Not the best look, Rob Halford.

The Judas Priest front-man was recorded (by another fan…oh, the irony is rich) kicking a cellphone out of a fan’s hand during a recent set. Apparently the fan had been recording for a long time – long enough to upset the singer, who told fans to experience the show through their eyes and not their phones.


Dude, it’s 2019. Whether you like it or not, people want to have photos and video from shows they attend… If you don’t like fans recording during the show, make like Jack White, and have fans lock their phones in a Yondr pouch before entering the venue.

Concert tickets and phones are expensive, let your fans – who paid to see you – enjoy the show however they like or ban phones altogether.
