Glenn Tipton was a surgical guitarist. Crazy to see how he advanced from Rocka Roller to Painkiller.

@AxLZ1

Ай бұрын

Yeah, but it's more like was edited to sound much better in studio version. If you pay attention and watch Glenn's technique, it's actually not enough to play the solo as we listened on studio version, if you go to look some live version you will see that many parts are not played totally and at the real speed.

Even if there are sloppy elements to the original solo, it doesn't matter. It's that good. I've always thought of Painkiller as the answer to the question "If aliens came to Earth and you had to show them one song that best represented heavy metal, what song would that be?"

I agree and would argue it also strongly contributes to why Death’s Sound of Perseverance - which has a cover of Painkiller - is a perfect Metal album.

Judas Priest then didn't have to compete with "new school". They were the undisputed Heavy Metal Gods. They tried on Jugulator, being overrolled by Nu Metal, bereft of their signature singer - and they failed miserably. But with Painkiller, Priest still reigned ultra-supreme. Only Metallica were greater - and still are, since Priest never recovered ever since

Painkiller and Tornado of Souls are the benchmarks for an epic solo, with honourable mention to Testament Electric Crown🤘

If there is a solo to choose from Marty Friedman from Rust in Pieces, I actually prefer Lucretia (Marty's half obviously) over Tornado. But in both solos, he tells a story, he isn't just shredding. I understand why one would prefer one over the other.

HERE IS THE FEUD Which channel is better?!?!

I first heard this album when I was about 6 months into discovering metal, around the year 2000. I haphazardly would buy metal albums as I could afford them as a new college student, and I had amassed a collection of maybe 10-15 at this point. I literally had no idea of any Judas Priest songs except those I heard on British Steel when I had bought it a couple months prior. So, I picked Painkiller up thinking it was going to be cool. But nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING, could have prepared me for what I was about to hear. I didn't even know metal could be like this. I was completely amazed with every single note of every instrument (and voice) on this album (except Touch of Evil...which was cool, but not amazing). I couldn't believe something like this was made by human beings, IN MY TIMELINE. I still listen to this album, ~24 years later, probably once a year now, and am always re-amazed at how good it is. This might have been the best rendition of this solo I've heard someone play. This had to take a lot of time. Well done sir!

The Best Song Of The Heavy Metal 🤘🤘

This is the best I've ever heard anyone play this solo, props Bradley!

Incredible structure. This never feels noodly.

One of the best solos ever created. Your tab is incredible, but I will never have the skill to reproduce it hahahaha Great job Beanley Hallsworth.

It’s not really THAT insane. Like just practice trills and legato, some sweeps, and alternate picking scales for a while and you should be able to get it. Just get out a metronome and slowly bump it up as you do sequences for speed. You can even learn this song and play it slowly and then just speed up the parts you can’t play at tempo over time and you will eventually get it. It’s not that insane. Just takes a lot of practice. Kids in highschool play stuff like this every day cause they just try and keep at it.

​@@digineet8421this is advanced solo and minimizing effort to achieve the accuracy and articulation required to play this piece is flat out ignorant. There are very few legit covers of this solo on KZread, while the song being one of the best heavy metal songs of all time. No random teenager plays this stuff casually, very few at most.

@digineet8421

@@askerzie i mean it’s definitely hard but I think people misunderstand how difficult shredding is. People don’t try it so they never get the chops to do it. You have to sit there and practice 1-2-3 sequences for many months but the speed will definitely come. The hardest part is definitely the sweeping and then just getting it to sound articulate and this musical but to say someone could never do it is more wrong than saying it’s possible. That’s my point. Anyone with time a decent guitar for this, and healthy hands could do this eventually.

This solo is so futuristic sounding, yet encapsulates that 2000s scratchy and catchy essence, its amazing and you f@%$ing perfected it man!

This is wild! Literally 2 hours ago i was thinking "Bradley doesn't mention Priest enough" and there we go 🤣👏🍻

Great Bradley, with RIP my favorite album, it's really wonderful to see and hear someone play a solo like this ,in this way, years of work and effort have been invested to achieve something like this, big respect, hands down.

For months I worked in learning this solo by ear and when I watched your video I was so happy because there were few mistakes in my transcription. The fact that I've pulled out the initial arpeggio and most of the solo right, make me feel proud. Thanks for this mate!

Its just the best metal solo i know. Still got goosepumps from head to feet every single time i hear it. Incredible.

I've seen many TABs on the painkiller solo but this one looks more tolerable than others I've read. Thanks Sensei

Thank you kindly sir beansworth I’ve been wanting to learn this for ages you are a legend!

Painkiller one of the most solo of solos.

That solo is mental. Love it so much. Good work mate!

That was spot on! Amazing job! 🤘😁🎸

what i love about this solo is like it just keeps going. there's some places where it seems like it's gonna end but it just doesn't

I think this is the best transcription of this solo ever 😀 Thanks!

Very nice! When I think "metal album" this always comes to mind. It's so intense

And that’s how you come back after a Turbo album 🤨 When this video came out on Headbangers ball it was a real jaw dropper! I saw the Painkiller tour and it was absolutely incredible! Even got a guitar pick🎉

This solo always goes so fucking hard

been rewatching this every few days for inspo

Bruh the sheer speed has me contemplating my life decisions up until now. How tf 💀

Great job as always, mate! This song has to be my favourite metal song of all time. ( And to be 100% I thought it was originally from Death but too linear to be on The Sound of Perseverance, so I had to check… ) The intro is furious, riffs are killer and the solos are wow. It is also super fun to improvise on it! I’ll never get tired of it!

Thank you sir I’ve been asking for this for a while now

Hey man this was absolutely top tier, I mean wtf I think you are on your way to becoming the best metal guitar youtuber. Excellent stuff keep it up.

This is one of my absolute favorite solos ever! Thank you! \m/

Is one of those magical and wild silos that just happen once in a lifetime as a reward for decades of hard work.

My older British friend always gives me shit, but painkiller is my favorite priest album. So metallll

You nailed it man! Amazing job

Glenn Tipton is criminally underrated for his lead ability

I've never realized that you have delicate princess hands like me. Some stretches are difficult but it seems effortless for you. Awesome

really sick solo!!!! The best from Judas in my opinion and maybe the best solo of the year painkiller was released...

never done sweep picking before, I bet I can pull this off

Straight fire playing, Mr Beanley

Bradley you need to start a band mate.. To get this solo right takes serious talent nuff said. I saw Judas priest live many years back into them since 85. This song came on and it is hands down The best metal track of all time. Myself and me mate just looked at each other and our jaws dropped, Robs voice was incredible and still is. Ill never forget it live. Looking forward to seeing them next month in Dublin with the glorious Saxon in support and uriah heep... Great lesson... You nailed that solo man...

One of most iconic solos of speed metal, if not most. Hard tempered steel

Excellent tab, you nail it!! =)

That's the absolute solo Blew my mind

IMO, Glenn Tipton and even KK Downing never get their just due when it comes to proficiency on the guitar. We always hear the talk about Eddie, Lynch, Randy, Vai, Satch, Yngwie Gilbert, etc and that is all fair a great. Those guys deserve their spots amongst the elite. To me, Tipton/Downing fed off each other and worked so well hand in hand that for some reason often get so overlooked. We hear more about Murray/Smith/Gers than about Glenn and KK, but w/o the Priest guys there might not have been a lot of twin guitar band in metal. They set the standard and they have written more notable and recognized songs in metal than any other duo. Hetfield/Hammett are probably the most popular and have their fair share of riffs, etc.....but Glenn/KK worked hand in hand and co-wrote 99.9% of everything Priest did together. No other band in the metal genre can attest to that fact!!

Insane skills. Kudos!

u nailed these bends bro

Green Tipton was that rare guitar player that picked up new tricks and always improved and evolved his skills over time. It’s crazy to listen to 1976 Priest, then Painkiller, and realize it’s the same guy playing.

Brutally done

Ive been trying to figure out parts of this for like 2 weeks.. thanks

It’s pretty incredible that he came up with this, they had nothing to prove at this point. It’d be like Angus Young sweeping on Thunderstruck lol

Dude that was a fun watch. 10/10

1:00 love the harmonics

First time ever seeing someone actually playing it

that was sick dude !!!!

Amazing !

Thx for all of the help I just learned symphony of destruction your soups, cool

F* great man! Congratz

Sounds almost exactly like the recording. Great job 👏

Tipton is a genius just for composing that guitar solo !!!

What an awesome guitar

What a fucking great solo

Beanley I wanted to especially appreciate you placing the tab at the top. So many other tab videos place the tab at the bottom and it's super annoying because when you pause, youtube overlay will cover up the tabs lol. And things at the bottom are usually really hard to read. Seriously almost everyone places it at the bottom it drives me kinda insane so I had to make this comment to appreciate you

been following you for 4 years, best guitar channel great job king

Dude that was dope killer sounded like sir tipton

Nice work man

This was my "empty recycle bin" sount in windows XP back in the days

Lol. At this moment i'm trying to learn Symphony of Destruction pre chorus. And I see this 😂

I like it when you go really fast on the tiny strings.

Great job !

Brilliant!! 🎸🔥🤘🏻 Any chance you could do the solo from Practice What You Preach by Testament? Alex Skolnick is a beast, and that solo is incredible!!

Thanks i was about to break my strings until i saw the note saying i shouldn't. Jokes aside, that was amazing

You should check Angra's version, the way Kiko starts this solo is just mindblowing imo. Great cover man, keep it up 🤘🏻

My favourite priest tune 🤘

Definetly the best version i've heard

One shot of Glory ♥️

Sick as fuck, mate. Awesome playing!
