[XemaSab]

3. sweet

all I know about Judas Priest I know from the classic film "heavy metal parking lot."

[sundog]

6. he's not into leather

[enigmatic]

4. He's been out for years...

Great guy; I kneww him a little when he was living in Phoenix in the 90's..

5. I am a "metalhead"

And as a liberal who supports human rights, I admire Halford for being true to himself, publicly.

So do all of my "metalhead" friends.

So what's not to get?

[KitchenWitch]

7. I am not bashing Halford

I admire his courage...

It is just that all the metalheads I know are fairly closed minded and homophobic...and just try to tell them that he is gay...Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

11. Then they're posers

And not true fans, as far as I am concerned. They miss the point of the music. They should go listen to Nugent then.

I knew you weren't bashing Halford. It was the "metalhead" term I found to be a generalization I could do without. I embrace many genres.

[KitchenWitch]

14. I too like many kinds of music.

Classical, Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, Old Country (before the 90s), Pop, Jazz, Blues. Not a fan of opera much, but other than that....wide open.

8. When I heard Halford

being interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR last month, I thought, "Crap, I'm old."

[Zomby Woof]

13. You and me both!

There is something funny about the idea of a genteel NPR audience nodding its collective heads in approval of a Judas Priest segment... nostalgiacally.

9. "Because he's so not a FAG, dude!!...."

"Cause fags like only sing gay music like Boy George or those Wham fairies. Fuckin Rob Halford KICKS MASSIVE METAL ASS, so I know he can't be no homo. Fuck, next you'll be telling me Lemmy's gay. And I never believed that shit they said about Freddie Mercury netiher!:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
