\n<\/a>When we last spoke to Rob Halford it was in our summer for promotion of his album\u201cWinter Songs\u201d, ironically now that its actually winter here, we had the opportunity to once again talk to the nicest guy in Metal who has just released a new Live CD and DVD film called\u00a0\u2018Live in Anaheim.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Metal God took some time to discuss the live album with us, his new record coming later this year, a memory or two of Ronnie James Dio and gave me a visual I\u2019ll probably never stop laughing about.<\/p>\n

Turn it up!<\/p>\n

I wanted to ask about \u2018Live in Anaheim\u2019 the official soundtrack has just recently been released and is a collection of Judas Priest, Fight and Halford material, basically a snapshot of your career, almost a best of but in a live environment.\u00a0 Is this the perfect release of where you are now to showcase exactly who you are and have been?
\n<\/strong>Yeah it\u2019s a little bit of everything isn\u2019t it really?\u00a0 I think was an important gig for me because ironically enough it was the last show I did with Halford 7 or 8 years ago before I went back to Priest, so to finally get around to having the opportunity to release it now is kind of interesting.\u00a0 Its like a look back but its kind of also focusing on some of the things that the Halford band is doing for the rest of this year before Priest roars out again in 2011, so it\u2019s a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n

What was it specifically that led you to release this particular show out of no doubt all the shows in the archives?<\/strong>
\nWell you know, we\u2019ve got loads of material, we filmed nearly every show that the Halford band and the Fight band was doing.\u00a0 We had cameras set up on the stage and the sound desk, some of it sounds like crap, some of it looks like crap, a lot of it is brilliant, so its just a case of wading through it all.\u00a0 There\u2019s so much stuff in the vaults, but I think the Anaheim one was valuable.\u00a0 I mean everything looked good, everything sounded good and in the order of release, since this Metal God records company came into being, we\u2019ve slowly been bringing out all of this material from the past and setting it up through that way of release and this is pretty much right now the last thing that we have for the foreseeable future because we\u2019re gonna move on now with some new material that we want to share with everybody.<\/p>\n

The DVD release of \u2018Live in Anaheim\u2019 is due out I believe at the beginning of August?<\/strong>
\nYes it is yeah, it looks fabulous, I mean the sound, Roy did a fantastic job on the sound, all the editing, the colouring, everything, its just a really great show to look at. It\u2019s got a tremendous amount of passion and fire in the performance and again it\u2019s a little bit of Metal history really.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually more of a film that just a performance?<\/strong>
\nAgain you just try and make the whole experience as interesting as you can, so although the film is the main feature there\u2019s other bits and pieces floating around as well, you know just to make it entertaining and interesting.<\/p>\n

You talk about it being a great snapshot of your career, was that the idea behind making it, to give everyone that perception?<\/strong>
\nYeah I mean, there\u2019s bootlegs all over the place ha ha as you could imagine, so if you\u2019re a real fan and you want to add something to your collection, this is probably the best way to go around doing it, because you\u2019re getting something really top class in quality.<\/p>\n

You are on the OZZfest bill for the first time since 2004, back then it was with Priest, but you\u2019re playing now as Halford.<\/strong>
\nYes, I was thrilled about that I put my two pennies in to say I was available if you\u2019ve got a slot for me and lo and behold I got the news a few days later of come on lets go and have a bit of a knock together and go out and have some fun, so I\u2019m looking forward to that.<\/p>\n

What can your fans expect to hear at these shows?<\/strong>
\nWell we\u2019ve got the San Francisco show coming this Saturday so that will be on You Tube within about twenty minutes ha ha ha ha ha and you\u2019ll be able to kind of get an ear full of the material that we\u2019re playing there.\u00a0 I would imagine we\u2019ll pretty much do the same in the OZZfest set, we haven\u2019t got as much time actually, I think we\u2019ve only got about 45 minutes for OZZfest so it\u2019ll be the bulk of the show that you\u2019ll see from San Francisco is what you\u2019ll see at OZZfest and the Montreal Metal Fest which is a week on Saturday over in Canada.<\/p>\n

Can we expect any new material to be debuted at these shows?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m thinking about it, yeah, I mean we\u2019ve got this new record coming out in October I think it is, the\u00a0\u2018Made of Metal\u2019\u00a0record and we\u2019ll be airing one or two ideas just to give the fans a listen and check that out.\u00a0 But the new record is very diverse it\u2019s all over the place.\u00a0 I mean that one track\u00a0\u2018The Mower\u2019\u00a0that just came out is not really indicative of the rest of the material, every track is very very different. It\u2019s probably the best display of everything in Heavy Metal you know, right from the early blues to the extreme moments like\u00a0\u2018The Mower\u2019\u00a0and everything in between.<\/p>\n

With a catalogue spanning over 30 years, how hard is it to put your set together when you are playing with Halford as opposed to a Priest show?<\/strong>
\nWell I was just listening to the set we\u2019re going to do.\u00a0 I just went for a walk around the park here in San Diego and I was listening to the set list and it sounds pretty solid, it took a while to figure it all out. I mean in essence this is about the Halford band obviously, just to reintroduce the music that I still feel can do the business, also just a kind of to have something to do ha ha, because as important as it is for Priest to take a break this year, it drives me mental.\u00a0 I have to keep busy, I cant sit around, I want to do something.\u00a0 So this is why I\u2019m just taking to the opportunity to have a bit of a knock and have a few good times with the Halford band and release some new material and let everyone get a vibe about Metal God records and the clothing company and everything else, more than ever you\u2019ve really gottta go out and do this thing otherwise its gets lost in the mix.\u00a0 There\u2019s so much stuff going on in the world, you know, in Metal, but if you don\u2019t stick your head up and go \u2018hey have a look over here, check this out\u2019 its easy to get, not necessarily overlooked but it\u2019s confusing, there\u2019s so much wonderful stuff that you get lost in the big ocean of metal you know.\u00a0 So a lot of combined reasons to just get out and have a knock and have some good times.<\/p>\n

To be in the game for nearly 40 odd years, yet your enthusiasm and desires to constantly be innovative\/try new things is as strong as ever…. What is it that drives you so strongly?<\/strong>
\nWithout getting too intense on it, I just love living life and I think that it\u2019s a blessing to be in any kind of band and to have the support of your fans with you.\u00a0 I mean I can\u2019t do what I do without all the wonderful fans that check out the shows and the music and so forth, so its many, many things really.\u00a0 This is all I ever wanted to do, this is all I ever wanted to be, and so you just take every opportunity that you can, because it ain\u2019t going to last forever.\u00a0 I mean the music will always live forever but you just face reality and I\u2019m not a young guy any more. I still do my gig as far as what the voice can do and that\u2019s the main reason I\u2019m still going out there, I mean when the voice says goodnight ha ha ha ha ha that\u2019ll be it mate.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be round the pub ha ha ha.\u00a0 I mean I\u2019m just having a joke here, I don\u2019t really think about it to be honest Troy, I think once you start thinking about how long you\u2019ve been at it and how much is left you kind of get a bit confused there so I just take it every day at a time and have a great time and do as much as I can for Metal.<\/p>\n

You are heading to play Japan’s “Loud Park” Festival in October this year, what are the chances of you heading across to Australia for some shows as well?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re looking at it right now Troy, I mean there\u2019s nothing set in stone but I said to management and to the agents, I said look we\u2019re over there, we can easily just nip down to Australia even if its only for a couple of gigs, so they\u2019re working on it, and as soon as we know what\u2019s available we\u2019ll put it on our website.<\/p>\n

Of course the Metal world was saddened by the passing of Ronnie James Dio recently, how did his passing affect you? \u00a0<\/strong>
\nWell as a personal friend of mine it was absolutely shattering you know, I mean I\u2019d only seen him a couple of weeks earlier at the Golden Gods awards in Hollywood.\u00a0 We had a bit of a natter, talking about this that and the other, and of course two weeks later he\u2019s gone.\u00a0 It was just like my legs went out from under me like they did for a lot of people, fans and other musicians.\u00a0 We knew he was ill, we knew he was getting treatment and so I think everybody was kind of optimistic and sadly he was taken from us, and its just terrible.\u00a0 I was like down in the dumps for days and days and days, all I listened to was Ronnie.\u00a0 I just listened to all of his music and that was just a comfort as I think we use music in our lives when we have tragedies that we have to get through on a personal level, but anyway, God bless him.\u00a0 His music and his voice will live on forever.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite story or experience involving Ronnie James Dio that you care to share?<\/strong>
\nJust that when we did that\u00a0\u2018Hear N Aid\u2019\u00a0thing all those years ago, it would just amaze me that he was able control it so masterfully, because you had all of this different talent.\u00a0 You had all of these different high profile people in Rock and Metal and he was like the guy in charge and he just did it so well.\u00a0 I think that was just a reflection of even then how much he was loved.\u00a0 People were ready to do whatever needed to be done to give him the best moment in that song, so that\u2019s just a really strong memory for me.\u00a0 And recently on the tour, the Metal Masters tour with Priest, Heaven and Hell and Lemmy, just being with your mates and being out and having a bit of food and a drink is the best feeling in the world really.\u00a0 May he Rest in Peace.
\nYes, definitely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Judas Priest kind of being on hiatus this year, well at least visibly… Are there any plans\/dates etc slotted into the calendar in the foreseeable future with Priest?<\/strong>
\nOh yes, absolutely that why I\u2019m just roaring through what\u2019s left of this year and doing as much as I can.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be going back home at Christmas, back to the UK and then seeing the guys and we\u2019ll be ramping everything up for Priest to go back out through 2011 and into 2012 again.<\/p>\n

I did see the show last time you were here and it was amazing.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019d be great to come back, we\u2019d love to do the British Steel show for you because I don\u2019t think we did that did we?\u00a0 So there\u2019s a lot of countries who would love to see that show.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve checked out the British Steel DVD it\u2019s a bit of Metal magic that is, so anyway, fingers crossed we\u2019ll be seeing you sometime next year.<\/p>\n

Now something a little bit different, you leant your voice to a couple of characters in the video game \u2018Brutal Legend\u2019, how did you get approached to be a part of that?<\/strong>
\nI just got an email from somebody, I can\u2019t remember now; I think his name is Troy as well, from \u2018Double Fine\u2019, the software company in the San Francisco area.\u00a0 But the fact that it was going to be a Heavy Metal game, the main guy had his mind set on some of the players that he wanted to approach and I\u2019d never done anything like that before.\u00a0 I\u2019m absolutely rubbish when it comes to playing those games, I\u2019ve got no coordination whatsoever.\u00a0 The only thing I can do is like that Nintendo Wii, like with us in Priest ha ha we\u2019re doing the bowling and the golf, that kind of thing and anything that\u2019s a bit frantic.\u00a0 We can\u2019t get our heads around these mad video games that the kids play, but I met this bloke and we talked it through and I could tell that he was sincere and genuine and about his love heavy metal.\u00a0 So it was all pretty straight forward. It was a bit like recording like I normally do, but it was like talking rather than singing.\u00a0 You know he would give me the direction and prompt me to perform the lines and so on and I had a good time doing it and I think it turned out really well.<\/p>\n

Ha ha I just got the best image of you guys backstage in the leathers playing on the Wii..<\/strong>
\nHa ha ha ha ha yeah, it\u2019s really funny.<\/p>\n

You have a new Halford album coming out later in the year and with your last album being “Winter Songs”, can we expect anything out of the ordinary with the new Halford release?<\/strong>
\nNot out of the ordinary I don\u2019t think, no.\u00a0 You know I think I can honestly say that I\u2019ve done it all. I don\u2019t have anything left to prove really in terms of what we\u2019re trying to do in music.\u00a0 If anything if I\u2019m proving anything that\u2019s left to prove its that I\u2019m still committed and dedicated to being a Metal musician.\u00a0 So these songs are all over the place and they go from the blues all the way to the extreme feature of that Mower track that came out recently.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good record and interesting songs you know, exciting and puts you all over the place so hopefully you will enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Lastly, how has the Metal God Apparel and Metal God records been going? Any new products you wish to plug whilst you have an opportunity for some free advertising ha ha!<\/strong>
\nWell thank you, Metal God apparel is doing really well, and its ironic really, because in terms of you can\u2019t illegally download a T-shirt ha ha ha! I mean I\u2019m sure there\u2019s some knock off\u2019s in China that I\u2019ll find out about but its doing really good thanks.\u00a0 And the Metal God record company is solid now, I was like the Metal guinea pig now I\u2019m getting it all sorted and all knocked in to shape and we\u2019re ready now.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been encouraging people from all over the world to send us their music and the next step, probably next year is probably looking at the talent that we want to release on that, so its doing really well thank you.<\/p>\n

Thanks Rob for your time.<\/strong>
\nCheers mate, all the best and I\u2019ll see you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
