i know the slipknot gig review is due, but watch this video, and then, read the description from wikipedia:
wiki says:
“Vocalist Rob Halford is sitting in the back of a Cadillac with the roof down singing the song and it seems that no one is driving it. Then he meets with two men dressed all in black and carrying guitar cases at a bank and they burst inside, at which point the two men remove their disguises and are revealed to be guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, and are then joined by bassist Ian Hill and drummer Dave Holland, and point their instruments at the camera singing the chorus “Breaking the law”. They intend to rob the bank and torment the customers and staff by their loud electric guitars and bashing drums, with one shot of an old man who wears glasses breaking them due to the decibels. The Security guard, however, was sleeping but then woke up afterwards because of the robbery. Halford then opens the safe (Note that no tools are used – it is the power of their rock that breaks the metal safe) and reveals that he was looking for (ironically) the Gold Record Award for British Steel. The Security Guard is just smiling. They soon leave the bank with the gold record, get back into the car and drive off at which point Halford gives the camera the finger. And as the Security Guard sees a Rock Concert performance on his Security TV, he takes out his “Fake Guitar” and pretends to play the rock song just enjoying himself. Then the car drives by and the video ends with all five band members singing the chorus until the song is finished.”
the power of their rock indeed!

if you’ve driven your car long enough on british roads, you’d see the pranks people pull on vehicles that are dirty, especially if the colour of said vehicle is white. you’d see phrases written on the dust like these:
“please clean/wash me.”
“also available in white.”
but the best one i’ve seen was two days ago, on the rear windscreen of a maroon clio:
“i wish my lass is as dirty as this.”
oo-er.
