I wish I could agree with ole Rob, but life is shit. Glad I shook his hand on Route 3 in north Jersey waay back when when he was with Fight. Best of luck, Rob.
The very first concert I ever went to in my life was Judas Priest in Duluth Minnesota 1983 right about the end of January, there was a blizzard and me and my friend hitchhiked, but we got a ride there and back from the same people because they were going also, and I was blown away at how good they sounded live in tune on time and loud… The screaming for vengeance tour…. It was a fabulous concert
I love Rob so much. I wish I could just get a chance to talk to him. Dude is amazing both as a musician and as a human being and we need more people like him
I can't believe it's been 45 years since I first heard Judas Priest. Been one of my favorite bands ever since. Rob Halford is such a powerhouse on stage and such a soft-spoken gentleman offstage.
Thanjs so much Vladfor this great interview with THE Metal God. Priest were my first love in heavy metal, since I first heard Killing Machine. I had such a huge crush on Rob Halford, that was when i was 14. Long may Priest continue to bring us great music. Godbless Vlad. Much love Lynda Xxxxx
Screaming For Vengeance is without a doubt one of my desert island discs and def my favorite Priest album...followed closely by Sad Wings if Destiny & Stained Class
Every time you listen to a Rob Halford interview you see just how humble and thankful he is. Wealthy and in the Metal community he is on the metal Mount Rushmore. There are so many legendary bands but nobody has done more. Sabbath kicked it off but Priest took what Sabbath done and continued going with such power for decades. I’m a huge fan of Richie Faulkner. His impact and talent shines.
Thank you for this wonderful interview. Hope I will make to UA one day, and JP show would be a proper reason for that. I work with many Ukrainians here in the USA. Wonderful people, and I pray your country will have a bright future, and this war one day will turn into just a page in your heroic history. Varoņiem slava!
Curious thing happened in my life and it`s about Judas Priest. Imagine, just January 1st or, ok maybe January 2nd whatever, my older brother bought his first vinyl "Defenders of the faith" in his life he was 16 actually. Probably, that`s why i fell in love with MUSIC as a pure beauty, art! Rob`s singing always impressed me deeply, My best JP is about this period and of course 2 in1978> Unleashed in the East was next in a 6 months.....etc. Best wishes to Rob from Kyїv/Славка Україні. Героям теж!
Judas Priest Is Not only heavy Metal band . This Is metal , 2 lead Guitar "invented" with Priest. In the '70 Priest were already Power and Speedy . I love Iron Maiden.but Born in end of '70 and in 80 exploded. Not only Classic metal . Per modern Power metal band. Inspired many moeern band. Respect to Rob and Priest . Glenn Tipton never give up.🤘
When maiden 1st toured with priest there was alot of friction. KK didn't like them and said they were arrogant. It was mainly dianno. I think this was the killers album tour where they opened for priest a few shows.
Not that few, around 35. it was for a month and half. They opened for almost the entire Priest's tour in the USA, minus in May, when Maiden was finishing their European leg and then went for Japan. And they would eventually opening again for 2 months like they say in the video one year later.
Listening to SFV the other day, I could hear how it would've influenced Anthrax, Metallica and Megadeth. Anthrax 1st album is pretty much 'variations on a theme of SFV' from memory - and that's not a criticism.
1982 screaming for Vengeance, Randy Rhoades death , Mercyful fate don’t break the oath . My Sophmore year in high school . My younger brother and I saw screaming for vengeance tour . 40 beautiful JMC 800 stacks from end to end on the stage .
Awesome. Rob Halford is the high priest of Metal. Horns up and keep the faith. We are One under the black flag & May our brothers and sisters in Ukraine be safe. Slava Ukraini, Death to all but , metal. ✌️🤘☠️🏴🇦🇺🇺🇦
Sorry Rob but Screaming for Vengeance was an incredible masterpiece forever but Painkiller really embarrassed me as a fan. It literally sounds like you guys were forced to try to emulate the trends of the Thrash times and it ended up just sounding nothing like the Heavy Metal heroes I adored.
But the song "Screaming For Vengeance" was borderline thrash metal itself. One year before Metallica released Kill 'Em All. Personally I love Priest's more radio friendly songs like "You've Got Another Thing Coming" and "Breaking The Law," AND thrashier songs like "Screaming For Vengeance," "Painkiller," and "Blood Stained" (from Tim "The Ripper" Owens' debut with the band). I guess the bottom line is that for me, Judas Priest is just good all the time. 😊
That's what makes Judas Priest unique, their catalogue covers nearly every genre of hard rock/metal. My personal favorites are Defenders and British Steele. But throughout their catalogue they have never stopped evolving and innovating.
