I remember seeing that when it originally aired... the fact that a gay man is singing them does not change the fact that whenever I hear a Judas Priest song, I wanna crank the volume, toss up the horns, and sing along...
I love his compassion for the young person who has not felt comfortable coming out yet. And his advice that the people who should seek help are those whose homophobia keeps them separated from the gay people who are living their lives freely. Don’t let hate be the thing that separates you from others.
I would never have thought he was gay with his singing style (if that is the correct phrase) and the fact that he is in a heavy metal band. It might be stereotypical of me, however,........
Yeah, pretty much the same here I was a musician in South Florida for some years, and I'd heard rumors about Rob in Miami, but I didn't believe them because of what they were. Just talk.
You're a small minded dude and the L stands for loser, low class homophobic anti- metalhead. We listen to Judas priest and we listen to death and we don't give a f*** what they are. We Love our metal gods
@@bigblackjeffery842 I mean you'd have to be foolish to be disgusted by someone's sexuality, especially when it is someone you don't know personally. The same way a child going "that's yucky (disgusting)" is potentially foolish. But anyone with a brain knows that in actuality, the child isn't foolish even when being disgusted by something that isnt harmful because they know no better. That's why we tend not to call children foolish, but instead adults...
@@bigblackjeffery842Rob needed to set the record straight for his own sobriety as he was kind of forced to stay in the closet for years when Rob was in the spotlight being in JP because if he didn't Rob would've faced a relapse back into substances while I'm straight I know because I've been there.

Like Freddy Mercury, everyone knew he was gay. People didn't care about his sexual preferences. People only cared about his music.
if he took so long to address it publicly, i'm pretty sure people cared about it
He's gay? And all this time I thought he was British.
What's that supposed to mean lol
That's funny.... lol
????
@@robertpetre9378 probably a reference to the vine, "you're lesbian? I thought you were American."
Thank you for the laugh man! 😂
I don't care about his sexuality preferences, at all. Only respect for all he is doing for us.
I knew from the very beginning. Made no difference to me; the greatest metal vocalist ever.
When i heard he was gay I stood still for 1s angry....... at the person who disturbed my headbanding, then i continued headbanging to his dope music.
Gay or not, he is one of the greatest metal vocalists ever
His range is crazy!
As somebody who grew up having a gay older brother,
I literally couldn’t care.
A great person is a great person. Period.

That's understandable cuz that was main culture of Metal then. Especially in glam or hair bands
