It's pretty old news but I still have some residual energy left from my heavy metal shit fit I through when I first heard so I'm still excited. Now we just need Jon Schaffer to write some cool material for him.

He was growing on me. And I thought he was getting better with framing armageddon, i was looking forward to future albums with him. o well Barlow will probly be better

Tim Owens got too much shit from people. He nailed every single one of Barlow's songs live when I saw IE.
They definitely stepped it up a few notches on FA in terms of getting Schaffer's writing to gel better with Owens' style (I guess since it was the first album initially written with him in mind), which kinda makes it even more awkward to switch singers for part 2 of the story---even if I do prefer Barlow. But I'll reserve judgment for when I hear it.

I detest all the Ripper albums. Never really got into much of Iced Earth's back catalogue with Barlow, but I'm interested to hear where their sound goes now.

kew eff tee.
An excellent vocalist, just can't live up to the reputation of Barlow.

He's a great vocalist, but he came at the wrong time, when Schaffer thought it would be a good idea to fuck the band's sound up.
There's been literally 5-6 threads on the matter, strealed all through UM. But we'll let you off, since this news is still awesome. 
I just hope they rerecord Framing Armageddon with Barlow's vocals. I haven't heard it, but I've heard Glorious Burden, and Ripper simply does not work with the band's sound, IMO.

Really though, what DO cops know about metal? Not much I bet.
Funny how Shaft-er waited til his big money festivals were done with Tim, before shitting in his ear and getting Paul Stanley-ah back.

I am not excited about Iced Earth anymore, but if they come through my area I would be thrilled to see Matt sing again.
