JUDAS PRIEST Bassist Ian Hill - "It’s Not So Much What’s Great About Being In The Band; More So Of Being Terrified Of It Stopping"

Judas Priest bassist Ian Hill is featured in a new interview with My Global Mind discussing the band's new album, Redeemer Of Souls, and their long term career. An excerpt is available below:

MGM: In all the years of playing with the mighty Priest, what sticks out to you most about being in this band?

Ian: "The thing is, it’s been so long it’s a part of me now; I think it’s part of all of us. It’s not so much what’s great about being in the band more so of being terrified of it stopping. It’s like a drug. We’re all fans of the band at the end of the day. And we were talking about slowing down, which is what Epitaph was all about, not touring as often, and when we do it’ll only be two or three shows a week. Next thing you know we’re back on a regular Priest tour and nobody batted an eyelid or said, 'Wait a minute. Aren’t we supposed to be slowing down?' Everybody is just as excited as we were 30 years ago. I look back on my career with a great sense of gratitude, really. It’s a privilege to be able to do something you love for all these years and make a living at it. I’m a very lucky person."
