It's no secret that Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford is a huge Babymetal fan. Halford even got on stage with the band during the 2016 AltPress Music Awards and performed the Judas Priest classics "Painkiller," and "Breaking The Law". Beyond that, Halford said in an interview with Metal Hammer that he'd love to team up with the band for an original new song sometime. He's even got a title planned!
"It would be great to jump in on a 'Gimme Chocolate!!' or a 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!'. But even more than that, I would love to sing in Japanese, because I've never done anything like that," said Halford.
"It would be a thrill to sing a Babymetal song, but rather than one of their existing songs, I'd like to do something unique. We could make a one-off special; that would be a dream. Maybe when PRIEST goes to Japan next, we can stop in a studio and do an original song. Call it 'Fox God Metal God'."
Judas Priest is working on a new album that they've compared to their 1990 classic Painkiller, and which Halford has dubbed "potent".
