You think THAT'S outstanding??
Doesn't even sound like PRIEST...
And the chorus " RAPID FIRE, BETWEEN THE EYES" sounds ridiculous..
Owens is good and has heavy range but doesn't sound like ROB except for the screams which are sung with down tuning..

Really, no disrespect to Mad Max but is this even a real question???????????
Rob is a God!!!!
I think they are one of the first Heavy metal bands to sound live as they did on their albums, Unleashed in the East.
You can't get better than ROB!!!!!!!!!!! |

Well my dear friends. This question it's very bored to our friend and great vocalist Tim Ripper Owens, first he has contributed so much to the Priest with all their vocal performance, but Halford is HARDCORE, he is the essence of the band and of the Heavy Metal too maybe without him Judas Priest never taked the world and we're not here talking about who's the best, second with all respect Ripper Owens is a merelly copy of Halford, he must find his way, Halford created a unique and irreverent style he is The Metal God. And finally few are the vocalists nowadays able to be in a stage over the 50 years old and still sing loud as halford does yet. He is the great one.
Bye dear friends,
Think Heavy Metal,
Think Judas Priest. |

Yes. It is. I have always said that you can really hear the passion in a good vocalist. It is SO important. There are days when I do not bother to work on my music because I do not feel inspiration. It simply must be there. It leads to the passion and everyone knows when the passion is not there!!

I liked the movie when i first saw it, i'll admit, but i was like 13, and i had never heard of Priest. After i got into Priest i heard the movie was based on them, i watched it again and liked it alot less. My old band wanted to do a cover of a steel dragon song, living the life i think it was.Could find a decent version to download. Thats one thing I'm not trying to say by all of this though. I like Tim Owens, he's a very very talented dude, his work with Iced Earth is good, and his stuff with Priest was pretty good too, its just ya, his high vocals rub me the wrong way, i can't get past them, The Metal God is the only one who can sing the higher stuff to my ears. I'm still trying in vain to get past some harder vocals. I really like Arch enemy's lead singer voice now(took me awhile), she rules. But i still can't get past the dude who sings in Inflames. Both bands have insane guitar players, and kick ass, but the harder vocals usaully rub me the wrong way also.
Another peice of Owens stuff i really liked( except the very begining note) His cover of Mr. Crowley, that was a really cool cover.

IC, i thought he came out after leaving Priest, that movie pissed me off with the way they made Halfrod seem like a sissy. I didnt know that he wasnt allowed to make other music because of his contract though, thanks for the info. I bet Owens little worshipper sure loved that movie though. I always saw Halford leaving the band though, not the other way around.

How about the song off of Sad wings of Destiny? you know the song that Halford invented...... and used his vocal ability to design the way the song would be sung? I have heard enough of Owens singing to last a life time man, and i can't get over the one fact of his voice, to shrill and ear pericing. Halford is still the only singer in my opinion who can pull off the high octaves without it sounding shrill and annoying. Owens voice is very shrill and very annoying when he goes that high. I'm sorry i know you have a pretty big hard on for the guy, you've made that clear for pretty much the entire website, while at the same time coming off as almost a homophobe for ripping on Halford so much. If you honestly got it that bad for Tim owens maybe you should hit up the Tim Owens Noticeboard. oh wait is there even one of those?? well i take it from your name your really only care about one persons opinion.

| The fact is though that Owens is a copy. He may not be so much now, but thats how he started. Though he doesnt sound exactly like Halford thats what he was aiming for. Its funny how some people (not very many, but a few) claim that Owens is better than Rob is, and i just laugh my ass off. Take any track that Tim covered of the old Priest with Halford singing. Look for the tracks where Rob stretches out the last line in the song, time how long it goes for. Compare it to the tracks Owens sings on. All the ones ive found Halford goes longer and stronger. I'm sorry, I like Tim owens, he's very talented but Rob Halford will always kick his ass. To much talent for a mortal, that why he is a god! |

He's the closest thing to Rob in his younger years. NO ONE can replace Rob, but Ripper did do a good job. I Don't think singing Priest is Ripper's best forte but he did do a decent job. Now he's free to be himself. Great for him.

Rob, at his age, outsings and outclasses Ripper.
I wish Tim all the luck in the world on his own endevers. I know he will do very well for himself.

Even ppl who havent even heard a Tim Owens song will still say tht he sucks, i hate ppl like tht. Tim was good. but in the end Rob Halford has a better range and is just a better vocalist...and songwriter. lol |

| Considering Halford is the best metal singer of all-time, this is a pretty one-sided question. |

| Halford 100% Halford is the one, the only original screamer. Owens has a voice ill give him that he can scream, but his scream is just to shrill. Rubs me the wrong way. Rob Halford has always been music to the ears. |

have put out, but it’s a good record... I prefer the songs to be more... not
so laid back. But, Judas Priest always released different records, they changed
with every album." |

Ripper was an amazing vocalist and frontman and had a helluvalotta talent, ive seen him once in concert, but Halford simply has more range and more charisma, and JP had way more great songs with Halford than Ripper, altho riper had some great songs....my question is who is better in Iron Maiden....
Paul Di'anno....
Bruce Dickinson...
or Blaze Bayley.

I was looking around a bit on youtube and I found a live concert of Tim and one of Rob , both singing " turbo lover" , Tim started horrible and than he sang the wrong words !!!! No-one can beat Rob , they can try but will fail !! |

| Halford. No question. Ripper was great with the band, and it was great to see the band keep going without Rob, but Rob is the man for the job. I'm pretty sure Tim even said that years ago. |
