  Thanks for watching. I have to admit the Halford band was pretty decent. Basically just a Priest copy cat band fronted by Rob Halford but pretty decent.  Twin guitars, fast drumming, pretty good vocals,ect. A big improvement over Fight and that juggernaut of a metal assult knows as Two, the so called "Metal God " at his finest! HaHaHA!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1nA5cxJ1Ao  HAHAHAHA!!!  Hey that Betrayal video would make a good concept for the next Saw movie! What would they call it ? Saw 14, Saw 15! HAHAHA!!!!  Seriously though, Halfod was pretty good but that Judas Priest Rapid Fire video shows they had more raw energy than Halford any day.  Now if you or anyone else (devil's_ child) want to crawl out of the box and hear some  insane vocals try this one by Ripper's Beyond Fear.

Now now! Both of you ('Child and guido) are being silly. Expecting a rational, mature or intelligent response is asking FAR too much. The boy certainly has a right to his opinion. Asking for anything more than that is asking for way more than he can give. I, for one, feel he has done an admirable job in exposing his thoughts and ability to reason. Let's not "push the envelope", as it were.

On the subject of the video, guido you are a FAR better man than I am, for I could not make it through the entire thing. Just does not have much to offer for me. I recall that my second wife worked security here in Vegas for a Priest show in the late 90's. I do not remember the place, but Ripper was the vocalist and she made a comment that stuck with me to this day.  She said, "It was like watching a good Priest Tribute Band". Her words, not mine. But, how telling this one sentence really is, no? 

'Child, I think you are onto something with your "antagonist" remark. Well done.

You said it mate! .... Listening to "Ripper"... (someone tell me where he got that name from because it sounds ridiculous....). gives me a headache. Halfords voice sounds heavenly no matter what era or what register he uses. He doesn't have to scream to impress me, Owens sounds and looks like he's trying hard to impress the audience. He may be able to sing, but there is now way you can compare him. Let us not forget what the actual question is here: "Who is the better vocalist?".... It has nothing to do with who's your favourite, it is who is better... and the answer is clear even if you like Owens more. 

To add... Halford and Fight kick major metal arse.....

While I appreciate the "Mr." moniker / address of respect, nope. You are not going to convince me with that video. Watched it all the way through which reminded me that I have the whole concert bootleg! Watched it ONCE. The odd thing that even reminded me that I had it is that he laughingly has "Ripper" written on the back of his shirt! LOL!

Don't get me wrong. I like Owens as a singer just not as the lead of Judas Priest (OR Iced Earth, for that matter). The fact that he is younger and can sing falsetto does NOT put him in the same league as the Metal God himself. Even in the lower registers he uses today, Halford can convey more pure emotion in both voice and stage presence today than screechy / hoppy Owens could ever hope in his days with Priest. Compare Fight and, my personal fav, Halford band.

Ok..... I have asked you this before and have still not gained a plausible response from you...... Why are you so loyal to the Ripper Owens cause?.... Are you just choosing his side to be the antagonist?, Do you feel you have to be the minority to make a point? What do you have against Rob Halford?.... None of your responses so far have even made me think.... and somehow I feel me making this post is futile, I sense no intelligence comming from your direction.. So go ahead make some smart arse response... It just confirms your lack of maturity and intelligence. Prove me wrong if you will.............

as simple as saying that the ripper albums have the record of less sales all over the world for those who listen to judas....at least in the JP world...actually demolition was the one with  less copies sold...trying to compare halford is a sin!!
[HylandJames] Saturday, November 29, 2008 7:55:11 AM 

Ripper did a fine job, but having listened to nothing but Priest everyday since Halford has been back, Ripper sounds like he is yelling with a lot of effort, and adding random screams where they don't belong, especially on the original stuff.

It just comes natural to Halford, and he knows where to change or add a scream when doing things live that give a new, yet natural twist to a classic song.

That and Halford is just a 100 times better....

In my experience, it felt like the 80's were done and a new decade was begining. Still, anything from Judas Priest was far better than anything else I bought at the time. I think Tim Owens had his chance at "American Idol" and won. Thanks to him I saw Priest in the Jugulator tour and wow, I was sober....shit...that's bad.
Better drunk at an Halford's gig than sober at a Tim Owen's...
Am I making sense?
:-D

I was devastated when Rob left,but elated when they came back with Ripper,now did he sound like Rob,no but close enough to pull it off. I like the stuff from them from that time frame,after all it was the same other four guys you know!! But to put into words the joy I felt when i heard that Rob had returned,there isn`t enough room on this site for that long of a post. I stuck with them thru it all as Glenn and KK are what drew me to this band anyway.

You can either like the original or the high definition copy.

What do you choose?
[devils_child] Friday, November 28, 2008 8:42:12 PM 
That's ok.... we're all laughing at you and your ridiculous attempt to argue the point.....

Well shoot Tex, im afraid he mimics Halford's style, he can scream very well but he never has or ever will sound "just" like THE METAL GOD. To numerodoucho, that is the most ridiculous statement ive ever heard on this site. Wow words can not express how dumb that sounds.
