Moreover, the guy they brought in to replace him -- Ripper Owens -- was plucked from a Judas Priest cover band. It's that rags-to-riches story that inspired the dubious Mark Wahlberg film, "Rock Star."

Halford went and did a couple of solo records and forged the project TWO -- an industrial band for Trent Reznor's NOTHING label. None of this mattered.

Halford went onto rejoin Priest and they recently released a double concept album about the life of Nostradamus. That may sound silly -- and it is, really -- but it's certainly no sillier than OUTSIDE THE GATE.

My question: Where is Ripper today?

Alex "Hell Bent for Leather" in NYC

>>That's true, the original singer is Rob Halford, the only singer who could prolly eat Jaz Coleman alive and not miss a hight note. This other guy was brought on (and a good job too, btw) after they fired Rob Halford for finding out he was..... gay!! Bastardly, i think.

>>They brought on the 2nd singer, did well with him, but in the end they made up with Rob and shook hands, and now are touring California soon.

>>I thought the singer from JudeASS Priest was an oldish guy w/white hair (I'm ignorant about metal). Is this a new version of the band? (It's pretty hard to change lead singers and still have the same band, unless it happens early in their career a la ACDC, Buzzcocks (very early) or Dropkick Murphys, and all 3 of those bands had a 2nd singer that sounded exactly like the first).

>>Here's what's wrong with kids. It's not that they don't wanna rock, it's that -- evidently -- they don't know how to do it properly (said like the stuffy old man I truly am). Witness these two examples of the new subgenre thus dubbed "crabcore." If I have my facts right, they combine elements of emo, metal, teen pop and eurovision song contest crapola. You MUST watch these. They are truly brain frying. Don't miss the choreography on the first one, and hold out for the inexplicable Eurodisco big finish.
