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  ). 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.

I followed your link through to the article on Rob Halford, and there it said that he sang on Ready to Burn. -------------

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.....
