The battle goes on for me; as a gay man, I shall not be happy until I see equality across the board. Rob Halford Read Quote
I love early blues like Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf. I listened to the way these people sang, and it was just beautiful – straight from the soul. That, for me, was an inspiration. Rob Halford Read Quote
Making a record is an intimate experience. A good producer can get things out of you that you can’t get out of yourself. Rob Halford Read Quote
Some songs are dead easy, and others can be quite challenging. Other times, you just have to put it in the bin. Rob Halford Read Quote
It’s best to keep things as free and open as you can. It’s good to have a template, but then you go back and dissect it and see where you can make improvements. That’s pretty much been the case with every Priest song that’s ever been written. Rob Halford Read Quote
I never tire of the drive from Phoenix to San Diego, and it is mostly desert, obviously, but you get different varieties of desert terrain. Rob Halford Read Quote
The great thing about Priest, in all the years that we’ve been making heavy metal music, is that we’ve always kind of carried this metal flag, if you will – this beacon of hope that, no matter what you may be going through in life, there’s always a sense of overcoming difficulties, a sense of winning, a sense of coming out on top.

I chew a special brand of gum that you can’t get in America. It’s British, and it’s called Airwaves. It’s a menthol eucalyptus gum that is a very soothing thing for me when I’m singing because I’m swallowing, and it also keeps my sinuses and general upper breathing clear. I’ve got to be able to hit these clear, clean notes. Rob Halford Read Quote
