Yes. You're right! He does "front" a Metal band. And not just any band. Arguably the most influential Metal band of all time. I would think that is a place in history that far exceeds whatever idea one may have of "how" a Metal band should appear. And since when is dignity such a badge of disgrace??
Look, I can understand that you find the pacing somewhat taxing on your patience. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I am not trying to debate you into a cyber corner. You don't like. You said. I am fine with that. Your definition of dignity and/or what is dignified may very well not be the same as mine. In fact, if you actually read what I said, you may find that I was using illustrative phrasing to demonstrate comparative relevance.
I agree with you. His is not lecturing. Thankfully, he is not imitating Marilyn Manson, either.

I don't expect Rob to do starjumps and leap all over the place.

It is most certainly not dignified and I don't understand why he needs to do it. And since when was metal dignified?
The guy is fronting a metal band for God's sake not delivering a bloody lecture at university.

The reason he bends over I suspect, is to "push forward" the diafragma to ensure the quality.
The stageshow they put on is bombastic, the lighting, smoke, scenery...how many new bands puts on a show like that?? What more do you need to add?
Also, personaly I think that Diamonds and Rust for example is a song that suits Robs nodays more darker voice better than before.

Com on, Rob is 57, and thank God he dosnt strutt around like he taught he was a teenager, I cant stand it when guys at his age pop-around like they were 30 years younger than their actual age, that just becomes parody.
The reason he bends over I suspect, is to "push forward" the diafragma to ensure the quality.
The stageshow they put on is bombastic, the lighting, smoke, scenery...how many new bands puts on a show like that?? What more do you need to add?
Also, personaly I think that Diamonds and Rust for example is a song that suits Robs nodays more darker voice better than before.
But thats me... |

Rob has used a teleprompter in the past. Old age does creep up and catch us all you know. |

| I think the reason Halford looks down all the time is that he has to read the lyrics off the monitors. At least thats what I read a while back. |

His aimless lumbering is annoying.
So what if he's getting on a bit. There are plenty of other people his age or are more sprightly than him.
Rob needs to get his arse down to the gym and shed some pounds and do a bit of work on his stage persona. I can't understand why he just walks from side to side of the stage/sings to the floor.
There is more to a stage show then going on a stage and singing.
Don't get me wrong, Priest were great at Wembley and I really enjoyed the gig. But I think some people would think it was ok if Rob just lay in bed and sang

| Rob has to be in his fifties, and to perform like he did when I saw him in Cardiff this February, simply amazing. So much effort into entertaining his fans. He deserves a medal ! |
