[@rockdog2843]

Rob is a walking ICON. His music is the soundtrack of my whole life. I could not imagine my life without JP. With KK and Glenn they were the best band to ever exist. -Period. Robs voice has dominated the metal world for 50 years +.and still today! No metal band will ever match the legacies of Judas Priest -Black Sabbath -or Iron Maiden. I love German metal as well but British metal will always rule.

They complement each other soooo good... Individually they're not the greatest guitar players, but together they're Magical....

[@AndDeathForAll82]

I’d love for Rob to give “Blood Stained”, “Bullet Train”, or “Cathedral Spires” a try. This is the 50 Metal Years tour, and that era is part of that legacy.

I agree!

[@hinjurock70]

Yeah, it's a blemish on that legacy.

[@SethWorsham]

Absolutely! Cathedral Spires and Bullet Train are 2 of their best ever songs. Ripper did a spectacular job and this part of their history should be represented in the setlist.

[@SethWorsham]

Because Ripper is an annoying try-hard to poser with a fake-sounding voice and the songs on those albums were pretty B grade.

@@sadboi7537 I heard one of their new songs on RUclips, dont remember which one, but it literally sounded like 2 Priest songs combined into one! I couldnt believe how similar it was! I have been a Priest fan since 85 and LOVE JP, but I dont at all dig what I heard from KK.

[@haydee2003]

I just finished watching this and I loved every second of it...and there's something I want to say...Thank you Rob for your words about Glenn. Every word you said about him moved me to tears. I've been a devoted fan of Glenn for as long as I can remember...more than 30 years for sure...and the news about his illness left me devastated. But there's no illness that can beat him. He's ...OMG I have no words to express what I feel...He's ...brighter than a thousand suns. Once again thanks Rob for every words said about Glenn. And thank you Metal Pilgrim for this interview which is a precious gem. Stay metal you all. 🤘

[@crusheverything4449]

This was an excellent interview that was more like a casual chat between friends. Rob is so genuine and his love for metal and Priest fans is still as true as ever. I’d like to say this about Glenn Tipton: A) He is missed on that stage. B) He is nearly as important to the development of heavy metal as Mr. Tony Iommi. Glenn wrote the majority of Judas Priest’s music (which is why his name appears first on all those songwriting credits) and his riffs and solos set a very high bar and influenced countless guitarists over the decades. His contributions to metal can’t be undervalued and I hope he knows how beloved he is by Priest fans the world over. While I’m happy to see the band carry on touring, even without his constant presence, I don’t think anything can possibly match the intensity, professionalism and sheer majesty of seeing Priest in 1982 (with Maiden opening). That band was a fine-tuned wrecking machine and left every member of the audience in stunned awe, as we were leaving the venue. Thank you, Rob and Glenn, for the many years of amazing music, both on record and on stage. I wish you and the whole band continued success and the best of health and happiness. Same to you, Vlad, and thank you for another stellar installment of Metal Pilgrims. Two horns up! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@IraSiegel]

I love Rob Halford! Just finished his autobiography.

[@MetalPilgrim]

It is one of the best rock books I've read!

[@MikeWiest]

Yes Glenn Tipton you are loved so much--"literally unmatched" as a guitar player; and you too Rob Halford. And you too KK Downing. "We're all in this together." Great to hear Rob expressing Glenn's greatness, to hear of Glenn's grace, and of Ritchie honoring Glenn's solos. Thank you!

[@bouzoukiman5000]

I met him about 20 years ago. I got to tell him that he and Judas Priest helped inspire me to love music and play guitar and all the rock instruments. Seemed like he loved to hear that and thanked me. He was a super nice guy. To this day my wife tells people we met the singer of Iron Maiden!!!!! 😳😀Don't worry, i correct her every time

[@parentslife9106]

An absolutely amazing interview with a pure Metal God! I really appreciate the opportunity to observe what’s going on “from the balcony!” )

[@MetalPilgrim]

It was an absolute honour to welcome Rob on the channel

[@rosethorn5283]

Wow… just wow. What a great interview with Rob. I love the fact that Glenn is still a part of Priest.
I have a Glenn story in fact.
I was 3rd row floor with a girl I had been hot for for months. Scored the British Steel tour tickets, asked her to go and BAM, there we were. We were having a great time when Glenn points at my date and a big piece of muscle comes from stage left, picks my gal up and hauls her back stage! I was, to say the least, a little perturbed. I went home after what was a great, but frustrating show.
I go to this girls house the next day to ask her WTF happened? She started getting sick to her stomach as soon as she got back there and vomited through the rest of the set. When Priest came off stage it was KK who brought her a cold towel for her head. Classy move KK.
We only went out a few times but I still think of that girl and the night that Glenn Tipton thought she was hot too.

Priest was my first concert on my 15th birthday in 1984. My sister brought me to the concert, may she RIP since she died way too early. He rode out on a motorcycle and I was a heavy metal fan forever after that.

[@aero2zero]

I am far from being a metalhead, but right now I started listening all of their records, concert videos and everything else I could find - and I'm stunned that they really was and still is the best band. Not in the metal kind, but for me, music kind. A new door opens before me, and I stepped in with gratitude. Thanks for the Metal God and his army for the excellent world they created to all music lovers!

70 лет Rob Halford отметил 25 августа, а он КРАСАВА ещё как зажигает! Long Live Rob Halford!

[@ianhokin2065]

The landscape of the midlands seemed so important to Priest. With the guitar work by kk and Glenn there was a real gestation in their lead that really became locomotive like, the way they did those runs that sounded like gears picking up in horsepower. It is truly unique to them. I deeply appreciate how they’ve all spoke of the soundscape imprinting on them. It works so well with the “not to distant metal future” they developed lyrically and visually. I’d be fascinated to hear robs thought on the Detroit music scene as sort of the American counterpart to the midlands. Can’t understate how much priest has enhanced my life for years.

[@AudioGuyBrian]

[@edelcorrallira]

Man, one of my first owned albums was Screaming for Vengance; got a second hand vinyl (shortly before Painkiller came out)
Many years later I rode 4 hours through a mostly dark highway with tight corners after a 13 hr work day... Got to see them play at very small venue (a casino in Cucamonga), they were fantastic! Tipton was to me, a metal Eric Clapton, and Halford was in perfect form. Rickie Faulker was a complete surprise, to me he was like Randy Roads in Priest, just amazing and he absolutely killed it.
Still remember just how small the stage was, and they still brought out the Harley. Priest is really amazing!!
Personally, glad KK's Priest is also doing things in parallel. As far as I'm concerned you can never have enough Priest and both are just top notch

[@leo2nd261]

I love Painkiller, and love the metal God Rod. I listen to this thousands of times and I like breaking the law too. Rob looks different with that beard, looks sharp. One of the toughest songs to play on Guitar Hero games. Judas Priest drummer, guitarists are Rob are true legends in music. You are awsome. 🤘🏳️‍🌈 👍

[@brentrusche2056]

@Metal Pilgrim / Vlad,
Thank you for that well-presented interview with Rob Halford. I watched it in its entirety (as well as most of your episodes). IMO, your content is some of the best in the Metal community.
Based on video that I have seen of Rob Halford performing (sporting the white beard and before the Pandemic), I think he is struggling at that ripe age of 78/79 and really needs to retire. He can no longer hit those legendary notes much last an entire 1-1/2 to 2 hour sets.
I am certainly OK with singers/musicians, athletes and artists in any discipline retiring when it is their time to do so...especially when what they are able to produce is far less than what they did in there heyday.
As far as my TOP 5 Judas Priest studio albums are concerned, here they are (in order...least to best...and a list you will see from no other JP fan):
5- British Steel
4- Ram It Down
3- Screaming For Vengeance
2- Defenders Of The Faith
1- Point Of Entry

[@vernonmahabal9109]

Rob Halford my favorite Metal singer! Love Judas Priest!

[@myronstewart9085]

Man I was introduced to Judas Priest back in 1979 right after I saw my first “rock” concert in Dallas which was Nazareth and Thin Lizzy and a week or so a friend said check these guys out. And was Stained Class. Omg my mind was blown! Holy shit who sings like this ? Who plays and writes like this? I was hooked. Had to go backwards and forwards to previous and later albums. Being a musician guitar and vocals at 16 cutting my teeth on blue grass, Chet Atkinson, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Elvis , Jackson 5 ,Earth Wind and Fire, The Eagles, Thin Lizzy, Nazareth etc… and the natural progression was enlightenment The Metal God. Lol.
Robs voice was like nobody I had ever heard. So versatile, so powerful, so visual. Rob and Elvis taught me how yo really sing. To project and to sing from the ground right up thru your balls , thru your chest and as the pressure builds, it explodes out your mouth like you’ve just struck oil , and it’s shooting or shouting right to the heavens!! Hallelujah amen! A victim of changes no doubt. For the better.

The interviewer is great, so much respect for the subject. And Rob Halford is just a great fella, I've always liked him. I'm not really much of a metal head these days but Judas Priest are curious in that they both exemplify the genre and manage to be highly accessible outside of it without really compromising their sound. 'Breaking the law', 'You've Got Another Thing Coming' are brilliant rock tunes regardless and 'Exciter' is like a blueprint for metal. They are a national treasure. And they always did the best album covers imho.

I have on tape an interview with Halford and legendary Los Angeles DJ, Jim Ladd, from 1980. Ladd is still alive at 73. I have on tape a Rockline interview with Rob, KK, and Glenn, promoting either Screaming or Defenders from around '83. It was the first time I ever heard a rockstar use the word "amalgamation". That was Glenn.
In same show a girl called in and told Glenn she'd heard he was married. He then denied being married. In ironic fashion. With mock outrage, yelling, "LIARS, LIARS!"
I remember in Junior High and High School, girls really dug Glenn. More so than KK believe it or not. KK was the blonde pinup. But the cooler girls went for Glenn, realizing that he was actually the best-looking of the two. Plus he was darkly menacing. Some girls are drawn to that. The cheerleaders were Team KK. The scary burnout girls were Club Glenn. The guys who held up the cheerleaders were Team Rob.
Some stoned kid called into the radio show. (This is all from memory). He could barely talk. And KK says, "Are ya avin' a party John?" As a 13 year old American kid, I never understood why KK thought the kid was having a party. The kid sounded boring and there was no party noise in the background. When I grew up I realized "party" means "illegal substances" Anyway, I still use that phrase to mess with friends when they sound f**ked up. "Are you having a party Steve?" But I say it KK's accent. It sounds funnier that way.

[@MetalPilgrim]

Thanks man! Long live Judas Priest!🤘

It's funny because Nostradamus is my favorite JP album. It's like Judas Priest meets Nightwish and very emotional. Had it been released earlier in their careers I think it would be a classic.

If guys remastered this album (and added live orchestra, better sound , shorten overlong songs and add audible guitars) the whole album would be fantastic.

Wonderful interview man! Hope you are safe bro.

I also want a cat shirt! Rob, legend, and class act. JP was my first concert ever in 1984, never stopped listening to them or Maiden.
