What's next for Iced Earth?

[Edgecrusher]

What will the next album theme be?

I think they should do Lord Of The Rings. They could do a power ballad "When the Smeagol Cries".

i dont care what they do for the next album, as long as ripper owens is around it will SUCK.

BRING BACK BARLOW!!!

 

[AsModEe]

As long as Schaffer is around it will suck... can someone teach this guy originality? Glorious Burden was the worst album I ever heard... I miss the good old Stormrider days...

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

Hopefully they make a good album that utilizes Ripper's vocals. I don't see that happening.

I won't tell you that you give bad reasons to dislike the new album, but what really hurt ( IMO ) this album is Schaffer's inability to write original riffing and the fact that he has always used the same song patter since the last 4 albums ( verse-chorus-verse-chorus-short, really short solo-chorus-chorus )

 

[no country for old wainds]

Wow, they're still going? I figured that all remaining fans of Iced Earth would've died of AIDS by now.

 

[polarity]

Oh my, GoD you sure are hilarious, your originality in coming up with methods of accusing a band's fanbase of homosexuality never ceases to amaze me!

oh wai

p.s. Iced Earth suck :]

 

[no country for old wainds]

I wasn't trying to be original, I was trying to turn the thread into a flame war.

 

[porn_store_stiffi]

i believe that would be my duty....

oh yeah, iced earth are GAY

 

[Donnie Darko]

I guess Im the minority in thinking that Ripper is a great singer, works well in the band and that Glorious Burden is one of the best albums released so far this year

 

[CF87]

Not sure, maybe more homosexuality which is set so high by the band I am surprised they could surpase it. I bet the band and some fans will be having an orgy on the cover and the booklet can be the sex files with each song a chapter.

 

[perfecterror]

i didnt like the album, but when i saw them live it was great. (but hated "when the eagle cries" blah)
i had no idea how the old stuff would sound with ripper, but i liked it...
however, ripper is no barlow.

you guys are all bashing Ripper, but after hearing him and Iced Earth live.. I thought it was amazing. He really seems like he can fit right in with the band extremely well, just give it a chance. He did a lot of the old stuff very well.. except for Melancholy.. thats just a song that I think only Barlow can perform the hell out of. Still it was an incredible show, and Ripper really is a great singer.

I love TGB. At first I thought it sucked, but it grew on me. Ripper is awesome, too. He fits perfectly with TGB.
