1. Duane Mitzner

989 the rock in Kansas city
I am writing for my husband. I have been married 20 years to
this man and every day of those twenty years I have heard Rob
Halford, whether it be in the form of Judas Priest, Fight or Halford.
My husband listens to Rob in some form all day everyday. He plays
drums in the garage after work to one of many Priest CD’s. He is truly
the biggest Halford fanatic I have ever seen or heard of. He knows
all the songs by heart. He is constantly telling me what an amazing
vocal range Rob has and how no one could ever compete with him. I
sometimes wonder if I married Duane (my husband) or Rob. Just kidding
but seriously, Judas Priest and Rob Halford have been a part of my
daily life for the last twenty years and I think my husband winning
something like this would be a great gift for his birthday which
happens to be July 29th. What else can I say, we have Priest
paraphernalia, Halford merchandise, we have it all, or at least all
that my husband knows exists, we even have to replace CD’s
periodically because he thinks he has played them out. So in closing
do me a favor, pick my husband Duane, he deserves it and he is one of
the few people I know who would truly appreciate it. The winnings
would be forever, treasured and it would make Duane happy. Thanks for
the chance to enter. Mindy
Rob’s response:
Thank you Mindy for your letter on behalf of Duane. Also, thank you for your support of Duane’s preference for real Metal music. Enjoy the new audio and video product and see you on tour in 2008.
Love,
The Metal God

I consider myself one of his biggest fans due to the fact
that Judas Priest was one of the first 5 Rock albums I ever listened
to. My one brother that is only 5 years older than me used to listen
to only a few rock albums and when I was about 7 or 8 let me start to
listen to them with him. Because of that, I am stuck on Heavy Metal
and Rock music. (specially 70’s and 80′) I also have watched just
about every interview up until the late 90’s (due to having children
and helping my husband run his own business, I don’t get to watch
much tv or listen to the radio anymore)! My biggest problem is your
music is not played that much in my area anymore unless I catch House
of Hair or retro weekends on the radio! I used to own several cd’s
and tapes of your music, but had a house fire 3 years ago and have
not had the money to replace the hundreds of tapes and cd’s that I
owned! Ok! Enough of the boo hoo’s! The point is that your voice is
one of the first of rock education that I had as a little girl
growing up in the 80’s and can’t get enough of your music and voice
along with a very selected others from that time period!
Rob’s response:
Hi Rachel:
Thank you for your support of my work with Priest. Please enjoy the new music and videos with your family, and I hope you make time to come out and enjoy a show in 2008.
Love,
The Metal God

I am 45 years old now and Rob and Judas Priest have been the
predominant band in my life since then. Rob, to me, has always been
THE VOICE and frontman for what metal has always meant to me. From
listening to Sad Wings of Destiny over and over again to his solo
projects , he is THE Metal God. I have seen Rob and the Priest sixty-
four times over the years and I always had to travel because he has
never appeared in my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. But the
anticipation and excitement of seeing him live never goes away. Thank
you Rob for still Defending the Faith and keeping me sane through the
years. You are the best and always will be!
Rob’s response:
Hi James:
Many thanks for your loyal support, and I trust you’ll put the new product to good use. I look forward to seeing you on tour in 2008 somewhere close to Lexington.
Best Regards,
The Metal God

Mr. Rob Halford, My name is David Nichols and I am a 43 year
old man who is undoubtedly your biggest fan. I have met no one who
enjoys listening to your voice and waits like I do to hear what you
have going on or coming up in the future. I respectfully Idolize you
and you definitely are” The Metal God”. Your voice is so powerful the
range just blows my mind, not to mention the heavy leather look that
I have loved ever since you first introduced it to me. I have
listened to your voice from the early “Rocka Rolla”, to the now
“Angels of Retribution”, and I loved your solo projects such as”Two,
Fight, and Halford. All Masterpieces! In 1984 I joined up with some
musicians and played Mississippi Nights where I saw Fight and didn’t
realize that a reporter was there from the St. Louis Post Dispatch
newspaper. The next day I was Awakened to find the reporter had
written in the paper, “Nichols’ voice which is powerful enough even
at its highest registers to be heard well above the den, is
particular reminiscent Of Priest’s, Rob Halford. Our band’s name was
Razorblaze. We played several songs from the Priest and I did
anything and everything to sound like , and look like the man I
admire and follow “Rob Halford”. I did in fact meet you once, at
Union Station. At that time you were touring with Fight and K-SHE 95
had interviewed you and you were signing autographs, but an
autograph wasn’t enough for me, brought my camera and that picture of
us is on my wall. I also find that you’re very intelligent and believe
you and support you in every way and would do just about anything to
meet and talk with you, musician to musician, as you are my Idol, and
I look up to you and most of all, I respect you. OBEY THE TRAFFIC
PATROL , AVOID GRIDLOCK, BREAK FOR ANIMALS, AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR
BURNING ON TURBO POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your No.# 1 Fan, David Nichols
Rob’s response:
Hi David:
Thank you for your comments and support of my work, and enjoy the new Halford and Fight Digital Packages. See you on tour in 2008.
Best Regards,
Rob Halford

I have been Rob Halford’s biggest fan since Fight. I had
every Judas Priest CD as well as Fight and 2WO. I remember hearing
him for the first time and knew that he was one of those artists who
would be around forever as he always has his own style and never
compromises or conforms. When we knew that Hurricane Katrina was
going to directly hit Biloxi it was too late to evacuate so I put all
my CD’s in a trunk, in attic as that was the highest place in our
home. The rains kept coming down and after a while they came inside.
The wind was finishing off what the rain had left behind. We had to
go to the attic and I sat on top of my trunk holding on. The shingles
started to blow off and in came the rain. The trunk fell through the
floor and I went in after it. I held on until the rain started to
stop and when I opened the trunk just about everything had flooded
inside but there in perfect condition was my Fight! I felt so lucky
that I had saved it and would dive in again if I had to to save all
the CD’s which Rob Halford plays on. I am his biggest fan and at one
time was the most water logged fan as well!
Rob’s response:
Hi Laurie:
Thank you for your great story, and enjoy the new Halford and Fight Digital Packages this summer. You’ve got to make up for time lost. I hope I see you on tour next year.
Love,
The Metal God
