Mashup master Bill McClintock has returned with a new mashup, featuring Juda Priest's "Electric Eye" and James Brown "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" and snippets of Metallica's "Creeping Death" and Megadeth's "Tornado Of Souls".
Next month, Judas Priest will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the "Musical Excellence" category. The 37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place on Saturday, November 5, at 8 PM, PST at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The Ceremony will air at a later date on HBO and stream on HBO Max alongside a radio simulcast on SiriusXM’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Radio channel 310 and Volume channel 106.
The Ceremony honors this year’s Inductees: Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon, along with Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for Musical Excellence, and Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotten for Early Influence, as well as Allen Grubman, Jimmy Iovine, and Sylvia Robinson for the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
Speaking with 107.7 RKR radio's Rocker Morning Show host Mark Frankhouse, Judas Priest drummer, Scott Travis, discusses the upcoming induction.
"Naturally, it's a super honor," says Travis. "I always felt that Priest would get in eventually, only because you can't have something called the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and not have Judas Priest in it. So there were a couple of events prior to this year where we were nominated, I think that's the right word, I'm not sure... but we were in the running. And we didn't quite get in, but I was always confident. Priest will get in eventually, and same thing with some of the bands that aren't in yet, they will get in. But yeah, it's a super honour. There's not much else you can say about it, really. It's pretty cool."
Asked if the band will be performing at the ceremony, Travis reveals: "Yeah, we are. They give you a limited amount of time 'cause there's obviously lots of artists that are gonna be performing. So they gave us a set amount of time to perform. And we decided we're gonna try and work in,l ike a medley and do some of the Priest classics and put 'em all into a medley, which we've never done before. So it should be interesting."
