It was already fucking stupid to name their band Priest when Judas Priest exists. Oh, my band? We're called Sabbath. My side project? Zeppelin. Then to go even farther and go by the surname of another hugely known, hugely popular singer? I. Can't. Even. Right. Now. Arms crossed emoji.

Ridiculous take. The band Priest have nothing to do with judas priest or queen.
Then why did they take Priest’s name? Why did the take Freddy’s name? They’re a fraud!

Except the name of the band and the name of the singer. My band? Beetles My Singer? Presley.

It's as if the world ran out of words to name something.

Priest sucks. I tried to give them a chance but mostly everything about them sucks. The music, the lyrics, the vocals, the video etc.

Because of this board, I too gave Priest a chance. I'm not going to go as far as saying "mostly everything about them sucks", but I will say it's clear that Tobias was the main creative talent behind Ghost at the time both were in the band.

Priest mastermind Linton Rubino (Mercury) was the bass player in the band and not involved in the creative process. The only bandmembers that were a real part of the creative process in Ghost were Simon Soderberg and Martin Persner, the two guitarists knowns as Alpha and Omega respectively

Interesting interview with Mercury:
