Who the fuck is Tim Owens? LOL... Kiddin' but seriously, I don't care who you compare Halford to, he has my vote every time. HALFORD FOR PRESIDENT!

Actually I like Owens as a singer, he did a great job filling in for Rob; but he is nothing compared to the Metal God.

Wow, I didn't think that this thread would still be alive. That being said I will share my OPINION. I personally enjoy some of the Ripper material as well as some of his work with Beyond Fear. But please let me make it very clear. I first was impressed with Priest because of Halford's vocals and the twin guitar riffs of Tipton and Downing. Owens was a "fill in" who hopefully finds his own way in the world of Metal. Now please................................................................................................
LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!!!

Sorry forgot a point here, better vocalist? Listen to the very end vocal note. ORIGINAL HALFORD VERSION, that "SECOND TO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Compare that to Owens, Second to NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE.
Im pretty sure Halford got his Deity status from the length and quality of his vocals, something Owens tries very very....... very heard to duplicate. READ THAT D-U-P-L-I-C-A-T-E???? HHmmmm imagine that.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU FUCKING DOUCHE BAG, HAHAHAHAHA im sorry but wow, ok i had heard the hype about Owens version of Rapid fire but i had never botherd to hear it for myself. Man that is so weak, thats the only word i can find to describe it, the lack of emotion he has through most of the song, he sounds like a robot programed to say things....oh wait he is. Get the fucking clue buddy, you hero lives in the shadow of the God that made him. What would tims owens be without Judas Priest and Rob Halford, he'd be a douche bag like you, some unknown. Listen you can talk up your dream boy all you want but the is a Judas Priest Chat room. Whether you want to accept it or not ROB HALFORD IS JUDAS PRIEST. You can either get that through your head or go suck his dick on a Beyond fear chat room with the other 4 members.

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.

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.....

[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?

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.

Thats what i'd like to know aswell. Judas Priest is Rob Halford, as Rob Halford is Judas Priest. No one on the face of the planet will ever, ever sound exactly like Rob Halford. But there always be ones who try. The period where he became singer for Priest he had a pretty powerful voice, but he had 3 decades that really affected the way his voice sounded. Each album he altered his sound to meet what that specific album achieved. I can't think of single other vocalist that has achieved such an enormous drastic change that slowly evolved into what has become known as the Metal God. Owens will always sadly live in the shadow of Rob Halford. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by devils_child from Friday, November 28, 2008 12:48:38 AM)

he could be refering to himself, I dont know if he has ever applied for Mensa, I know DF is quite smart, as to the question of him joining mensa, well, I wouldnt waste my time with some of the people that I know as members, but its up to him. I am sure he has a significantly beter chance of gaining membership than say..... you. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Numero Uno from Tuesday, November 25, 2008 10:03:41 AM)

Yes bashing Tim does have something to do with Glenn and the rest of the band. Ripper was the vocalist of this band for many years. Recorded two studio cd's and two live cd's. He is a part of the history of this band and always will be. So if someone wants to bash Ripper for being the vocalist that replaced Halford (and by the way he did a killer job) they are also taking shots at the band. Now you can put that on the record too.

Young man, you seem to have an obsession with the linear composition of records. Not such a bad hobby, I suppose. As for decisions and criticism of them, I know I have made a few bad ones in my day. Not too sure what difference it makes if it was Glenn Tipton or whomever. He is not infallible simply by virtue of his inclusion in the Band, is he? I think Dime is just stating, for the record, that he does not like Owens. Fair enough. I do not care for Usher, but I digress and that darn record is getting skewed again.
Bashing Tim Owens has nothing to do with Glenn, KK, Rob or anyone else, with the possible exception of Owens' mother but that would require that we stray from that "straight" record again. Not going to do that. I think Owens is very talented. I think Jugulator was not a great album. Opinions are what they are and, as was so eloquently pointed out earlier, we all have them. You too, right? In fact, you appear to believe yours is all there should be...for the record.

Lets get the record straight here, OK. Ripper was asked to join the band by Downing and Tiption. Its not like he was begging to try out for the vocal position, They saw how talented he was and invited him over for an audition. They were so impressed by his voice he was hired on the spot. Now if you want to bash Ripper you're also bashing the decisions of Tiptopn and Downing and the band in general.

Bah, shake your little finger all you want, I'm entitled to my opinion just like everyone else is on here. I don't care for Owens as a vocalist, i'll say he makes good use of what talent he has. For me everytime i hear him singing, in Beyond Fear, Priest or Iced Earth, he always sounds like the most successful rip off of Halford there ever was. So many bands in the 80's went for the Halford esq vocals that it was annoying. Rob is the only one (IN MY OPINION!......YES OPINION...YOU NO THAT LITTLE THING THAT EVERYONE HAS?) who can pull off the high octave voice. Everyone else just sounds to similar to me, thats the way my ears take it. Like it or continue to shake your little finger at those who share their honest opinion.

What i find messed up is this guy living in the shoes of Rob Halford, trying to be the guy. How the hell could you have the nerve to say " oh ya i could front Judas Priest and replace THE METAL GOD." Its blashpheous. I really don't think Halford holds him highly either. He always refers to him as Mr. Owens.
