I wondered the same thing , but I think he’s always been seen as part of a duo. One of the greatest guitar duos ever, but a team nonetheless. But as a guitarist, I realize that Glenn on his own is in an elite class of guitarists.
He pulls it off live too. Right down to the beautiful final fundamental note into feedback. Nothing like watching him turn his head away from his amp while that note is sustaining ,with the "that's right motherfuckers" look on his face.
He should be in every "best guitarrist ever" conversation. His solos are magnificent but his rhythm and songwriting skills are also otherworldly. Sadly and criminally underrated.
KK's crap solos brought him down. Unless you buy the album it's tough to recognize that it's always the same guy Glenn doing the great solo in the song.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. A wonderful guitarist that will go down in the books as one of the best shredders in metal history. I just hope that the Parkinson’s factor doesn’t weigh on him as much as he thinks it should
Can we just worship the fact that Glenn is one of the few metal guitar players that keep coming better in his soloing with the years and not the other way around?
he started as blues rock and ended with a mix of Eddie satch Metallica and yngwie in his playing..... bravo for continuing to get better and not resting on his laurels!
I wouldn't be so sure about it... His disease is hindering him from playing on a stage regularly. Really hope he can still find satisfaction with guitar.
@@Cthulhu_Awaken what i think he meant was Glens playing / solo's got better between 1974 - 2000's. But yeah they did several Albums that didn't top Ram it or Pain killer solos
@@MetalHeart8787 Oh, yeah absolutely agreed. When I first listened to Screaming For Vengeance I thought those solos couldn't possibly be matched by the same guy who played them, no way. Then I heard Painkiller.
Glenn and KK were the perfect duo, Glenn represented order with his technical proficiency and KK represented chaos with his wild shredding horse squeal solos. Perfect example for their style is One shot at glory which has brutal leads by both
The Thing Glenn & kk played for a long time together , that's Something you never ever replace but Here we are Still listening to those legends .in 2024 .
The Painkiller solo is on a completely different level, all by itself. The construction and incorporation of melody between the all out shredding parts is just perfect.
The thing about Tipton is he started as just a damn good British Bluesman in the vain of Rory Gallagher or Peter Green but as Priest's music got heavier he took a few cues from the neo-classical guys like blackmore and developed his own unique style. He has the speed chops, but he retains the melodicism and tone control of the british blues guys, hence his amazing vibrato and bending techniques.
@ Jonah Fuerstenberg. A very technically competent and correct description of his style and the structure of his solo. we wish that this genius, who has given us and me immeasurable joy in music for at least decades, can enjoy the results of his life's work in good health for a long time to come.
True that, up until now - check out Midori and Miyako of Lovebites. A new on the rise band with two great guitarists. ruclips.net/video/HgEbDuaEnqk/видео.html They also recently did a cover of Painkiller - ruclips.net/video/ivJXmOVsFaA/видео.html (The vocals don't match JP, but the guitars do)
@@ChadTheDragonLord Not even close, not the same league. Purely technician. Difference between technician and artist is simple - listen to both duos again, maybe You will hear.
@@harry170183 Midori is the technician, Miyako is the artist. Give them time. They have only been together five years. And they have only been playing guitar about ten years. Miyako is also a pianist and writes their music. She is an artist.
I had the honor of spending 2 whole days with Glenn in Memphis and even took him to the Park Theater to see Raiders of the Lost Ark. Before the movie started he was telling me about being in Ky. a few days before and hitting golf balls at the driving range and he said behind him was an employee on break playing his acoustic guitar and ''trying'' to play a Priest song. but not doing such a good job. Glenn said when he finished his bucket of balls he walked over and asked the guy if he could see his guitar and then Glenn broke into the song and he said the guy almost fell off the bench and Glenn hooked him up with tickets to the show-such a nice guy and he even called me to thank me for showing him around Memphis and said they were about to get on the bus and leave- After we hung up I was in such a heavenly place from 2 days with my idol I then played ''Heading out to the Highway in his honor while I sat and just absorbed everything that had taken place-Never forget it as long as I live Edit: By the way he was just so cool and the first night when I took him out I let him drive my 81 Z-28 and I asked what music he wanted to hear and he said '' How about something easy'' No prob I played WRVR 104 which was our easy listening station. But in his chats with me he talked a lot about his dog named Charlie and his daughter. When asked what did the ring on his pinky finger mean he said ''It was my ex-wife's wedding ban and I just wear it'' Great guy and I would love to see him again
@@andrewkramer4021 As you can imagine I hung on every word he said.I tried to be really cool with him and not such a fanboy but it was very hard. I think I did a pretty good job but on the inside I was busting!! Same as the 2 times taking Iron Maiden out on the town, once was Bruces Birthday and the band Girlschool went along also. That is another story also, what a night..
Iwe been listening to him since 1987 and I'm born in 1986. Music is my life and he is my favoritte guitarist of all time! Everything Glenn touched, he turned to gold. Blues, rock, hardrock, melodic metal, heavy metal, speed metal, you name one other guitarist who has that much background and done so well. Glenn is god!
Glenn has always been my favorite guitarist, KK is a close second. Priest is #1 in my book followed by Iron Maiden. Growing up with Metal and these guys makes me feel like I won the Life Lotto of Music!
This man was messing with some of the hardest arpeggios for guitar players and he handled them with fucking furious speed.. The intro sweep in Painkiller solo lasts for 4 seconds and he plays 38 notes, I believe, with precision of god.
Para mí el mejor guitarrista de la tierra.por qué no es el mejor el que más técnica o rapidez posea. Si no el que componga como los ángeles.todo lo que toca trasmite alma y eso es muy difícil
The early stuff : "Dreamer Deceiver" & "Beyond the realms of death" do it for me.. Intense feel & So melodic . "Here come the tears" is another one, but not listed.
A great solo indeed. But I think he nailed the solo even better at the youtube video "old grey whistle test" He changed some notes out for the better in my humble opinion. If you havent checked that one out, you definetly should! cheers!
@@dinosaurjesus2709 the solo he does in that live version at the old grey is fucking amazing I watch it all the time. So damn perfect. It’s even better than the studio version.
Truly one of the greatest guitarists ever, sets the standard. The junk being passed for Metal these days is not as finely crafted as this style. Music is more than,"I can play the F chord! I can play the F chord!" Nice set of shred, thanks for posting.
Don’t get me wrong dude, Judas Priest is rad. But new metal minus djent is far more technical than the 80s/90s stuff. The 80s had their fair share of super shredders like Malmsteen but not like today. Everyone shreds nowadays.
@@Hadouken5150 man you're right to some extent,but Tipton is an exception,i'd argue there still isn't any solo harder than All Guns Blazing or Baptizm of Fire no matter it's new or not.
My god Dreamer Deceive gives me goosebums, notice kids how he's using very little in the way of distortion. No fancy effects to mask his technique, just raw melodicism.
Jonah Fuerstenberg Dreamer Deceiver is truly amazing and melodic. It’s one of my top solos of all time. Glenn is a fucking genius and his solos and playing sound so different and NOTHING like anybody else’s. That’s why I love him so much. I’ve never heard anybody even come close to replicating his playing or sound!
I just loved when Priest played at Tampere, Finland and the silence before his iconic solo Beyond the realms of death and he fucking nailed it 100 percent like in the album.
Glenn’s Solo’s sing like songs, filled with incredible phrasing, bends, and great control. He is also responsible for writing some of Metal’s most iconic riffs.
Most of his solos translates straight to violin, listen to them as if on violin it's a great perspective. GT is always very Britishly thematic, soulful, tells the story and uplifting. A HUGE influence on my playing.
The reason a band can stay on top of current music makers year after year after year. Name a rock guitarist that doesnt have Glen on their list of influences. One of the under-rated best there are more under-rated masyers on my list. They all give me goosebumps to tears,hail,hail,hail
With you guys! He is was! The best, don't understand why he wasn't nominated best guitarist every time? So much time spent on his works I'm sure! In my eyes he's the 1! Bless his heart he spent his life giving us metal at it's best! The king!!! Love ya my friend
Glenn is a legend, that said, Ram it Down solo is kinda Maideny, all else distinct and superb, you could do a list of 20 easy. Not sure about Bapitize and Heavy Metal on top ten, seems created by a younger fan. Solo in Beyond the Realms of Death in a class by itself, and transcends time and space.
Incredible how everyone is 100% sold on the top 4. TOTALLY his finest moment and some of the best solos ever played in any genre. (Although Beyond the Realms of Death should be #1 :P )
50 years, how many solos he wrote and bridge it is just mind boggling and to remember them all even more, vastly underrated. Maybe there is something about of the tone of hamer that brings this to life, not sure I seen anybody else use hamer
Glenn is an incredible guitar master! Never disappoints! If you Google what a true rockstar looks like, you will find a photo of Glenn Tipton...he has it all..The music..The sexy vibe in sophisticated leather..the rockstar hair...the cool aloofness...Yes Indeed! The total package! 💘
He was the engine driving Judas priest both guitar players are phenomenal. I really like Richie Faulkner he is beyond a guitar God! Come to think of it Judas priest is one band that I haven't seen yet, next time they come through my area I'm going to go.
Painkiller is a solo I could put on an endless loop and Electric Eye is not only one of Priests best songs, it is also has an epic solo from a severely underrated metal god guitarist. 🤘🎸
I can't for the life of me understand why he isn't ranked as one of the greatest ever. He has speed but also wonderful phrasing and great tone.
mmrseed
Among other musician's, he's very highly rated! :D
I wondered the same thing , but I think he’s always been seen as part of a duo. One of the greatest guitar duos ever, but a team nonetheless. But as a guitarist, I realize that Glenn on his own is in an elite class of guitarists.
