yes nice of you to say. I like that you given respect to Glenn. stained class is my favorite album.so many great ones. hell bent for leather. sin after sin. painkiller, screaming.i saw the screaming tour twice I.n .j. & n.y. it was dec 2 and dec 22.i will never forget those 2 days were the best days of my life!!.
A Touch Of Evil is another super-emotional Glenn solo for me. Some faster duels with KK as well... Ram It Down, Painkiller, Sentinel...doesn't get better than that,
Dont take me wrong, if normally you dont have an emotional moment when listening to a guitar solo is because is something wrong with you, man, Glen for sure one of the best but we have a lot of great guitarrists that delivery amazing emotional solos, thats why i love heavy metal, i am very happy that i cannot choose "the best One" i even dont care witch one is the best.
Slayer lead Kerry King has many interviews with him saying this Solo made him become a harder work player. Blew him away , his favorite by Priest / Glenn
I was 16 when I first went to Judas Priest in Amsterdam, which was in 1980 if I remember. in 2019 I went to a Priest concert for the last time in the Netherlands, and Glenn played 3 more songs, that was amazing. it is and remains one of my all time favorite bands. 🤘🇳🇱🤘
I've been saying this for YEARS. Glenn is, hands down, the most criminally underrated and ignored guitarist in the world, IMO. The world is just fucked up. We have to hear BTL and LAM a gazillion times (I HATE those songs), but never something like this. Or A Touch of Evil or All Guns Blazing. Sadly, Priest has never gotten their due. To me, Glenn's one step below Eddie, but I've worshipped Glenn since I was 11 years old. I'm 52, now.
Arguably, the greatest guitar solo EVER. Period. Criminally-underrated. Glenn is one of the greatest of all time. This solo almost brings me to tears every time.
ok,so page did his thing first, ,,,,,,,,but time line wise, it was really by only a few years,, the solos on sad wings totally smoke anything page was doing, and a thousand times cleaner than zep, zep did their thing and it was cool, but for me priest takes the guitar solos prize any day
Great solo but greatest ever? I'll name 3 that for the same reason almost anyone can pick out who it is, there are so many that would not even know this song. Stairway To Heaven (as sloppy as Paige is at times, this is spot on even the outro), Beat It, (EVH enough said), All Along The Watch Tower (Hendrix) and then there are about another 100 honorable mentions.
Glenn is the OG. Super underrated. He can shred and has written some of the most memorable riffs and solos of all time. He deserves so much more recognition
A lot of humility on that stage. How gracious , Rob standing stage left and leaving Glenn to play. A truly magnificent performance of this wonderful ballad. Thankyou.
Rob is off stage because he drinks hot tea with lemon and honey as well as ice water to protect his throat. Then, just before he comes back out, he gets a piece of eucalyptus gum to chew on stage. He does it during every long solo.
Hes so good. I've looked up to his playing since I've been a kid. I used to borrow my uncles VHS tape of Priest Live. I'd stay up late watching it on the big TV when my folks would go to bed.
Can we all just appreciate how great a bass player Ian Hill is? This entire band's music has been in my ears since I was 14 years old - Love the Priest and so happy Richie is on the fast track back
The only member to officially stand underneath the 50 years of metal. Thank you Mr Ian Hill. You never left and have Always stood your ground. You are a true metal God.
I love how older bands talk to their audiences and really show their appreciation for them. Rob does that throughout this show and I think of RJD who absolutely adored his fans. It seems like new metal bands mostly come on stage, barely say anything to their audience, and when they do talk, it's filled with "fuck this" and "fuck that" and they really don't say anything meaningful.
Could you tell me some of the bands you've seen who say "fuck this and that"? I haven't seen a show in years so I'm wondering who the bands are that you're talking about.
saw both bands 4-5 times in their absolute heyday's.......holy diver,sacred heart(3rd row golds) defenders of the faith days and onward and they RELATED AND INVOLVED THE AUDIENCE
I think when you first start out, the focus is all about the music. It's not till you feel comfortable with your act that you start engaging the audience through story telling.
Well,Its the greatest metal song of all time...But there are way better songs if we talk about all the genres....Try Echoes-Pink Floyd, Epitaph-King Crimson and Rajaz-Camel...
I remember back in 1990 when I was still living in Texas and I watched on TV the trial that Judas Priest had to go through because of 2 irresponsible brats that decided after smoking weed and getting blind drunk, to kill themselves. After I moved to Ohio in 1991 and in 1995 when I bought my first CD player, I went to Camelot music and Stained Class was the first Judas Priest album I ever bought. Because after the court trial I wanted to find out what the hub bub was about. And I'm still here after all these years and countless number of hours listening to that absolutely awesome album!! I just recently bought my first Judas Priest t shirt from their Amazon store and Stained Class it was!!
One of best Judas Priest songs. First time i heard it on Greatest 100 guitar solos compilation and i listen and play it on guitar ever since. Great vocal, Glenn and Richie are awesome on guitars.🎶🎸☮
Not exactly. He can't hit the ultra high notes but he gained a lot of skill in the lower ranges that he didn't have before ripper owens was in the band.
@@vagabondwastrel2361 Agreed. Ronnie James Dio would be another great example. Don Dokken and Bon Jovi would be anti examples. Axel Rose and Seb Bach are still fighting, sometimes they can, sometimes they can't.
@@vagabondwastrel2361 Eric Adams got progressively worse. King is the only singer in Rock and metal who sings the exact same way like he did 40 years ago and does the falsetto effortlessly. No one can do it. Not even Dio or Halford
I fuckin´ hate people (one of them is my new colleague) who say that heavy metal is not metal at all and only hardcore, black or prog metal is metal... This is pure fuckin´ metal! Heavy fuckin´ metal!!!
Mr Glenn Timpton : a real prince of the guitar, always on his red trousers… Rob: there are no words for this huge frontman and lyricist THE TRUE METAL GODS 🎶🖤
We are so lucky that this concert was recorded. Both band and sound crew was spot on. This will never be out done. A masterpiece video sound and performance.
Sad and heavenly at the same time...thank you Rob for lending people, that have fallen in the dark pit of hopelessness, your voice. May every step of yours be blessed.
I love how Rob's lower registers have grown so much richer and more powerful as he has matured. Yet he can still pull off a sustained shriek with full intensity. I almost like this better than the studio version and that's saying something. It has a raspy maturity to it that I love. First time I heard this version I didn't realize that Glenn had been stricken with Parkinson's and that adds to the absolutely amazing level of this performance. One of our best friends is struggling with Parkinson's and this gives me hope.
Of course, Heavy Metal was invented in the U.K. and of course, the best voice for that genre of music is Mr Halford's. Happy birthday Rob. Thanks for your music. Greetings from Mexico.
Like who? Marty's technical skills are insane, 5 times Glenn and KK's but technique doesnt write great songs or solos, I'll add that solo is more of a bunch of exercises vs the phrasing here. I'll add most don't even know the song you are referring to.
Rob's vocals kill this. Love how he stands aside to let Glenn rip the greatest ever solo front and centre. For all you listening - i hope you have the system to warrant this and feel it in your bones. My 4yr old daughter's teacher says to me; Effie has been back chatting today and is screaming "i'll decide, not you". Proud Dad moment :)
He'd had enough he couldn't take anymore He found a place in his mind and slammed the door No matter how they tried they couldn't understand They washed and dressed him fed him by hand Yeah i've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind Im free to speak with my own kind This is my life this is my life I'll decide not you Withdrawn he'd sit there staring into space No sign of life would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled it seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him goodbye and then he died Yeah i've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind Im free to speak with my own kind This is my life this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin it's not fit for living in Yeah I will start again it can take forever and ever and ever and ever But I shall win How many like him are there still Who to us all seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands blank and lost Is knowledge worth this bitter cost Yeah i've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind Im free to speak with my own kind This is my life this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for living in Beyond the realms of death
5:37 that got me. Glenn Tipton solo to remember
Glenn's solo is still one of the all-time greatest solos ever.
that¡s THE TRUTH
Yup. Up there with Pink Floyd's Time and Comfortably Numb.
A complete lesson in feel, technic, and composition!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
Never a truer word spoken.
Heavy Metal was invented by Judas!
Nah. Then Sabbath wouldn’t be heavy metal and they are.
How glen pulled that off with Parkinson’s is a testament to his resilience and ability as a guitarist
So true. Glenn has solidified his place as one of the greatest electric guitarists ever.
Totally agree! I have always felt that the solo from this song is one of the best!! Well put together ( Glenn's solo )
yes nice of you to say. I like that you
given respect to Glenn. stained class is my favorite album.so many great ones. hell bent for leather. sin after sin. painkiller, screaming.i saw the screaming tour twice I.n .j. & n.y. it was dec 2 and dec 22.i will never forget those 2 days were the best days of my life!!.
Woe
The Metal God's keep him going!
🤘
HALFORD, The best voice in heavy metal.
Bar none
Yes definitely ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
With Dio
@@sgspecialebony Could Dio sing Victim of Changes in his time? And I love and respect Dio, Dickinson, Tate, Kiske... you name them.
What about dickinson? Could he sing this song?
3:50 thats downpicking riffin men, classic heavy metal, class lads, at their 60s, 70s doing it heavy
How is it at 70 he still has a voice like that.
Simply an incredible song!🤘🤘
Required listening for every metal fan.
Greatest metal vocalist for almost half a century... let that sink in
I don’t normally have an emotional moment when listening to a guitar solo, but when I do, it’s Glenn Tiptons solo in Beyond the Realms of Death.
Can feel every note he hits in this solo
A Touch Of Evil is another super-emotional Glenn solo for me. Some faster duels with KK as well... Ram It Down, Painkiller, Sentinel...doesn't get better than that,
Dont take me wrong, if normally you dont have an emotional moment when listening to a guitar solo is because is something wrong with you, man, Glen for sure one of the best but we have a lot of great guitarrists that delivery amazing emotional solos, thats why i love heavy metal, i am very happy that i cannot choose "the best One" i even dont care witch one is the best.

The best song ever written a performed.
and
My humble opinion, this is the best version of the song I've ever heard.
I see Judas Priest..
I click.
Simple man.
Lol
Simple but works, good System you have.
Yup
I see a fellow priest fan.
With an awesome comment.
I click thumbs up.
:)
the most heaviest and beautiful ballad of Heavy Metal
and with a very special drummer......Les Binks....43 years of Stained Class album...yeahhhh
And Only Robert Halford can sing !
SHE is another good one as well
My fav
Great one, but my favourite is Return to Serenity by Testament. But both awesome.
Luv these guys .lemmy sure didnt take a backseat
I was 15 when I was introduced to Judas Priest , it changed the way I heard and listened to music forever , I am 57 now , thank you.
I'm four years younger - but anything else is exactly the same! Thank you.
🤘🏼 *You & me, both.* 🤘🏼
I was 16 and am now 58. They've always been one of best live bands. Seen them many times- my favorite was either Defenders Tour or Screaming Tour.
I was 16 when I first went to Judas Priest in Amsterdam, which was in 1980 if I remember. in 2019 I went to a Priest concert for the last time in the Netherlands, and Glenn played 3 more songs, that was amazing.
it is and remains one of my all time favorite bands.
🤘🇳🇱🤘
12 and 51, I can state that they were my favorite band then and now...kinda hard to let go of your first love :)
Doesn't get any better than this
Why are solos like November Rain and Stairway to Heaven more well known than this.. This is the GOAT..without question
I've been saying this for YEARS. Glenn is, hands down, the most criminally underrated and ignored guitarist in the world, IMO. The world is just fucked up. We have to hear BTL and LAM a gazillion times (I HATE those songs), but never something like this. Or A Touch of Evil or All Guns Blazing. Sadly, Priest has never gotten their due. To me, Glenn's one step below Eddie, but I've worshipped Glenn since I was 11 years old. I'm 52, now.
well for one because the songs were a lot bigger hits lol
Arguably, the greatest guitar solo EVER. Period. Criminally-underrated. Glenn is one of the greatest of all time. This solo almost brings me to tears every time.
ok,so page did his thing first, ,,,,,,,,but time line wise, it was really by only a few years,, the solos on sad wings totally smoke anything page was doing, and a thousand times cleaner than zep, zep did their thing and it was cool, but for me priest takes the guitar solos prize any day
Have you ever listened to either Are You Experienced or Easy Ridsr by Jimi Hendrix?
nice but nah
Great solo but greatest ever? I'll name 3 that for the same reason almost anyone can pick out who it is, there are so many that would not even know this song. Stairway To Heaven (as sloppy as Paige is at times, this is spot on even the outro), Beat It, (EVH enough said), All Along The Watch Tower (Hendrix) and then there are about another 100 honorable mentions.
@@johnvirga6181 I said "arguably." But I'll still go to my grave saying it's in the top 5.
no one ever looked "cooler" playing a solo than Tipton...most underrated ever
and with parkinsons its truly amazing he can still play that well
Glenn is the OG. Super underrated. He can shred and has written some of the most memorable riffs and solos of all time. He deserves so much more recognition
You need to check out Django Reinhardt, my man. 1930's and stlll unsurpassed.
Hellyeah!
Beautiful song
A lot of humility on that stage. How gracious , Rob standing stage left and leaving Glenn to play. A truly magnificent performance of this wonderful ballad. Thankyou.
Why was it so gracious, letting him play his own solo?
@@9ckr716 "Why was it so gracious, letting him play his own solo?"
Is the opposite of Ozzy not being able to not sabotage Tony`s solos
Great post...Seems like this band has always had the "touch of class" where many others do not...
Rob is off stage because he drinks hot tea with lemon and honey as well as ice water to protect his throat. Then, just before he comes back out, he gets a piece of eucalyptus gum to chew on stage. He does it during every long solo.
The one I was waiting for..
Beyond the realms of death..
Amazing song. Love the profile pic!
That was almost as good as seeing them in concert in the 1970's.
This one everyone was waiting for
Iyer bhai. Vanakkam
The solos on this song are epic. It’s a masterpiece.
Mr. Tipton is great!
Dude, your pp looks like Gordon Ramsay and Kevin Spacey combined!
Hes so good. I've looked up to his playing since I've been a kid. I used to borrow my uncles VHS tape of Priest Live. I'd stay up late watching it on the big TV when my folks would go to bed.
@@Robster-Craw Cool story bro. I stole mom's car to pick up that VHS tape at a mall.
It makes it all the sadder he can't play anymore.
Epic solo!
Glenn Tipton's melodic phrasing and vibrato skills are timeless. My absolute favorite guitarist.
Who else is 56 banging their heads to this?
Only 51 ;)
@@peterheldeskog5043 now 58 thanks times a ticking
His voice is so beautiful and powerful that it doesn't even seem real! Happy Birthday, Metal God!!

I think when you first start out, the focus is all about the music. It's not till you feel comfortable with your act that you start engaging the audience through story telling.
yeah Dio was the bedt Rob Halford right up there with him
The best metal ballad
My God..............this is the best song ever written by anyone, anytime, anywhere................tell me I'm wrong.
Absolutely!
Well,Its the greatest metal song of all time...But there are way better songs if we talk about all the genres....Try Echoes-Pink Floyd, Epitaph-King Crimson and Rajaz-Camel...

Happy birthday metal god!
never lost his powerful voice.
#mylife
I know the main 3 you can't replicate. But you can't forget Ian Hill
My God, Halford Long live the mother who gave birth to you!
Glenn's greatest solo and one of the best solos of all time .
HALFORD & TIPTON. 'Nuff said.
God I miss music like this filled with emotion and power.

One of the best ballads not only in metal but also in music in general.
Best version by far.
That Glenn`s solo though... You nailed that sir.
They must have done something really great because so many wonderful peolple are here listening to a song from 1978 !!!
Their 2nd best song ever
One of best Judas Priest songs. First time i heard it on Greatest 100 guitar solos compilation and i listen and play it on guitar ever since. Great vocal, Glenn and Richie are awesome on guitars.🎶🎸☮
Thank you very much LES BINKS!!! And sorry Rob, HEAVY METAL IS BEYOND BORDERS...and the realms of death.

Ian Hill!!! Respect!
The first metal band I ever listened to in 79 when I was ten years old and 50 years later they are still going strong, Priest forever.
We are so lucky that this concert was recorded. Both band and sound crew was spot on. This will never be out done. A masterpiece video sound and performance.
Such an iconic solo by Tipton.
This is beyond the best version while Rob voice has grown like a fine wine. I can't believe my ears every time!
These guys are legends for eternity.
Brilliant song brilliantly performed and not a wheelchair in sight
Judas preist is the 👌 👍
Judas and Maiden seen them many times. 2 loudest & clear Metal bands ever. Better than studio. And I’ve seen a bunch
There is absolute magic in Judas Priest. Still rocking after all these years. Never sounded better. 🤘
Sad and heavenly at the same time...thank you Rob for lending people, that have fallen in the dark pit of hopelessness, your voice. May every step of yours be blessed.
Just saw Priest for the 3rd time last week. Got covid. But worth it. Halford fucking sounds so amazing still at 70
My favorite band of all time.
The best. Undeniable, The Fucking best.
GREATTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ULTIMATE PRIEST!!!!!!!!!
Priest has been at it for 50 years. Rob still has the best voice in the business ☮️
Still better than 100 % of bands today.
MY GOD......................................................
Happy birthday Rob, keep breaking the law 🤘🤘
I adore glenn.
Richie looks like Randy Rhoads and Zakk’s love child.
Yes)))))
Exactly what I was thinking. If you squint your eyes a bit, I see Randy with his white Les Paul.
Richie plays this solo phantastic!
He is....
First glance: Hell, I thought it was Myles Kennedy!
I love how Rob's lower registers have grown so much richer and more powerful as he has matured. Yet he can still pull off a sustained shriek with full intensity. I almost like this better than the studio version and that's saying something. It has a raspy maturity to it that I love. First time I heard this version I didn't realize that Glenn had been stricken with Parkinson's and that adds to the absolutely amazing level of this performance.

Greetings from Mexico.
FUCKING MASTER HALFORD!!!!
Truly the Godfathers of all Metal!
While many consider Tornado of souls solo to be the greatest solo of metal,i always picked this one.

One awesome song KKs Priest brought me here..
Glen is a Metal God too👍👍👍
Pure Metal Masterpiece - just as mind blowing now as it was back in ‘78. Genius.
get well soon Richie!
He'd had enough he couldn't take anymore
He found a place in his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried they couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him fed him by hand
Yeah i've left the world behind
I am safe here in my mind
Im free to speak with my own kind
This is my life this is my life
I'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit there staring into space
No sign of life would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled it seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him goodbye and then he died
Yeah i've left the world behind
I am safe here in my mind
Im free to speak with my own kind
This is my life this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin it's not fit for living in
Yeah I will start again it can take forever and ever and ever and ever
But I shall win
How many like him are there still
Who to us all seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands blank and lost
Is knowledge worth this bitter cost
Yeah i've left the world behind
I am safe here in my mind
Im free to speak with my own kind
This is my life this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for living in
Beyond the realms of death
decide keep and die...the fire oh the fire...in my mind in your soul...and all in all just breaking the law!
Heavy metal was born in the UK.....with fuckin Priest!!!!!!
This song has got me through a lot recently
This one sums it up for me...for why its the Priest, the Beast
I've been waiting 15 years for a RUclips version that does the live version of this song justice. The wait paid off.
