We are living in trying times, and Judas Priest
frontman Rob Halford knows that. The Metal God has posted a new address
on Judas Priest's socials and it feels like exactly the message we need
to hear right now. It's almost like a heavy metal Mr. Rogers address to
the world.
In his nearly two minute address, Halford talks
about the need to wash your hands and keep your belongings clean, as he
sanitizes some of his trademark accessories. He asks that metal heads
avoid hoarding and keep in touch with loved ones, remain sane and that
we're all going to get through this.
I've transcribed it, but you really should watch the video to get the cadence of the Metal God correct.
Thank you for this, Mr. Halford. I know it's something I personally needed to see today.
"Hello metal maniacs." Rob Halford begins. "At times
like this, this is when the metal community comes together./ We know
what we got to do as far as keeping things clean. And that includes
washing your hands, as many times a day as is needed. Try to be
isolated.
"If you go out, don't buy everything." Halford
continues. "Don't be a toilet paper hoarder. Don't be a kitchen roll
hoarder. Don't be a hoarder of any sort.
"We have to keep each other safe, we have to do the
isolating, we have to do the quarantining, whatever we need to do. This
is serious, okay? But we're going to get through it, because we've been
through these problems, these situations, before, in history, and
humanity has this great tenacity to pull together, to be strong and to
overcome things that come before us.
"So, look after each other. Look after yourselves,
your family, your friends, your loved ones. Keep it touch. That's an
important thing. Text each other, and Facebook and FaceTime, Instagram.
All of it is incredibly important.
"You know there's a lot of fear floating around.
This is when we have to look after each other and do what's necessary
and the right thing to do.
"Those are my words of advice. I love you. Keep strong. Keep safe. Keep metal!"
