lol! Yeah "trendy". A lot of those heavy metal "fans" dropped bands like Judas Priest,Iron Maiden,Saxon,Dio for glam hair bands like Motley Crue,Poison,Ratt and Bon jovi....

And then when that trend was over those same fans went to bands like Nirvana,Sound Garden,Peral Jam,Alice In Chains....then to Metllica Load,ect....what ever is "in" at the time ....they flock to like sheep. I've never been a part of a trend like this. It cracks me up haha.

Rob Halford - Judas Priest

There is nobody that is better than that guy.

Hey, I was trendy...and it only took me 25 yrs to figure it out!

Gravdigr · 11-22-2010, 01:06 AM

lol! Its my opinion of course,but he is the Metal God in the realm of heavy metal music,this guy is responsible for the NWOBHM scene because of his aesthetics alone,and along with Priest's british heavy metal sound especially by 1978's Hell Bent For Leather album,and although Black Sabbath started heavy metal's sound structure with doomsday laden lyrics,nobody came before Judas Priest that supported these aesthetics that played heavy metal music,only punk and rock bands like Alice Cooper and Gene Simmons of Kiss,ect...

And most of all Halford's vocals,this guy is utterly amazing.Halford's image sparked influence in bands like Venom,Slayer,Mercyful Fate and Celtic Frost as well as bands like Saxon and Iron Maiden.Judas Priest are the Godfathers of heavy metal.

I'm just glad that I didn't know what he was gay when he screamed "get down on your knees and repent if you please"

I took it as a pretty metal statement at the time, but now, I don't know!

LOL! This is what cracks me up about fans of Rob Halford: How could you not know he was gay?? lol!

Come on dude,back in the 80's he wore the gay biker hat,hand cuffs and a whip lol! And to set the record straight,no the lyrics are not about homosexuality(lmao! haha!)

I've been a Judas Priest fan and have studied this band since 1980,say and think what you want,but no,they are not about that,K.K.Downing and Glenn Tipton write the lyrics with Rob and they have gone over this subject till they were blue in the face,so no they lyrics do not translate into anything "gay". lol!

Absolutely.To me Rob Halford is the best vocalist in heavy metal hands down,but its still an opinion but Priest has been my favorite band since 1981 so of course I'm going to say he is #1,but he really is! lol! I've never cared if he was gay either.

I've been a member of the Judas Priest forum for 6 years now,the people over there are very cool and discuss anything and everything.

I wasn't thrilled about thier last album "Nostradamus"(2008) as I don't like it at all,but the album before it "Angel Of Retribution"(2005) is very good,10 songs and only one really sucks,and its the last track on the album(Loch Ness).

But if you haven't heard the album,its very traditional Judas Priest in the vien of 1982's Screaming For Vengeance album and 1984's Defenders Of The Faith album,thats the best way to discribe it. Tracks like Judas Rising,Deal With The Devil,Wheels Of Fire,Demonizer,Hellrider,Elegy...its very good if you like Judas Priest.

Hell we didn't know Freddy Mercury was gay, what with the gaystache and the wife-beaters and all. We didn't even know Elton John was gay, what with the pink feather boas and 10,000 different glasses. It just wasn't a thing, back in the day.

No your right it wasn't back in the day,but when I was 10 years old in 1980 getting into Judas Priest I thought Halford was gay,and all of us thought Freddy was obviously gay back in the early 80's,especially Freddy and Elton john....it was pretty obvious to me and others,but since they didn't say anything about it we could only guess,it doesn't matter to me if they are gay or straight,I could care less but just thought it was clearly obvious but at the same time as you said it wasn't an issue so I see your point.
