Photos courtesy of White Boy & the Average Rat Band But for all the times it's been burned, blogged, and mp3'd, White Boy & the Average Rat Band's 1980 self-titled debut LP would be a late (and possibly the last) entry in the Greatest Post-Punk Albums Nobody's Ever Heard. Supposedly a) recorded by early 80s Baltimore punks nobody in Baltimore remembers, b) part of the pact of a late 70s Toledo death cult whose members obligingly killed each other off or c) left by sportive aliens at a roadside Piggly Wiggly near Bluefield, WV, [...]
Metallica Beyond Magnetic Vertigo Records 30 January 2012 by Tom Doyle If we follow the chronology of that famous T-shirt , we appear to currently be in the "death" phase of Metallica's career. I recently took to these very pages to explain why Lulu was not the worst album of 2011 but [...]
Judas Priest Title TBC Epic Records ETA Autumn 2012 What they're saying: 2011 was a turbulent year for Judas Priest - indeed, it was a year which could have very easily ended their decades-long career. When the Epitaph World Tour was announced back in December 2010 , everything sounded a bit final. We've left their use of [...]
This sounds like it could be fun. Ronnie James Dio's widow, Wendy Dio is compiling a tribute album for her late husband with some rock A-listers. Dave Grohl, Rob Halford, Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Sebastian Bach, Ian Gilligan and Glenn Hughes have comitted to be a part of the compilation which should see the light of ...
Metallica certainly saved the best for last. All last week, the band took over The Filmore in San Francisco for a series of intimate shows to celebrate their 30 years as a band. They really loaded the final two shows with the big guns. On Friday, they brought out Danzig, Halford and Jerry Cantrell. On ...
Alright people, it's time to talk about sex. Specifically, it's time to talk about Mr. Halford's sexual orientation. Kids and homophobes, please leave the room. Rob Halford apparently came out in an MTV interview in 1998. In VH1's Behind The Music on Judas Priest, he stated that he wasn't comfortable coming out until that point, and that hiding his homosexuality caused him to suffer from depression that he medicated with alcohol and drugs. Between modern society's general prejudice toward homosexuality, the metal scene's attitudes about gender and sexuality, and the unjustified 'gay-plague/GRID' scares in the '80s, [...]
In my first list, I discuss my favorite clean and harsh metal vocalists.
For over four decades, England's Judas Priest has been making one hell of a heavy metal racket. Formed in 1969, the band didn't find widespread success until the late '70s and early '80s. But c... Continue reading "Q & A: Rob Halford of Judas Priest Talks Coming Out and His Band Continuing On." >
Metal Insider tells me that both Rob Halford and חיים ויץ turned sixty yesterday, which isn't really that old in the scheme of things, but is still most certainly a reminder that Metal's Founding Generation is getting closer and closer to death. Then again, you know who isn't getting closer and closer to death? Dead people. [...]
Queridos visitantes de RobHalford.com Metal God Entertainment, Metal God Records y todas las compañías y webs afiliadas comenzarán a eliminar los temas relacionados con Judas Priest en protesta por la falta de profesionalidad y ética de Glenn Tipton, Jayne Andrews (matona personal de Glenn y sabandija), Bill Curbishley (sabandija apático) y John McBride (contable sin licencia y sin registrar, sabandija) en los asuntos de negocio de Rob Halford de los últimos seis años. Rob negará esto en público, así que tomaremos un asiento junto a K.K. Downing y veremos cómo Glenn y Jayne sacan adelante [...]
News WalesOnline's Nathan Bevan recently spoke to JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford about heavy metal's working class roots, the band's farewell tour and his admiration for Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas.
Probablemente más de uno habría incluido sin pensárselo a Rob Halford en nuestra lista de los cinco mejores cantantes de la actualidad. Tras más de treinta años cantando un punzante heavy metal junto a Judas Priest, el vocalista siempre se ha mostrado muy activo y con muchas ganas de crear música nueva. Tanto es así que ha tenido hasta tres proyecto alternos a la banda que le dio la fama: Fight, 2wo y Halford. Ahora, en lo que pretende ser un homenaje a su dilatada carrera musical, Halford publicará un DVD grabado en directo . [...]
We examine Judas Priest's small but important run of covers throughout their career, including one that ended up defining the band's public image.
Devin Townsend has so much explaining to do. As a tireless songwriter and producer, he's set to release two albums on June 21, Ghost and Deconstruction, to complete the Devin Townsend Project cycle that he started with 20092s Ki and Addicted. That's four full-length records, 43 songs, and 260 minutes of music unleashed over about two [...]
Judas Priest are probably one of the best metal bands in the history of the genre, and certainly one of the most important. And, sure, their post-reunion-with-Halford studio albums haven't been so great, but they haven't been unbearably terrible, either, and the band still puts on a really, really fun show live. So why am [...]
News On May 9, longtime Spanish heavy metal journalist Rafa Basa of RafaBasa.com conducted an interview with JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford about the departure of the band's founding member, Kenneth "K.K." Downing; the addition of 31-year-old guitarist Richie Faulkner (LAUREN HARRIS, DIRTY DEEDS); and the group's upcoming "Epitaph" farewell tour.

And Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler's appointment to the panel of judges provided one. Hey, I want music programming on primetime TV. I want to [...]
This May will mark a year since the world lost the great Ronnie James Dio, but tributes for the metal icon remain in full force. The latest and greatest to be announced comes in the form of a star-studded tribute album being put together by Dio's late wife, Wendy. While the project isn't expected to see light until at least next year, the likes of the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, Judas Priest's Rob Halford, Motörhead's Lemmy, and Deep Purple's Glenn Hughes have already been confirmed as contributors, reports NoiseCreep.com . "Grohl will do [...]
Admit it: this picture makes you SO FUCKING HAPPY. Recently, my friend sent me a YouTube link to a Bee Gees cover group. Excuse me, tribute band. That is the proper way of addressing them, as Mark Wahlberg taught us in Rock Star. I don't like the Bee Gees. I don't like disco. Disco is [...]
