That sounds plausible. Pretty funny if Halford was influencing all these tough metal dudes to supposedly look tough because he was into the look for lifestyle reasons.

Then all the hair metal bands blew up, and they actually looked swishy with poofed hair, make up and gauzy scarves but probably got way more girls than every one wearing studs and leather, which was actually fruity too but just in a different way.

It wasn't the look that got the chicks, it was the fame and money. Bragging rights
and a trophy for the girls even if it was a one nighter.

On the lower end, Bartenders get the girls because they're popular. Something
about that spotlight.
