Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford is urging all metal fans to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
“Hi everyone. This is your metal god, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, sending you a massive shoutout of thanks to our metal community for doing the right thing by getting the life-saving vaccine that will eventually eradicate COVID-19 around the world,” the rocker began in his video message uploaded to Instagram.
“One thing we’re proud about in metal is that we not only stand together united for our music, but also for each other,” the rocker declared, before reminding fans that vaccinations will likely enable the return of live music. “Common sense states that by having the jab, we’re opening up one of the most important areas that we have so desperately missed, which is being side by side, horns way up at clubs, theaters, arenas and festivals where who we are and what we live for is tangible and real with the bands we love. So let’s get those amazing vibes and feelings back faster.”
Halford closed his message by urging those who have not yet been vaccinated to “please stand up,” adding that “Judas Priest and all bands everywhere are made complete by playing live for our fans.”
Watch the singer's full message in the video below.
Halford is one of the many rock stars to champion the importance of vaccinations via their personal social media accounts. At the end of March, the singer posted an image of himself proudly displaying his COVID-19 vaccination card, with the one word caption “done.”
JP now worships their electric eye.
I’ve heard Elvis,Michael Jackson and John Lennon will do a video tomorrow showing them getting the Rona shot.
As do Hank Aaron and Marvin Hagler.
Exactly. Actors and musicians have all gone full in on with a message of “OBEY” the left wing fascist state.
Breaking the law!
Breaking the law!
Get a jab, sha na na na, sha na na na na.
Yip yip yip yip, mum mum mum mum...
I certainly won’t. I’m waiting for Johnny Rotten to tell me what to do.
If he thinks I’ll get vaccinated, he’s got another thing comin’.
“I am perpetual I keep the country clean!”
LOL, I always think of the Beavis and Butthead episode. “Washin’ the Dog!....Washin’ the Dog!”
Hey, Halford, your odds of dying from AIDS are far greater than mine of contracting and dying from COVID 19.
"Electric Eye" by Judas Priest
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
But you don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected protected, detected, Electric Eye!
What Rob Halford is really saying is that everyone should get injected with a lab experiment so over-the-hill bands can make money on tour.
Slightly OT.. Keneally toured with Zappa in 1988 but his own music is excellent. I highly recommend it. I don't think Mike is pushing the vaxxx...
“Idiot. This guy is giving us medical advice when he takes it right up the Wazoo, one of the most unhealthy things you can do.”

Iron Maiden > Judas Priest
I miss the boys...
I remember that! “Judas Priest” was a cuss word.
Hey now remember Bruce Dickinson did that PSA with Vince and Larry...
