"23121985, Judas Priest fans Raymond Belknap and James Vance shot themselves after listening to the Judas Priest album ‘Stained Class.’ The two had drunk beer, smoked marijuana and then listened to hours of the album. Afterwards they took a shotgun to a nearby school playground where Belknap shot and killed himself. Vance then blew away his jaw, mouth and nose but lived for more than three years before dying of effects of the shooting."
Vem minns inte denna fullkomliga galenskap som ledde till en rättegång under sommaren 1990 i Reno, Nevada, där Judas priest stod anklagade för dolda meddelanden på skivan "Stained class" och främst i låten "Better by you, better than me"? Dessutom är ju inte låten skriven av Priest, utan av det tyvärr oftast bortglömda Spooky Tooth.
