Just saw him. He still sings better than most who are half his age! Unbelievable singer! Halford is the metal king!
Never cared about him being gay. I love this guy, he's a precious jewel for our Metal community. I'm 50 now, still a Priest fan!! 🤘

Did you care about him being out about his true self and not closeted away?

@@kencoleman5007 That’s good your a caring person. 😂 But he meant that he don’t have any problems with Rob being gay. But yeah, the way he wrote the first sentence made him sound like a prick, but when I read the rest of it, it made more sense. Alls that matters is JUDAS PRIEST KICKS ASS! 🤟🏼 ✌🏼

@sixstringhans-tone5574 Indeed. I've just seen so many comments from people who support Halford's being gay as long his in-song sexuality is plausibly straight. For Josh Kiszka (of Greta Van Fleet) and Lzzy Hale, their target demographics seem more receptive to songs that can be explicitly gay.

We're the same age. When I was growing up, at least in my little pocket of the world, calling someone gay was the hugest insult. Fight-starting words. When Rob came out as gay, it changed my whole perspective. I thought, "Well jeez, he's just as awesome as he ever was. Maybe even more so now for having the guts to announce that. I guess the gay thing doesn't matter so much after all."

@mp-kq3vc It was definitely a big step for musicians when he came out. Whitney Houston's bisexuality was a tightly guarded secret until a few years ago. The next step is freedom to be able to release songs where the musician isn't necessarily playing a role in hetero dynamic. Rebel Girl (by Bikini Kill) was very Sapphic, but like the ladies of tATu, Kathleen Hanna was playing it lez for the sake of being a provocateur. Joan Jett's covering the song adds more authenticity. Etheridge's "Come to My Window" and Fletcher's "Becky's so Hot" take that authenticity up a level because the LGBTQ songwriting isn't performance. I saw the S Club reunion tour, and (now out) Jon Lee got so much audience support when he was able to finally adapt the lyrics so that "Sunshine" was about a guy.
72 and 76 and these guys are still touring! Credit to them and ALSO the MUSIC of the time! ⚡️🎸⚡️🎸⚡️🎸⚡️🎸🎤🎤

congratulations man!
British Steel is still a killer album. It was the first Metal album I bought when I was a little shit, still have it, on vinyl and I still listen to it.
Sammy Hagar: "I'll do a line. But not while i'm singing......!!!" ...........CLASSIC!!!
Saw Priest in the 80’s for the first time in Philly and I still go see them. He’s an amazing singer and the Metal God! I read his book what a life and career. So glad he’s still doing it.
Two of the greats and I am proud to say they never in my experience working arenas did they ever treat even the lowest stage hand with anything but respect. Thanks for a wonderful time in life!!!
I saw Priest in 1990 for the painkiller tour in Albuquerque at Tingly and they where spot on, you could not tell he had any issues with drugs or alcohol. Rob is a beast!!!
Cheers to that Rob! 🍻
awesome interview Halford rocks!!!!!
This guy comes from Birmingham, like me. Rob got out of Birmingham. He broke out. He made it. Big Love.
I got clean and sober in 88. Still a Judas Priest fan. The Hell Bent for Leather still gets weekly play.
Saw both these legends live many times!!! I Love them!!!
The metal god is not a screamer. He is the Pavaroti of chaos son 🤘🤘
SCREAMING FOR VENGANCE 💋
I get that this video is meant to represent Rob and I love him but I’ve just got to say that Sammy is and has always been one of the absolute greatest rock artists to ever take command of a stage. Thank you Sammy
He's breaking the law! breaking the law!
" Heaven Isn't Too Far Away . . . " RIP Jani Lane
Rob and Sammy are going to do it until they can't anymore. My hat's off to them for continuing their legacy
When he said Motörhead I was so happy!
Sammy, Rob great! Magic. Right on guys thanks means a lot
Metal God 🤘
Love this!
AAARRREEE YYYOOOUUUUUHHHHIIIIGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!! Greatest Metal Scream ever!!!!!!
JP's live concert(s) in seminole Florida from about 2009 are amongst their best and u can find them on utube. they played british steel from front to back and they sound phenomenal....

Gotta love and respect Rob Halford, he's still kicking ass with JP ! Ok rock tune in the end, but you dont have the great and awesome Steve Stevens on stage just to play rhythm guitar ! He's a true legend and kicks Duffy's butt, solo wise, any day of the week !
BLOOD RED SKIIIIIIIIIES 🙌🏻🔮💯
Who's the other guitarist other than Steve Stevens on stage at the end?

I have two words for Rob Halford: Jani Lane.
Ummmmm, didn't hear the comment on his sobriety having a big impact. Unless it was 3 seconds long & I missed it in the interview. I'm going to go back & listen again. If I don't hear it clearly...CLICKBAIT!!!
Quit cutting him off Sammy

Sammy doesn’t shut up, always gotta try to insert his own stories into the convo … robs trying to get out what he wants to say , and Sammy has to add his tidbits,instead of letting rob finish what he started… no wonder Al and Eddie got sick of him

Did he diddle Jani or not?
In my top 5 metal singers..& my favorite Gay singer.. haha... He can still sing like he's 30... can't wait to go to Denver in October to see Priest...
We all know the roots. There's so much new talent and music out there, how about giving them a platform?
Maybe get got sober after taking Jani lanes cherry pie...
Honestly, I don't think Halford caught LSD. He has always been a smart team player, both in JP and in solo projects. For real LSD, look at Ronnie Dio, Axl Rose etc.
Would have been a much better interview if Hagar would have shut up once in a while.
Sammy shouldve KNOWN Rob was a screamer...Rob wrote screaming for vengence!...Duh..
Hagar interupts too much.
No he's not gay don't tell me that.. call Brian Oliver's records😅
He has fond memories of slipping Jaine a mickey then proceeding pump and dump...lol
Ask Rob what he did to Jani Lane from Warrant. Despicable human
Everyone knew he was gay. He’s from the uk.😂
I was a fan until I heard horrible rape stories about him and his manager in the early 80’s
Is Trump on drugs? I'm not from USA but I can see that Trump almost lies about everything. What a mad show! 😅
Has he found Jesus Christ yet? . I don’t think so. I’ll pray for him though.
Not a fan

The first time you take a drink of alcohol like its medicine you're in for trouble.
