Thanks Nupe,I thought it would be a great idea too although Hellrider hates the idea haha! I know Rob can ocasionally pull of the signature sream sometimes like when Hellrider saw them live 3 or 4 years ago and I believe every word he says too,but I know he can't pull it off every show,so why not just let Glenn or Ken pinch a harmonic note and drop it with the tremolo bar,it would be kick ass,and Painkiller would be something to look forwards to live again.

On a more serious note, I agree that Rob has never managed to do a proper job with Painkiller when it's performed live. He did an OK job in 1991 (Rock In Rio bootleg) but can't do it at all nowadays.

| Well i am partial to painkiller live,heard it 2 of the last 3 tours and like most all songs of that era they drag,remember he is older,and breaking the law is a simple song that has been on their playlist forever! But when in concert they rock and thats the final thing we want! |

How about comparing the 2 songs live nowadays in 2010-2011 ?? I'd take "Breaking The Law" 100% over Painkiller as somebody said a while ago....Rob's voice on Painkiller live these days sounds like an osteridge being tormented by a blow torch!

both , they are 2 great songs from the best band of the universe ¡

| tricky territory...2 very different tunes, kinda hard to compare...Breaking the Law is very straightforward and basic, but catchy as hell, the stuff you'd go nuts for at an 80's dance at school, (which is a good thing regardless) but Painkiller is more like, I'm in the car and I want to blow my eardrums and bang my head against the steering wheel |

| Breaking the Law is a simplistic song, done to be catchy and appeal to largest audiences, but Painkiller is a metal anthem!! personally I prefer Metal Meltdown |

|
| Yeah, why bother to compare. They are both epic, I am personally more inclined toward The Sentinel but, thats not to say one is better than the other. Everyone has their own opinion. |

|
| Why bother to campare the two anyway...they are BOTH AWESOME SONGS by the PRIEST....'nuff said |

|
| That was the must idiot reply from a heavy metal fan! Breaking the the law is top 40 song its ok but not even in the same league with PAINKILLER like this topic! |
