... but not for Iced Earth

It might not be Iced Earth but...

---------------------------------
Officer Matt Barlow of the Georgetown Police Department in Georgetown, Delaware is the lead singer in FIRST STATE FORCE BAND (www.firststateforce.org). Matt is know to the metal community as the former frontman for ICED EARTH.



The “History” section of the First State Force Band’s website states that, “this innovative band was comprised of law enforcement members from different departments throughout the State of Delaware. These law enforcement members through their dedication, performed concerts several times a month to the children of Delaware using music to stress the importance of staying drug free and to stay away from violence.”

I wonder if some of his workmates have listened to some of his stuff with Iced Earth.

At least he's still singing, if he wasn't it would be a huge waste of such a great talent. He's also probably making more now than he was in Iced Earth. I wonder if dealing with Jon prepared him for a career of dealing with difficult people (i.e. criminals)?

 

[AsModEe]

yes, because most criminals are assholes

OMG look at him! Looks like a different person. Happy for him that he got his job though.

What a waste...couldn't he have joined the Feds or been a lawyer or something?

I'm not positive but I think that he wants to work in homeland security and that requires law enforcement experience, as do many other government jobs because you have to be eligible for certain clearances. Sometimes you can make those requirements through education, but sometimes they can only be met through job experience.
