That was a GREAT cover. Vocals, harmonies, solos were awesome. The video was tiresome in its switch from one person to another like every 2 seconds. Near as I can tell, there were 3 guitarists, but I'm still not sure.
 
The band sounds awesome, and I love Rob Halford, but man this makes me really wish he could still hit those Halford high-notes. It just doesn't sound like Priest without it. My ears keep wanting him to hit that glass shattering register, but it never comes. Now I need to listen to some old Priest.

That's the first time we've actually heard the bass in Priest music for damn near 50 years.

Hmm, I assume you never heard the Priest track 'The Rage' then. :p

Btw, I didn't know the bastard love child of Joey DeMaio and Ann Coulter could drum. :eek:

Sure sounds cool tho'! 🤘
#howcanimakethisaboutme incoming 😉: I played the song with my band, supporting James Rivera and I did the 'air siren' thing in the beginning of the song with a bending double-stop (A and C# bended up, position 14), but with flanger and delay engaged, and volume swells. Almost sounded like the original.

Yeah, looks like Andy Sneap was featured as well...apparently with long hair again, but Richie and Glen were more often shown.
 
I wanted to hate it because I grew up on the original, but damn. Killed it. If I may throw a little shade, Halford sounds like Jack Black (or vice-versa). 😀
