The Power metal thread

I'm sure a lot of Iced Earth fans are happy.

Gives me a good reason to go buy Barlow-era IE (finally)

GOGOGOGOGOGO!

Well, I have the majority of it on CD-Rs, so it's not like I'm missing anything. I've just been meaning to buy the entire discography and this is a good reason to do it.

I will investigate this weekend when I get back from Cleveland/Columbus

At first I thought you didn't listen to the Barlow era. Well anyways this is probably the best news of today (to me at least).

I do, but I just don't 'own' any of the CDs.

Greatest News this year and there will be a Tour probably in 2008

Poor Tim Owens.

Poor Tim Owens.

He already has a band Beyond Fear plus he could always go back to Winter's Bane

 

[Mort Divine]

Haha, Barlow. Haha, fuck him. He is easily one of the top 5 most overrated vocalists in all of metal. Owens is so fucking superior in every aspect.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Both of them suck, as does Iced Earth.

I listened to Balflare recently, pretty good Japanese power metal. Really heavy on keys/synths, though.

 

[mutantllama]

I personally like Greely's vocals more. But that's just me.

Owens is a mediocre halford clone, the vocalist from 3 inches of blood is way superior than owens

 

[Mort Divine]

Owens is in no way a Halford clone. His work in Winter's Bane proves this. He may be able to sing like Halford but that doesn't make him a clone.

nah he just was in a judas priest tribute band

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

His work in a tribute band in no way makes him a Halford clone.

yea but Barlow doesn't suck, just because Owens didn't fit in Iced Earth. Owens was for Iced Earth and Judas Priest, as Blaze Bailey was for Iron maiden

 

[Mort Divine]

Owens fit Iced Earth perfectly - the band just happened to be writing shitty music at the time (and had been for years.)

 

[The Ozzman]

Blaze Bayley did a decent job considering the shoes he had to fill

 

[Hypnos]

^^thats true

Owens is a fine singer, but he doesnt fit Iced Earth at all. i just can't stand his vocals there. Barlow might be overrated, he's a much better choice for Iced Earth than Owens though
