Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I had to do a vocal coach reaction to
Judas Priest obviously the singer is Rob Halford and I chose the song "Painkiller".
Now I did a version of this I'll put it in the description so you can check it
out. I sang mine more full voice more like a belted chest voice and he uses
more of a mixed voice falsetto mixed voice or reinforced head
voice so but just a maniac. A little bit of backstory on this yeah so grew up
in the 80s and I remember you know seeing them several times one time at
the LA forum and it's really funny I mean the guy has such amazing stage
presence. He just walks in actually the band's on for a minute and he comes in
on a Harley and he sticks the microphone shoves it down the tailpipe and it's
just like the coolest thing and he rides it in just parks it there doesn't even have to
do a thing the audience is just going absolutely bonkers and the show was the
one of the loudest shows I've ever seen but he held his vocals man perfectly
every song all it was like 90 minutes long it was a crazy show. But anyway
without further ado let's uh go ahead and rock out to "Painkiller" here we go.
Now I have to make one quick comment that drum intro, every club band in LA
especially rock rock bands, it was sort of their warmup
you know their soundcheck song. Every drummer had to do that that lick to
sort of prove to everybody how great they were so that that one intro lick
set the precedent for a lot of drummers that were just you know sound checking
and showing the arena or the congre..the congregation yeah
that too. Showing the club you know what they were
made of so I find that interesting here we go.
Hard song to do man.
Listen to those double bass drums.
Crazy energy man. Wow drummer, band, guitar players. Just energy for days it's
really fun. Good tones too. This is again one of those bands it just rocks your
face off.
See notice he's not running around on the on stage like a maniac he struts.
He's very confident, very strutlike.
It takes a lot of breath, a lot of breath control to do that when I mean that was
you know and when the very end if he does the end note. I hope he finishes
the whole thing I haven't previewed this but um I remember going singing to the
end of this song. I thought I was gonna pass out. I mean it's a long, hard, heavy
note to sing so anyway especially with coming off doing the
the whole song.
See Rob he's just strutting back and forth
Yes we had to have really long instrumental breaks in the 80s
especially with the long guitar solos actually the 70s kind of started it for the
most part and then it spilled over into the 80s but at least the guitar playing
is awe..all the all these players are just fun and awesome to watch.
Rob just comes out (sings). I love that.
Go Rob
Ok we got an epic ending coming up here guys so you got to stay tuned for the
ending here we go.
By the way Rob I like your jacket it's pretty cool.
He's just standing there
with such confidence. You know.
You guys ready hopefully he's gonna do the long note we'll see.
Come on Rob.
He cheated anyway on my version you'll check it out,
I did the like the album version and the whole song is a really tough piece
to sing that a lot of breath control, you feel like your heads going to
explode at sometimes. Check out my version in the description tag I do the
whole very big ending and try to sing along with it see
how long it is. But anyway guys um these guys were incredible every time I've
seen him. I remember even being outside the forum one time I was in another band
we were flyering and this was actually in Anaheim California but we were
flyering and you hear his voice for blocks it was just
(sings) it was just like oh man and you could hear the motorcycle inside the
Coliseum and stuff. Anyway Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy that
was Judas Priest "Painkiller" Rob Halford and until next time peace out.
