Halford Thank You for years of pick me up and kick ass music....I found hope and strength in many of the songs. And what a kind well spoken spirit, Rob and his band mates are. Proud fan I am of ya guys.
fatal they are the legit heavy metal gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! led zepplin kinda started that voice but music was blues! and sabbath had no metal yell voice and the music was mainly blues too! but they sounded heavy cos iommi had cut off finger tip he used a dish washin soap cap for the tip later a sewing fimmbal which made it heavy pushin down on the strings!! but judas p. n halford were zepplin vocally tuned to 16! and music prist ACTUALLY STARTED the dueling guitars and soloing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then iron maiden copied them cos jp was the only real non blues playing fast band around actually halford vocally too liked queen he too created the leather n spikes black metal bands really use in our dsbm/bm band we dont do corpse paint we or spikes .....but damn i said halford like ozzy started age 17!!! now 67 damn in fact i knew bruce from samson more rocky rolly type stuff but good voice like bruce later sounded on the solo albums i DO NOT count jp/iron m. albums with the other singers as the bands ripper owens just had the voice but was a cover man music was nu metal horrific on them albums jp should be ashamed sucking musically they actually blamed ripper owens for the awful albums but nope it was the shit music and fuck too the singers after bruce the lyrics were mainly cringe too!!!! but ironically my favorite black sabbath is when dio joined!!! rip dio! i got to see him iron maiden and motorhead live here in texas at at&t center THINK its closed down now hate when bruce takes 40 minutes bout politics/ticket rip off costs yet wastes our time n money paid not hearin songs that fucker can sure talk bout ironic bullshit though....bruce still fuckin has his voice in great shape though but halford losing it but hes 67!!! playing screamin kinda so all the credit to him but he may not be around longer i feel ozzy died maybe after 5th solo album to me even slayer after 5th album....FUCK GHOST FARCE WATERED DOWN KING DIAMOND TO ME LEAVE IT TO THE NEW RETARDED GENERATION THAT REFUSES TO SEE THE OLD GODS!!!!

With so many albums, I can see why things might get blurred a bit when they were asked about Stained Class. Richie Faulkner almost looked reluctant to mention how "Exciter" was the highly influential track they were alluding to. And there was zero mention of WHY this track/album was so influential, namely Les Binks powerful drumming, starting with the double bass intro to Exciter, the opening track on this album. And when Glenn mentioned "Better By You..." (the track associated with the infamous suicide lawsuit), nobody wanted to talk about it.
Now I can totally picture Rob Halford in the crowd at Pistols gig back in 1977. Full leather outfit with a leather clad fist raised in the air like Billy Idol saying "ROIT!'
Glenn is just the Greatest person and such a Hero of mine. God Bless that man. Still has a sense of Humor with whats going on in his life. I hope he lives out a Great Happy Life Fishing or whatever he can do to make him Happy.
i like when talk about Ian, everytime you watch the live shows Ian is always on the right side of the stage next to the amps and never really flashing himself on stage. just plays his bass and goes home.
from barcelona big hugs to steve,rob,glen and ritchie...it was great to watch and listen to this interview...you made my day happier!! cheers everyone!!
67 yrs old AND STILL SCREAMIN FOR VENGEANCE!!!.. HE MIGHT FORGET A FEW THINGS NOW AND THEN BUT WHO DOESN'T.. I MIGHT FORGET A FEW THINGS NOW AND THEN BUT WHO DOESN'T..WHAT???.. WHERE ARE WE BLOKS...
I knew Jonesy couldn't let them get away without mentioning "Breaking the Law", because he probably loved that one because that song was the story of his life!
I have been waiting band waiting and waiting to see these guys again I saw them in Glasgow epithath tour which was meant to be the farewell however missed them a few years later on the redeemer tour and now gonna see them in my country in Glasgow next year with Ozzy they are on first but I really hope we get a little longer of priest jealous Inthe states as you saw them.headlining over Saxon and BSR and then co headlining with purple ( also my heros )
All the good heavy metal bands were once young and crazy. Just be respectful to each of them. Life is short! We don’t need to be negative. Yeah, one time They all Shined and now they’re old and have health issues. In the future, you all will be in that place too. When I’m in my 60’s I’ll still rock and jam with the millennials or grandkids! Live life to its Fullest! It’s time for the new young heavy metals to shine ✨ Keep supporting those who are still around. #JudasPriest-Metal Gods4ever!❤️
Gosh, if people think the Punk and Metal guys from the 70s and 80s are old, just think of how old those 1960s psychedelic bands must feel, not to mention those doo wop/rockabilly guys from the 1950s---however many of them left that are still alive!
Saw them at Twickenham winning post might have been a bit earlier but the bands used to play both venues same promoter I think , was it Fox or something ? It’s such a long time ago now
Nessun Dorma is what she was requesting. It’s a piece from the opera Turandot. He mentioned in an interview that he warms up to that song before shows.
I´m a Priest-fan from Sweden,50 yrs old,been a fan for 30..thanks for uploading this ! Interesting to see,when Glenn speaks,he hardly moves his mouth. Really sad that Judas is Touring with OZZY, when OZZY fights with his desease..I was SO exiting when their Tour started & they had to cancel it after just 1 Week,because of OZZY.
Such down to earth, NORMAL human beings ...considering they are the best band that was , is or will ever be. Met Halford at the Ralphs in North Hollywood before Defenders came out . Blew my mind.
I like how jonesy interviews with no kinda in the biz questions, like "have you heard of so and so and what do you think of them" or like "did you sell any of those Screaming for vengeance albums". Its more like everyday people questions. Sometimes it sounds funny like when he said "are those guys Saxon any good still?" Gotta love it.
Great interview but sad to see they're downplaying KK Downing's role in the formation of the band. KK formed the band with Ian Hill and the brother of Ian's girlfriend was Rob Halford. He joined in '73. Glenn Tipton joined in '74 at the suggestion of the record company, who felt they needed a second guitarist. It seems unfair that these things are rarely mentioned by the band anymore.
Awesome video ... love the Poms chatting about the old days... i am sure half the yanks watching will have no idea what they are on about.. Status Quo ... they where cool
It doesn't matter where you're from, you either are into music history or not. I can definitely keep up with the references. I'm halfway through the interview and so far they've talked about Lonnie Donegan, Status Quo, NWOBHM generally, Maiden, Samson, Angel Witch. Now they're talking about all the Birmingham Bands... good stuff!
I love these Brit blokes, cuz if ya didnt know They were musicians i would think all they do is sit and chat( in a good way). Jones is open to musicians. It's a good time. Jones is kinda encyclopedia of Rock: many don't realize. Stained Class: my bro was jamming to record in the cellar withhis drums.
Sorry for your disease Glen. My mum was diagnosed with Parkins 3 years ago and i know what you are going through. It's hell of a disease, but it's not that bad as long as you have support from family and friends! HOLD ON \m/
Before JUDAS PRIEST, earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And God said: Let There Be METAL!!! And there was metal...
To think that England brought us The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure and the like but also brought us Judas Priest. Who'd think by seeing these guys talk that the so called alternative bands existed in England. I think England still is more associated with alternative of the '80s than metal.
Funny how the songs and albums that mean so much to the fans are a distant memory to the people that created them. Stained class was released 6 years before Defenders yet they get Exciter confused with Freewheel burning?
"Next year is the fiftieth anniversary of Judas Priest"
"When did you start then?"
I love Jonesy
Judas Priest has been kicking ass for 50 years. That is amazing
👍🇸🇪
A joy to see Glen out and about! We think it’s amazing that Priest still write relevant-music to this day and STILL tour.
Halford Thank You for years of pick me up and kick ass music....I found hope and strength in many of the songs. And what a kind well spoken spirit, Rob and his band mates are. Proud fan I am of ya guys.
Best Heavy Metal band of all time! Love Priest. They are our biggest musical influence. \m/ ♥♥♥ \m/

WE LOVE YOU GLENN!
Glen is one of my favorite all time guitar players. His playing style is so fluid.
With so many albums, I can see why things might get blurred a bit when they were asked about Stained Class. Richie Faulkner almost looked reluctant to mention how "Exciter" was the highly influential track they were alluding to. And there was zero mention of WHY this track/album was so influential, namely Les Binks powerful drumming, starting with the double bass intro to Exciter, the opening track on this album. And when Glenn mentioned "Better By You..." (the track associated with the infamous suicide lawsuit), nobody wanted to talk about it.
Jonesy, uncle Rob, Ritchie and Glen.... Fucking awesome.
Now I can totally picture Rob Halford in the crowd at Pistols gig back in 1977. Full leather outfit with a leather clad fist raised in the air like Billy Idol saying "ROIT!'
two of my favorite musical idols steve n rob, together on stage
Birmingham - the birthplace of metal.
Andrew Francis damn right
and crossroads ha
+Andrew Francis
Metal Mecca 🤘
My friends called them Brummies
The birthplace of metal in America is Detroit (and not just for cars!)
Tipton seems sharp still...The mind is there, he looks young, nice head of hair, perfect speech..Glad he can still record and do the occasional gig.
Glenn is just the Greatest person and such a Hero of mine. God Bless that man. Still has a sense of Humor with whats going on in his life. I hope he lives out a Great Happy Life Fishing or whatever he can do to make him Happy.
i like when talk about Ian, everytime you watch the live shows Ian is always on the right side of the stage next to the amps and never really flashing himself on stage. just plays his bass and goes home.
from barcelona big hugs to steve,rob,glen and ritchie...it was great to watch and listen to this interview...you made my day happier!! cheers everyone!!
bloody love Barcelona - one of the greatest cities on earth.
67 yrs old AND STILL SCREAMIN FOR VENGEANCE!!!.. HE MIGHT FORGET A FEW THINGS NOW AND THEN BUT WHO DOESN'T.. I MIGHT FORGET A FEW THINGS NOW AND THEN BUT WHO DOESN'T..WHAT???.. WHERE ARE WE BLOKS...
In every interview I've heard Halford comes across as such a nice guy - One of the nicest in rock. He's also one of its very best vocalists - Still.
66 years old.
what was the question ? :P
Glenn looks better I must say! Glad to see him here. Rock on Glenn \m/
Steve is hilarious. Can't stop laughing. Good to see Tipton in good spirits.
I knew Jonesy couldn't let them get away without mentioning "Breaking the Law", because he probably loved that one because that song was the story of his life!
Love it!! I like how they reminisce about the old days in the UK, I think a lot of Americans wouldn't know a lot of the names but fantastic interview
Great great interview. Glen and Rob are hysterical.
saw them last week in hamilton ontario copps coliseum....they fucking rocked and glenn came out for several tunes.i was 14 again!!!!!
Love Glen and he sounds like Ozzy . "Unleashed in the East" Heavy as it gets live !
Arguably the greatest heavy metal album ever made. Massively influental.
Good lord, 50 years. I am 46 and I feel old...Fucking love the shit outta JP & Halford.
Kings. Just class Guys. Down to Earth, Love there sense of Humor.
I just seen Judas Priest in March and I'm going to see them again in August with Deep Purple
John Collins me too! Seeing them in the Detroit area. Can’t wait!
Lucky bastard
I have been waiting band waiting and waiting to see these guys again I saw them in Glasgow epithath tour which was meant to be the farewell however missed them a few years later on the redeemer tour and now gonna see them in my country in Glasgow next year with Ozzy they are on first but I really hope we get a little longer of priest jealous Inthe states as you saw them.headlining over Saxon and BSR and then co headlining with purple ( also my heros )
Glen is such a great composer/guitarist ....Top notch

Good to see Glenn. One of my biggest influences on guitar. Love his playing !!!
This is one of the best interview shows ever
I remember seeing Judas Priest at the Croydon Greyhound around 1975-76 whenever they had their Sad Wings of Destiny out. Great band.
Saw them at Twickenham winning post might have been a bit earlier but the bands used to play both venues same promoter I think , was it Fox or something ? It’s such a long time ago now
Nessun Dorma is what she was requesting. It’s a piece from the opera Turandot. He mentioned in an interview that he warms up to that song before shows.
Yes got, that too, but her pronunciation was terrible, sadly
Firepower, Taking Lives, Firepower, man's demise!!.. awesome tunes fantastic CD my favorite so far Nostradamus was, now Firepower power is!!
Love Judas Priest Foerever❤️🎸
I´m a Priest-fan from Sweden,50 yrs old,been a fan for 30..thanks for uploading this ! Interesting to see,when Glenn speaks,he hardly moves his mouth. Really sad that Judas is Touring with OZZY, when OZZY fights with his desease..I was SO exiting when their Tour started & they had to cancel it after just 1 Week,because of OZZY.
Love this. Good to see Glen.
Firepower is great
Definitely, guys! just ve got LP, Cassette and poster
Glen is awesome
Excellent Thanks.
He didn't mention Duran Duran, who were from Birmingham.
this made my day 🎸👍
Judas Priest beste Heavy Metal Band aller Zeiten👍👍👍👍👍 Unerreichbar👍👍👍👍👍
Such down to earth, NORMAL human beings ...considering they are the best band that was , is or will ever be. Met Halford at the Ralphs in North Hollywood before Defenders came out . Blew my mind.
Class acts and thanks for showing respect to Glenn
great interview sir!!!
Love this band and these guy’s!
Judas Priest, the only True British Heavy Metal Band,and God bless 'em. We will never see their like again.
Steve Jones is just fantastic.
Excellent interview! Long live Priest!
Could've been better..
Richie Faulkner is AWESOME.
So cool to hear Kerry King from Slayer went to their show .Im guessing thats the show at microsoft centre LA?
I like how jonesy interviews with no kinda in the biz questions, like "have you heard of so and so and what do you think of them" or like "did you sell any of those Screaming for vengeance albums". Its more like everyday people questions. Sometimes it sounds funny like when he said "are those guys Saxon any good still?" Gotta love it.
Great interview but sad to see they're downplaying KK Downing's role in the formation of the band. KK formed the band with Ian Hill and the brother of Ian's girlfriend was Rob Halford. He joined in '73. Glenn Tipton joined in '74 at the suggestion of the record company, who felt they needed a second guitarist. It seems unfair that these things are rarely mentioned by the band anymore.
Yea that's messed up Rob wouldn't mention that, seems integral to the formation of the band
When Ego kills credibility and memory and thankfullness , because KK made Rob back ..
Shame on Jayne , Glenn and .. Rob .
Judas Priest. best, heavy metal band of all time..
lol, was Freewheel burning on Stained Class, WTF! great interview though, good to see Glen out and about, funny guy
I'm with you on that but Steve said 30 something albums and being 67 years old that's a lot to keep up with. Our heroes are getting old and so am I.
Defenders of the faith. How can you forget that?
That is mental that Halford doesn’t know the albums his songs are on lol
@@stevewelborn8744 18 albums, not 30 something.
What is wrong with the nine people who gave this a thumbs down?
Most excellent
I am in SHOCK!
Rob actually asked if FREEWHEEL BURNIN Iis on STAINED CLASS...
50 years is NOW!
Awesome video ... love the Poms chatting about the old days... i am sure half the yanks watching will have no idea what they are on about.. Status Quo ... they where cool
Yes, but the half of us yanks know our UK bands and love the stories!
It doesn't matter where you're from, you either are into music history or not. I can definitely keep up with the references. I'm halfway through the interview and so far they've talked about Lonnie Donegan, Status Quo, NWOBHM generally, Maiden, Samson, Angel Witch.

Jones is kinda encyclopedia of Rock: many don't realize. Stained Class: my bro was jamming to record in the cellar withhis drums.
Has Walter Lure been on this show? Would love to hear about the Heartbreakers, Waldos and the infamous Anarchy Tour...
The Fu!!!!!’ Fu Manchu got a shout out, awesome!
They like the Fu Man Chu. Fu man chu is one of my Favorite Cali bands. Rock On.
Rob rules
The only thing with Steve, it's hard to know when he's joking, or acting serious lol
Only if you can't grasp his humour.
Good Show!
GLENN AND KK ARE RIFF MASTERS!
Excellent podcast! Keep it up!
Metal Gods. "Painkiller" forever!!!!! 🤘🤘
motorhead done a cracking version of god save the queen...
Sorry for your disease Glen. My mum was diagnosed with Parkins 3 years ago and i know what you are going through. It's hell of a disease, but it's not that bad as long as you have support from family and friends!
HOLD ON \m/
The disease is called Parkinson's, not Parkins. I'm sorry that your mother has it.
Fu Manchu is fucking awesome
Before JUDAS PRIEST, earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And God said: Let There Be METAL!!!
And there was metal...
@Vince Abate AC/DC is not metal :p
@Vince Abate Yeah I understand you're referring to "Let there be rock". That's not what I meant.
Whoosh 😜
long live the priest...
Free wheel Burning was on Defenders of the faith not stained glass.
Must've been Rob's idea to use the loveseats lol
Glad to see Glenn .
Speaking of Birmingham , any chance of interviewing Moody Blues ??
Priest n the pistols RAWK
Midlands is the home of hard rock and metal.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: 2020
Other significant bands from Birmingham: GBH, Napalm Death, & Godflesh.
strictlydubwise and BLACK SABBATH
Slade....If your not English You would not know
GODFLESH🤘🏻
BLACK SABBATH.
Broadrick is a genius
They Did Say The Best Part Of The Old Grey Whistle Test Is K K Downing Wearing That. Pimp Hat
is that the son of Steve Morse?
Glenn is precious
When he mentioned Birmingham he should have mentioned The English Beat and Duran Duran.
No. No he should not have.
the moody blues, the move..
Can't believe Rob is 67.
He'll be 70 in August.
A band called SPOOKY TOOTH Originally did Better by you Better than me on the stained class album.
Spooky2 was the album great cult UK band very similar to early Fleetwood Mac
To think that England brought us The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure and the like but also brought us Judas Priest. Who'd think by seeing these guys talk that the so called alternative bands existed in England. I think England still is more associated with alternative of the '80s than metal.
Cheers from Brasil.
One of the few metal bands I like... these guys are the real deal
Great
Glen is hilarious on this interview.
In this interview, not on this interview.
Rob's shout out to ghost.
so sad that you can see Glenn struggling here with his illness
Thanks for that audience. Thats exactly the way people should react
Funny how the songs and albums that mean so much to the fans are a distant memory to the people that created them. Stained class was released 6 years before Defenders yet they get Exciter confused with Freewheel burning?
I wanted to ask Mr Jones did Sidney only play on holidays in the sun and bodies???
It's still all about Halford *full stop
