The DARK side of ROB HALFORD

We all know Rob Halford is a legendary vocalist of Judas Priest, but in reality, he’s much more than that. And throughout his career, he’s been a member of many other bands. So today, let’s take a look at all of them.

It’s kinda hard to believe that, but back in his childhood, Rob Halford didn’t actually have that much interest in music. I mean, yeah, he did start singing in a school choir when he was just eight years old, but it wasn’t until his teens when music started playing a bigger role in his life when he joined his first ever band at the age of 15. Well, if we can even call it a band. The name of the act was Thack, and it was fronted by his schoolteacher. And in it, the boys performed cover versions of The Yardbirds, Free, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones songs.

Yet, even that project Rob didn’t actually take too seriously, and he definitely did not think that he will ever connect his life to music. And it wasn’t until Rob graduated school and he started working as a lighting assistant and performed a couple of roles on stage in Wolverhampton theater that he realized that it was his destiny to become an actor and perform in front of an audience on stage.
