Judas Priest Fans Picking Tim Owens Over Rob Halford Declared Unfit

Judas Priest fans beware. Two Czechoslovakian brothers have been declared incompetent after stating that they prefer Tim Owens over Rob Halford. Rob Halford is the original singer and frontman that many Metal fans refer to as The Metal God. Tim “Ripper” Owens was in a cover band that filled in for a short time when Halford left the band.

Sergei and Ivan Dvoracek, brothers from Czechoslovakia openly declared that they believed Judas Priest was much better with Tim “Ripper” Owens than with Rob Halford. This caused an uproar from other Heavy Metal fans. An intervention was scheduled and a court decided that both of the brothers are mentally incompetent. At this point They were involuntarily committed to a mental health facility.

Judas Priest Fans

Someone is considered incompetent when they are unable to manage their own affairs due to mental incapacity (such as deterioration or psychosis) or sometimes due to a serious physical disability. Incompetence can be used to appoint a guardian or conservator to manage the affairs of the incapacitated person.

Experts then classified this condition as a mental disorder. From this day forward, The disorder now known as “Ripperphenia” will be included in all text books and medical journals. Dr. Klaus Hinterleitner from the Institute in Vienna was instrumental in the classification. “This is an extremely rare and disturbing mental condition” said Dr Hinterleitner. “Who in their right mind would think Tim “Ripper” Owens is better than The Metal God Rob Halford. That is not a sound mind.”

Owens Vs Halford

Owens made headlines in 1996 when he went from being a fan and singer in a Judas Priest tribute band to actually joining the band. Tim replaced Rob Halford and recorded two unremarkable studio albums with Judas Priest. The movie “Rock Star” starring Mark Wahlberg was loosely based on Owens life. Halford rejoined the band in 2003 and Owens was sent packing.

A friend of the Dvoracek brothers, Robert Gurganious told Madhouse News, “At first I thought they were joking. But then they doubled down and it got darker. They wore Ripper Owens T-Shirts, only listened to the Priest music with Owens singing and even got matching Ripper tattoos. It’s sad actually and I hope they are now getting the help they so need.”
