Framing Armegeddon is huge...epic in proportion to any previous releases...Tim's a part of that.
It could be that there will have to be some changes made in Pyramaze's older material in order to accomodate Matt's vocals. We'll see.
As you stated it is personal preference no doubt about it. And there is also no doubt that Pyramaze's older material will have to be changed because Lance does have a range that I doubt Barlow can touch comfortably from an epic standpoint. All in all, Barlow is awesome, Ripper is awesome (in his own ways), and Lance King is amazing as well. Hopefully I'll like the new Iced Earth stuff a lot better than I did TGB. I guess its just my habit of hearing Iced Earth for years with Barlow and Im still adjusting.
