  Speaker 1: You know. The cool thing about this, uh, this tour
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: with Purple firstly clucking events because let's sort of think here,

  Speaker 1: Purple have been together for what about fifty years now

• 2:18

  Speaker 1: bands are roaring along, having the time of our lives.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And we have a bit of a connection with Deep
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Purple because Roger Gloves are the bass player. He produced
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the third album the Priests ever made a record, Cole
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Sin after sing, So we go way back with Roger
• 2:43

• 2:45
  Speaker 1: road with these guys. We're both we're both road warriors,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you know, we love what we do. We're out troubling
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the world constantly when we're not watching or recording studio.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So this is a real special time and we're so
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: excited to be coming to jack and go to share
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it with you guys. Rob Halford with us from Judas Priests. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: forty nine years now, almost fifty it's hard to believe.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, what what keeps it fresh for you? Well?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Why are you still doing it? Well? J K. So
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, you know, the team has been around
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a long time. And what it is, it's the love
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and passion that you have for what you do. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: as long as you've got that, and as long as
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you've got your health and you've got all the main
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: componiments into wanting to go out nights after night and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: give a thousand percent, then you keep doing it. Man,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You know, you there's there's nothing stuff in you when
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you have the drive and the energy and the love.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So the things that we do within Judas Priest and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: my death sir, if the people don't mind me speaking
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for them a little bit, they feel the same way too,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know. So it's a blessing, man, it's a blessing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I guess both of us had no clue but in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: what which still the rotting around the planet playing our
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: music for our wonderful fans all over the place. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it's just a joy. We're so very happy and glad
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and grateful, you know, after all those years. The last
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: eight to ten years have been particularly great for Judas Priest.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You've got the Grammy award in after a few times
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: try and I don't know if that's a big deal.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's obviously a big deal to you. But
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're trying for that, per se.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But now you've got a new album out in eighteen
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: as well as debuted as at number five on the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Billboard Top two hundred, the highest ever position for Judas Priest.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Firepower is the name of the album. So you got
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a Grammy. Now you're you're still making new albums and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that keeps everything going too well. That's the thing I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: think it's about, you know, feeling relevant. Whenever Priest has
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: gone out on the road for as long as I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: can remember, it's to promote a new release, a new record,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and you know, that's what we thrive on. Again, like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a sports you thrive on the moves that you make.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You know, where do your hostle here? Where do you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: throw the ball there? There's always there's always a new
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: approach and new a new way to attack the work
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that you love to do. And so it's the same
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: with Priest. When we go out with this h this
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Firepower record, as you mentioned, which is doing incredibly well.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We thank all of our friends are supporting us with
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that release. Sort of our maniacs have given us a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: great time for Priests right now and and to back
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: up Puckly. You know, the Grammys is a big deal
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for a band like Priest. We're a British heavy metal band,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: so to be um to be bestowed with that beautiful
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: trophy that that award, it's just a boost. Man. It's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a recognition to what judas Priest do, but but more
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: so to the kind of music that we love to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: play the millions of our fans level all of the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: United States. So yeah, Graham is a very very special
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: talkens of of of a captains and and and just
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you know, just the accolade that this involved when you're
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: surrounded well by your peers, by these incredibly talented other musicians. Yeah,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's just fantastic. That was for
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the Best Metal Performance Aggressor for the Grammy Award. There, Hey,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: what are we going to hear at this concert Wednesday night?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: What what songs do you have lined up? Man? I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: tell you we have to put on the boxing gloves
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and when we sit down to set us together, because look,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: eighteen studio albums in on average ten songs apart, that's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of music to pick from. Um, here's the deal.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: We're out promoting firepower, so you're going to get some
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of that good. Listen, that'd be a riot if we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: didn't give you breaking the law ironically enough, oliving after
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: midnight or another thing coming roaring the Harley Davidson out
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with hell bed for Leather, which is a special moment
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: because as you probably know, J. P. Glenn is battling
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like a hero with his Parkinson's challenge right now. And
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: um so Andy Sneep is standing in Glenn sparke. Andy
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Sneap produced the record along with Tom Allen. Um. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: here's the cool thing about the bike. We're parking the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: bike out front of every venue so for five bucks,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: thirty five bucks in the park and you can sit
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on the bike and on the bike that the metal
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: God rides out with health vents leather and share that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: heavy metal memory. And every penny about five bucks goes
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to the Glenn Tips and Parkinson's Foundation. So all of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: those things, all those great moments were coming to re
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: celebrate with a lot of our metal maniacs in Florida.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Very very good stuff and a great cause as well. There, Rob,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is it the same motorcycle you've always had or have
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you switched it up over the years? Ah, well, here's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the deal. We still have the basic frame and engine
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: everything of the eight one low Rider that we've bought
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Harlie Davidson. Let us have that bike for a dullar
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: one dollar. You know, times back, got to keep the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: legal JP you know about the legal side of the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that we can do. I go to us for a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: book and it's been chopped up a little bit. It's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: this big, big steel chrome beast that's in its cage
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and it's k back in the UK and we've bring
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that We're bring that machine out every so often. But
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that's a treasure. That's a treasured lighting right now. That's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: like the Batmobile. But we've got without this beautiful soft
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: tail with us right now. There's painted up gloriously in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the firepower artwork colors and so yeah, um, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it's just a special part of the show. When the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: fantasy here that the Harley roar in through the speakers,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: they know that we're about to all go help bunt
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a leather together. Gotta finish with the sports question for
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: your robe. Are you an NFL fan? Are you a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: football fan? What do you what do you watch? You're
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: not seeing the two sports that I really like I'll

• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Peoenix Suns son, and I still had I was there
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: through the glory years and and that's that's enough to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: be authentic to what the guys are doing now. We
