Transcript

00:00Headbangers ball in a nice restaurant, which is kind of strange to see all of us here

00:06I'm obviously with the guys in Judas Priest on location in Rio. So what are you guys thinking of Rio so far?

00:11Rio, it's great

00:13Great

00:15Can you elaborate on that Rob?

00:17Bleeding hot here

00:19I'm melting

00:21I'm gonna go on stage tomorrow in 150 degrees and wear 58 pounds of leather, chains, studs

00:28It's a good workout

00:30It's a special, you haven't done the like though

00:32I've lost 15 pounds just sitting at this table

00:34The Judas Priest workout video

00:36Rob goes jogging a lot

00:38We've started the diet already

00:40I'm gonna do aerobics next year, it's gonna be Rob in Rio

00:42Rob in Rio

00:44Rob in Rio workout

00:46Also, going into the hotels

00:48I mean, do you guys mop by screaming fans?

00:50No, that's somebody else

00:52No?

00:54They don't know we're here

00:56They're the only band that doesn't get mopped

00:58Oh, because there's like thousands of new kids fans screaming in our hotel

01:03Tomorrow's gonna be, or the next show's gonna be pretty exciting

01:06And we're gonna be back with the guys from Judas Priest on location in Rio on Headbangers Ball

01:10So stick around

01:14Ricky Raglin here on the Headbangers Ball in a very lovely restaurant

01:17There's no food on the table by the way

01:19They don't feed us here on the Headbangers Ball

01:23We get lots to drink though

01:26Tomorrow is the Big Rock in Rio festival

01:28Actually we're gonna see it next Saturday on Headbangers Ball

01:30So obviously you're gonna be here with us

01:32Now, the show's coming up

01:34How did you get involved in this Big Rock in Rio thing?

01:36We heard about it while we were on the North American tour

01:40Doing the Painkiller tour

01:42Of course we knew it was gonna happen

01:44But it came out of the blue really

01:46That we were gonna be invited down here

01:48So we were just thrilled to take the opportunity

01:50To come to South America for the first time

01:52Because Priest has never ever been to this part of the world

01:55So it's a great way to bring Priest

01:57And bring metal and everything down

01:59Into a country on the first trip

02:01And we're really pumped for it

02:03It's a choice between us and Madonna

02:05Judas Priest, Madonna

02:07There's no way for us here

02:09Now, you're playing in front of something like

02:11180,000 people or something?

02:13Some ridiculous amount

02:15Cento...

02:17I'm trying to learn Portuguese

02:19Right before you came here you knew what 180,000 was in Portuguese

02:21I'm just gonna wear it out

02:24Cento, setento, metaleros

02:26Lucasados

02:28He said in the lift

02:30Hello

02:32How are you?

02:34Somebody hit me

02:38I think I insulted somebody in Portuguese

02:40It's a really difficult language

02:42We're gonna learn more Portuguese

02:44And more about the show that's coming up

02:46With Judas Priest

02:48As Headbangers Ball is here in Rio

02:50Headbangers Ball is on location

02:52In Rio, Brazil

02:54On Mio Mio

02:56With Judas Priest

02:58Now the show you guys are gonna be playing in front of

03:00180,000 people

03:02Has anybody ever played in front of...

03:04We did the Oz Festival, remember the Oz Festival

03:06Wasn't that like 300,000?

03:08And that was according to the promoter

03:10I lost count

03:12Now, I mean, Scott there

03:14Your new drummer is in here right now

03:16He's eating

03:18I hope he will be at the show

03:21He's gotta be nervous

03:23Because now you guys basically went

03:25From the tour right here, right?

03:27Yeah, absolutely

03:29We did the last show up in Pittsburgh

03:31Just a few days ago

03:33And then we just jumped in a plane and flew down here

03:35Now Scott has never played in front of a crowd

03:37No he hasn't, this will be the first time for him

03:39We never thought about that

03:41Maybe the reason he's not here having dinner with us right now

03:43Is he's sitting at home

03:45He's hyperventilating in his room

03:47He's doing oxygen

03:50We borrowed equipment

03:52It went out live

03:54We've never played together before

03:56Old tracks

03:58Pressure

04:00We love pressure

04:02If you can deal with that

04:04We're gonna call our next album Pressure Priest

04:06But he's

04:08Pumped for it as we are

04:10We're ready to go

04:12We've got more pyro than hell

04:14More lasers than

04:16Whatever, it's just gonna be outrageous

04:18We're gonna talk a little bit about the show

04:20When we come back on location in Rio

04:22With Judas Priest

04:24The Headbangers Ball

04:26In Rio de Janeiro

04:28What does that mean by the way?

04:30River of something

04:32It's January isn't it?

04:34River of January

04:36River of January

04:38The Portuguese found it in January

04:40This is a history lesson

04:42They found the Brazil nuts on the second day

04:44Education is vital

04:47Speaking of the world of heavy metal

04:49This year has been kind of strange

04:51From things that in my opinion

04:53Borderline on being completely ridiculous

04:55Like the court case that everybody knows about

04:57And then also being nominated for a Grammy

04:59I mean those are definitely

05:01Two sides of the coin

05:03Grammy Priest, it's unbelievable

05:05Somebody needs to make up their mind about Priest

05:07Well we shouldn't play him

05:09Okay we'll play him, now let's nominate him for a Grammy

05:11I thought he was half a Grammy

05:13We're absolutely thrilled

05:16And delighted by being nominated

05:18Just itself

05:20It's a big honour

05:22We understand the value of having that nomination

05:24It's a great form of recognition

05:26And we've worked hard for it

05:28We won't be upset at all if we don't get it

05:30But it's great

05:32It's like the equivalent of the Oscars

05:34For the movie industry

05:36What the Grammys do for music is sensational

05:38And we're just really thrilled

05:40To be representing metal

05:42My mum thinks it's an Oscar

05:44Oh that golden guy

05:46I'd just like to thank everybody

05:48She says I can keep the job now

05:50Do you think that

05:52So now she's telling people what her son does

05:54Yeah before she always said

05:56Like every mother does

05:58Son why don't you come home and get a proper job

06:00She says now you can keep your job

06:02I'm happy

06:04Now do you think that rock and roll

06:06I mean when you look at the bands that are nominated for this Grammy

06:08They are definitely good heavy metal and hard rock bands

06:10It's not like

06:12You know some bands that they think are hard rock

06:14They're hard rock heavy metal bands

06:16Exactly

06:18We're not going to say any names

06:20About who won the first one

06:22I'm sure you guys all heard about that

06:24Do you think that rock and roll is getting respectability now

06:26It is yeah

06:28And I'm pleased that the Grammy people have suddenly realised

06:30That heavy metal is just as much right

06:32To be included with all the other people

06:34As everybody else you know

06:36And metal as you know

06:38Is a very big form of powerful entertainment

06:40Not just in the USA worldwide now of course

06:42But it's great for a band like Priest

06:44To see this kind of recognition

06:46Because when we first began in the 70's

06:48And first brought our music over to America in the 70's

06:50We were one of the first people to

06:52You know spread the gospel of metal

06:54And so now to see it gaining this recognition

06:56In 91 with the Grammy Awards

06:58Is a fabulous step up

07:00And it's the way in the right direction

07:02Definitely

07:04We'll be back talking to the guys from Judas Priest

07:06On location with Headbangers Ball in Rio

07:08We're here with Judas Priest

07:10On location in Rio

07:12And we've got that show coming up

07:14Which is going to be on

07:16You're going to be hanging with us next week

07:18Headbangers Ball

07:20Not only is Judas Priest on the show

07:22I mean we're talking some talent

07:24Queensryche, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses

07:26This Brazilian band called Sepultura

07:28Great band

07:30There's another Brazilian band

07:32I'm sorry I don't remember the name

07:34But Sepultura I've heard and they're good

07:36As I said earlier on this is the first trip

07:38That Priest has had the opportunity to make

07:40To this part of the country

07:42But we've been thrilled to see the amount of fans

07:44At the hotel

07:46And people with albums

07:48Albums from the whole Priest catalogue

07:50Of 14 albums

07:52And the other portions of the South American media

07:54I did an ID for an Amazon Jungle radio station

07:56So I mean

07:58This is how far we're reaching down here

08:00So you know it's fantastic

08:02And it's not just for Priest of course

08:04They're very strong and very powerful in South America

08:06So that's what's going to be so pumped up about this day

08:08Actually it's very interesting really

08:10Because you get a lot of bands here

08:12And you never get to hear them because they sing in Spanish

08:14We live in Spain

08:16Aggressive person

08:18You hold the knife to prove the point

08:20There are

08:22There are a lot of bands here that you just never get to hear

08:24Because they sing in a different language

08:26But they're very good bands

08:28And it's a shame really because it's a lot of talent

08:30They've got a slightly different angle to metal

08:32It's a shame

08:34They never get across

08:36A little bit like us really

08:38Yes we don't seem to stretch do we

08:40I want to ask real quick a question about the show

08:42I don't know what the rules are in Brazil

08:44But the Judas Priest show is definitely a show

08:46With a lot of pyrotechnics

08:48And a lot of excitement

08:50Certain countries you're not allowed to use pyrotechnics are you?

08:52Well I think it depends on the

08:54On the circumstances

08:56You know some people are paranoid about

08:58Even the word heavy metal

09:00And pyrotechnic together

09:02I think this is it you know

09:04Atom bomb revisited

09:06But I mean

09:08Fortunately the South Americans do like things to go off with a bang

09:10A big bang

09:12As you know from their annual carnival in Rio

09:14It's very uninhibited

09:16They're very risqué

09:18And they just like to go for a big time

09:20It's wild here

09:22So you know

09:24We're set to let off about

09:26150 pounds of gel ignite

09:28Explosive and bottle rockets

09:30And you name it we've got it

09:32We've just brought out the local firework department

09:34In Rio there's a big warehouse

09:36And we just spent a few thousand dollars

09:38On things that are going to blow up

09:40So we can hang with you guys at the show

09:42And take everybody else with us

09:44Sure we insist

09:46Oh ok well there you go

09:48So for those of you don't forget next week

09:50The Headbangers Ball is going to be

09:52At the I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right

09:54Is it called the Maracana?

09:56Maracana

09:58The Maracana

10:00The Maracana

10:02The Maracana

10:04The Maracana stadium

10:06About 180,000 crazy people

10:08These guys play

10:10Judas Priest and Queensryche

10:12And Megadeth

10:14Guns N' Roses and Sepultura

10:16And a bunch of everybody else

10:18It's the best night

10:20Well that was it and I want to thank you guys

10:22For pointing me down here

10:24It's a very serious establishment

10:26They're probably going to throw us out

10:28So they can let the real customers in

10:30This is really Philadelphia folks

10:32Just a backdrop

10:34We'll see you guys later
