this song....possibly hardest vocal to even try to keep up with. i auditioned for a band and they wanted me to sing this....i grabbed a beer and left lol
His voice was incredible in the early 2000's. He can't sing painkiller like this anymore, but then again he's 63 years old. The new album is great as well.
Not even close to the studio version. But still better than other performances of the song he’s done. Basically, it’s not a bad performance at all. But i don’t think “like the studio version” means what you think it means.
He did it pretty good on the 1991 leg of the 'Painkiller' tour and the 'Operation Rock N Roll Tour' leg og it, later in '91. But he has never done it this great since then.
As in many "pro" DVDs the audio was remastered and fixed in studio, I'm not saying Halford is not a good singer, Priest is by far my favorite band ever, Rob is one of my favorite singers, but I know him too well, I can easily identify this audio as not 100% legit.
all of his performances of this song since 2000-2004 were great. 2005-2010 was his worst period vocally and he still figured out how to pull everything off.
I know this is 13 years old, but even so how many 52 year olds do you know that could sing one of the hardest metal songs to sing live this well at that age. At an age when many metal singers have seen much better days, Rob was still tearing it up like he was in his 20's. An incredible job from the master himself Mr. Rob Halford!!!!!
Man Halford really nailed those high shrieks in this version. Definitely the most consistent live version I've seen for the vocals of this song. Sounds amazing.
@@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke Dion good but not even close to beating Rob Halfords vocal range ,Dio wasn't as good Deep Purple singer Ian Gillian let alone Rob Halford ,the only vocalist I've seen match Rob Halfords raw power & tones was Freddie Mercury in 1979 ,I saw Priest that year as well & Freddie tied Rob .
@@BjornHellZ69 No such thing as a 'live' album now, all the strings re-amped, drum stems replaced, re-tracked and loads of post production, just how it is.
I remember having to sing this well our singer was out due to a back injury, and while I think I did it well, my voice was shot and I tasted blood, since my only approach to this song was scream while trying to hit the notes. If I had a video, I'd absolutely show it. Never choose to sing this song unless you are a professional with years of training.
This is an excellent live performance by Rob. He did a great job on this song at Wacken 2015 as well, especially when you consider his age and those notes.
The Quintessential Rob Halford right there!!! I think I was at this show. Into The Pit was also off the charts! Thanks for everything Rob and continued success.
I wonder any studio dubbing has been made here for the vocal parts, as halford never sounded this good in singing this song live in recent years. And playing of instruments are also sounding too perfect. Halford is my all time fav singer, one and only one, and thus I wanted to confirm that this is actual live singing. Any guy that attended this show please tell me if he sounded this good in that show singing painkiller.
This is probably the best Painkiller live performance he's ever done; really nice. I really love how he started adopting a more raspy style live during the early 2000's.
Halford is unbelievable here. Shame a wonderful vocalist like Rob couldn't have a found a slightly more talented guitarist. Even so, what a performance. I bet he needed a neat shot of vodka after to clear his voice hahah.
Man "Metal" Mike Chlasciak on the right hand side is a total Beast on guitar,and I think its Roy Z on the left..IDK what you are or aren't hearing but this is a Damn good band here.
halford was given a once in a lifetime instrument. everyone can learn to sing but being able to do what rob does is natural talent. he distorts his tone quality while still coloring it and making it resonate. all that plus you can understand every word he says, not something you can say about a lot of metal vocalists. rob is an artist of the highest caliber
Entre el 2000 y 2004 Halford estaba pasando por un gran momento, ya que antes se habia tomado un buen descanso y volvio con las energias recargadas. Hoy en dia no se le puede pedir mas por su edad, a demas de que ese tipo de voces, se desgastan mas rapido.
Now THIS is what I've been thinking for many years... I'm sure that if Priest would've played this song among the first fve or six songs of their set, when Rob's voice was all rested up and ready to fire on all cylinders, this song would've sounded so much better live, and it would've saved Rob a whole deal of problems and struggling performances. Instead, they always decided to play it at the final portion of the set, and being so extremely demanding vocal-wise, it's no surprise Rob couldn't handle it at the top of his game; many times having to strain his voice beyond the necessary limits, to the point where nowadays he unfortunately can't properly sing it live anymore, and the song had to be taken out of the set. We also must take into account that Rob was about to turn 40 when the "Painkiller" album originally came out, so he wasn't already at his prime, thus the idea of playing it at the beginning of the set only made more sense for me. I don't know why they (Priest) never gave this a try, however I'm glad that Rob himself did pull it off on the "Crucible" tour and left us with this amazing rendition of one of metal's greatest tunes.
nmlss Never said i didn't like Metallica just that this is the best metal song ever! ,if anyone asks me for a song that explains what metal music is this is the one i hand to them.
nmlss Halford is 12 years older than Hetfield , lets talk in another 12 years and see how Metallica are doing, they sound like they are using a rubbish bin as a drum and they seem to have forgotten how to write good songs, Even Ripper has trouble singing painkiller live and he has an incredible voice, all bands have trouble as they get older even Bruce struggles singing run to the hills, thats life.
Halford couldn't even sing Painkiller back in the 90's…. In fact, I think this is the only good performance of this song I've seen and I suspect it's a bit edited. I hope to be wrong, because I do like Judas and love Halford, but damn….
Man this has got to be the best Halford's performance singing Painkiller live. I was just shitting out on him because I had never seen such a good live performance from himself on this song. This is really awesome!
In my opinion this is the best version of painkiller anywhere his vocals are just outstandingly awesome here.. better than the recording on painkiller CD... just fucking fantastic the METAL GOD lives on
The solo guitarist is Mike Chlasciak. He is an awessome guitar player, I have met Mike and he is a really cool guy. Mike can play that solo perfect. Anybody who doesn't think he has the ability is crazy. I love Glenn Tipton from priest, but if Tipton was going berserk on stage like Mike was, he would probably miss a few notes too. Why do people have to be so cynical. Personal I thought he was entertaining as hell! Let's see any of you bashing Mike play it better live on stage with that kind of enthusiasm. Give the guy some respect. Awesome job Mike Chlasciak!
@@SE-fm2nw That was Mike on the solo brother. The dude is a MONSTER on guitar. I'd love to see any of the kids complaining about him not only get up in front of thousands of people, but also play with reckless abandon, while putting on a show as opposed to standing there looking at his shoes.

I want to believe the guitar player tried to give the solo his own touch rather than play note per note (something he could easily do). Then after some may liked or not...
Math may have been off a bit. I was 52 in 2013, five years ago, 57 in 2018. If Rob was 52 in 2003, he turns 67 at the end of August, this year 2018. And so...62 in 2013? :-) Math was not off. Nice. Rob was born in 1951. I was born in 1961. He's August, I'm January but...still almost 10 years older than me. And I deleted my old comment by mistake, so obviously this is not five years ago. August 2018.
Honestly, this is a great performance. Vocally, very difficult.. .and the solo is fantastic. This is NOT a Priest cover band. And it is a live performance. Rob DID sing this song SPOT on in 1990... that was many years after this. No athlete can duplicate their performance 13 years later. THIS man is iconic. He soars ..and tries to reach lofty vocal heights DECADES after studios recordings ...no one else can do this. RIPPER was singing Priest songs many years after they were recorded. He is GIFTED and should be judged on how he moves the needle of rock forward on his own...
Voice is top. The solo is decent. It's live guys, what do you expect? Try listening to Iron Maiden live- anytime in history- it resembles the original. Just resembles.
rob halford is amazing.weather with judas priest,fight,2wo,his brief stints with black sabbath or his solo efforts.seen rob many times in concert.21 times with judas priest,4 times with fight,2 times with 2wo.6 times with black sabbath and 5 times solo.i also seen him show up as a guest for encores with skid row,dio,pantara,tim[ripper]owens,and a female judas priest cover band judas priestess.tremendous vocal range and dynamic performer.true metal fans know and dont disbute....rob is the best.
Halford are like an even heavier meaner more brutal version of Judas Priest. If that's even possible. Bobby Jarzombek is killing it on the drums here. Said it 5 years ago, still holds true in 2018. (Scott Travis with Judas Priest does it better but...it's really his song on drums. Bob still kills this.) No one else can hit Rob's vocal notes. Especially not on this song. Speaking of totally killing it. (I just tried listening to Ken Tamplin "sing" this song. RUclips vocal instructor? Butchered it, more like. He couldn't even start it on the same note or the same pitch or octave. Not even close. Ken dropped his vocal easily one probably two whole octaves. Where Rob goes at the END of Painkiller. NOT the beginning. That would be how NOT to sing Painkiller, Mr. Tamplin. And you teach people to sing? Seriously? You were not even in the vicinity of Rob's astonishingly high range. Do not kid yourself.)
+Karl XIV Johan Personally I don't think his variation was that bad... Frankly Glenn would not be in the level of GOD without K.K.Downing either. - From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.

Nicky T wrong, 26/04 at São Paulo he sang it like a beast! Perfect screaming!
fabiofmc97 25/04 was fucking awesome as well!
Arguably the best live version of Painkiller. Metal God sings it like the studio version
indeed, it was not that good in 1991...
Not even close to the studio version. But still better than other performances of the song he’s done.
Basically, it’s not a bad performance at all. But i don’t think “like the studio version” means what you think it means.
The drums, the guitar, the voice, the song. Painkiller is a meltdown, and this is the best live version.
This concert gives me goosebumps... Halford never sang Painkiller this good before...
He did it pretty good on the 1991 leg of the 'Painkiller' tour and the 'Operation Rock N Roll Tour' leg og it, later in '91. But he has never done it this great since then.

Orochi Candyman I think the same too much clear to be real
Orochi Candyman
studio can edit many tracks that are recorded per instrument live. so they can make noise disapear or audience noise.
Probably the only time Halford was able to truly replicate the original studio recording
all of his performances of this song since 2000-2004 were great. 2005-2010 was his worst period vocally and he still figured out how to pull everything off.

One of the best live performance of Painkiller by Rob.
I see Halford singing...and I know that it's him...but I still can't fathom how that shriek comes out of THAT man.
Man Halford really nailed those high shrieks in this version. Definitely the most consistent live version I've seen for the vocals of this song. Sounds amazing.
Came here from the Ripper Owens version of this song. Cannot believe how much better Halford is on this one.
This song is god damned explosive.
This is by far one of the best vocal performances by Rob! He must really went all out when he did this live performance of Painkiller!
This is the first time I see Halford singing this song fine and not sounding like a cat in a blender.
old comment, but he's getting old. lol. It's not the easiest scream to put on
I can SCREAM this tune easy.. I'm a vocalist.. perform this live already!! Had a crazy crowd attack the stage in Arizona!!.. Fun as shit!!..

Such an amazing vocal performance. Truly one of the most demanding songs from the Judas Priest repertoire and he nails it. Respect.
halford was given a once in a lifetime instrument. everyone can learn to sing but being able to do what rob does is natural talent. he distorts his tone quality while still coloring it and making it resonate. all that plus you can understand every word he says, not something you can say about a lot of metal vocalists. rob is an artist of the highest caliber

killer fuckin band , halford knows what he's doin !!! not quite glen and k.k. though!
So many wrongs notes during the solo....OUCH!
I bet it keeps Glenn Tipton up at night cos of how AWFUL it was
El primer sólo del guitarra és ESTRATOSFERICO ¡¡¡¡¡
This was phenomenal!!
2:17 lol
Embarassing
Halford are like an even heavier meaner more brutal version of Judas Priest.
If that's even possible.
Bobby Jarzombek is killing it on the drums here.
Said it 5 years ago, still holds true in 2018.
(Scott Travis with Judas Priest does it better but...it's really his song on drums. Bob still kills this.)
No one else can hit Rob's vocal notes.
Especially not on this song. Speaking of totally killing it.
(I just tried listening to Ken Tamplin "sing" this song.
RUclips vocal instructor? Butchered it, more like.
He couldn't even start it on the same note or the same pitch or octave.
Not even close.
Ken dropped his vocal easily one probably two whole octaves.
Where Rob goes at the END of Painkiller.
NOT the beginning.
That would be how NOT to sing Painkiller, Mr. Tamplin.
And you teach people to sing? Seriously?
You were not even in the vicinity of Rob's astonishingly high range.
Do not kid yourself.)
Rob Halford is GODDDDD
The beauty and the Priest ! Judas Priest !
Its music is a painkiller indeed .
Good performance, but pretty obviously overdubbed in the studio.
vocals on top, but the solo was hideous
+Karl XIV Johan Personally I don't think his variation was that bad... Frankly Glenn would not be in the level of GOD without K.K.Downing either.
- From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.
i agree, the Glenn Tipton solo wasn't the best but the K.K Downing solo sounded great
ye, someone should slap that guitarist in the face for ruining the best singing of Painkiller ever. With a chair.
This isnt judas priest, this is Halford. The guitarist made his own version of the solo. And his version was good
Ever heard of improvisation? The solo sounded great ^_^ Metal Mike is no Glenn Tipton, but he sure can rock out! :D
This is the best live version of Painkiller by Rob for sure.
the best painkiller concert sing of rob halford
