CGiii Comment

Ooooh the androgeny of heavy metal.

A loosely based biopic on how Ripper became Rob Halford's replacement in Judas Priest because Halford was gay.

It would have been a more interesting film if it been about Halford.

Alas, it is a sappy story about over-coming the nasty ravages of hard rock – pretty damn dismal stuff.
