Judas Priest performing Invincible Shield, Victim of Changes & Metal Gods at the First Direct Arena, Leeds, England, 13th March 2024

[@Andrey_Yurkoff]

Rob sounds better than on the 1st show of the tour.

[@palliare-carpediemz.u.pall569]

He will only get better in the course of time...its a known fact

[@mercuryrising2887]

The first few shows are usually pretty rough but give it a few shows and his voice will be all warmed up.

[@educatedhorses193]

Andy has really done a hellava job with JP!!

[@madgascoin2901]

The sound man got the drums and bass perfect.

[@palliare-carpediemz.u.pall569]

...it was 'bout time ....finally😂

[@GARY6661967]

I was there. Best night of my life. Thank you for the video. Peace, love and respect my metal loving sibling.

[@Stickleback]

The Priest Machine on form 🤘 Rumour has it Ian Hill was on stage

[@vladpuscasu8787]

Ian is a great bassist, I just wish he had more stage presence. It's like he's glued to that place on stage.

[@vintagesurvivor]

He's just a very modest guy...great bassist for sure, puts down the groove

[@Stickleback]

@@vintagesurvivor the Ian Hill comment is part of a very long standing joke.

[@vintagesurvivor]

@@Stickleback I get it, just say, cool guy

[@Acheron.426]

I look to Steve Harris for my bass stage presence lol...

[@franciscogarcia-tx2je]

Amazing!!! This is the real judas priest!!!

[@aligrosa2039]

Real? 😅 Without K.K and Tipton?

[@WestShoreMan]

Excellent!1Rock on!!

[@rusmoscow1971]

Молодцы!

[@lobsangrinchen4634]

J P and Saxon in form . cant wait to see them in Basel 🇨🇭

[@TopologiaDelespiritu_]

Vozarrón. Sigue intacto, pensé que le iba a costar más esta canción en vivo pero me equivoqué. Larga vida al Sacerdote ❤.

[@madgascoin2901]

Razing the place to the ground Ram it down - cant unhear it.

[@thesir1237]

At least people will dig this song, Ram It Down seems to be a black sheep, even though it's a good album.

[@madgascoin2901]

@@thesir1237 There's some similarities. Both involved a drum machine. Dave Holland was replaced by a drum machine and he quit Judas Priest after getting into a fight on stage with Glenn (video pending). Richie's use of a drum machine was only copied by Scott without really adding anything to it because it shows.

[@garyspaziani1699]

Awesome as always ..GODS!!!

[@Sjwolosz321]

Wow .. Can't believe I saw Priest in concert 43 years ago and some new band Iron Maiden

[@MrDavidUno]

6th April Milan!

[@RottenXoreRecords]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@omniken66]

I wish he wouldn't rely so much on the teleprompter and sing towards the crowd instead of down into the ground.

[@sabbathtribute]

Would love to see Panic Attack from this show

[@palliare-carpediemz.u.pall569]

The only song we all wanna hear is Crown of Horns

[@JeeHarding]

It’s on KZbin lol

[@Highlander1518]

I saw Panic Attack from the Leeds gig. It was the opener. Utterly epic.

[@viking_2112]

​@@palliare-carpediemz.u.pall569they didn't play crown of horns at Leeds. Played trial by fire instead

[@keepthesevenkeys]

With the song "Invincible Shield" I get the feeling that is reading the lyrics from a teleprompter? Can this be !?

[@johndoderino2609]

He absolutely is, as he does with most songs, save the big hits they've been doing forever

[@jackmerry632]

He’s openly admitted his memory isn’t what it used to be, he’s used one for years. If it makes him comfortable to perform then I’m all for it :)

[@johndoderino2609]

@jackmerry632 yeah and lots of singers use them as a safety net, like Hetfield

[@tomaszjaskoowski4705]

Dude, he’s almost 73… I am happy they’re touring at all

[@Kevin_1962]

They were brilliant all things considered

[@agrius747]

See You in Kraków 👊👊👊

[@slainelow]

They are starting to warm up. While Rob is less mobile than Glasgow he sounds better having returned to his "old man shuffle" he has developed on stage the last 20 years or so. However, if those are - and I think they are - teleprompters - he is staring into he was doing a lot more of it that night. Looking forward to Birmingham even more. And hopefully, by then, who is ever at the sound desk will have sorted themselves out. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@warrennelson2925]

Does Andy sneap play any solos or is it all Ritchie ?

[@boooootch]

Andy definitely plays some solos.

[@bazfitz6607]

Watch the Video 14.10

[@madgascoin2901]

It's mostly Richie. Hopefully Andy doesn't screw up the simple intro to Hell Bent For Leather anymore.

[@JeeHarding]

Lmfao

[@rickyd121]

Love you Rob but enough

[@thesir1237]

The ONLY thing I dont understand is the useage of backing tracks for vocals in the background. They started this I think on the Firepower tour. Not sure how I feel about that, but OTHER than that, they sounds great for a band that is the first metal band to release two albums 50 years apart. NOBODY is the same 50 years later. Age gets us all. They sound great for what it is. Priest in 24!

[@olegyd]

is not Judas Priest… Rob Priest that morr accurate name for this band

[@maciejzalewski7596]

i wait for Krakow :)

[@cc-rv9rf]

look down because he doesn't remember the lyrics. notes tremendously lowered in tone compared to the record. high pitches that are no longer had, but hoarse cries. you're deaf if you like listening to rob sing today

[@carllarouche4435]

Rob voice so bad!!

Particularly you re right, but I personally witnessed how tricky these distorted phone vids are.

[@moln3715]

He is 72, of course his voice has worn. Lots of respect for him still touring and putting out such a performance for his fans 🤘

[@tomjones6376]

I have seen Priest every tour since Hell Bent. this is not worth the money.

Thank you for your positivity and now let us enjoy their current concerts. Bye

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

Why can't they bring KK back..I miss Dave Holland and Glenn

[@tedlong2010]

Prolly because he’s a jerk.

you call this judas priest , withoit one original guitarist, not for me, this is halford/ hill band. no disprespect to current guitarists , but not for me,

[@Incomudro1963]

I agree, I love Priest - but this isn't Priest to me. It was ok when Richie came on board and Tipton was still there. At least that way you still had the KK/Tipton vibe.

[@tonyn3227]

@@Incomudro1963 exactly.

[@madgascoin2901]

You can actually hear Scott Travis live. I'm sure that upsets Richie Halford Priest fans for sounding too Metal.

[@JeeHarding]

What?

[@madgascoin2901]

@@JeeHarding Haven't you heard? JP fans think that Dave Holland was a God even though he was replaced by a drum machine but on the latest JP album, Scott's drum parts were created by Richie. However, Scott is still able to make it sound legit live with the help of the sound man making the drums and bass sound more effective.

[@JeeHarding]

@@madgascoin2901 where’d you get that information about Scott?

[@madgascoin2901]

@@JeeHarding Richie has gotten better with the drum machine. You can put 2 and 2 together with the Blabbermouth article where Richie was talking about AI. The one with him wearing a wig. Also Scott has never really ventured off the Dave Holland stuff but JP fans say he added double bass to SFV and ruined it. There's good drum interview on KZbin with Scott talking about playing the Dave Holland stuff the way it was recorded.

[@JeeHarding]

@@madgascoin2901 huh okay ig I learned new information. I thought Dave’s drumming on SFV was great

[@Mari000]

KKs Priest is better

[@user-qs8lq7ok9d]

Just Saw Them! They Are Great!

[@sabbathtribute]

They have chops but Judas Priest writes way, way better material. KKs has nothing as cool as Panic Attack, Serpent and the King, or anything on Firepower either.

[@Mari000]

@@sabbathtribute agree to disagree

[@dragonseye00]

​@@sabbathtributecan't find any song on the last 4 JP albums that would come close to "return of the sentinel" , "Sacerdote y Diablo", "keeper of the Graves" Or "Wash Away Your Sins". But maybe that's just coming down to personal preference. Invincible shield is a really good album, but not as good as some make it out to be, and firepower was good, but it feels somewhat forgettable

[@user-qs8lq7ok9d]

They Are Great But They Need KK To Replace Andy!

[@timdennebaum4498]

That ship has sailed, people need to accept it and move on!

[@vladpuscasu8787]

Lol, no chance in hell. People need to accept it and move on. KK made his own choices, nobody kicked him out. Plus, he burned all bridges for reconciliation after thrashing them in the media the years that followed. At this point I prefer they just make Andy a full fledged member since Glenn just can't do it anymore. Except sporadically.

[@madgascoin2901]

Andy just needs to be more consistent and keep up.

[@gatsu8826]

That would be killing KK's priest, and its singer Tim Ripper, potential. I'd rather have two band like now. In other terms, KK's priest is too good to be stopped now, just for an attempt to bring back "real" Judas priest, which, given Glen's state, will never happen

[@dmitriyshymko422]

JP could bring them both like Helloween did with Kiske and do a "Priest United" version of Pumpkins United, but thats just a dream at this point@@gatsu8826
