Biblical

Rob Halford's Heavy Metal Scriptures

De: Rob Halford

Narrado por: Rob Halford

The Metal God, himself, Rob Halford—lead vocalist of Judas Priest and author of the critically acclaimed and reader-beloved autobiography, Confess—delivers yet again, now with the bible of hard rock and heavy metal, all in his enlightening, hilarious, and one-of-a-kind voice.

Rob Halford has long been known for his legendary voice. As the front man of Judas Priest, his vocals have been tremendous, and tremendously influential. In 2020, he brought his voice to the page with a glorious autobiography. Fans and readers loved Halford’s frank and open narrative, as well as his terrific insight and sense of humor. In an ideal follow-up, Halford runs his lively eye over all facets of the hard rock history and the heavy metal world. Biblical is an encyclopedia and manifesto in which Halford shares his opinions, memories, and anecdotes regarding every element of the rock and roll work and lifestyle from tours to tattoos, riffs to riders, and drugs to devil horns. In Halford’s relaxed and honest tone, the book mixes serious and in-depth pieces with whimsical reflections on lessons learned during his fifty years of a life in music. Biblical is a handed-down-from-on-high holy tome that transports fans behind the scenes and back into their record collections, to the almighty ways of rock.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Aspiring metal gods…will enjoy these sermons from the mic.”—Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Confess

"For nearly half a century, Halford has been the voice of Judas Priest, screaming for vengeance against nonbelievers."
—Rolling Stone

"Raw and searingly moving, Confess will delight metal heads and music fans alike."—GQ

"Confess can't be reduced to a collection of salacious gay encounters, cocaine binges or romanticized rock'n'roll horror stories. It's a cautionary tale that offers redemption through courage and the changing of times. It's a treasure-trove of heavy metal nuggets and anecdotes that any rock-blog dork would lose their mind over. But most importantly, it's a beautiful exploration of the human condition and one man's capacity for love and self-love."—Forbes

“Salacious revelations….The most hotly anticipated hard-rock autobiography of the year, Rob Halford’s Confess is gossipy, good natured, and hilarious, often unintentionally. It’s also gloriously and relentlessly filthy….With a breezy, down-to-earth frankness…Confess is much more personal story than music memoir…Halford is winningly unpretentious and self-deprecating….In its final stretches, Confess becomes a moving meditation on family, friendship, personal growth, and social progress…[a] revealing and entertaining book.”—Classic Rock Review

"[Halford] didn't pull any punches and he didn't leave anything out. I thought that was very courageous...very heartfelt and very real."—Buzz Osborne, Melvins

"Rob Halford led Judas Priest, and heavy metal itself, out of the Midlands and into the bigtime."
—The Guardian

"Deliciously readable...Confess is a warts-and-all rock'n'roll confessional."—Esquire

"A unique and deeply revealing insight into the extraordinary life he has led."
—Metal Talk

Awesome

Love it, I’m a huge fan and any fan of Judas Priest or metal will love it.

Incredible Read!

Fantastic book! A true MUST READ for any fan of Rob's or any musician in general. A very eye opening look into the world of a professional musician.

A Must for any Priest fan!

From Rob himself, the good,bad,ugly. No bs. A must for any Priest fan!

Another fantastic book from Rob! 🤘🎸

I really enjoyed this walk in time and space with a metal God. Rob reading the book really makes it shine. Great stories and some solid advice. Highly Recommended!

Rob Halford is my big gay superhero kids!!

STELLAR BOOK! Halford is very insightful and thoughtful in Biblical. I especially loved the part describing the love and respect Halford has for his fans. The man truly gets it and makes me love his music even more if that is possible. I met THE Metal God when he released his box set for Fight in San Francisco Ca and I felt appreciated by this great man for making the trip from Granite Bay Ca to thank him for his incredible art over the decades. I treasure the picture always & forever he allowed me to have taken with him after watching the theatre screening and his short speech. I am still blown away by Halford's War Of Words masterpiece written entirely by himself after having the balls to step away from the MIGHTY Judas Priest to start over in small clubs touring behind his latest & greatest artful masterpiece. God bless Rob Halford always and forever for his incredible art in Judas Priest (Greatest metal band EVER!), Fight, Halford & now two incredible books. I hope he continues to write books and record music as long as he can because he is one of my favorite artists of all time and have the upmost respect for him going into 2023 now! What a stellar & glorious career kids! Thank you Rob Halford for all your art that has brought my life SO much joy. I saw the Turbo tour in 1986 when I was 15 and it was easily on of the greatest concerts I have ever seen and I witnessed the original Metallica in 8/1985 at Day On The Green with the great Cliff Burton, and Metallica did not even have a gold album yet, which also makes my list of greatest concerts EVER. Thanks again Rob Halford for your latest incredible book and all the incredible art you have provided to my life giving SO much inspiration over several decades now. FIREPOWER continued to Deliver The Goods of masterpieces from the 70's, 80's, 90's, & 2000's on! My personal favorite masterpiece that got me deeply into the band forever is Defenders Of The Faith from 1984! METAL GOD FOREVER!!!

Yaaaaaas

One of a kind. Long live the King. Long live the God of Heavy metal.

Confess to Biblical

If you're a fan metal/rock or just music in general I recommend this book along with Confess. Rob is a great at telling his story for everyone to learn from. Great book!!

Fantastic... I enjoyed it even more than 'Confess'

As a 53y/o long time Priest fan, this book really hit the spot for me.

While Confess was a proper autobiography that IMO has general audience appeal, this book, 'Biblical' is an absolute gift to Priest and Metal fans who want to know what it's really like to live through the good, bad & ugly of the Metal God life.

Rob comes across as such a genuine, humble guy. One of the few influential music figures in my life that probably wouldn't be disappointing to meet in person.

Great, inside views on the music business

Halford is slightly wooden in his narration. I think that's the only negative thing I can say about this book. Otherwise, I enjoyed it immensely.

I want Book 3!

I love listening to Rob tell rock n roll war stories. The only thing that sucks is it has to end. Book 3 please!
