I'll tell you why, it's because Rob Halford is gay, and everyone's minds are shit. People literally are cunts. Whenever I'd be listening to priest in my room at uni, someone would walk in and listen to any lyric and somehow turn it into a gay reference. Fair enough, Rob is a big bummer, and worked a lot of innuendo into their songs, but why the fuck does that take away from the band. He never sang about men or bums.

I think people are retarded for not being able to listen to or talk about the band without concentrating solely on the sexuality of the lead singer. Priest were and are one of the most important bands in metal history.

Up yours you cunts.

Like I care if Rob's gay. It's nothing to do with me. And yes I love the Priest.

Abso-bloody-exactly.

Good point. First sensible thing you've said all day.

Judas Priest are one of the most brilliant bands in the world. Sure, they can be hilarious from time to time, but heavy metal is hilarious. And Judas Priest are pure heavy metal.

For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDMtqED2JLc

I dig the Priest.

Seriously what is the problem if he did sing about being gay!!!! I have a very very good friend who is gay, and we have gone for nights out together often in the past few years, sometimes straight, sometimes to gay venues, and there is a lot better atmosphere in a place such as DV8 in birmingham or Curzons in Derby, than your average "normal" city centre club. I am not peterbed by homosexuals, and really cant see peoples problems with them. So, Rob is gay, and...................??? Now Dave Holland is different. He was convicted of a serious sexual assault on a disabled minor who he was teaching the drums too, now that i think is fucked up!!! People have the right to choose their own sexuality as long as it doesnt harm any body else. Offending narrow-mided bigots doesn't count as harm either.

That's a very valid point. Why does everyone go on about priest being the band with gay singer and not the band with the drummer who molests under age wheel chair bound spazzes?

This board is full of tr00 metal heads.

Leather, studs, macho posing? C'mon most metal is a little homo-erotic!

hahaha, aye that makes me laugh , mind you metal usually makes me laugh coz its generally rediculous, hell bent for leather for example is such a great song, i dont care if its gay or whatever, priest are great

Priest are a fucking great band!!! Tyrant is one of the best metal tracks ever!!!

Gotta love winding people up by just saying 'yeah but they're gay' when they try and talk about them

Not once have I had any jip for loving Priest. You just know shit people.

You are very and absolutely wonderfully correct. Have you heard the version on Halford's Live Insurrection album? It's beastly.

No. Halford are the gayest band ever.

stu u know how much i love priest, but turbo lover?! c'mon!

Well that's small minded indeed. Priest are quality! Although yeh, it is funny to see how many innuendos you can make out of their song names... But in a jokey way, I was laughing with them, not at them..
