Answer: Tim 'Ripper' Owens, Judas Priest

Tim 'Ripper' Owens was a singer in a Judas Priest tribute band. He replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest. The lyrics are from 'Metal Messiah' on the 'Demolition' album. His story was to be told in a movie called 'Metal Gods' which was supposed to be his story of going from tribute band singer to the singer of the actual band, however Hollywood wanted to include a love interest, causing the band to tell them to stuff it.

The result was the Mark Wahlberg movie, 'Rock Star'.
