Here are 20 things we learned from Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford's wild new memoir
Although Judas Priest had put out two albums already by the time of 1977’s, which contains Halford’s vocal showpiece “Victim of Changes” — the singer thought he could have done better. So for he consulted his Roget’s Thesaurus and settled on many of the lyrical themes that would define Priest’s music.
3. Rob Halford embraced Judas Priest’s black-leather look even if he wasn’t exactly into what it stood for. The singer credits former Priest guitarist K.K. Downing with the idea of the band dressing in black leather in 1978. But while the look fit into the gay culture Halford so longed to join, leather wasn’t his bag. “I had no interest in S&M, domination, or the whole queer subcult of leather and chains,” he wrote. “My sexual preference was for men, sure, but I was — and still am — pretty vanilla.

By then, Ringo Starr owned the place, but it was still filled with relics of the Lennon era, including two toilets that were side by side with nameplates that read “John” and “Yoko.” “I tried to imagine them sitting side by side, holding hands, having a poo,” Halford wrote. “Truly, sometimes love knows no bounds.”One night, Halford was trying to get some shuteye when the piercing sound of Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton’s guitar wrenched him from his sleep at 4 a.m.
When Halford reunited with Priest in 2003, he found himself forgetting some of the lyrics, an occurrence he chalks up to years of alcohol abuse. Even though he was sober, it was still difficult to remember it all. “Then I went to see Korn — a great band — and noticed [frontman] Jonathan Davis squinting at a screen once or twice during the show,” Halford wrote. Backstage, Davis extolled the virtues of the autocue to Halford. “It’s great!” Davis told him. “I’ve got so many Korn songs to remember.

Trump Stokes Crime Fears By Having Mike Pompeo Disguise As Cat Burglar, Rob Him On Debate StageCLEVELAND—Letting out a forced gasp at the phony mugging, President Donald Trump stoked fears surrounding crime Tuesday by having Secretary of State Mike Pompeo disguise himself as a cat burglar and rob him on the debate stage. “Oh no, look, it’s a violent Antifa thug sent here by Joe Biden to rob me!” said Trump, exclaiming that these types of thefts would happen more and more if liberals raise taxes while a black-clad Pompeo stuffed the president’s wallet into a sack emblazoned with a dollar sign. “Yikes! I want to call the cops on this very, very bad guy, but there aren’t any police around because Black Lives Matter got rid of them! I should never have come to this Democrat-run city!” At press time, William Barr came out disguised as a doctor to treat Trump’s injuries and then charged him $50,000, explaining that the high price tag was due to the exorbitant insurance premiums caused by the ACA.
