-->'''Kurt:''' How do you feel about Rob Halford coming out and admitting that he's gay?

Every second of it, from the band holding up a bank with their ''instruments'' to a security guard dancing with a (very oddly shaped) cardboard cutout of a guitar, has to be seen to be believed. (Apparently this was done intentionally, but still - the sheer contrast between the video and the dark, angry lyrics is a thing of beauty to behold.)

Judas Priest had to pay for the repairs, and were also banned for life from performing there again. Some time later, Glenn and KK decided to sneak in to watch a tennis match, wearing hoodies because they were still banned - but during a break one of the ushers walked up to them and whispered, "Thanks for the new seats".

All of them are pretty funny, but the best one is probably the tale of Rob, Glenn and the cardboard tube.
** To elaborate: in the early days when they played in clubs, Rob once tried to liven up a concert by hitting Glenn with a cardboard tube (it makes a little more sense in context), with Glenn's permission of course; but the tube was a lot heavier and thicker than either of them had expected. Rob remained oblivious throughout the performance that he was basically beating Glenn up for real, but poor Glenn definitely noticed when he got whacked over the head with the thing several times.
