We've mentioned them 3x before on this forum. With this video, they have officially moved to my 'must see' list for music. Stay tuned. More to come...
RM don't work the Regency. I gotta buy tix? srsly?!?
Suddenly, with this new vid, BabyMetal makes sense. The gals are kitsune - fox spirits - and they're coming over to America to take over. If you know your Japanese mythology, you know what I mean.
RM has picked up working the Regency again...
It's tonight but I'm not going. I thought long and hard about it. I even texted my ol' Warfield supe, somewhat to get her blessings, somewhat to allay my concerns. But the deciding factor was that I just don't have the bandwidth. I'm launching into a super busy three weeks of CA summer, and this must just fall to the wayside.
I'll catch them next time perhaps.
I could be seeing this in a few hours. But I am too weak.
Quote:Watch Rob Halford Cover Judas Priest Classics With Babymetal
Iconic frontman, pop-metal trio perform "Painkiller," "Breaking the Law" at Alternative Press Music Awards

The seemingly unlikely pairing of Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford and teenage pop-metal crew Babymetal united Monday night for performances of a couple of Priest's fan favorites. The duet was one of the spectacles at an awards show with a mouthful of a name – the Journeys Alternative Press Music Awards, Fueled by Monster Energy Drink – that took place at Columbus, Ohio's Schottenstein Center.
Babymetal's band kicks off the performance with the thunderous drum intro to Priest's thrashy "Painkiller," and Halford struts on stage in a red leather jacket and biker gloves to trade verses with the Japanese group's frontwoman, Su-metal, and harmonize on the chorus. As the song ends, Su-metal introduces her fellow singers – Yuimetal and Moametal – who come out with guitars to play the razor-sharp intro to the anthemic "Breaking the Law."
"That was really intense: Babymetal give a thousand percent just like Priest," Halford said in a statement after the performance. "They're leading the charge into the new frontier of heavy metal."
"It was really amazing and fantastic," Su-metal said. "A collaboration with Rob Halford, the 'Metal God,' has always been my dream. I never imagined that dream would come true!"
The awards show also featured a performance by Creed singer Scott Stapp joining A Day to Remember, Black Veil Brides singer Andy Biersack fronting an all-star band containing members of My Chemical Romance, Goldfinger and others and members of Underoath with Beartooth. Marilyn Manson also received the Icon Award. Video of other performances and recaps of the evening are on the awards show's website.

Some friends of mine went to the show. They said it was good and they were glad to have seen it but they aren't ready to jump on tour or anything and doubt they'd go out of their way to see them again. They are picky deadheads. Very picky.
