Saw Rob H. at a bar in Phoenix, with his solo band, do that scream live.
From ten feet away. Truly spine tingling.
The most bad ass song of all time?

Oh hell yeah! All four are kickass and cool you shouted out Fred Sonic Smith's band! Hellacopters are great, greasy garage band and of course, the legendary Schenker in both acts: On and On is one of the most kickass songs outside of the UFO work

I got to catch Rob Halford with his solo band, Halford ( Resurrection album) opening for Queensryche ( Q2K/ Live Evolution album) with Iron Maiden (Brave New World album) headlining a show at Blossom Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio back in 2000. Buddy came in from the Air Force in Colorado to attend my brother's wedding and had an extra ticket. Beforehand, we snuck off and ran up to see it and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen, especially for like $35 lol
Crazy that you had 3 of the most powerful voices in metal all in a row and all playing the hits

One of the cool things in the old Halford bands was Russ their lead guitarist.
We know him now as Satchel from Steel Panther. That man can play, really think he's talented on multi-levels. Player, writer, teacher etc..

Yep! Ol Russ Parrish was his first guitarist in Fight. Such a long way from Satchels look today lmao

When Metallica first released their Garage Days EP, I wore out the cassette (remember those!). The one song on that EP that really pumped up my youthful soul was The Small Hours. It had this atmosphere to it at the start and just built up from there.
Now if you excuse me, I need to go start a mosh pit in the warehouse somewhere with some of my employees.

Just an insane amount of talent- IMHO YMMV etc...
Being able to pull off the playing he does, backed up with an actual education, a teacher.
Plus....... he gets to be Satchel and I don't Lol.
Was also Paul Gilberts roomate back in his GIT days. People diss him for the "comedy" rock. They sell him short to be sure.

Russ/Satchel is definitely a criminally underrated guitarist. Yeah, he's funny as hell and has the best childish toilet humor in the market lol but he is also a fantastic player who can do a ton of styles perfectly. Kind of a modern day Frank Zappa, in some manner if you think about it.
His cover band with Michael Starr ( Atomic Punks) is hands down the premier Van Halen tribute act. I mean down to the licks, the sound and the image. Hell Michael Starr is more David Lee Roth than David Lee Roth these days in fairness lol

It's a downright crime how overlooked and important UFO are to hard rock and metal. One of the most influential bands in that area of all time
