    I'm not a Walburg fan so that maybe how I missed this movie until now. I truly enjoyed it! I love the 80's Rock. Many of the songs reminded me of AC/DC style. 1 of theirs is on the soundtrack. Great job! 🎹🎤🎼🎸

    While not particularly original, if you are a fan of rock music like myself you'll probably like this. Based on the true story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, the man who replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest, the movies explores the cliches and stereotypes of eighties heavy metal. The plot line is pretty predictable (guy dreams of making it big as a lead singer, joins the band he's loved all his life, finds out he's being used and what he thought he wanted wasn't what he wanted at all, and realizes the moral of the story is to be yourself); any guitarist could have written it. Mark Wahlberg did a great job as Chris Cole, and many real life rock stars are featured, such as Zakk Wylde, Eddie Vedder and Jason Bohnam. The soundtrack is great, too. Overall, this film isn't a masterpiece but pretty good.
