Rock Band Weekly: Judas Priest's 'British Steel 30th Anniversary'
Clearly, it'd been way too long since we last used our Rob Halford tag here at Joystiq, so it was convenient when Harmonix announced today Judas Priest's "British Steel 30th Anniversary" album as next week's Rock Band DLC. This collection is taken from the 2009 30th anniversary tour when the band played the entirety of its nine-song 1980 thrasher, British Steel, for the first time live. "Breakin' the Law" live? Sold. Hit the break for all the details.
Metal God Rob Halford trademarks 'Metal God' video game
Rob Halford – lead singer for Judas Priest and the bearer of the immeasurably cooler-than-ours nickname "Metal God" – has filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office under the "class" of "Computer games; video games; and game controllers for computer games." The name he's seeking to trademark? You got it: "Metal God."Maybe it's just Halford watching out for numero uno (hey, if our nickname was "Metal God" we'd trademark everything from video games to hair curlers) or maybe, after getting a taste of that Rock Band DLC money, Halford has more palpable ambitions. What could he bring to the world of videogames, you ask? We've got a couple ideas: Better cover art (see our mashup above) An all Judas Priest and/or Rob Halford-themed soundtrack (who wants all the filler?) And lastly, a rhythm game for the bald metalhead – a tragically underserved niche audience [Via superannuation]
