Here I thought that nobody would even make an attempt. Nope, not a card game. At one point, I thought it might have had something to do with 99/100 which also didn't make much sense.
On O'ahu, one of the major hotels had an art exposition about Amelia Earhart. Not knowing much of her history with regard to Hawai'i, I read up about her.
"The 99's" was an international organization of women pilots. Earhart was its first president. The name was chosen because 99 of the 100+ licensed women pilots of the time (1929) showed up at the first meeting. The term was later expanded to refer to any women with the bravado only an early aviatrix would have possessed: "she is a definite 'Ninety-Nine'! "

In Rocka Rolla, the lyrics go:
"Barroom fighter,
10 pint a-nighter,
Definite 99."
The first two lines are obvious and I always thought I knew what the reference to "99" was - at least in vague terms. However, it refers to something quite specific.
What does it mean? |

Nice google search but I'm afraid that none of the references make sense in context. "The Wizard of Oz" (in color) would have been the closest in the scale of changing the world but, as you say, it was already around. The Who release wouldn't have taken hold yet (nor did that one song - or Tommy - have any sweeping effect over Western Civilization) and an episode of the Wild, Wild West wouldnt' even be in the running. I'd say that Sabbath touring with Priest (another stretch in 1968), while a "memory" wouldn't have any mass effect. Not long-term, at least, thereby "[shaking] the world."
NONE have to do with my clue. Like most songwriters, Halford repeats the reference in a different song altogether.

OK, Here's what I came up with. In 1968 The Wizard of Ozz was around, the show "The Wild,Wild West had an episode called "The Night the Wizard shook the Earth" and The Who released "Pinball Wizard". I thought with Sabbath they would have been touring around the pubs in England prior to releasing an album and no one had heard anything like that before so it would have made an impression on Halford.

Another great guess. Also one that passed through my mind but same problem - year mentioned, nickname "The Wizard" (never used for Iomi or anyone else in the group) and one could never really claim that they ever "shook the world." If he / they did, it would have been much later than '68 too. Sure, Halford could be referring to the year they started playing but, like Hendrix, the dates and title just don't match up.
Ok, a hint? The answer to this question is found in another Halford (band, Fight or JP) song.

Most certainly. Hendrix and Leary were friends. Hendrix was one of the many who was an open "disciple" of the teaching of Dr. Leary who, among other things, preached the use of psychedelic drugs (LSD) and marijuana.
They even recorded a well-known track together. Do a youtube search for Leary and Hendrix:
www.youtube.com/watch
"Hendrix has dinner with Timothy Leary, Devon Wilson, and Jann Wener, Editor of Rolling Stone magazine. Afterwards, Hendrix joins Leary at the Record Plant where they (alongside Stpehen Stills, Buddy Miles, and John Sebastian) record "Live And Let Live." The track is later released on Leary's 1970 You Can Be Anyone This Time Around what was originally designed as a campaign engine for his bid to become Governor of California in 1970. By the time the album was released, Leary was back in jail."
Hendrix is an easily recognizable image of the 60s. Besides, who'd want a Harvard Ph.D / psychologist in a music vid?! LOL!

Bing! The "Wizard of the Psychodelic Era," Timothy Leary. In 1968, Leary published his most influential book, curiously enough, called "High Priest:"
www.roninpub.com/HigPri.html
Vail got the song with Halford's "Drop Out" which makes the clear reference:
"I Like To Lose My Mind And Fly Off Into Space
Why Don't You Come With Me You'll Leave Without A Trace
I've Got The Magic That Will Open Up Your Head
Tune In, Turn-On, Drop Out - Just Like The Wizard Said."
Halford also speaks of how Leary changed the world in the concert intros to said song.
At 1:25 in the following vid, I rest my case: www.youtube.com/watch
Good vid. I want to freeze my head too.

Hey, Strat and acolyte! You guys were on the right track. For one, he does bring the apocalypse, and salvation is his task.
Okay. Here's another Judas Priest riddle. Shouldn't be too hard, I hope.
A blinding blur is all you see,
all you hear is my metallic scream.
in my wake the thunder roars,
and my power grows as I soar.
My shadow leaves a mark
on the tired and distraught,
revenge is what they seek,
under my giant silver wings.
What am I? |

Aha! Partial credit! Grammatical inversion is one of many forms of displacement. It does answer the question as syntax is, indeed, displaced in the examples I gave. However, the part that isn't addressed by the simple answer of "inversion" (whereby natural word-order or phrasing is simply inverted / displaced) is when such it is used to emphasize certain words as is common to lines of poetry or song lyrics.
When this rhetorical device is used via poetic license for specific effect such as emphasis or rhyme, the transposition is called hyperbaton.

No, but that is pretty darn good. Only problem is that there ARE no participles in a sentence like "to you I creep." A dangling participle (past or present) usually refers to one that is used when the antecedent isn't clear.
For example: "SCREAMING for vengeance, Guido listened to Halford." - The person who is screaming isn't clear.
Nonplussed, Freeze continues to remain silent on this subject. No ambiguity there! Bwwwahaaaaaa!!!

No. A "rhyme scheme" is a simple ABABCC (for example ) sort of straight-forward organization. It does not mix standard "subject, verb, object" syntax.

Heh, maybe that was the idea of a swimming pool caused from sailors from a long time ago seeing too many oarfish.
But I'd prefer mountain waterfalls, lakes and creeks than a pool... the smell of the chemicals bothers me a lot.
