Review Praise for Confess"Confess cant be reduced to a collection of salacious gay encounters, cocaine binges or romanticized rocknroll horror stories. Its a cautionary tale that offers redemption through courage and the changing of times. Its a treasure-trove of heavy metal nuggets and anecdotes that any rock-blog dork would lose their mind over. But most importantly, its a beautiful exploration of the human condition and one mans capacity for love and self-love."--Forbes"[Biblical is the perfect companion piece [to Confess], looser and even more wry and humorous.... Halfords sermons from the mount of heavy metal will attract even the non-hardcore Judas Priest fan."--The Houston Press"[Halford] didnt pull any punches and he didnt leave anything out. I thought that was very courageous...very heartfelt and very real."--Buzz Osborne, Melvins"A unique and deeply revealing insight into the extraordinary life he has led."--Metal Talk"Aspiring metal gods...will enjoy these sermons from the mic."--Kirkus Reviews"Deliciously readable...Confess is a warts-and-all rocknroll confessional."--Esquire"Fans can rightfully think of [this] as The Book of Halford. A fast and fun read...There are plenty of funny moments."--Antimusic.com"For nearly half a century, Halford has been the voice of Judas Priest, screaming for vengeance against nonbelievers."--Rolling Stone"Halfords honest and warm recollections give the feeling of hanging out with an elder rock statesman who never fails to entertain. He shows the same humility and sensitivity as in his previous book, and readers will find that he is never far from his roots as a kid from Walsall, England. Rock-music readers who enjoyed Halfords first book will enjoy his second just as much, if not more."--Library Journal"Raw and searingly moving, Confess will delight metal heads and music fans alike."--GQ"Rob Halford led Judas Priest, and heavy metal itself, out of the Midlands and into the bigtime."--The Guardian"Rob Halford...is back with another fascinating and insightful book....Rob delivers the scriptures of his lifes work with a clever and unique twist....He shares these gospel truths with humor and open candor without leaving out any risqué details....Biblical...is told in Robs relaxed tone, as if he is speaking directly to you one-on-one while mixing serious and in-depth topics with whimsical reflections on lifes lessons."--Sonic Perspectives"Salacious revelations....The most hotly anticipated hard-rock autobiography of the year, Rob Halfords Confess is gossipy, good natured, and hilarious, often unintentionally. Its also gloriously and relentlessly filthy....With a breezy, down-to-earth frankness...Confess is much more personal story than music memoir...Halford is winningly unpretentious and self-deprecating....In its final stretches, Confess becomes a moving meditation on family, friendship, personal growth, and social progress...[a] revealing and entertaining book."--Classic Rock Review Details ISBN0306828251 Author Rob Halford Pages 336 Publisher Hachette Books Year 2023 ISBN-13 9780306828256 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-11-07 Imprint Hachette Books Subtitle Rob Halfords Heavy Metal Scriptures Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-11-07 NZ Release Date 2023-11-07 US Release Date 2023-11-07 UK Release Date 2023-11-07 DEWEY 781.6609 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
