Some artists want you to lock up your cell phones<\/a> when you come to their concerts. Others think fans take photos that rival those of professional shutterbugs<\/a>. And then there\u2019s the Metal God, Judas Priest<\/a> frontman Rob Halford<\/a>. Your right to take photos of the pioneering metal group are solely at his discretion. That is, if you\u2019re within kicking distance.<\/p>\n

At a gig in Rosemont, Illinois earlier this week, Halford extended his leather boot into the front row without missing a note of singing the band\u2019s 2005 comeback anthem \u201cJudas Rising.\u201d A fan in the Golden Circle had his phone up for long enough that the singer noticed it and decided to kick it out of his hand in one glorious motion. Blabbermouth<\/a> suggests that the fan had the flash on his phone, which sparked Halford\u2019s ire.<\/p>\n
