Matt Barlow and Pyramaze

[DoomsdayZach]

I'm sure just about everyone here creamed their pants at this news, either from being Pyramaze fanboi's or Barlow fanboi's, but i really don't find this news so exciting. I love barlow, wanted to see him back, but this poster i found pretty much sums up my feelings:

I mean, honestly, i haven't overly enjoyed anything i've heard from this band. it's not that they're the worst band in the world, because of course Kaledon has that honor. i'm just saying, couldn't barlow have had better taste?

Edit: Oh, and i'm not so impressed with barlow's "Gay Neo" look.

Well I mean, Barlow really was a good fit for Iced Earth, and his voice is really synonymous with Iced Earth. Honestly, it's more the fact that he decided to no longer pursue his career in homeland security/being a cop and return to music and instead of returning to Iced Earth he joins a C-list mediocre group like Pyramaze.

Shit I remember I was listening to that shit during a photo shoot and before falling asleep quickly asked for Mystic Prophecy to be put on instead.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Jeremy, mystic prophecy sucks too. Maybe that was the point though...

 

[Jeremy Krull]

well it was better than Pyramaze.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

So is the oprah show. What's your point?

 

[Jeremy Krull]

jesus, all I'm saying is that Mystic Prophecy was what was offered to be put on instead during the fucking photo shoot.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

And all i'm saying is i'd rather listen to a retarded dolphin screech or whatever they do than listen to pyramaze.

Actually... retarded dolphins would be fun to watch.

I think Pyramaze sound generic, but that is mostly cause of the singer imo, it's evident that they got talent. Barlow isn't my favorite vocalist or anything but he is better than loads of other power metal vocalists...there's something about this combination that just thrills me.

I downloaded 6 songs off the bands official website because Barlow is one of my favourite metal singers and I was curious about the band's sound. I must say I was bored with a lot of their material and that doesn't usually happen to me with prog/power bands, they aren't bad musicians or a bad band, its just... bland. I did actually really enjoy one song called 'What Lies beyond' its a very catchy song.

My complaint about Mattjoining this band is well... the band have no balls. They are melodic and fast and technically good but I think Matts voice was perfectly complemented by Jon Schaffers meaty guitar riffs, I can't really see Matt fitting this style of music, he needs to be more in a straight metal band then a prog/power band IMO. But then again who knows until we hear him sing for them, I'll check it out anyway because Matt kicks arse and its great that he is back in metal again.

I agree with what you said about all of that. Barlow IS balls. But in this case, something is definitely better than nothing.

In other words, Barlow w/Pyramaze > Barlow with nobody.

Oh and to whoever said it, I think Barlow still IS a cop. I don't think this is a full-time thing with him.

 

[ThornsOfSorrow]

I actually like Pyramaze. They may be somewhat generic, but the songs are catchy and enjoyable to listen to. I was really surprised to find out that Barlow was the new singer, but I'm excited to see how it will turn out. It should be interesting to say the least...

the guy right of him looks more gay tbh

 

[DoomsdayZach]

The rest of the band looks more gay than him. Still, nothing will ever get more badass than iced earth Barlow.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

I heard a few Pyramaze songs and I thought they were a little above average. Perhaps they'll grow on me. Have they released anything with Barlow yet?

 

[Iced Dog]

Being a fan of both Iced Earth/Barlow and Pyramaze, I think the combo is amazing, and a tad surreal.

 

[SilentRealm]

havent heard pyramaze, i liked his voice in iced earth tho.. maybe he will add something to the band.. who knows..

Perfect music for a Gay Times photo shoot i'd have thought

 

[Jeremy Krull]

which is largely the reason we turned it off, that and I was falling asleep.

 

[†Russel Allen†®]

So, I guess I'm one of the only fuckers out there that actually enjoyed Pyramaze, and thinks that Mr. Barlow fits perfectly on their musical intentions.

*killing myself*

That said, I believe this topic is completely pointless. Specially about this:

[Jeremy Krull]

I'm sure if he had made the thread about how great Pyramaze was and that Barlow was joining, you wouldn't have said that.
