C'mon! Rob came out on stage looking like "Glen" from the "Village People" (to paraphrase his own statement) and nobody got it?

My God! He was the classic, "gay-leatherman-biker" stereotype in that outfit! A-freakin'-mazing that nobody knew he was gay.

Still, it is funny that he created what became the definitive "image" of metal...and all the other bands emulated him with the spiked leather collars and gauntlets, the black leather, etc. Pretty funny that the metal "look" was defined by a gay man from Birmingham, England.

Priest rules. Gay or not, Rob's got a great voice and always has. Priest was one of the few good metal bands. They're legends.

Will be happy to see them on tour again.

Gee, next thing you're going to tell me is that Freddy Mercury was gay too.

Is there any "look" that doesn't have its origins in the gay community?
