Back inn the eighties there was this cheesy hair metal band from Switzerland called Krokus. They were Baaaaaad but I have acouple of their albums which were also produced by the same producer as Judas Priest. I have a friend who says Rob Halford sings back uop on a few tracks but there`s no credit nor can I detect him anywhere on the freakin`rthing. ( yes I listened to the whole thinG Embarrassed ). Anyone ?

Halford sings some background vocals on their Headhunter album.  I don't recall which song or songs however.

It doesn`t give Halford a credit. It could be him on stayed Awake All Night. I dunno.

Headhunter was awarded platinum album status in the United States and hit number 25 in the 1983 album charts. It is the most successful album from Krokus to date and is also widely considered to be their biggest musical achievement. All Krokus albums to date have gone platinum in Switzerland. It boasted the power ballad "Screaming in the Night" which saw heavy rotation on MTV. Judas Priest's Rob Halford also guested on backing vocals.

Wikipedia also says their debut album from 1976 was prog. Also, the line-up for their fifth album includes a "Lead Pornstar". lol WTF?!

Somebody already suggested them for PA because of their debut album.  There is a little something to it, but nothing really happened with that suggestion.

Ah, I remember them.  On their pre-Headhunter albums, they ripped off other artists like nobody's business.  Seriously, there were blatant rips of AC/DC and Bad Company.....
