During an appearance on a recent episode of Dean Delray's 'Let There Be Talk' podcast, Rob Halford was asked if he does any vocal warm-ups before performing live with JUDAS PRIEST. He said (hear audio below): 'I just go out and do it. And as I've been doing this now for 50-odd years, I really have to save my voice; I have to make sure that it's got the strength. 'Cause when you're drinking, that's the worst thing for your voice, especially when you're a doing a show. How the hell did I get through those shows [before I got sober]?

Painkiller, with its iconic, ear-splitting title track, reaffirmed Priest’s metal supremacy, and touched a younger generation of metal fans being raised on more extreme forms of the genre. Painkiller was the album Priest needed to make in 1990. It showed the creative trio of Halford, Downing and Tipton with “all guns blazing”—both.

'Yeah, I've been using these pipes for 50 years, and I'm trying to get the most out of them,' he continued. 'I've had to make some adjustments. I wish I could sing 'Painkiller' like I did in '91, but I can't. But I can have a good go. I can give it a good thrashing and a good whack. But even now, after I've done 'Painkiller' and I finish the song on the stage and the crowd is roaring, I'm going, 'Could have done better. That note wasn't quite there.'
'That's the just the way we push ourselves in this band,' Rob added. 'We just love to give the best that we possibly can.'
Halford's latest comments echo those he made six years ago while discussing his diminished vocal capabilities in a live situation. 'I get frustrated, and I freely admit that I wish I could do the stuff that I could do when I was laying down the tracks in 1974 or 1975, but that's just ridiculous,' he said at the time. 'I don't think any singer can requalify those moments again. So you go out and you do your best, you know?!'
In a July 2014 interview with the Birmingham Mail, Halford stated about how his vocal performance has evolved over the last four decades: 'The voice changes obviously. The trick is just to look after it — don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs. I look after my voice these days, and still belt it out.

'When I was a raging drunk and drug addict, I really abused my voice. Thank God I realized I was doing some stupid things. You can damage your voice, and find that you can't do softer things in your music.'

Last year, former JUDAS PRIEST singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens praised Halford, saying that he is 'singing better now than he has in a long time. He sounds absolutely phenomenal,' Owens said. 'And it's great to hear some of these classic songs that he's singing on stage. That's a great thing… Like I said, Rob is singing so good now — he really is. And he looks good, and I think he feels good.'
Owens joined PRIEST in 1996 and recorded two studio albums with the band, 1997's 'Jugulator' and 2001's 'Demolition', before PRIEST reunited with Halford in 2003.
Halford is promoting his autobiography, 'Confess', which arrived on September 29 via Hachette Books. The book has been described by the U.K.'s The Telegraph as 'one of the most candid and surprising memoirs of the year.'

After nearly a decade filled with incredible highs—gold- and platinum-selling albums, arena tours and regular radio play—Judas Priest’s fortunes were starting to look a little shaky in October 1988 when longtime drummer Dave Holland walked offstage on the last date of the Ram It Down tour and abruptly quit. Holland had powered the band through its most successful stretch of albums—from British Steel in 1980 to Ram It Down in 1988—but he wasn’t going to be there to see Priest into the next decade. The Birmingham quintet had replaced its fair share of drummers over the years, but there was much more at stake this time.

Though it was released in September 1990, work began on Painkiller in 1989, well before the band would attend to its vacant drum seat. Without the services of a drummer, guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton toiled away with a drum machine as they wrote and recorded demos of new material for vocalist Rob Halford to put words to. They would inevitably need to find a full-time replacement for Holland before recording, and the choice they made would be a game-changer for all parties involved. In the same way that Black Sabbath added American vocalist Ronnie James Dio to the fold for a “reboot” and released the classic Heaven and Hell, Priest brought in their own Yank a decade later to shake things up on Painkiller.
The ascendency of thrash’s Big Four—Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer—no doubt illuminated a path into the next era of strikingly more aggressive metal. Tempos were faster, the musicianship tighter and the intensity was turned up. It was set against this background that Judas Priest made the wise move to hire Virginia native Scott Travis, whose incredible skills would help them navigate forward into the new decade. Painkiller, with its iconic, ear-splitting title track, reaffirmed Priest’s metal supremacy, and touched a younger generation of metal fans being raised on more extreme forms of the genre.

Painkiller was the album Priest needed to make in 1990. It showed the creative trio of Halford, Downing and Tipton with “all guns blazing”—both songwriting- and performance-wise. They brought big hooks and choruses to fast, complex tunes and the new kid, Travis, gave it the necessary jolt of energy with his thundering double-bass work. For fans who lost faith when the band glammed up for the guitar synth-laden Turbo, or bumbled through the uneven Ram It Down, Painkiller left no question that Judas Priest had plenty left in the tank. Not bad for the band’s 12th album and now second Decibel Hall of Fame induction.
