He is amazing. It's as simple as that.

Agreed! Looks good also, healthy

the greatest

I was just thinking that👍

HAIL!

That’s awesome! I’d love to read that interview. Interesting to think a lot of brilliant 70s bands were written off or not given the respect they deserved at the time and here we are almost 50 years later (not to make anyone feel old) and we’re still talking about Priest and Halford is still waving the flag for all of us outcasts. I live in the US but identify personally with more music from Birmingham, UK than anywhere else

Having the benefit of time passed on our side it sure is amusing to hear they "won't get anywhere". I grew up listening to Judas Priest, buying a CD on a whim in the 2000s when I was an early teen. Ended up buying quite a few more. Actually seen them perform for the first time a few months ago. I thought once in my life I want to see them at least.

Got to do that sometimes though. A lot of interviews are the same stuff again and again and again 💀

Uncle Albert!

This timesx 10

i was there man.....i actually shed a tear when they came out, they fucking blew me away. been listening since i was 12, ram it down was my first priest album in 1988

So true, they were vitriolic back in the day! The NME re the Diamonds & Rust single: "Ample revenge for some of the things Joan Baez has done to Bob Dylan songs ... bad enough to make you even wish back for Deep Purple, all might not be forgiven, but at least mercifully forgotten". Re the Sin After Sin album: "Then the music slows down to give the guitars room for aimless interplay." An NME woman journo about Judas Priest live circa Hell Bent For Leather/Killing Machine era: "Never seen an act so studded with male insignia, but lacking any true virility." She must have had a hunch that Rob wasn't singing for HER (or other females in the audience)! 🤣

Its huge man. What should I say more....if only Maiden followed Priest's footsteps

Sex club ....so silly Rob 😂

They said there were 30 city's with a listening party, in the world. I immediately think there is no way Richmond, Virginia will be one of them but it is! Richmond is the capital of VA but only the 3rd largest region in VA. So cool, and then the new album comes out on my 54th birthday. I'm happy. Judas effing Priest!

I love him

Dude ... That Dolly Parton , man ... I can't breath if I see her too ! I might get a heart attack ! 😅 If I see them both of them at same time ? I'll be a definitely a goner . LoL 🤣

Have you heard Stained Class and Sin after Sin? Check them out.

I absolutely agree with Nicko McBrain's statement he released few years ago. He said something in the sense nowadays Iron Maiden compose songs not for their fans but for their own amusement and I love this idea. Both of these amazing bands do not have to prove anything to anybody

I have never gave a shit if people thought I was heavy metal. And it's great to see Rob maintain his stance on it too.🤘

Lil bit sad parts with Rob's parents but this is what life brings sadly...

I heard 5 Souls recently and I have to say its much better than Redeemer of Souls itself. Wow bonus tracks - like Creatures the most

Dare to say even better than its predecessor

pervy uncle azwris haha

I miss KK though.

KK Downing left of his own accord and has since never stopped publicly insulting the band. One week he'll say he doesn't regret leaving them and the next he'll be outraged they haven't asked him back. Ian Hill formed the band with him and both Halford and Glenn Tipton have been in the band long enough for it not to matter. KK could write their collective biggest masterpiece (but they already did that) and he'd still destroy the band with his erratic behaviour. Let it go.

Well I'm about halfway through CONFESS, and I really don't know how any of them put up with Rob Halford as long as they did. Talk about your erratic behavior; Rob actually admits to being one of the biggest scumbags in history, and seems rather proud of it. He is really blowing this gay thing all out of proportion; I've known plenty of gay people, absolutely none of them were as demented as Rob claims to be. That's the problem with getting to know someone; you get to know them. From my point of view, I'm looking at two marginal bands, neither of which seem to be able to be greater than the sum of their parts. But I personally don't care what your pissing contest is, whether you are a Lennon and McCartney, Roger Waters and David Gilmour, Sebastian and Snake, Roth and Van Halen, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, or even at times the Heart sisters... It's that friction which creates great music; so suck it up, get back in the damned studio, and entertain us. Either that, or just quit and shut the hell up. You've already shot your wad. It's over. We pay you to get along, and to create masterpieces. If you're not doing that, then go away. And Ian Hill is such a creative force, isn't he? Four strings... never says a word.... I think he does a great impression of the last man standing... Which, granted, is exactly how Richard Petty used to win all his races... but I would rather watch Jeff Gordon's wins, as he was out there winning stuff that he was not supposed to be winning... The stuff that is controversial; the stuff that matters. Judas Priest will have finally quit, and gone home... and Ian will still be standing back there, staring at those four strings. I can't blame him with being a metal God, I don't think he created that; I think he just rode along on a great big wave... Nothing wrong with that... But you really can't put him in the company of the triumvirate, any more than you can put Andy Sneap in there.

😂😂

He smells of British steel.

Smells like !? 👂 Leatherrr !! 😆😃 Smells like !? 👂 Leatherrr! !! 😆😃 Let's gooo Leather Rebeeel !! 🤘 🤣😂🤘

Like a stained class act? Or like a rapid fire?
