Hey Jace

[Jace_Mereel]

One of Jon's numbers is public... his store's.

Yeah, I thought about it calling the store itself to see if they have any resources for finding specific Gettysburg rosters. I have ancestors whose company fought at Gburg, but I can't find if they actually fought there. I figured if anybody, Spirit of '76 would know. But I didn't want to tick Jon off, making him think I called the store just to goosh over Iced Earth. *shrug*

And make sure to specify the car, and not the gay civil war shit.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Don't forget to ask him if he owns any General Lee action figures.

I haven't seen Warrel on in a few days or such. And what emotions what the topic evoke in him?

 

[Lunar Still]

Either humor or a sudden unwillingness to talk about it.


I'd bet humor.

 

[EricT]

Every day I contemplate calling the store to tell Jon "Dude, get Barlow back... Please?"

You seem to know what happened, so what's the story?

Hmm, someone should call Jon's store then say brb and call ole Barlow down at the police department "you can do that" and three way them.

It's funnier if you hear WD tell it.

I think the Glorious Burden was reasonable. The Gettysburg trilogy is quite nicely written, and executed. A few other songs are pretty decent on that record too. Jon's one dimensional lyricism aside, it's not bad.

Plus, Ripper is pretty damn able. Barlow was one of a kind, but I'm cool with Tim.

Stupid hick.

Man, I just wanna cover you in peanut butter and eat you alive. So damn adorable!

That's new. How so?

I also thought The Glorious Burden was pretty decent. There were some hit or miss moments, but the Gettysburg trilogy was amazing. Tim sounded incredible on the last part. He actually showed quite a bit of emotion toward the end of that part.

But for the most part, the only Iced Earth album I love completely and never get tired of is their self titled.

I actually like the way Jon writes his lyrics. His riffs get on my nerves though.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Schaffer had one of the greatest bad lyric moments ever on the song Nightmares. "Nightmares in the.. NIGHT!"

Oh man.

 

[derek]

That's new. How so?

For numerous albums he stuck to the same tried and tested formula of being Anti-Christian, Faux-Emotional or writing about mythology in some form or another. With the Glorious Burden, he took another literal narrative stance and fired through 12 (?) songs with little eloquence.

Jon is a one dimensional lyricist, there is no exploration or inspiration in his words. I fail to see how that is new? If music and words could be conceived as a cubic box, then Jon has done all his writing firmly on the most obvious face.
