This is getting real sad.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

my thought is, what do you expect as cover for a single about the revolutionary war... a basketful of puppies?

 

[Iced In Flames]

How about anything except something that looks exactly like The Trooper?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Point taken... but! Set is a time-travelling antichrist, so who isn't to say that he really wasn't involved in the revolutionary war...

 

[Iced In Flames]

Eddie. Eddie fought the devil. That would make him more powerful than a mere Antichrist. Eddie time travels as well. ANNNNND came back from the dead and was reborn.

 

[Rottuated]

Uhh. I think Jon can come up with something better than that.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Iced Earth does seem like a Maiden copy image-wise sometimes,but I don't see anything wrong with that....I'd be more concerned about the revolving door situation with the band members.
The cover is cool to me,as I said in the other thread already,and of course I just need to get my point through by posting my opinion in any other related thread. And I'm criticising (how the hell is that spelled?) myself.
I'd pick The Reckoning cover over The Trooper one.
Also,Iced In Flames,you make it seem like Set and Eddie are having a supervillain deathmatch here.

 

[Schraiber]

Wait, what the hell is The Reckoning? Is it a single from The Glorious Burden or something?

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

You got it.

Oh look he also ripped off the snake that is on the flag from Metallica's black album.
Who gives a fuck???

Actually, Metallica ripped it off of American history.

The point I'm getting at is Jon is becoming quite uninventive anymore. The music on the three soundclips are rehashed Iced Earth. Reckoning starts like Damien and I hear a part from Diary in there. People have been saying for awhile that IE is jsut riffs redone and now I am starting to hear it. So now Set is Eddie, they have Judas Priests singer. Now how else can he make him look like another band? Gonna use a guitar that looks like an axe?

 

[Sympozium]

I agree strongly about Shaffer's riffs. He recycles his own riffs the most.

 

[Dreamer Deceiver]

Actually, Metallica ripped it off of American history.

 

[Staffan]

They better let go of set before it reaches newer heights of cheese

 

[Iced In Flames]

Set is cool. But now they have turned him into Eddie.
If keeping to Something Wicked and AiA I would love to see more art of Set.

 

[Ayreonaut]

Damn Stinky linky... or at least i can't open it...

Btw how are you doing iced, haven't seen you around in a long time. Beldaran says hi

 

[Iced In Flames]

And who might you be?
I forgot how to spell what I THINK your name is.. Kwisatz?

 

[PlatypusJesus]

"Actually, Metallica ripped it off of American history."

Exactly. One of the first concepts for the American flag was the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, and guess what symbol it had on it: THE SAME FUCKING ONE ON THE FUCKING FLAG ON THE FUCKING COVER. And also, guess which came first, Metallica or the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. Now, I'm not going to give the answer away, but if you think it is the former.........THEN YOU ARE FUCKING WRONG!

Yes i used to be the Kwisatz Haderach on the maiden BB... but when i registered here, that name wouldn't fit....
