or ripper.uke:

Can't blame the horrible suckiness of Glorious Burden on Ripper. No way.

Gettysburg Trilogy = Brilliant

period.

the gettysburg trilogy is the best thing schaffer has ever done.

Yeah Ripper is a completely competent singer. Its not his fault schaefer writes shitty music.

 

[AsModEe]

The thing that annoyed me with TGB is that the music was too... non-aggressive? If Schaffer is about to write about his glorious Something Wicked stuff, he better starts writing something "hostile" again.

I just can't stand his voice.

 

[NeverEarth X]

Im a huge Iced Earth fan so i of course loved TGB plus i been a Ripper fan since his days in Preist and his new band kicks as as well.

As for Shaffer being a dick, I never actaully met him but even if its true i still like them.

Im not one of theese people who has to meet my fav bands, whats the word "starstruck"

one way or another, one day Barlow has to come back. imo Barlow has more raw emotion than Ripper in his vox

Is that a given then? I was a huge IE fan but TGB made me wish I was a hedgehog who was being run over by a truck driven by Paris Hilton.

Ripper just gets stuck with shitty songs while following really, really good vocalists.

Exactly. I felt the same thing about Blaze Bayley: good vocalist, thankless job.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Well, Ripper's a pretty mediocre vocalist anyway.

I wouldn't say that. He's a very good vocalist, if a bit limited sometimes.

^^ same here

he's talented, but he lacks something. Emotion, maybe?

I did truley like it. I dont know i didnt find anything rocked with it, I probly listen to TGB more then some other Iced Earth CD's. I guess thats what makes me a true fan, I do love all there stuff as well as Nevermore's

 

[deathstrike from hell]

i think ripper has a great voice, but he's always destined to be a second rate singer. he walks into bands that have gods as singers.

beyond fear is still my favorite tim owens project though

 

[Calamitas1786]

Ripper is basically Rob Halford "lite."

So blindly accepting everything makes you a true fan, while being critical and having an opinion doesn't?

OK,I think some people are taking what i say the wrong way, i was jsut trying to voice my opinion about how i felt about TGB I didntt mean to say i was a true fan just because i like TGB and everybody else who didnt like it wasnt. If you didnt like it thats fine i jsut happend to like it. Im sorry if it came out otherwise.

He definitely doesn't connect with me emotionally like Barlow did. He was a pretty good live singer, though, so...
