You'll never see me in a high end fashion store.
I'm a poorboy from the midwest. (LOL)
Also, I wasn't saying it didn't cause fashion or become a lifestyle for some, I'm just saying
for Priest it was a created stage persona just like the majority of bands out there including MRH.
Not many go onstage as themselves. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by . from Wednesday, March 07, 2012 12:26:51 AM)

That's true but now it has become a lifestyle to dress with the studs. If you check the high end fashion stores you'll see plenty of Valentino, Louboutin, Alexander Macqueen, Westwood, etc who put leather and skulls in every item they design. Westwood herself was one of the people who along with the Sex Pistols helped bring the punk look to the fore, all stemming from the underground scene, from which Rob Halford also took the idea. In the section for kids clothes you see metal studs and gothic lettering.

The one thing people need to understand is that they're on a stage and they're giving a performance.
Does anyone here remember Alice Cooper. He said it's all show business and everyone needs an act.
Has anyone here seen Judas Priest when they're not on stage. That's not how they're dressed. And the leather
look isn't how they started out either. They evolved into it and it became their stage persona. A Judas Priest
show is just that, a show. MRH is doing the same thing only their show is blood, masks, and theatrics. So laugh
if you must but it's all Rock n Roll.
(not comparing Priest to MRH just trying to make a point)
