Is Jon Schaffer game over?

[{D|aBo|uS}]

Are you referring to this kind of pattern?

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
0-000-000-000-00

These are not triplets. It's an eighth note followed by two sixteenth notes.

I think he's talking about what guitarists call "galoping"(don't know if it's the word in english though). It's right that he uses it a lot.... but it's kinda ok.... But it is true that all of his songs look the same.... The way they are played...etc...

Glorious Burden was okay. Tim Owens is a fucking great vocalist, but he'll never be as good as Bruce Dickinson which is clearly what he was aiming for on that album (not Halford like some would have you believe).
No band will ever top "Powerslave" or "Pice Of Mind", so Iced Earth might as well stop feckin trying.

In your point of view, no band can do it..... but in my point of view, it has been done a long time ago. And I don't really think Bruce Dickinson is the best metal's singer. Of course he has been the best for a long time, but this is over. And even if you think that Iced Earth tries to "copy" Iron Maiden.... Hey, there's almost no link between the two of them. The drum is better, the guitar is better, the sound is better. Iron Maiden has never been a "heavy" band.....mostly because of Steve Harris which only wants us to hear his playing. I hate bands where the bass is louder than the guitars... but anyway, it is an opinion...mine. And probably that Maiden fans won't be happy about it, but I don't really care. Overall, what I mean is that, OK Iron Maiden were the kings some time ago....but not anymore...it is really finished. They are a great band and I guess metal is what it is thx to them. OK, I think Iced Earth are kinda better than Maiden, but still, Jon Schaffer should stop being a jerk and starts to make good music.

And why is it Dickhead..... You don't seem to have much more to say. My argument about what anyway.... about Iron Maiden being not that good, or about Jon Schaffer being a jerk???

Forget about him... all he can do when it comes to arguments is saying " OMFG YOU'RE SO STUPID " and nothing else.

Schaffer's career as a musician is over as long as he doesn't want anyone to get any involment in the song-writing. People, unless they are fucking deaf, will some day finally understand that Schaffer has no longer any potentiel as a song writer. Proof? Listen to Melancholie, Wathing Over Me, Hollow Man, Blessed Are You, When The Eagle Cries, etc. Why these songs? Simple: They are all the fucking same. And now, he can't even write good aggressive songs.

Yeah, that's exactly right, I never have reasons for any of my opinions.

Who cares if jon's a jerk, do you hang out with him or something ?

If Iced Earth songs had introductions before them with Jon going "I wrote the music and lyrics for this song" Then It would matter. I could see him doing that on the next cd. It can be called "Don't Defy Thy Bush" featuring "Obey Amerika or Eat my Musket". Regardless Night of The Stormrider is fucking amazing... and Matt Barlow is overrated.

Well, you almost said it. In Glorious Burden, you can see after the title of each song in the bootleg " Lyrics: Schaffer/Music: Schaffer " So it's like saying that he made an intro for each song saying he made it all by himself.... sorta.......

Of course I don't hang out with him... but you know as an example....people that hang out with Mike Portnoy say that he's a jerk...I don't really care because I only hear stuff about it....and Dream Theater were a BAND even if Portnoy or Pettrucci or James were jerks....I don't care. But when you read articles or interviews with Jon Schaffer, that asshole is always saying that only HE can do the job in the "band". HE composes the music, HE writes the lyrics, HE played the bass when Diggorgio "wasn't" able to do it........and so on. I've never read any interview with Mike Portnoy having that kind of selfish attitude.

And for Jon Schaffer's music, well AsModEe said it.

Well...if it's not the case, why don't you just proove me that I'm wrong. What I can see here, is that only because you like Iced Earth or Iron Maiden I am retarded in what I say.....This is what I call having no reason in a certan way.
