Anthony is one of the most gifted and entertaining people in the industry. In my opinion he is the reason why the show lasted as long as it did and why it surpassed Howard. Opie is dreadful and Norton tries way too hard to constantly be shocking. He is too predictable and take away tranny's, peadophile puns, and AIDs humour and there really isn't anything left. Anthony is why I listen to these videos and obviously guests like Patrice, Colin, etc...
Halford really did set that up at the start with the "anything with a penis" bit, but Jimmy missed that. I know Norton would rage at this, but I think Priest is the first real 'metal' band. Sabbath was close, but their first album, the one that was released pre-Priest, really belonged to the 60's acid-rock scene.
The courage this talented man had to go through, especially being a main icon in one of the heaviest metal bands, during its highest & hype times, to come out gay must have caused him tremendous pain & struggle. Being able to joke about his sexuality as soon as he popped in through that SiriusXM studio door, is sign that he is open to the majority of gay jokes & is able to joke about it as smoothly as butter on toast. Before coming out, this was funny as hell. But, after coming out myself, it is even funnier. Something about coming out feels freeing and strangely somehow makes me find gay jokes more hilarious. I hope RUclips does not take me down for expressing my true feelings.
He said himself years ago that the lyrics don't reflect his homosexuality because it would alienate the majority of the fans and the rest of the band because they're straight. He keeps his personal life seperate from the music.
im not trying to fight because it seems we are fellow metal guys but listening to sabbath these days really bores me. i can listen to early 80s priest and maiden and even metallica and slayer and still get excited. i respect sabbath but i don't really like them anymore. with that being said any kid that asks me about metal i always start with sabbath because you kinda have to right? but there is so many better bands in my personal opinion
31:56 is why you're here
Wow he has a grEat sense of humor
Thanks for the upload this is awesome to hear Rob talking so openly!
Thanks for this insightful contribution, HarryPotter87!
Opie & Anthony obiviously are not to bright, but enjoyed hearing Rob talk! He's a very intelligent man! Priest Rocks!
"A Mike, a Bill, a Pete" Ant is the greatest
I couldn't continue listening without hearing that on repeat 3 times

Halford comes into the tattoo shop, Sailors Grave Tattoo Gallery in San Diego, that I hang out at and just shoots the shit. He's such a cool guy.
Rapid Fire is a fucking bad ass song
where do I press the button stop laughing hehehehe
watching halford perform with priest is so amazing. if you get the chance fucking do it
He said himself years ago that the lyrics don't reflect his homosexuality because it would alienate the majority of the fans and the rest of the band because they're straight. He keeps his personal life seperate from the music.
then it's resolved. have a nice day sir
I think it helps his voice.
That was an A5. :D
and i forgot to mention that anthrax fucking rules
Halford rocks, case closed
I dont think I've heard anybody thats come across Rob say a bad world about Him...I can see why
im not trying to fight because it seems we are fellow metal guys but listening to sabbath these days really bores me. i can listen to early 80s priest and maiden and even metallica and slayer and still get excited. i respect sabbath but i don't really like them anymore. with that being said any kid that asks me about metal i always start with sabbath because you kinda have to right? but there is so many better bands in my personal opinion
Howie Long...
You ever hear Janis Joplin?
...back the other way?
Serious question, why does anyone care about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Opie adds absolutely nothing to the interviews on His show. If it were not for Anthony and Jim, the show would sink.
6 years later....... Opie is as irrelevant as VHS tape
Jim is great a lot, but sometimes hes tiring with his recycled shit
because the rarhof is a joke and no one should care about it? i agree
glenn and kk wrote most of it so the lyrics are straight
O&A aren't as good as Howard Stern
To much about the gay talk, talk about the metal gods music!
Great interview.
