really? In all honesty, the only times I hear Iced Earth live is when I listen to Alive in Athens. Nowadays, I don't know how they perform live.
 
Say what you will about Iced Earth, but their probably the most sucessfull American Metal band of their generation and genre. And to that end, it's strange to see the lead singer just walk away. However, if it's what makes him happy, more power to him. From my perspective, I was sad to see him depart Iced Earth. I thought he had the best voice in Metal, hands down.

his voice has so much character. I had such high hopes for Glorious Burden, being a civil war buff and all, but the Halford-clone vocals ~ dunno. maybe I need to give it another listen...I am seriously considering getting the "Gettysburg" DVD tho. anyone got that? I think adding visuals will help me enjoy one of my favorite topics.
 
I've heard the Barlow/Stanley comparisons before. I've even heard Barlow address it. He said he wasn't a Kiss fan growing up, and any similarities are probably because they have a similarly shaped nasal cavity. I can't say if that's true or not, but that's what he said. Beyond comparing their tone, comparing their range, power and delivery is just silly. Barlow's a vocal god and Stanley can barely cary a tune.

As for "The Glorious Burden", I think it's excellent. Even being a total Barlow-fanboy, I recognize that Tim's work is stellar, and the job he did on the trilogy is phenomenal.

As for the DVD, it sucks ass. I was so disappointed. It's just still images. The camera pans across one still image, to a second one, and then to a third, with crappy little cannon explosions in the background. They even use the same images over and over, because apparently they didn't have enough of them. I could have made the same DVD with a $300 handheld recorder and a book of civil war images. Total shit. Don't waste your money.

I'll take "Out of the Cold (Into the Fire)" or "Tears Are Falling" over Barlow anyday of the fucking week. :loco:

But I also feel ICED EARTH is one of the MOST OVERRATED bands to ever grace the field of metal.
 
Christy was grabbing Sal the stockbrokers penis on Stern this morning. :erk:

Fair enough.

Hold on, you can't knock Iced Earth for being overrated, and in the same breath extol the virtues of Kiss. Kiss is the most overrated band in the history of music, regardless of genre. No one has ever made more money, with less talent and a bucket of grease paint than those lads.:loco:
