Rob Halford is in Judas Priest, or I should say recently returned to Judas preist. You must be thinking of Bruce Dickinson, who returned to Iron maiden after going solo for a bit.

I've been a major Iron Maiden fan since Paul D'ianno was the singer(yes, I'm that old!), but Dickinson's solo album "Tattooed Millionaire" is some of the worst crap I've ever heard. I literally couldn't believe my ears the first time I listened to it, it was that awful. The second and last time was about 2 years later, and it didn't get any better. He put out some others from what I understand, but I wasn't going to get anywhere near them.
I don't have the new CD, but the single I heard sounded pretty good(can't think of the name). I also liked "Brave New World". It may not be as good as some of the early 80s stuff like "Number of the Beast" or "Powerslave", but I think expecting a band to live up to that standard is setting the bar unreasonably high. With some of the junk out there today, I'm just glad they're putting anything out.
