JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford was interviewed on last night's (Monday, May 10) edition of the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn. The program is now available for streaming at RocklineRadio.com.

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of "British Steel", Grammy Award-winning British metal band JUDAS PRIEST toured North America and Japan in the summer and fall of 2009, each night playing the album in its entirety. Beginning this week, Rock Band fans can download the nine live tracks from the "British Steel" album from those performances for their Rock Band music library!

"British Steel" was originally released in April 1980 and was the band's first platinum Top 40 album in the United States and their first Top 10 studio album in the United Kingdom. Columbia/Legacy will re-release this seminal album May 11, day-and-date with the Rock Band tracks. There will be a "British Steel" 30th-anniversary standard edition available, as well as a "British Steel" 30th-anniversary deluxe edition box set, available only through JudasPriest.com. The standard edition features a CD of the original nine-song album, plus two bonus tracks, as well as a DVD featuring a "Making of British Steel" interview, as well as full concert footage of the 16-song set from the 2009 "British Steel" tour, filmed live at the Seminole Hard Rock Arena, Hollywood, Florida.
