We were young and about to graduate high school so this was to be one of our final adventures we would all be together at. Never forget this show plus all the other bands that played.

@@DirtyDoctorDan these lyrics are cheesy ? The lyrics in “Electric Eye” describe how satellites can watch your every move on earth, how we are being monitored….. the lyrics are quite ahead of their time. Even though they had satellites in early 1980, there was not a lot compared to today. Lyrics are inspired by the book “1984” by George Orwell, where “Big Brother” is called Electric Eye and he watches over everybody and knows what they do. This song might be the one with the least cheesy lyrics in Judas Priest entire discography, and it portrays todays reality for a large portion of the world. So, when you claim these lyrics are cheesy, you show that you have absolutely zero clue, about anything or anyone. Have you even READ the lyrics ? Unbelievable….

He was their best drummer and gave the band some swing. Ironically, for a band that so proudly ( I hate that word now) waves the Metal banner, he wasn't the most metal drummer, but he was really important to the Priest sound. All metal bands have metal drummers, but none of them sound like Judas Priest., but Priest sounded like the others without Holland. He's not flashy, but his importance is glaringly obvious.

Maybe his heart was racing but he did not show it and by walking slowly, he kept calm and was able to sing perfectly without running out of breath. Let's not forget he was facing a crowd of more than 300'000 people! During the rehearsal he probably counted the steps necessary to appear at the perfect moment ("I am made of metal"). His timing was perfect and the coup-de-theatre of starting to sing without being on stage was phenomenal, because the anticipation just kept growing.

I remember seeing an interview clip of Lemmy being asked if he knew Rob was gay and he was like "Everyone in England already knew he was gay" lmao

[@tompugh5566]

Subtly was never his strong suit, I'm surprised it wasn't talked about more. He didn't exactly hide it 😂. He's so talented that even the homophobic loved his music, when your that good that you can turn back hate you know your doing something right

That's because he friggin' owns the stage when he's out there. I saw them 2 years go, and it was probably the best JP show that I've ever seen, and I've been to 15 or so since 1980. The band and Rob were just dead on perfect.

[@rodrocktv167]

La mejor entrada de la historia, aparece justo en el verso "¡Estoy hecho de metal!" caminando como todo un icono como si no tuviera 100 mil personas frente a el. Sin tratar de impresionar o exagerar, simplemente va caminando desde su camerino, sin parar, rompiendo tabúes sobre su sexualidad y enloqueciendo a miles de personas. Sin arreglos vocales y sin escenografías llamativas, metal al 100% cuando alguien te pregunte ¿Qué es el metal? muestrale este video, es simplemente el ejemplo y la esencia de lo que es. Música con clase y estructura, un estilo influyente y letras simples que dicen mucho. Judas Priest, POR SIEMPRE 🔥❤

I am convinced that Rob Halford is actually the Greek god Apollo in human form, that once his vessel dies he will return to the Olympian Pantheon knowing he left the world a better place for us all. Thus explaining Rob's majestic and unworldly voice. Lol
