- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As soon as I got my driver's license, I went crazy, and I got the Ford Cosworth, which was this limited edition street racing turbo. It was like this 200-miles-an-hour monster.
- Drive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Dissect
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Easy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some songs are dead easy, and others can be quite challenging. Other times, you just have to put it in the bin.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Making a record is an intimate experience. A good producer can get things out of you that you can't get out of yourself.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Equality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The battle goes on for me; as a gay man, I shall not be happy until I see equality across the board.
- Looking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'Defenders,' we had some very barebones ideas, but the bulk of it came together very quickly over in Ibiza. The main thing I like about that record, looking back on it now, is the change in the texture of the production from 'Screaming For Vengeance.'
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Defenders' seems to have a really gritty, hard, uncomplicated vibe about it. Somehow, we made everything sound stronger and more precise than on 'Screaming Vengeance' through Tom Allom's amazing mixing skills.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As far as putting a rating on music like you do movies, I can see the common sense in that.
- Lost
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
I think that essentially, since music was invented, it's basically reached out and touched every single kind of conceivable generation.
- Heavy Metal
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a very empowering kind of music, heavy metal is.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was in several bands before I joined Judas Priest. Being in those early unknown bands were the stepping stones, really, so I learned a lot in those short few years jumping from one band to another.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We've always tried to convey these strong messages of strength and power and doing good in the world and, at the same time, to not be afraid to look at the difficulties that we experience.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you look at the history of the LGBTQ community, from my perspective growing up as I did in the U.K. in the '50s, there was just terrible, terrible discrimination, you know? It was extremely difficult to live your life as you should have been allowed to do.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Oh God, don't let me go on Amazon Prime at one in the morning 'cause I always buy something I don't need.
- Black
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing about rock & roll, and the black leather biker jacket - it automatically creates an idea about what that person might be about, about their musical taste or their attitude.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I write lyrics for Priest, I'm writing them for Priest. I'm not writing them for me.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You've got to be able to compromise in a band; otherwise, somebody's more important than the next guy, and that's never been the case in Priest.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We're all people. We all need to just try and find a way to love each other and accept each other and try and make the world a better place.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you make that choice of stepping out and facing the issue of disclosure, you do create this kind of self-imposed negative fear. It's unfortunate it still happens today. 'Do I step out and say I'm a gay guy?' But you have got to do it and live your life on your terms and no one else's terms.
- Connection
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Heavy metal is always going to be there. At its core, it's all about a primitive connection we all need to keep in our lives.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are gay and lesbian people in all walks of life, in all different types of professions. I just happen to be a gay man who sings in a heavy metal band.
- Heart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just the basic principles of what makes America work for me are very strong in my heart. It's like no other nation in the world.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
They talk about the American Dream. I still believe in that. I still believe that this is a great country, where great things can happen, where anybody can become president of the United States. Just that simple statement there defines so much about the whole business of liberty and freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I discovered that I was gay when I was about nine or ten. I did go out with girls for a while, but it didn't last.
- Decision
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a myth that I received any flak from the metal community over my decision to come out. I have, in fact, received numerous positive responses from fans, as well as e-mails from people who were going through much the same thing. It's horrible to keep something like that secret, and I felt I had to make it public.
- Handle
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to remain somewhat anonymous. I could never handle the whole Britney Spears syndrome of being noticed everywhere.
- Doors
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I kind of blew the doors off the myth that all heavy metalheads are Neanderthal and very limited in their ability to take on subject matter of any human depth.
- Beautiful Thing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We can either rip your face up with 'Painkiller,' or we can play this beautiful thing called 'Last Rose of Summer' from 'Sin After Sin.' And people love us for that because they don't really know what to expect.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's very tempting for certain generations to say, 'Well, I just want to be in a band, and I want to be a rock star,' or whatever. That's not what it's about. Firstly, you've got to be in it for the love and the passion that you have for the music, and then you take it from there.
- Process
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Firepower' is the eighteenth full-length studio album for Judas Priest. That's a lot of metal songs over the decades, and the writing process is always the same, really.
- Journey
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you start in any band, I don't think you have any idea as to how long your particular journey is going to last. You really don't have a clue. I think that when you come together as musicians, that's the furthest thing from your mind.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always felt that where Priest has been able to get to, it's been down to discipline, our real love and commitment to making the best music that we can make, and never forgetting our fan base.
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes when I'm writing lyrics, it's a very loose train of thought, and wherever that takes me, I let it flow.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This band isn't mostly about being a political protest band. We want to entertain; we want to give you a good time. At the same time, if you look through the history of Priest, there's always been an intelligent factor.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not an American citizen, but I live in this country and eventually want to become an American citizen because I love this country so much.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're a musician, one of the things that comes to you in the beginning that is quite unexpected is the reaction from your fans, and to the way your music plays an important part in their life in figuring things out.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The moment I came out as a gay man, I never really thought of the consequences. Of course, the proverbial happened: it hits the newswires, and it's this big, big thing.
- Think
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think it's right that there's one set of rules for one individual and another set of rules and laws for another individual. That's not the way the world should work.
- Criticism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Criticism, maybe cynicism, is just rampant in music, in creativity. Everybody has a perception and a set of opinions based on what that piece of music is doing to them internally.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk,' that's my big Emperor album.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I've improved in a lot of ways because of being able to stay clean and sober.
