JUDAS PRIEST: THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

They are the greatest band in the world. They look scary, even weird. They’re obnoxious and loud. They’ve been at it for over a decade. They are the embodiment of Metal. They are Judas Priest. “To me, heavy metal is the total entity of life,” Rob Halford said in 1980.

JUDAS PRIEST: THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

J. Kordosh

They are the greatest band in the world. They look scary, even weird. They’re obnoxious and loud. They’ve been at it for over a decade. They are the embodiment of Metal. They are Judas Priest.

“To me, heavy metal is the total entity of life,” Rob Halford said in 1980. Got that? The total entity. That eliminates kids, cars, metaphysics, happy marriages, politics, church, grad school, Mark Twain, military service and “Monkberry Moon Delight.” It leaves: heavy metal. Is it any wonder that people are actually afraid of this band?

I am 33 years old. mature, responsible and wear a tie to work. I therefore find it quite embarrassing to have to buy your magazine when you feature worms like Rob Halford on the cover. Please, just for once, design a cover with an adult on it so l can look the salesclerk in the eye.
