The long-awaited reunion of Judas Priest and Halford will thrill fans around the globe, and once again provide them with the opportunity to see and hear the band that defined Heavy Metal as we know it today.

Ummmmm. I guess. Or not.

I doubt Ripper Owens is particularly thrilled by this development.

I regularly listen to "Resurrection", Halford's album from a few years ago, and his voice sounds damn good on it. I am not foolish enough to try and care about this, though. Unless, of course, they play Summerstage, heh heh.

that list of album titles is fantastic.

When I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, Rob Halford was playing the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. I was well into going, but the wife wasn't. So, we didn't.

Rob won't be able to perform "Breakin' the Law" with quite the same gusto thanks to the Supreme Court.

Hahahaha

I wondered if something was up. VH1 Classic had been playing an inordinate amount of vintage Priest ("Hot Rockin'", "Don't Go", and the inevitable "You've Got Another Thing Comin'") pretty regularly recently. I'm sure that's no accident.

Is Rob Halford nude anywhere through this link? If so, I'm leaving this damn office and heading for the library to check him OUT.

I have. It's not as melodic or memorable as Broadway showtunes, but it will suffice.

sixteen years pass...

In an August 2019 interview with Metal Rules, Crane said that he was once offered to be the vocalist for Judas Priest while the band was in search for a new vocalist after Rob Halford's departure in 1992. He said that guitarist Glenn Tipton offered him and drummer Shannon Larkin the gig if they wanted it during the recording sessions of Tipton's solo album Baptizm of Fire. Crane explained that he couldn't accept the offer, "because you can't be Rob Halford. You can't be David Lee Roth. It'd be cool, and considering my love for Priest, which is immense, that would have been cool to do it, but not really. It's not a good move. But to jam with Tipton and to know those guys — I mean, those are my fucking heroes. Judas Priest, I mean, fuck. But man, old-school Priest, Jesus, God. So, yeah, I got offered Priest, back in the day. I never said that to anyone."[6]

lol I wouldn't have paid a bucket of piss to see that. and I don't believe for one moment this is true.

like Whitfield wasn't a 'bad' singer but lol at him trying to hit any of those stratospheric shriekettos

I wonder if Crane talks about being Ozzy's backup singer in that Metal Rules interview? Years and years ago, I was told by someone in the business that Crane toured with Ozzy (and possibly Sabbath as well), singing the whole set from backstage, and whenever Ozzy's voice started to go, the front of house engineer would fade Ozzy down and fade Crane up until things stabilized.

ah interesting, that makes sense w/ozzy though

Lol i can totally see that. Ozzy was anywhere from "ok" to "dire" the last few times i saw him.

I saw Ozzy in 2010 (with Halford opening) and had a blast, but I couldn't say whether his vocals were all his own or not. Really good set list, though (it's at the bottom of the piece).
