Steve Haynie Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 (edited) War Pigs always plays over the PA system before Judas Priest hits the stage. The entire audience sings along. Notice the paint and double pickguards on Richie Faulkner's Les Paul. It matches his Flying V. Edited July 2, 2025 by Steve Haynie Quote
kizanski Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 I'm going to be "that guy" and say that it's ok, but I don't really dig it. To me it lacks the "groove" that the original has. 2 Quote
HoboMan Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 Awesome! Richie Faulkner has stolen some moves & poses from Zakk Wylde 2 Quote

There a couple of quick frames where I thought to myself, "did they put Zakk up there too?". 😀 It was good to see Glenn involved, but he's looking pretty frail. 3 1 Quote
zorrow Posted July 3, 2025 Posted July 3, 2025 Sounds great, loyal to the original, but it’s still Judas Priest. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote
RobB Posted July 3, 2025 Posted July 3, 2025 A little ham-fisted. A bit more four-on-the-floor than the original version, but I like the guitar arrangements and the definitive JP stamp on this cover. 2 1 Quote
DaveH Posted July 3, 2025 Author Posted July 3, 2025 (edited) @RobB Didn't sound "ham-fisted" at all, to me. Actually, the clarity of the notes and chords sounded pretty dang precise. Edited July 3, 2025 by DaveH 3 Quote
Steve Haynie Posted July 3, 2025 Posted July 3, 2025 Precise. That never applied to Black Sabbath. In an interview Tony Iommi said they all played out of time, but they somehow played out of time together. 4 1 Quote
Brooks Posted July 4, 2025 Posted July 4, 2025 At least he didn't phuck up the outro by singing over it like Dio always did Quote
Steve Haynie Posted July 4, 2025 Posted July 4, 2025 Watch it again. Halford is singing over the outro, but his voice is buried in the mix. 1 Quote
