JUDAS PRIEST Turn Down Reality TV Gig
- Mar. 30, 2006
|
|
Starpulse.com is reporting that JUDAS PRIEST have snubbed the opportunity to appear in a reality TV show because they fear it will cast a shadow over their other achievements. The British heavy metal legends weren't willing to risk being ridiculed, despite the success of shows such as "Rock School" starring KISS bassist Gene Simmons. JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford says, "Everybody is an exhibitionist these days. I've been offered a reality show to get country singers to do a metal-country song in Tennessee. It's mad isn't it? When you're in a band like PRIEST, you have to think, 'Well hang on ... if I do this, how's it going to reflect on the other great things I've been part of?' We're very careful about that in PRIEST." He added, " 'Rock School''s great for Gene because it's got substance and depth, and leaves you feeling good at the end of it, whereas some of the shows make you want to scream and change channel."

Thank god- I couldn't stand to see the mighty PRIEST on a dumb-ass reality show. Halford is a thoughtful, genuine dude.
I guess bands with integrity like PRIEST have it easy when it comes to making decisions- they just watch what Greed Simmons does and then do the opposite.

I think it would be great, 80 year old guy's with a gay singer bring home men and KK dessing up like a women and listening to old CD's when they where good and Rob was on top not the bottom, But they have the worse managment and they turn down everything. Dude, they look old and slow and bored to death

but they allowed their music to appear in a Burger King commercial.
How doesn't that reflect negatively on their achievements? Granted, its not a reality show, but its not something to be proud of, either.

I don't think it's true, And what chanel would have it, I mean they sell maround 150,000 copies in the states with a huge huge publicity thing behind it and they really dont draw a hell of a lot of peolpe for a reunion tour so I think it's not true, really only metal heads care about judas, It just isn't true

You are a piece of shit. You seem awfully obsessed by Halford's homosexuality- a little curious, perhaps?
Fact is, PRIEST is the best metal band in history, while you are a waste of space whose best accomplishment is your job mopping the floor at Burger King.
Go choke and die- just wait to do it when I'm in the room, so the last image your dying mind has as you writhe in agony on the floor is my spit coming down into your ugly face and my boot stomping your empty skull into hamburger.

If you can't accept Rob as the Metal God with his sexuality, then you don't deserve to call yourself a metalhead.
Halford is the fucking Metal God....always will be.

I'm pretty sure that all the posters who have problems with Halford's sexuality are closet cases. Otherwise, why would one man worry about who another man has sex with? As long as its not involving children or animals, I don't care what two consenting adults do with each other.

"You Got Another Thing Coming" for a Burger King commercial here's a link to it:
http://www.metalflakes.com/stuff/burgprst.MPG
Its not a great copy, and it requires quicktime to view, but its there. And it was not done in the 1980's it was, as someone else said about 3-5 years ago.

"Nothing here but children", you say? Take a look in the mirror, Jack.
I'll give you credit, though. You're a survivor. You are the product of an old illusion. You have maintained your ignorent, idiotic views through the decades, even as the world around you became enlightened.
I do not worry about you. Your particular species of idiot is doomed by the passage of time itself. In the end, the healing light of knowledge always prevails over the darkness and ignorence.

The single greatest voice in metal, and he has some major competition there. Who the fuck cares what his sexual preferences are? Is that what guides people at the music store?
Pardon us if we don't take our musical direction from semi-literate, insecure, bigoted, socially-marginalized 11th grade drop-outs.
BTW, good for Priest for turning down that reality TV horseshit.

what a pair of gaping anus types.What do you want to bet that they are the ones with wrists as limp as the day is long.I don't care if someone is gay. I think it takesa bit of guts to stand up and declair such things when it's well known that there are a LOT of these "anti" types around. What I do mind is sissy's...especially ones with loud mouths who could not,in thier wildest dreams , actually do anything to anybody. There really is a class of people that it's ok to use as a spritual,verbal and physical punching bag. Weird thing is...these 2 queefers are making me agree with a couple of folks here that have said more than thier share of way stupid things to. They are right in this case though. I guess it's just in certain threads that they revert to piles of moving vomit....

if you're secure with yourself, another person's private business is their business.
