shanecopner7827]

Totally agree let's praise and love these guys they won't be around forever❤❤

[@steelwalt1]

But...its not Priest...its KK'S PRIEST ​@@shanecopner7827

[@priestfan81]

Amazing. This blew me away when I saw them in Manchester. Ripper doing the songs more than justice and the band are absolutely killing it.

[@charleshaupt6834]

Sick vocals,brilliant playing of a classic song..Respect..

[@davidbaldridge8680]

KK DOWNING still fucking rocks the world of British heavy metal and Tim ripper Owen just shred vocals great

[@thedronedownunder3919]

I'm 57. This is easily, by a John Holmes shlong, THE best live rendition of this classic....EVER. The End.

[@jock8523]

🤔 really??

[@lawrencefine5020]

Ripper gets a lot of flack for adlibbing and trying to sound a lot more Halford than Halford, but he sounds soooo gooood here. Nice job Ripper. That fucking guitar TONE, Jesus H Christ, is the definition of Metal. That song alone needs to be in the RnRHoF. Great work KK's Priest.

[@saecarnifex]

holy SHIT Ripper - you still got it brotha!!!

[@timothykeenan3705]

My 1st Priest show Tim Ripper Owens sang , i was fuckin floored he was so good !

Those ESP guitars sound great. These guys are awesome.

[@FSzabi79]

Esp guitars are the best guitars in metal music. Metallica,Jeff Hanemann, Alexi Laiho etc. plays with Esp guitars

[@sabbathtribute]

Excellent! And perfect audio mix 👍

[@CaseyMoo1]

Damn 🔥THIS performance is the best live version of this song; EVER.

[@jameswalker7880]

Incredibly cool 🤘 very cool they got the sad wings of Destiny background as well..

Would be nice - no, fitting - for Kk to take the opportunity to play his extended solo for this song.... on a par with Beyond... that GT apparently kaiboshed when recording the album track. Lets hear it KK!!

Owens arregaçou, o cabra é barra pesada 🤘🤘

Great quality but the camera man can do better next time with the solos...

7:08 incredible 7:33 even better!!!

I was out of breath at the end

[@EvilJester119]

I’ve said many times Tim “Ripper” Owens, ALWAYS THE IMITATOR of the METAL GOD Robert John Arthur Halford.

[@Icedsymphony7]

Even better than the 'unleash in the east's version

[@Razzlyn]

5:26 \m/

[@arto2533]

Wow. The first time I've heard that super easy intro played off key. 🙃

[@artriveros7659]

Since he (Ripper) lost some weight , he’s back to his prime from the 90’s

[@gtr1963]

id see kks priest before i saw Priest( current lineup).. without kk, glenn, Priest is a cover band(to me)

[@ArtemisMac]

Perfect tempo. OG Priest always played it a bit fast live and it kinda loses the groove.

[@edwinniz]

I wish the original songs were good, but at least they nail the Judas Priest nicely.

[@sabbathtribute]

I see your point. I really like One more shot at Glory, but don't much care for their material overall

[@snaggletooth3436]

They’re better than anything from Priest after Painkiller

[@sonnic1995]

@@snaggletooth3436 I mean, i really like AOR and Nostradamus, they have some killer solos but i can see why people dislike them. The newer Invincible Shield is sounding better than FirePower and Reedemer Of Souls, which to me sounded like rehash of old stuff, but i'm skeptical if Rob will be able to pull off the songs live. Yeah we've seen him hitting a high note here and there, but seems like most of the songs are getting "painkiller-like" vocals

[@kskip4242]

Horrible. Absolute train wreck. I've heard bands at bars cover the song better.

[@johnjenkins6782]

Ripper can't hang with Halford sorry Tim priest failed with you

[@dragonfly3816]

What? Lol

[@aligrosa2039]

Lol 😅

[@steelwalt1]

You nuts...ripper is awesome and was phenomenal with ICED EARTH

[@montygraham-z4s]

I must recanter. The band sounds really good and the singer really SUCKS!!!!

[@michaelgillan8845]

Mr Tim "Ripper" Owens ... Sound as great as ever. Good to see you still at it, back with K.K. of Priest ... AWESOME 😎

[@johnmaloney1468]

Those screams sound completely wild and unhinged, yet delivered with control, just like they should - Ripper completely slays this, man

[@davidbaldridge8680]

After all these years kk downing can still fucking play fucking lead guitar and is still fucking bad ass

[@AxeKiller6754]

KK's Priest is next to Judas Priest my favorite band.

[@jasonbala7858]

This version kicks some serious ass.

gracias KK por mantenerte fiel al verdadero sonido del metal clasico para los clasicos seguidores de JP. excelente interpretacion de este himno del metal.🎸🎸❤

Bravo, Owens!

[@johannjohann6523]

What an Amazing Live sound for the band! Front of House 10 out of 10 in my book! This band is as solid as they come and I bet there isn't another band out there that would want to follow these guys on stage after their set! K.K. Downing and the entire band fucking ROCK!

[@rodwalker1113]

Everyone deservedly praising KK and Ripper so time for me to give AJ a shout, nice one Baggie, top drawer mate.

Rob Halford would probably rip out one of his nipple piercings if he could sing this song like the Ripper. Unattainable. But the guitar harmonies at the beginning of the song are anything but harmonic

[@MrDepodot7]

what, no Glenny to sing like the Queen? Long live the Ripper!

[@MrDepodot7]

Yeah I miss the queen thing
