Right now, two legendary acts are touring the U.S., continuing their legacies and defending the faith, as it were. The “Metal God” himself Rob Halford and his bandmates in Judas Priest have been sharing a stage with the king of shock rock himself, Alice Cooper, with Corrosion of Conformity providing some killer support.
You bet your ass we weren’t going to miss an opportunity to photograph these living legends. Of course, we asked Jess Ripper if she was available to take her camera out to the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey to get us those shots. And damn it, she nailed the assignment.
As you can see in the photos below, it’s almost like you were there with her, singing along to “Billion Dollar Babies” and “Firepower”. She unfortunately missed the Corrosion of Conformity set, but we’ll have plenty of times to catch Pepper and the guys when their new album comes out.
As always, a big thanks is in order for Jess Ripper, who was at the show to take these great photos. Comment on how good her work is down below. Oh and feel free to follow her on Instagram at@jess1ripper.
