So Barlows back in Iced Earth

That one came pretty much out of the blue right now. So much for Schaffer's words about Tim being the perfect singer for Iced Earth and that everything couldn't be better.
 
I wonder how that awkward conversation went.

"Ok, Tim thanks for helping us out, thanks for makin the trip. Ba bye. ...What you're still here? We're serious as a Priest, now get the fuck out!"
 
I almost feel sorry for Owens, considering he always ends up having to face the comment "your OK, but I'd much rather hear Halford/Barlow".

Wonder where he's gonna go next.
 
Matt Barlow and Iced Earth got me into what I now consider "real metal"...before that it was classic rock, Metallica, and the like. I'm naturally happy for this development, and my Jon and Matt fuck much of each other's asses LOL.

Mm. I was thinking the same thing. He was always being ecstatic with Owens, and saying that Barlow didn't have the enthusiasm anymore - and now suddenly Barlow's got his appetite back, and Tim isn't the dream singer anymore? Pretty feeble from Schaffer. Shame for Tim Owens, has to walk the plank yet again because a previous singer decides he wasn't comfortable with leaving after all. I love Matt Barlow's vocals, but this is a shyte move by Schaffer.
