WHEN ROB HALFORD MET RICH HALLFORD

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 at 4:00pm by

Well, this is certainly a historic moment in metal history. MetalSucks’ own guru of love, Rich Hallford – who is heavily rumored to be 1000 Knives‘ Rich Hall – is on this week’s Noisecreep “Creep Show” podcast, where the special guest of honor was none other than Judas Priest’s Rob Halford. “Nights with Alice Cooper”‘ syndicated radio show producer Katherine Turman and Noisecreep scribes Jon Wiederhorn and Amy Sciarretto round out the panel.

But who cares about them?!?! You wanna hear Rob talk, and you wanna look at Rich’s pretty face. He’s so handsome, I just wanna pinch his cheeks. Face or buns, I don’t care.

Check out the episode below.

IF YOU WANNA MAKE IT IN THE METAL BIZ, YOU’LL HAFTA DO THE DEVIL’S WORK FOR HIM

If you don’t know who Amy Sciarretto is, well, ya should. She’s Roadrunner Records in-house PR goddess (and often writes the very funny “Ask Amy” column for the Roadrunner website) and also writes for NoiseCreep. She’s also written for Revolver, Kerrang!, Guitar World, and a butt load of other publications and websites. In other words, she knows her shit.

Now Amy has teamed up with Rick Florino – founder or Ruined magazine and a contributor to Inked, Revolver, Hit Parader, etc. – to write Do the Devil’s Work for Him: How to Make it in the Music Industry (and Stay in It!). Featuring interviews and music biz advice from members of System of a Down, DevilDriver, Dragonforce, Matt Sorum (current Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer) and Roadrunner A&R guru/blade runner Mike Gitter, this promises to be much, much cooler than your average “how to” guide.

The book hits shelves on June 26. In the meantime, you can get more info here.
