Today I finally received my Iced Earth - Alive In Athens 3CD Digipak

 

[metal17]

hmmm...Barlow you will be missed greatly

 

[Sydo]

Fuck Barlow.

 

[metal17]

u wish u could

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Fuck Barlow with a ten-foot cattle prod...




























































...up the butt!

 

[metal17]

why don't you all like Matt?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Because he's an overwrought oaf who gets much too much praise. I don't care how noble or patrotic his leave was. He should have left after BO.

 

[metal17]

hmm...well everyone has different opinions on everything...so whatever you say.
I personally think he is a very very talented singer and his style fit perfectly into Iced Earth.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Little talent.

Today I finally received my Iced Earth - Alive In Athens 3CD Digipak

Alive in Athens is one of the greatest metal cd's of all time. Some asshole stole mine a few years ago. Gives me an excuse to grab the 3 Cd pak.

yes it is one of the greatest CD's...especially for a live. I had the 2CD release at first...and someone borrowed it, I got back only one disc and the case was cracked and the CD had alot of scratches...so I decided to buy the 3CD digi before it is no longer in stock.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Barlow is the only reason post-BO Iced Earth wasn't completely useless. Fuck Schaffer.

I must say, however, that every time I start to wonder "Man, was Iced Earth ever worth anything?" I can put on Alive In Athens and realize, yes. Yes they were.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

And what were they worth exactly?

 

[Rottuated]

Barlow is the only reason post-BO Iced Earth wasn't completely useless. Fuck Schaffer.

So you listened to everything post BO just to hear a guy sing? Sounds like to cons would outweigh the pros then. Nice logic there.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Barlow is the fucking man! And ripper is bad ass too! Schaeffer knows how to pick em!

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

You missed the point, Rottuated. I don't like post-95 Iced Earth. I sold it all
(except for Alive In Athens). Barlow is the only reason it's worth ANYTHING. If it wasn't for him, those albums would be completely worthless, boring shit. Instead, they are merely mostly worthless.

Anon - They were worth precisely 25872489572894573489573453 riffs. Until Jon forgot how to write them.

 

[AsModEe]

yeah... Iced Earth got boring with SW... IMO, barlow along with richard were the only reason why I thought there was still something good in the band.

 

[Rottuated]

Oh well, to each his own I guess.

 

[-Rivfader-]

Iced Earth fans are such bitches.

 

[Rottuated]

Iced Earth fans are such bitches.

Some are crybabies, some are bitches, and some are both. Oh wait, that's most of the metal scene, my bad.
