** Not weird enough? Try listening to demos with original singer Al Atkins. A good singer, but far more of a gravelly blues rock singer than a screamer like Rob Halford. By Atkins' own admission, the band would have probably gone in a more Music/{{AC/DC}}-type direction had he stuck around.

Judas Priest is a HeavyMetal band that got its original lineup in [[UsefulNotes/TheWestMidlands Birmingham, England]], in 1969. Taking their name from an ensemble also called Judas Priest which split up earlier that year, lead singer Al Atkins approached K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, and John Ellis to become their singer. Atkins and their subsequent drummer Alan Moore (not [[Creator/AlanMoore that one]]) left in 1974. Ian Hill's girlfriend suggested her brother, Rob Halford, could fill Atkins's departure.

* BandOfRelatives: A fairly unknown example. Bassist Ian Hill was formerly married to Rob Halford's sister Sue, and as such, Halford was both Hill's brother-in-law and is the uncle to Ian's son.

** Richie has been considered by some to be this for K.K Downing, including by Downing himself, mostly due to the fact that he's blond, plays Downing's parts and uses the exact same type of guitars (Flying V's).

Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that


* CoolOldGuy: Halford certainly qualifies as one of these. The man has hit his 70s and he can ''still'' deliver a peerless MetalScream.



%%* MetalScream: Rob Halford is a master of it. [[CoolOldGuy Even today]].
