Granted, that doesn't take much. the lauryn hill thing seems to be extreme in terms of the reactions it gets; sort of like eminem, but for oprah viewers. actually, i thought Appetite for Destruction and Like a Prayer were solid choices, even though I don't have and don't care about having either. GNR probably don't get as much credit for chopping down the 80's hair bands/drag queens as they deserve; if AFD doesn't hit first, nevermind can't completely obliterate it. and the singles of LAP were certainly among the more interesting ones madonna's done musically. and she is great at being a pop star, which is more than you can say for most. she works hard at the job, and actually understands that stirring up shit is an important part of it. ===== "With [Amnesiac] we are definitely having singles, videos, glossy magazine celebrity photo shoots, children's television appearances, film premiere appearances, dance routines, and many interesting interviews about my tortured existence." -- Thom Yorke Yahoo!

I was awakened a couple of hours later when I thought I heard a Bob Dylan concert in my sleep. Turned out to be Steve Earle on "Sessions at West 54th." I stayed awake and watched him play a couple of familiar sounding tunes that I could swear were early Dylan, but I haven't been able to place them. In fact, the song I thought I was hearing in my sleep was "It's alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" but I was still half asleep when he played the final note chances are it wasn't really that song. Is anyone familiar with this performance, during which he shared the stage with Del McCoury's band? Were there any actual Dylan tunes performed or was this all original material? My initiation to Steve Earle came a good 12 years ago with "Copperhead Road," which wasn't my cup of tea so I ignored his ensuing releases. But I really enjoyed what I saw on "Sessions" last night. Even "that fiddle and banjo crap," as Martin Mull would say. It was more stimulating than "His Girl Friday" anyway. - -rUss ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 11:47:12 -0500 From: Jon Fetter Subject: Re: Film (0% sci-fi or comic-book content, believe it or not) >It doesn't open wide until the 12th.

Nardwuar vs. Rob Halford Nardwuar: Who are you? Halford: Who am I... who am I... (laughs) Nardwuar: You're the metal god! Now the rumour is that you played "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" at a theatre. Is that true? Halford: No no no no. Where is that from? My life is surrounded by rumours. I'm like one big rumour. What you might be thinking of was a baseball event that I was a part of with the Arizona Diamond Backs baseball team at the Bank One ball park. It opened some years ago and I sang the national anthem there with Dave Mustaine, Alice Cooper, Nils Lofgren and a bunch of other local talent. And that was a really cool special event, but that's my only association with baseball 'cause still after all these years I look at a baseball game and say, "What is that guy doing over there?" and "Why is he running over there?" You know? I'm still confused as all hell when it comes to baseball. Nardwuar: Rob Halford, your new cd is amazing. I mean, it's amazing. You're totally back. I mean, not that you were gone before, but like the 3.5 octave range... is that why you can hold the same notes for twenty years? How do you do it? Halford: I don't know that it's coffee... lots of coffee, and nicotine, which I'm not using right now for health issues, but I will when I finish this interview. Umm, but I don't know. I mean, the thing about singers is that we've all got different abilities. We're born with what you've got. What I tried to do when I began this heavy metal thing years and years ago is just experiment and do as many things as I could do with the voice. And I've just been given this gift of all the extra possibilities. You know, like notes that only dogs can hear, that kind of a thing. Nardwuar: (reading Rob's Lyrics from his new CD, Resurrection) "I am God. I am Hate. I am all the sins you... Halford: Make. Nardwuar: I was curious Rob, you've been kind of pegged over the years as a Satanist. For instance, from the Washington Post, January 1991, "Halford loves opera and classical music and collects modern art..." Halford: Yeah, where does... Nardwuar: ...and then they go on to say "Not your average Satan" Halford: Yeah, (laughs) but where does Satan come into all this? Nardwuar: They love digging at that. Halford: Well you know it's because they've got nothing else to talk about. They want to find some kind of controversial moment. So they kind of sit there at their typewriter thinking "Judas Priest... that sounds a little... Judas... that was the dude that did the bad stuff on Christ. Okay, that's kind of evil. Priest? Yeah, there's something really malevolent about this. Okay, Satan's there somewhere." Nardwuar: You did throw in '666' on your new album "Resurrection". (Nardwuar then shows Rob the book 'Rock: Practical Help For Those Who Listen to the Words and Don't Like What They Hear' by Bob Larson) Have you heard of this guy Bob Larson, Bob Halford? Halford: Bob Larson? No who is this guy? Nardwuar: He's from the Bob Larson Ministries. Check this out. This is a quote here about Judas Priest from his book, If I could just read it right here to you. "With a stage act ranging from smoke bombs to bull whips, the leather clad image of Judas Priest..." Halford:(looking at a particular word Nardwuar missed reading out) "Bellicose" ! I love this word "bellicose" I'm going to use this word on the next Halford album. I swear that I will use the word "bellicose" Nardwuar: I was afraid to pronounce it... continuing on, "Fits well with their heavy metal earsplitting music. Dressed in chains and studs, singer Rob Halford has been known to drop his leather drawers mid-concert." Have you ever done that, Rob? Halford: Yeah I do that most nights. yeah why not? Nardwuar: "When asked if he was personally involved in the S&M love torture techniques parodied in his performances Halford replied "To a certain extent. Sexually I've always been to the fullest extent of the experience S&M has to offer. It's nice to experiment by yourself and get off on whatever you get off on." Halford: Yeah, my best friend is a jar of baby oil and a porno mag. Nardwuar: "A rock magazine promoting one of other albums may have said it best 'Judas Priest has sin for sale.' " Rob Halford, what do you think of that? Halford: I don't know exactly what this book is about. What is it about? Nardwuar: It's about all of the 'bad' bands... Halford: (looking at back cover of book) They listen to the words and don't like what they hear? Nardwuar: Well... I guess I was curious do you have a dungeon in your house? Halford: Yeah, actually. I do actually. Yeah, I have a dungeon and it's in my place in Phoenix and it's right next to the workout room. Uh, 'cause you have to pump up a sweat before you go into the dungeon routine. But in the dungeon I've got like a sling, I've got like a gynocological chair, I've got whips and chains and black candles and all this other cool stuff. Nardwuar: Which is... Halford: Which is up for sale shortly 'cause I'm moving. Nardwuar: On the internet. Halford: That's a good idea. Ebay. Watch out! Nardwuar: Just like some guy from Stryper put who put up all his stuff for sale. I think one of those Stryper outfits was for sale. Halford: Y'know KISS just had their big auction. You could buy a piece of crap from KISS for like two thousand dollars. Nardwuar: But Rob, what's amazing is Pat Boone... you're approved by Pat Boone. Pat Boone covered one of your songs, right? Explain a bit about that. Like the parents should know that. Y'know, screw Satan! Halford: Yeah, you know isn't this bizarre. Here's Pat Boone bubbling, speaking in tongues, trying to heal people with his hands and he gives me a call and says "Rob, will you sing on my album, 'Pat Boone In a Heavy Metal Mood'? (laughs) So he sends me this kind of swing Las Vegas version of... (snaps his fingers and puts on a crooner's voice) "You Got Another Thing Coming" baybee, yeah! Nardwuar: Right here before your gig, Rob, what is your pre-gig warm-up? I heard you listen to a lot of Sabbath. Halford: I think this is it. I'm having it right now. I could literally walk from this room and rip the skin off people's faces. Nardwuar: (reading Rob's lyrics) " Saviour: There can only be one. I'm the master past and future." People look up to you, Rob. "Heavy Metal Parking Lot". You were out in the parking lot just earlier. What do you think about the movie "Heavy Metal Parking Lot"? Halford: That's a semblance of everything that we do. The people out there are what make everything that we do happen. Nardwuar: The one from '86. The movie from '86. Do you remember that? Did you ever go in the parking lot? Halford: Yeah, (laughs) I've been going to parking lots ever since I got into rock'n'roll. And that's a good place to see and meet the real people. Meet the real fans. They're out there right now here in Vancouver in the parking lot. I was just hanging out with them, signing stuff, talking to 'em. You know, wherever we go, that's where it's at. Nardwuar: Well, it's a good thing you didn't go there in '86, that lady wanted to "jump your bones" and you wouldn't have been able to go up on stage. Halford: Well... didn't you know yet? (laughs) Nardwuar: Rob, what came first S&M fashion like in "Cruisin'" or S&M fashion in Heavy Metal? Like who stole from who? Halford: Way before. That whole S&M thing was way before even heavy metal. I got this vintage collection of all that stuff and it goes way back to the '50s and '60s. I mean, I took that as a way of expressing the music that I was a part of because metal when I began had no visual connection. So when I started to put on the leather jacket and the whips and the chains and everything, it was absolutely perfect. Here was a look, here was a image that completely tied in to the sound and the power and the drama of the heavy metal itself. Nardwuar: And you completely influenced people. One of the times you played in this very arena here , the Pacific Coliseum, in Vancouver, in 1984 ... this is a picture, Rob, of all the stuff that was confiscated at the door of that concert! Halford: (looking at photo) Yeah, and i've got this one... that's in the wardrobe case... I've used these chains. Nardwuar: This was all your fans'. All the stuff that was taken away from your fans. That's pretty heavy. And then also this (showing Rob another Priest picture by Bev Davies) was from the same gig as well that night. Do you remember that night , Rob? Y'know 1984, Vancouver. Halford: Nothing more that the night. (Rob then eyes at a huge spiked wristband he was wearing in the photo) Look at that. Nardwuar: Did you ever get into trouble with having spikes sticking out like that... Halford: Yeah, I'd try to get on airplanes, commercial flights with stuff like this in my bag. I remember on more than one occasion when I'd get to the security and they'd go through my bag and find whips and chains and cuffs. And I would actually have to give them to the pilot. And they'd say "we'll give you this when you're getting off the plane". So I guess there was a pilot at thirty five thousand feet having fun in the cockpit while I was stuck in the back with my peanuts and warm coffee. (laughs) Nardwuar: Pansy Division. How did you meet Pansy Division? You sang "Breaking The Law" with them with changed lyrics up on stage. That was amazing. How did you meet them, Rob? Halford: I met them because I was at the San Diego Gay and Lesbian Pride event... no that's not true... rewind!... I was playing a show in San Francisco and I went to this club which was just like this cool kind of jazz blues rock club and Chris the bass player from Pansy Division came up and introduced himself. And that was years and years ago. And we became instant friends. When they came to play San Diego, I went on stage and joined "Breaking The Law". And they actually did a version on one of their records which is really cool 'cause it's like... Nardwuar: Metallica's was also on their record too! Kirk Hammett playing guitar. Halford: All that kinda stuff. I mean that's a validation for it. They're a wonderful band and they write incredibly good songs. And they're extremely underground, but if you want to check them out... I mean, they're by no stretch of the imagination a metal band. But for the musicianship, they've got this kinda edgy punky rock thing going for them. I think they're really cool guys. Nardwuar: Sebastian Bach ex of Skid Row, didn't he give the name 'Halford' to one of his kids as a middle name? Halford: Yeah, it's his kid called something like 'Ludwig Von Beethoven Halford Tchaikovsky Sibelius Van Boten.' Nardwuar: Also it's kinda sad that your connection to Canada is hitting the ground in Toronto. What can you explain to people about that? You were on your motorbike and there was a bit of a spill, Rob. It seemed horrible. Halford: It's ironic isn't it? Because I've had some of my high points and low points in Canada. And the low point was when I came off the bike at the last show with Priest in Toronto. And uh, somebody sent me a snippet of that actually just a few weeks ago on videotape. It was the first time I've seen it. But I came out under the drum riser and hit the bottom ring of the ladder. Knocked me backwards off the bike. Totally knocked me out for three minutes. And it was the first time "Hell Bent For Leather" was done as an instrumental. But that was kind of a low point. But my high point's that I've started this great tour with a new "Resurrection" cd with the Halford band. We began here in Canada. We've been all the way through. Nardwuar: Why do you think, Rob Halford, that the hard rock world is so homophobic and super macho? Halford: I don't think it is. I think that that's a misconception. I think that that's just the way that it's been presented year after year after year by the press. Nardwuar: But what about Sebastian Bach's t-shirt, remember, "Aids Kills Fags Dead"? Halford: I spoke to Sebastian about that and he admitted that he screwed up. And he was man enough to admit his mistake. I mean, everybody goes through learning process and Sebastian was one of the guys who was cool enough to see that. But I really feel that now more than ever, there's just more of an openmindedness, there's just more of an acceptance, there's more tolerance. And that things are way better than they used to be. I mean, I admit in the late '70s all through the '80s it was a different world altogether. But I think you know people today just have a way more intelligent way of perceiving things. And when it comes to what I do and what I am, it's all about my music. My music is all that matters. Nardwuar: The Judas Priest song, "Raw Deal". Is the song "Raw Deal" about cruising a gay bar? Halford: "Raw Deal" was a very open song for me. Yeah, that was like really a moment that I thought people might grasp onto, but it just went vvvrrrrrooomm right over the top of people's heads. But i mean I've never cheapened the music in so much as using it as a platform for my own personal gain. A lot of my lyrics are subjective. A lot of my lyrics don't have a gender placed on them. It's never 'he and she', because I've always felt that that way it just opens up the listener's possibility to accept it from whatever they want to take it from. But that's just a side issue of a lot of things of who I am and what I am as a person. Nardwuar: (Reading Rob's lyrics) "Temptation: don't lead me into temptation." Now were you lead into any temptation by Trent Reznor , Rob? The 'two' inch nails? Halford: Two inch?! No, I'm totally temptation-free. But I'm constantly being drawn onto that path, and I avoid it like the plague. It leads you down the straight and narrow which is exactly what I'm not. (laughs) Nardwuar:What about the e-mail that you've had on the back of your record? It actually says your actual email on the back of the record. It has your website but it also has your email, have you checked that? Can fans actually check out halfordrob@aol.com. Are you checking that? Halford: Yeah, I mean that's what it's there for. If you want to write me and say whatever's on your mind, just go ahead and send it in. We've got this great website called robhalford.com which is a combination of biographies, discographies, all the tour dates, you can buy tickets for the shows from there. You can find everything you want to find out about Halford. Where we're going to go next. What we're going to do next. And that where I would urge everybody to go first robhalford.com. If you want to get personal, send it to my own personal aol account. Nardwuar:Two quick questions here winding up here with Rob Halford. Thanks for the time, I appreciate it. Right now is an election year. George 'Dubya!' George 'Dubya' could get in! Halford: Daddy's boy! Daddy's boy! George 'Dubya' ! Nardwuar: And he's the one who authorised Operation Desert Storm. What do you think about that? 'Dublya' getting in? Halford: He won't. It'll be Gore. Gore baby. But I just hope Tipper keeps her mouth shut. Tipper you tried to crush us and you failed! Miserably. (Rob flashes the 'Satan' hand sign!) Nardwuar:And finally here, Rob Halford. We have Paul Stanley in the Phantom Of The... Halford: Opera. Nardwuar:We have Sebastian Bach in Jekyll and... Halford: Hyde. Nardwuar:And we have Rob Halford in Oli... Halford: The what?! Nardwuar: Oliver? Halford: Oliver!?! Nardwuar:Rob Halford in Oliver? Halford: I see myself in 'The Sound Of Music' actually. You know, doing that twirling bit at the start that Julie Andrews used to do with the helicopter shot. That's me. (laughs) The hills are alive with the sound of the metal god. Nardwuar: Thank you metal god! And doot doola doot doot...
