JUDAS PRIEST Frontman: Upcoming DVD Project To Include Special Extras

January 13, 2006

U.K. magazine Classic Rock recently conducted a short interview with JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford about the group's recently released DVD "Rising in the East". The brief question-and-answer session follows:

Q: Why are there no special features [on the DVD]?

Rob Halford: "Extras can be a cool thing to add to a DVD, but we decided to save 'em for what will be our next DVD project. As I said, we've got several other things in the can, including the Birmingham show. This is just a great piece of metal memorabilia."

Q: When PRIEST played London last March, your voice was far stronger on the first of the two nights. Are you happy with how it's held up through the epic comeback tour?

Rob Halford: "When you consider the many thousands of shows I've played it's still in pretty good nick. I do things with my voice that most people can't even contemplate. But when you're singing songs that were recorded 20 years ago, it's hard. I always go out there and give my best shot. To go from an accoustic version of 'Diamonds and Rust' to a full-on romp through 'Painkiller' is a challenge for any vocalist."
