The first thing you hear is the clattering of boots—clomps which break the relative silence of their manager's New York office. Then, an overpowering presence of leather fills the room as Judas Priest guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, and lead singer Rob Halford bustle in. In their arms are boxes of boots for the imminent Priest U.S. tour—but the leathery smells are mixing with something else, some indefinable scent not immediately associated with heavy metal rock 'n' roll bands. OMIGOD, it's salad dressing and quiche, fergodsakes, as the lads haul out their brown bag lunches. Rob Halford generously offers up some of his feta cheese and vegetable concoction. "I'm going Greek today," he announces, brightly, a warm smile cropping up, incongruous against his fierce getup.
