Alice Cooper and Judas Priest’s Rob Halford have released a Christmas song for children – listen to the track and watch the video here.‘My Christmas List’ is a collaboration with the charity Rock For Children, and is set to benefit Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers organisation, a non-profit that provides teenagers with after-school training in sound engineering, staging, lighting and video production.Singer-songwriter Brandon Jenner, son of Caitlyn and half-brother of Kendall and Kylie, is also featured on the track.‘My Christmas List’ involves the singers telling Santa Claus of the things on their Christmas list, including a “rock balloon that can fly to the moon” and a “12-string can I can play in a band,” while they also let Santa know to enjoy his trademark milk and cookies.In a spoken word section, Cooper suggests other things a child could ask for, telling them: “Seriously kid, always remember to never stop dreaming of the impossible, and believe in the magic of your imagination.”A boy replies: “Thanks, Mr. Cooper! If I don’t end up with those things from my list, then what I want for Christmas is this,” as he holds up a scroll with the words “kindness and love” written on it.The track first appeared on the Rock For Children compilation ‘Solid Rock Revival’, released on August 30.Cooper appears on seven of the album’s tracks, with Halford on two.

Judas Priest’s Ian Hill: “People have been trying to kill heavy metal now for about 40 years”
Judas Priest bassist Ian Hill has claimed that people have been “trying to kill heavy metal” for about 40 years.The metal musician made the comments in a recent interview with music YouTube channel Metal Oda ahead of their concert in Istanbul, Turkey this July.Asked what advice he would give himself if he could go back to the beginning of the band’s career more than 50 years ago, the bassist spoke about the importance of “patience and persistence” (per Blabbermouth).Elaborating on the title of the new album ‘Invincible Shield’, Hill continued: “We’ve had a lot of stuff thrown at us over the years. I mean, people have been trying to kill heavy metal now for about 35, 40 years, so it’s always been a bit of a struggle against the establishment, if you know what I mean.”The artist concluded that the band had “managed to survive and come through it”.Hill’s comments come after Judas Priest’s own Rob Halford reflected on being labelled ‘Metal God’ by fans.Speaking to NME as part of a recent In Conversation video interview, he shared that the nickname “kind of got a life of its own and then I started to take it too seriously”, adding: “So much so that I’ve actually got a trademark on ‘Metal God’ because I cherish it so much – not just not for me, but for the band and the fans as well”.The vocalist said he always has “fun” with it, sharing: “I always say: ‘There was only one Elvis, and there’s only one Metal God.’ And I mean that, you know, with my tongue in my cheek.”Halford also expressed his relief that the band were aligned in their outlooks on fame and music.
