AND

FOR ALL ROB HALFORD’S FANS…

 

This is the first time when I ordered some from Amazon,this last album of Halford band,named Made of Metal,which was practically a gift from my friend Gianny Painkiller,to wish I want to thanks him for the gift.I ordered the album on 25 september and they estimated to send me the item between 8 and 18 october,but I was surprised to receive this so early on 6 october,so I want to thanks to Amazon for their promptitude,and finally i listened the album and I realised that Rob does not stop amaze me since his first album untill now,at that Made Of Metal,from which my favorite song is Till The Day I Die,a song totally out of what Rob Halford done in all his songs in Halford,Fight and Judas Priest,and for that thanks you Rob,but also look below over my comments about my top favorite songs from the album.
