Not to mention that he also has the ears of an Elf or an Imp or something ;-p (Sorry Rob)

Imo Ronnie James Dio was the best singer in metal. That man could sing anything. Now that he's left us the title of best singer in metal definitely has to go to Rob. He too can sing anything.

[@robgraves7081]

Nicely put!!

[@zg1000dru1]

You can say that Freddie Mercury had the best singers voice or our lifetime and that Plant or Paul Rodgers was the quintessential rock singer, but Halford is hands down the greatest metal singer bar none.

[@michaelsnelling9875]

Tasmar Vanderweghe yes

[@michaelsnelling9875]

Yes

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

Freddie Mercury singing this would be very interesting indeed.

[@thaler67]

Considering JP more or less invented modern heaven metal, it is not a surprise.

[@RixHoffman]

@@thaler67 Why modern ? They are the first band who have played what we call Heavy Metal, there was no metal before them, so it is not modern ^^

I'm crying like a 13 yr old girl. That was beautiful

[@xander4301]

without Rob Halford...I wouldn't have 5 guitars, a keyboard, and a recording system.He is my inspiration for heavy metal & acoustic melodies. THANK YOU ALL MIGHTY METAL GODS.

[@xrey9739]

awesome cover of the haunting 1975 Joan Baez acoustic hit. Even Joan was shocked and flattered that Rob Halford covered her song about her early 60's relationship with Bob Dylan. Judas Priest takes this very personal song up another level and proves a great song is forever, no matter who performs it.

[@yiannisserpico2646]

The great song lasts forever. You're totally correct!

[@briankeightly3361]

I bought Judas priest unleashed in the east , I was in a record store, I looked at the cover and bought it ,and it blew me away , my favorite songs are diamonds and rust and green manalishi.

Its good to see that Judas Priest are finally receiving the respect they deserve for their awesome talent.

so wonderful, Rob's voice

[@daviehenry4402]

acoustic version is still heavier and more rockin then anything Nickleback has done!

[@danallshaw1131]

Just got done listening to Diamonds and Rust from Joan Baez this morning. What an honor to hear them do this acoustic. High five for getting into the "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" this year.

[@jonginder5494]

This is an amazing song and performance. I recon Rob Halford could sing a song about paint drying and grass growing and it would be amazing.

[@phil1065]

Fuck. Yes. Goosebumps and tears. Best ever ladies and gentlemen.

[@horaciochapa1682]

[@lorettamurzin3966]

Judas Priest is my favorite band of all time Rob Halford's voice is just amazing and we he sings with the band mates it is a unbelievable experience.

[@omeroz2752]

Here is the lyrics I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Now I see you standing all around and snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes on white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Don't want no more diamonds, diamonds and rust

Utter shock! I live on 5th floor, the chill along my spine went all the way to the basement. I was lucky enough to hear it live in 2004, and all you saw was dropped jaws in the crowd and I swear to God this song (and Touch of Evil and Beyond the Realms) hit all of us so hard we couldn't even sing. Seriously, and you could see big tough men shed tears and stuff, that was unreal!

[@sammorganmusic]

Rob is amazing... singers like him and Dio are able to just reach inside you and comfort a part of you nothing and noone else can, or inspire you and invigorate you more than anything other thing. Thank God for em, they are true heroes in their own way, I'm not sure where me and countless others would be without legends like Rob.

[@cookiemcbride4780]

Rob, Kk, Glen, Ian... I am one of your earliest US fans dating back to 1974 or 1975. You not only made a few songs your own, you made metal your own in ways that will never be equaled. Unique is a shallow word, but all I have in this moment.

one of the best bands to ever exist. I wished we could go back in time and keep them young, but alas, they have retired. I grew up with them, I love them, one of the best front men ever to exist, the sound with rob halford was just so incredible. I have all their albums, and wished I had the first versions I'd bought back in the day, I've worn a few out over the years.

[@deathbunnymacfunshine6913]

Now that would be amazing

[@lifeisgoid]

HERE IS THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG"DIAMONDS AND RUST" Joan Baez revealed to The Huffington Post that she wrote this song after Bob Dylan called her from a phone booth and sang her the lyrics to his song "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts." Baez said that this gave her inspiration to write "Diamonds & Rust," and that she lied to Dylan, telling him it was about David Harris, who she was married to from 1968-1973. Bob Dylan rarely reveals much about his songs, but his track "Queen Jane Approximately" is most likely his take on his relationship with Baez.

[@bassesatta9235]

[@illiterati101]

She said she loved the original cover they did, the metal version: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonds_%26_Rust_(song)

[@AnneLeighton]

She knows; she made a ton of money from this cover. They played together at LIVE AID in Philadelphia 30 years ago; I'm sure they met there.

[@jaizzj.z.3690]

Anne Leighton Yes, they met. Rob said that. He said also that he was worrying what Joan would say about Judas Priest version, maybe she didn't like it. But she came to him and told him that their version is great and is favourite song of her son from all Joane's stuff. Rob was speaking about it in some interview not so long time ago.

[@brucekirk89]

Anne Leighton just about every song Dylan did was written by Joan

[@ElvizaPelvis]

brucekirk89 You've got that backwards; Joan did a double album that was all Dylan songs and has included songs of his on a couple of other albums (and many live shows.) Of course they also wrote songs about each other. 😀

[@jackpurviance3844]

I first discovered this video about 6 months ago and have been haunted ever since. Rarely does a day go by that I don't watch it. I still get chill bumps when I listen to it. Rob's voice is perfect for this song.

[@TurquiseSin]

The important thing is that he's not trying to pretend that nothing has changed and sing in the same way. He re-arranges the old songs a little bit, so they still sound awesome! That's the real artist, who knows his possibilites!

[@paulrogers6037]

Never heard this before. My Lord, what a great performance. Met Rob numerous times in Phoenix in the 80s. Heard him in the studio with local bands a couple of times. Super, super nice guy.

Rob's voice is amazing here. Well it is anywhere else, but you know what I mean.

People saying that heavy metal is all about screatching guitars played at a million miles an hour and screaming singers should listen to this. I know the song isnt metal but it just shows the versatility of the men and show they are real musicians.
