La actuación tuvo lugar en la gala de los Alternative Press Music Awards
Rob Halford, vocalista de Judas Priest, actuó ayer junto a Babymetal en la gala de los Alternative Press Music Awards celebrada en Columbus (Ohio). Nuestras queridas niponas, junto a su banda de directo y el veterano vocalista interpretaron dos clásicos de Judas Priest: Painkiller y Breaking The Law. Halford no es el primer metalero de la vieja guardia en reconocer el trabajo de Babymetal, pues anteriormente otros artistas como Rob Zombie, Slash o Carcass han mostrado su apoyo.
En cuanto a los propios premios, y por si si estáis interesados, aquí os dejamos la lista de los ganadores y los nominados. Spoiler: vaya decepción de lista.
