The lady totally misses the point of music. You choose music that speaks to you. Fade to black literally saved my life. When you are depressed and really really down experiencing suicide or agression through music can be really therapeutic.
Rob Halford (The Metal God) is a real good all around guy! He would never do anything (nor his band) to ever influence anyone (kids) in a negative way. (musicly or personally)
I’ve been listening to heavy metal since my 14th birthday. Never did drugs never thought about killing myself or hurting others. I had friends never listened to Metal but turned out to be the most disturbed and full of suicide thoughts.
Rob is forever my hero. So extremely well spoken, respectful, and such a kind gentleman! He is incredibly articulate, I strive to have this kind of ability. He is so calm, with some of the words that lady was saying, I would’ve lost my marbles! What a class act! Its great to see him in this form of debate, greatest man in the world!
Rob showed respect for the lady and let her say all her points yet when Rob spoke she didn't show him the same respect. Intelligent guy. A interesting chat, it's gone from bad to much worse in this avenue sadly and much more accessible through the internet and not physically having to buy music. Some call it freedom of expression others call it degradation of society, chose your side.
Music is an outlet, it saves lives, it makes life better and much less boring. Music is the most accesible and best form of popular art that has been my greatest friend in life. Without music all is left is horror movies. Enjoy music, enjoy life!
3:54 bullshit. I had a good childhood and at 9 in 1979 I heard Unleashed in the east by Priest and I was hooked. Why can't people just understand that kids are going to like whatever music they think sounds good. To me at least it had nothing to do with family life.
What a pleasant contradiction wouldn't you say? Rob Halford renowned for his malevolent tones, fearsome power and impossible scales is almost soporific in his gentle explaining and his eloquence. They couldn't have picked a better person in the music industry to put out the defensive side of the argument, and that the contributing factors to one's bad viewpoints, downfall (or James Vance's sad demise) are nearly always of wider and darker scope than what they simply choose to put on the deck.
Why don't they just admit they hate heavy metal music. Rappers take vulgarity and violence to a level metal never has. And yet, no one complains. It's a double standard.
Judas Priest and Iron Maiden don't have sexual perverted lyrics. Iron Maiden goes into history/Myths kind of thing. Megadeth into war. Kiss and AC/DC go below the belt and get pornographic. Kreator's into hate.
Love LOVE LOVE Rob Halford and I think he'd become more introspective after his departure from Judas Priest in the 1990's, but it's beneficial to keep in mind that this comes from a man who wrote "Eat Me Alive"... ... still it's a slippery slope when you start censorship of artists and when you do kids consider it forbidden fruit and just want it more. But ultimately as a parent and as a parent myself, you have to trust in your child and the moral lessons you tried to instil in them when they start to navigate the adult world as teens. Coming down on them self-righteously, ultimately suppresses and demeans them. You want to keep your kids from liking naughty songs ?... learn them and sing and dance to them around your kids and their friends ! Because: A... kids want to rebel and B... they want to feel inclusion. It's all part of them needing to find their own way in the real adult world and either they will see you and think this is extremely uncool or you will develop a separate part of THEIR lives to bond with them with and may see ways they may be emotionally vulnerable and possibly apt to run off the rails earlier.
I remember reading a chapter in a Stephen King book where a man and a woman are making love missionary position the man has a heart attack on top of the woman and a bears breaking into rip them both apart and eat her alive. Now what were you saying about music lyrics being offencive?
I think the important thing is they were having a respectful debate without demonizing each other. Regardless of which side you agree with we NEVER see that these days.
Rob, such an intelligent man, being proffesional and educated in his answers. NO Music is not the problem, the problem is in your kids' head if they go and mimic lyrics in their action. Get your kid's head check!
Hmm.. actually ive never bothered to REALLY hear the song let alone it s meaning. hear that song, i mustve heard it before at least the beginning but prob just never liked it. But anyway, what do u think its about tho?
I think it is undeniable and beyond dispute that music conditions the spirit of the person who is listening. I listen to Rammstein, raubtier, criminal, and I see that there are people in the audience doing the Nazi salute and taking aggressive attitudes. they shave their heads, wear military boots and stuff. the most fanatical copy the attitudes, clothes and way of life of their idols. this is so. My opinion, from 🤔✨✨Chile.
Censorship sucks. Music reflects the world and the world isnt a perfect and positive place. There is good and bad everywhere. Music and art must be an honest expression of the artist with no censorship. Otherwise its not real. Its only something thats "allowed to be created". Parents are the ones to blame for what their kids see and hear in the home not artist and musicians. I agree that some material should not be heard or viewed by minors. Anyone over 18 should have the right to buy any music they want or view nudity of adults. People need to stop blaming artist for being artist and start blaming parents who let their kids do anything they want at any age! Im a loyal and die hard metal head but i wouldnt let my 10 year old kid listen to death metal or x rated rap music. Its not meant for or appropriate for children. Music and art can be vulgar because the world is vulgar.. Its honest and should remain honest.
Halford is a very talented, intelligent and, above all, "complicated" person. He became the world famous gay "God of Metal", from these beginnings: ruclips.net/video/Wvlq1F-X6Ko/видео.html
@@sbesbesbe Oh look a guy whose psychological state is so fragile that a word makes can make him fall apart. If you don't have an inferiority complex, slurs won't affect you, regardless of your race. I assume you're one of these people who spent their formative years listening to Obama undermine 40 years of progress with regard to race relations in the USA. People my age know that in the 90s, things were getting better. People were finally putting that crap in the past. The fact that Obama was elected proves it. But he created a new generation of haters and renewed the inferiority complex. These are facts
@guprheu....I've been a hard rock-metal fan all my life, since I really started getting into music as a teen in the early 80s. I tend to be a conservative voter where I live. That may shock some people. It doesn't mean I am "conservative" on every issue, but on many issues I am. I could never vote for the liberal party or the further left party where I live because many of the issues they push, want or intend to do if they get power are simply ridiculous. Conservatism is not always bad or is death to your brain cells like you have suggested.
There's actually a large portion of metal audiences that are conservative. We're just not loud and obnoxious about our political beliefs and pushing them on others.
These people should listen rap songs that came after... And we all know what happened.These are old ppl out of tune with the change that was happening.. Go back to watching Jimmy Saville.
The real issue here is not should we censor or are artists free to express, the issue is responsibility. You could place it solely on parents but I think artists have a responsibility to in this case children of society. Freedom should never be misconstrued as washing one of responsibility and that’s often what artists want to do. Typically they want the shock value because they know it sells, the more shocking the more kids want it.
@@elfsieben1450 not accusing anyone of anything. JP did have some shock value after all they set the mold of leather and steel! That was an eye opener at the time. However....love the priest, I’m just making a point that freedom should not come without responsibilities!!!! We still owe a debt for that freedom and we are our brothers keeper!
Women being referred to as "bitches" is because of rap. I know it is a slang word referring to women, but it is trash ghetto talk in my opinion and sadly used by so many young people and some older nowadays. I don't agree with censorship either, but I do believe in people being a little more responsible and a little more mature. Rap might be great to some, to me it has influenced many young people negatively and I don't even regard it has "music". Rap has been far worse than any metal band and their lyrics I grew up listening to.

Rob is a very eloquent guest here, and was the wise choice. He can hold his own in the most intellectual of conversations! She should call them NWA!
If she called them NWA most of the people in the audience wouldn't know what it stands for.
Why? NWA stands for NIGGERS WITH AN ATTITUDE not NWA.
I'm damn sure, NWA, knows exactly what it stands for and just shortened it.
C'mon now!
Rob Halford just prevented a kid to be misjudged by his mom here
1:03 "Can I ask you...?" Always the gentleman 😄
i totally love Rob Halford's Brummy accent.

Interestingly enough, it fits right in here with the Aussie accent.
Hes not a Brummie hes from the black country in England
so glad The Metal God himself is advocating Heavy Metal...... he is intelligent and smart enough to represent our oftenly misjudged community......
Halford is the man indeed, but I no longer call him by his nickname since I don’t want to commit idolatry. One of the best singers ever! Peace!
@@RapidCycling07 Ah the þou shalt not misuse.. 😂
But so did Dee Snider and hardly any of the Metal bands backed him up or appeared at the hearings..

Fuck Halford is awesome
Nobody noticing the band played Deep Purple's Black Night at the end?
Judas Priests music helped me find myself at a time when I was torn between rap and metal.....
Metal prevailed obviously
why choose tho
rob is so cool
>complains about music
>drops the word niggas but with a hard R
HALFORD = ORATORY 100%
It would have been really nice if she wouldn’t have interrupted every time someone else spoke. Rob was a true gentleman

fuck the police we live after midnight
Debating lyrics is absolutely pointless. It's someone's controlled chaos. They'll say whatever they feel no matter how fucked up it may be.
Cool video!
lol i wish halford would have worn his leather outfit on here with these super conservatives
Internet: Hold my beer
At the beginning of the vid I thought the lady was talking about JP when she said “anti-white” and I was like wtf?!
Judas Priest and Iron Maiden don't have sexual perverted lyrics. Iron Maiden goes into history/Myths kind of thing. Megadeth into war. Kiss and AC/DC go below the belt and get pornographic. Kreator's into hate.

What's the year,'93??
No depressed kid is going to relate to The Beach Boys. Listen to your kids' music and more importantly ask them what about the music appeals to them.
And then they play Deep Purple to finish it off... lol..
Here's the deal: We don't dance to the words!
Warlord/Deliver Us/1983
Lmao she dropped that N-word with no chill
Clearly she used it often
Just so causally too, first time she said it, it caught me off guard Lmfao
I see that there is a parents advisory warning label of explicit lyrics
