Rob Halford is the best singer in my opinion. The whole band is superb. Ian Hill...superb bass player. Nobody ever talks about him, but he is really good. Green Manalishi was the first song that got me interested.I wanted to see Kiss and it said Judas Priest was the warm up band and I was more excited about that. Kiss was entertaining, but it was all one big rumble of noise where Priest was clear and awesome:) Thank you Rob for all the great years of your talent:)
