Iced Earth drummer

[BlindPanzer]

This has nothing to do with SymX and their greatness but...
Drummer Richard Christy (ex-ICED EARTH, LEASH LAW, DEATH) has successfully completed his one-week Howard Stern "Get John's Job" audition, and voting has begun at http://contest.trimspa.com/job/poll.php

Voting will take place from now till Wednesday. You can hear a good summary of Richard's week on the show here: http://contest.trimspa.com/richard.shtml

voting takes like 2 seconds

I don't like Howard Stern, but Richard Christy is a hell of a nice guy and an awesome drummer, so I voted for him. It was kind of sad to see him leave Iced Earth - he was the power of that band. His double-bass was unreal.

I don't listen to Stern either but I voted for him. Thanks for the link.

Christy sucked in iced earth, but that wasn't really his fault. Damn jon for having uninteresting music.

I was listening a little bit to that last week and thought that he was hillarious on Howard. I hope he gets the job!

Yes, but now Bobby Jarzombek's in the band and he > Christy.

you can't be fuckin' serious. Well, based on what i have heard (halford's shit as opposed to death) christy can play circles around bobby. I am not closed minded on the matter, however. If you can recommend something that shows bobby playing like that, then i will withdraw that statement.

**UPDATE***

He won and got the job. I wonder what it pays? And now Iced Earth will get some cool promotion.....

Damn right man!!
Bobby is such an awesome flawless drummer
Having that guy play with Halford is like having Romeo in a band playing xylophone
soooo wrong...

 

[Demonspell]

Yeah, why does Jon feel the need to recruit overqualified drummers? I'm guessing it's another extension of his massive ego...

 

[Stygian]

He was easily the best guy for the job, his song parodies are awesome and he is a killer nice guy, met him and got his autograph after an Iced Earth show once

I stand corrected
I agree. Jon things his band is such hot shit that he deserves the best. Thats why they leave him for sebastian bach
