The new ICED EARTH bassist is...

[The Fiddler]

Freddie Vidales from Phoenix, Arizona. And Freddie also plays rhythm guitar, lead guitar and drums in addition to the bass!!

I was waiting to see Jose in the picture with him.

Why did John fire Dennis?
He is an amazing player and has great stage presence.

 

[Jasonic]

Dennis came on board because of Ripper. When Ripper was axed, Dennis was informed his services were no longer needed. This is how I understand it.

Well, I guess maybe John thought that if he axed Ripper, but kept Dennis, it would ruin that relationship.

I guess Iced Earth has always operated this way.

I think their touring lineup normally differs from those who actually recorded on the disc.

This is one of the reasons I cant take Iced Earth that serious as a band. It is more like the Jon Schaffer Project. Again....one of the most over rated bands in metal today.

As much as I love this band, I do have to agree with your statement to a degree.

Just imagine how amazing they would be if they had a solid recording and then touring lineup that stuck together for more than one album!

 

[EtherealForest]

Is this the video he submitted that got him the spot?

 

[Vegetaman]

I thoroughly enjoyed that video, at any rate.

When you start writing and recording, then I will be on YOUR side!!!

Ok, I need to lay off.......
You are in college so once a week is satisfactory.

 

[Saladbar]

This is fair.

in shaffers defense. alot of bands that have been around as long as they have rarely keep the same or consistant lineup.
Randal Shawver was always a contributer and played live with the band untill Something Wicked.
Right now the most consistant members right now are Smedley and Barlow. Having 3 out of 5 isn't that bad.

Heres a list of several noted bands who constantly change(d) their lineups and/or have only 1 original member.

Megadeth
WASP
Testament pre reunion
Exodus
Helloween
GNR
Savatage

i can go on and on.

about them being overrated, i can't think of them that way cause whenever i ask some1 if they like em the say "who?"

 

[Jasonic]

Helloween

Michael Weikath and Markus Grosskopf disagree with you.....

 

[The Wicked One]

but theyve had several changes, when it comes to other players.
theyve changed singers 3 times, had what 5 different drummers at least.

and remember right after the Dark Ride?
im not saying they were dicks or anything but changes in lineups happen alot.
Helloween is a band that had a unity. that was friendly rather than drunk, drug, or bitch fights

oh i can add Tad Morose into this as well. Krunt is the only original member right now right? oh well, as long as the ppl who stepped in are good i don't mind.
thats all i was saying.
