Rob Halford: That will be the Fight piece and other things we've got lurking in the background. We just want to let everybody know that the Halford band is still alive and kicking and we'll be showing more of the band.
Unlike a lot of artists that had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the new millennium, you've always seemed to embrace new technology like the internet and have been in the forefront of the digital age. Why do you think that is?
It's remarkable. The internet is barely a decade old. We've lived in the revolution just like people who were around when the radio or TV were invented. The internet is just as important as those inventions were. All kinds of things were running through my mind when the internet first surfaced, then exploded the first few years. I just knew that it would dramatically affect the entertainment world, which it has done. So you run to it and embrace it. If you don't you get left out in the parking lot. That's why we put Metal God Entertainment together and we have a very successful and active website where the fans live around the world. You really have to appreciate and understand the value of that. The first thing that I thought about is that it's amazing that a fan in Japan can speak to a fan in Nebraska about Judas Priest or Halford. You have to embrace it and utilize it and make it do good things. It's amazing and I love it. It keeps everything alive and vibrant and energized.
What have been some of the high points in your career?
The day I became a professional musician was the most dramatic one for me, to know I could be in a profession I love. There's a phrase that if you find something to do in life that you love, you'll never work another day in your life. And I think that's the fortune that I've experienced the past three decades. It all started with that. I do count my blessings, because rock and roll is full of tragedy.
