Imagine having a conversation with Rob Halford. This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. What a show.

*OH MY GOD YOU GOT ROB HALFORD ON THE SHOW?!* Now you know you're reached the top. Edit: Also Pete I just want to say that you did a terrific job interviewing Rob. Respect for asking about KK, I think a lot of interviewers would have avoided that one. The whole thing felt very natural. Great job once again!

Halford is such a joy to listen to. Down to earth, humble, and a ray of positivity.

Man Pete. That's major having Rob on. The Metal God!

I guess 40 years ago Pete would have never ever thought that he would be able to do an interview with one of his heroes. How surreal must that be.

Just want to point out how stellar of an interviewer Pete is.

Dude... I can't believe my eyes

Rob announcing that 8 disc version of Nostradamus dedicated to Pete and Chris was the best bit ;)

There's no way you got to interview the metal god HIMSELF! That just shows how much talent you have as an interviewer! You deserve this pete, you really do... keep the great work!

Rob's voice was the original siren sound that made me a Heavy Metalhead!! 😎🤘🤘

Holy shit Pete, this is huge. Great interview with Rob, the greatest metal voice of our lifetime. I know several Priest fans who have already read his book and all say it’s outstanding.

I can’t Believe you’re talking to the metal God himself what a lucky man I wish I could talk to rob Hanford every day of my life

Rob Halford IS the METAL GOD of the METAL TRINITY: Sad Wings, Sin After Sin & Stained Class!

I love that Pete doesn’t pretend he’s a journalist that won’t wear your shirt and is willing to talk book first to secure a big guest.

Oh my fucking gracious God you're really talking with Rob Halford you THE MAN Pete!

This is crazy!! You had the metal god himself on your channel! Wow dude. Definitely won

Great job, Pete! You' ve made it! Deservely so. And I bet that the 5 assholes that gave a thumb down will not sleep at all tonight - jealousy is a bitch!!

SOT has officially hit the big time!!! Way to go Pete!!!

What a guy so full of optimism, a true great who has been there bought the t shirt and lived to tell the tale. Thank you so much Pete words can not express. Rob Halford makes me proud to be from the Black Country

Rob has always came across as a very genuine guy. I respect that and this interview was great. Thank you for this

Pete, I very much appreciate that all your interviews are raw, unedited, long form, and not broken up into multiple ‘clips’ videos. Thank you!

Rob's voice was absolutely outstanding on Unleashed in the East. Especially for a live album! He paved the way for Bruce Dickinson and many others from the 80's.

Saw Priest 9-22-1979 in Chicago. It was awesome. Better the main show I went to see. I cannot believe how it has been. I was 13 at the time and now I am 54 and still love them to death. Rob Halford is the best singer in my opinion. The whole band is superb. Ian Hill...superb bass player. Nobody ever talks about him, but he is really good. Green Manalishi was the first song that got me interested.I wanted to see Kiss and it said Judas Priest was the warm up band and I was more excited about that. Kiss was entertaining, but it was all one big rumble of noise where Priest was clear and awesome:) Thank you Rob for all the great years of your talent:)

Fantastic interview!! I can't wait to hear some brand new Judas Priest tunes.

Oh my goodness. This was totally unexpected but absolutely epic and awesome to have the Metal God himself on the show. 🤟. And I already picked up a copy of Confess myself and is definitely worth the read, an excellent autobiography. Edit: Posted this during the first few seconds of the interview, but after finishing it, Pete, you did a fantastic job, both on the question side, and even more so on just letting Rob talk and answer those questions without interrupting or cutting him off. You’d be hard pressed to find many interviews nowadays where the person being interviewed isn’t allowed to speak two sentences before being cut off. Great job Pete

This is such a big thing for your channel, Pete!! Interviewing the Leather wearing Metal God himself!!!!

Seeing Judas Priest tomorrow in Birmingham watching this great interview again in advance!

Rob Halford is so lucky that Pete Pardo accepted to interview him

Halford is ALL class. A musical legend and a hell of a guy.

PETE&THE METAL GOD!! DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN THAT! OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW!

Wow! Omg! Pete - You really knocked this one out of the park. I have watched a ton of Rob Halford zooms (my favorite metal vocalist of all time besides Dio rip) and I’ve never seen Rob more relaxed, chill and casual. Just a casual conversation - you at your interviewing best. So proud of you. You rock! This was an excellent and intimate and casual conversation. I loved it. I just loved it ! Awesome work Pete! Congratulations!

Holy crap!!! My favorite KZfaq dude and my favorite metal singer🤘way to go Pete🤘 I preordered the book and got it on the date of release. Day and half later, I’d read it and loved it. There’s a genuine humanness that comes across in his book and his life is stripped down to bare bones, and I feel like I know him as a person and appreciate what he’s accomplished even more now. Love priest, love Halford Rock on 🤘

Enjoyed this interview, I will admit I'm not a fan of judas priest but he comes across as a nice down to earth guy.

Can’t believe I missed this. I have been a fan of this channel since I found it about a month after the pandemic. Great interview.

The best thing about your interviews is the look of pride on your face. I love it!

Great job Pete...you are a super respectful interviewer.

Congrats Pete on interviewing such a legend.

This is so awesome. Thank you rob. Thank you Pete.

Nice one Pete, thanks very much Rob. Great to see Rob looking so well.

Rob is such a cool nice down to earth guy.

This channel is awesome! Thanks Pete, you are the best. Having Rob Halford on is such a joy to watch. Keep up the good work.

The Metal God himself...! I started watching this show around march and you've been raising the bar ever since. ..Very impressive. Thank you.

Wow!! This Rob Halford interview was a surprise!! Glad Rob Halford has a book out!!🎼🎤🎸🎵🥁

Pete!!!! You sir, are the man for making this one happen!!! Thank you Rob!!!

Thanks for providing us with this really enjoyable interview with Rob Halford. Pete, you are a fantastic interviewer. You listen, and it's quite apparent that you are trusted by your guests. I've watched most of your interviews...Halford, Steve Hackett, Steve Morse, Simon Phillips, Carmen Appice, Derek Shulman, Neal Morse, Derek Sherinian, Alex Skolnick, Kim Simmonds, Andy Powell, Chris Caffery, and Frank Marino...and you really put these musicians at ease so that they feel compelled to share stuff with us freely. It's obvious you do your homework before the interviews, which is much appreciated by all concerned (guests and followers.) You really have a gift as an interviewer.

Rob looks GOOD! Love that he truly is, "Down To Earth", kind of guy. Excellent to hear this. Thanks for both!

Let's be formal, for the sake of the moment (even 3 years ago...) - Excellent interview with someone who must be on the 5-shortest list of voices who shaped that genre of Popular Music people call Heavy Metal. Informality, Sincerity and Truthfulness are all attributes which could never go under the radar here. This, i guess, could never happen on TV. Congratulations , Peter and S.o.T.

Rob is a great Human Being, a gentleman and is work with Judas Priest is Amazing ...to me he is always been like the Freddie Mercury of Heavy Metal, capable to change his voce to suit every type or style of song..he is and always will be a legend. Congrats Pete, great Interview. Cheers from Italy👋🎸💥

This was one hell of a pull Pete. Good for you!

I found it refreshing and impressive how Rob showed real class avoiding the drama surrounding KK's departure..I have always respected him throughout the entire beginnings and evolution of the Metal Gods

Watching this interview a few years later, thank goodness Judas Priest were able to do their 50th anniversary tour!

Rob!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘. Been a fan for almost 40 years, so cool! Amazing interview Pete. Thank you!!!

Great interview,had to stop at in and hear what the Metal God had to say,as a lifelong Priest fan so happy to see that he is doing well, love you Rob🤘

Congrats on landing the Metal God himself, Pete. An absolute LEGEND! Just started reading his book.

Great interview Pete. You did a great job! Rob's title "Confess" shows how honest he is!

Holy crap Pete!! Rob Halford?!! Congrats man...it's nice to see your channel continue to grow! Well deserved!!

What a Christmas gift, Rob on the SoT channel!

LEGEND!!!!!!

Pete thank you for the interview, and the way you phrased that question about K.K. was such a gentle and professional manner we rarely see these days in interviews... mad respect!!!

Can't wait to see a follow-up to Firepower, it's such a relief that Rob talks about a next album with such conviction...

Great to have Rob on the show Pete!! I'm ~ We're lucky to have several great Rock 'N' Roll greats that choose to live here in are beautiful Valley ~ Phoenix!!

50th Anniversary tour ?! Rob doesn't even come close to looking 50 . What super nice man . Great interview Pete, I enjoyed it 👍👍🙂

What a scoop! Nice job Pete! Interesting that Rob felt that the time was right for a biography when 20 year old pop stars are already putting out biographies. On that basis Rob’s biography should be a series of books.

Right on Pete. You really raised the bar with this show. Thank you and Halford.

Damn...You scored a direct hit with this interview. Congrats Pete!

Wow!!The Metal God himself...the greatest achievement mr. Pardo!Judas Priest is my all time beloved band!

Rob is such a genleman....great interview

Great interview! Many interviewers seem to talk over the person they are interviewing, you didn't do that, you did a great job letting Rob make his points.

Pete, huge kudos for having Rob Hanford on the show. You did a great job with the interview or chat - however you want to think of it. I have tremendous personal respect from many parts of his personal journey and now will have to read the book based on the two of you talking about it. Great work, Pete. I know you are a huge long-time fan of Rob and Priest. Hope you had as much or more fun doing it as we had watching.

Seen that man 6 times myself. great get Pete. Screaming 4 Vengeance..83’ phenomenal stuff.

How the hell did you pull this one off Pete! Always amazed at the quality of your guests

Awesome interview!!! Thanks Pete!! 🤘🎤👍

it’s cool that you landed Halford Pete

I noticed the USS MILIUS cap in the background of Rob’s video. That was my first ship I served on in the Navy, I’d like to know when he visited. I was there from February ‘00 to Sep ‘03 and I never saw him then so it had to be after I left. I’m huge Priest fan and everything else he has done or been a part of. The closest I’ve been to a Priest show was a cover band in San Diego, which was damn good. And when I was on MILIUS, the biggest star we got when visiting Hong Kong was Jackie Chan and the privilege to meet him was awesome. Anyways, Pete thanks for this and all you do

First saw Priest at the Birmingham Odeon in 1979 Killing Machine tour, home gig fantastic!!!! Loved them ever since

That interview made me feel so optimistic about the future. We are going to get our live metal back!!! Great interview Pete. You're the best man. Gonna crank some Priest right now...........

Pete... great interview and great “pick-up” for your channel. YOU are only at the beginning of your journey.

I've told my kids that I want Rob's book for Christmas. Thanks!

Still got that Walsall accent Rob.

Pete, having watched a large percentage of your videos and enjoying your channel, I wanted to say that I was immediately pleased for you here..seeing you get a chance to interview one of the biggest singers in the hard rock world. Quite the memorable feather in your cap. Congrats Pete..and you handled it like a real pro. Kudos.

Amazing! Pete, you have scaled the absolute peak of the Metal Mountain! How's the weather up there on Metal Everest dude? Great interview by all accounts. Don't ever stop Pete!

Love the fact that he still has his Walsall dialect!

What a great interview, Pete. A half hour well spent.

comes across like a really genuine, compassionate human being, the type of person youd want in your life

Pete, you NEVER disappoint! A great interview with the Metal God himself.

SoT with a mention on Blabbermouth. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

First, you are a natural at interviewing. I was so taken by this. I saw Priest in Hollywood Florida, Hard Rock, and I thought I saw you in a floor seat. It was way before show started, and almost went over..

Hats off Pete. Unreal.

Man the channel has reach the top with Rob as special guest. Congratulations Pete!

Awesome interview, Pete! Rob always comes off as so thankful to his fans. Great guy and always gives a solid interview.

HOLLLYYYY FUCK MF GOT ROB HALFORD ON THE SHOW. HOLY SHIT PETE YOU ARE THE FUCKING GOD as a long time of your channel, i’m extremely proud and HAPPY FOR YOU PETE! you’re fucking killing it man!!! you deserve this!

I am lucky to see Rob and REV Run in Victoria.it was great:)

I agree with most of the previous commenters- Great guest, great interview. In 1977, in Houston, most new releases were one dollar off the regular price. I saw “Sin After Sin” by Judas Priest on sale. I never heard of Judas Priest or their music. I am glad I took a chance and purchased the album.

Great question on KK, Pete...pretty ballsy...great interview

Love Rob is the man of leather, he and AC/DC rule my teens in the 80’s, miss the band. God bless Pete ur the man

Great, great interview, Pete. I just purchased the book on Audible. Cheers!

Absolutely wicked interview..

EXCELLENT interview Pete well done. Also, one of the amazing aspects of this interview (and there were many!) with A Metal God was that you actually let the man speak! That is a rarity nowadays. Thank you for conducting a phenomenal interview and acting with respect. You were a total gentleman.

Kudos on getting Rob on the channel but more importantly GREAT interview Pete! Cheers
