(TheBRHM.com) I’ve discussed it before as far as comics are concerned but Judas Priest has created enough characters on its albums to spin that out into sci-fi lore. I’m certain I’m not the first to mention this, hell it had to be obvious to the band during its most marketable ...
(TheBRHM.com) Guns N’ Roses is a band that gave me some trouble while doing this edition of ‘Best of the Decade’.
