Judas Priest was formed in Birmingham, England back in 1969 but their classic line-up was together only in 1974 when they started a successful recording career, releasing the debut “Rocka Rolla” (1974). From then on with classic albums like “British Steel” (1980), they became one of the biggest Heavy Metal bands in the world, being an inspiration for countless artists worldwide. Halford left the band in 1992 and returned in 2003. These days only him and bassist Ian Hill are classic members in the band, since Glenn Tipton had to retire due to Parkinson’s disease, playing with the band only on special occasions.
So far they have released 19 studio albums and 6 live records. They have sold an estimated amount of more than 50 million records worldwide, 12 million only in the United States.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
