The way I understand it is that Rob wanted to make music outside of Priest. His contract would not allow him to do this, so he had to quit Priest in order to do different things. His sexual orientation wasn't made public 'til a few years later. The way he was portrayed in the movie is one of the reasons why Priest didn't want to be associated with the movie, as that is not how it came down (among other things).

| Check out Ripper in Victum of Changes on Live in London, he holds that not at the end way longer than Halford ever did. If anyone can find a version where Halford holds that high note that long I would really like to hear it. Good luck! |

| i thought he came out a while b4 he left priest. w/e. gay or not, Halford is amazing. his sexuality actually was the reason for him wearing leather, tht brought the "look" to metal, thank halford for tht!! |

| really? thats werid i heard how that inspired the movie rockstar though. Pissed me off how they switched it around so the band kicked out the lead singer. BS. |

| Yeah, wasnt Tim Owens found from a tribute band to judas priest? and tht inspired tht movie rock star or sumthin, then the same thing happend with journey with tht chinese guy? |

| The fact is though that Owens is a copy. He may not be so much now, but thats how he started. Though he doesnt sound exactly like Halford thats what he was aiming for. Its funny how some people (not very many, but a few) claim that Owens is better than Rob is, and i just laugh my ass off. Take any track that Tim covered of the old Priest with Halford singing. Look for the tracks where Rob stretches out the last line in the song, time how long it goes for. Compare it to the tracks Owens sings on. All the ones ive found Halford goes longer and stronger. I'm sorry, I like Tim owens, he's very talented but Rob Halford will always kick his ass. To much talent for a mortal, that why he is a god! |

He's the closest thing to Rob in his younger years. NO ONE can replace Rob, but Ripper did do a good job. I Don't think singing Priest is Ripper's best forte but he did do a decent job. Now he's free to be himself. Great for him.

I'm not trying to rip on Tim, he is a very talented guy, but Rob was and is untouchable. Halfords scream could go one forever and you were amazed, Owens i honestly was never that impressed with his screams, i wanted to cover my ears.

Rob, at his age, outsings and outclasses Ripper.
I wish Tim all the luck in the world on his own endevers. I know he will do very well for himself.

Even ppl who havent even heard a Tim Owens song will still say tht he sucks, i hate ppl like tht. Tim was good. but in the end Rob Halford has a better range and is just a better vocalist...and songwriter. lol |

| Considering Halford is the best metal singer of all-time, this is a pretty one-sided question. |
