Iced Earth Thread

[Wicked Child]

There's only one Iced Earth album i don't like so much, save for a few songs, is Something Wicked This Way Comes. I just don't like the ballads, some of the rockers are generic and boring and i hate that ballad-rocker-ballad-rocker pattern. So inconsistant. Other than that, i like them all. Some much more than others of course.

 

[AsModEe]

I don't like Something Wicked for the same reasons. And, unfortunately, TGB sounds a lot like a bad Something Wicked this Way Comes.

 

[~Nailbomb~]

they're as good as dead without Barlow

Yes, because we all know that the only reason Iced Earth were any good in the first place was because of Barlow.

 

[Victim of Deception]

The only Iced Earth albums I really care for are the first two, particularly Night of the Stormrider. Consequently, neither features Barlow.

Barlow has avergae singing ability at best. When he goes into screechy nuts-in-a-blender mode, I get really, really irritated.

When I get irritated, people die.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I always thought Barlow had a nice, powerful voice that suited the band well. Too bad I can't say the same for the Ripper.

 

[Toby]

I agree with the guy who said that Owens was probably the better option for TBG over Matt Barlow, though I reckon he still could've done an awesome job of it

 

[Intoxicator]

Ripper owns live.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Ripper owns live.

Oh fuck yeah.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

I have a few of their albums. I like to listen to their stuff when I'm in the mood. Probably my favorite part are Matthew Barlow's vocals. He is a really, really powerful sounding singer.

Ripper owns live.

Oh fuck yeah.

I like Iced Earth a lot.

Good albums: Burnt Offerings, Dark Saga, Night of the Stormrider, Something Wicked This Way Comes.

The new album I enjoyed a lot for a short while after I got it, then it became repetitive and lost interest in it.. though I am one of the people who still seems to like Owens' vocals. I also saw Iced Earth live this summer... which restored my liking in them a lot, they were awesome live.

 

[Toby]

I hope so fuckin much that they do an Aus tour one day. I'd cream, then I'd go see them.

 

[EternalMetal]

I saw them live with the Ripper and they just owned. Really good performance.

went with Alien

Y yo también, says the guy who works for the Inquisition...unofficially.

What does THAT mean?

Hey someone had to kill it.

Peace!

[Life Sucks]

I like Night of the Stormrider.

 

[Morbid_Corpse]

Night of the Stormrider is fucking awesome, but i prefer the stuff with barlow

 

[Toby]

Stormrider could be their best album, music wise
