Confess: The year's most touching and revelatory rock autobiography' Telegraph's Best Music Books of 2020

A great read. Couldn't put the book down.

Rob Halfords book is incredibly honest and frank - which makes a change from the normal contrived and heavily censored books that most rock stars release. After reading it I actually felt that I have a far better insight into what makes Rob Halford tick. At times he is brutally honest about the personal struggles that he has had to face in his life - namely Alcohol, drugs and his sexuality - and all credit to him he is now in a good place. I won’t go into detail as the book does a great job explaining and discussing these sensitive subjects far better than I ever could.In addition to Rob’s fascinating personal story, I also learned a lot about the history of Judas Priest which before now I wasn’t fully up to speed on - and needless to say that is also very interesting!!!I should also add that I saw the mighty Priest in action recently - and they still rock as does Mr Halford!!! In summary this book is a great read - and will no doubt become a classic someday:))

Aún no leo el libro, acerca del paquete; me gusto que vienen en una caja que lo protege de mal tratarse, no me gusto que dentro de la caja, el libro no viene con envoltura de plástico y estaba manchado con huellas digitales, no eran permanentes pero no me agradó, otras veces que compró libros vienen envueltos en plástico y los protege de huellas y manchas.

I purchased the CD audio version of this book and just yesterday finished listening to it. I can't even begin to convey how much I enjoyed this autobiography. I liked the audio version because Rob reads it himself, and therefore you get his English accent when he's using all those regional terms that you only hear on British comedies. :-)I must "confess" that I only really know and love one of Judas Priest songs, but even if you're not a fan of their music, you will still find this autobiography absolutely amazing. You get to hear/read right from Rob what it was like growing up working class in rural industrial England, the music scene he grew up in during the 60's and early 70's, and how he got into music in the first place. I would have never guessed how artistic he was/is in so many different aspects. He's a very talented and thoughtful guy, and you find out how shy and quiet he is off stage.The stories he tells of the bands he was in, and all the ups and downs of being in the music industry and all the connections and interactions with other musical talents was really fascinating and fun to learn. There are quite a few laugh out loud moments in his story, some I laughed SO hard I had to be careful as I was listening to this while driving to and from work.While not being even close to pornographic, some of his stories are graphic, and he thoroughly discusses growing up a closeted gay man in a time when being gay was not only not accepted, it was downright dangerous. If you're thick-headed and can't be open-minded to learning about another human being's struggles, then don't bother with this book. Rob doesn't care if those types of people read it or not, but my GOSH you will read his heart-felt telling of his personal life, and how he not only survived, but thrived.I can't recommend this book enough, not only because of Rob's heart-felt sincerity, but also any Judas Priest fan will find this book fantastic for the history of the band, and also for how HILARIOUS parts of the book are. Watch out for the "poo in an envelope!"

O livro é maravilhoso, sou fã do judas priest há 20 anos tenho até tatuagem da banda, comprei na pré-venda achando que viria um bookplate autografado, mas infelizmente não veio.Recomendo o livro, pra qualquer fã do priest e de heavy metal em geral é um item de colecionador.
