Now that's a dedicated Iced Earth fan.

I believe he was their webhost for a while.

He's more than a fan IIRC.

Ooh, sounds dirty! But yeah, I ran Iced Earth's website from when it came online in 1997, until 2007 or so. So yeah, I've got 23 Iced Earth shows under my belt.

But still, I probably would have gone to most of those late-90s shows anyway (ok, probably not the ones in Athens!) Note that I also went to 3 Nevermore/Arch Enemy shows, and two Dimmu Borgir/Samael shows. So what's truly remarkable is how those bands toured Chicago in those days, essentially playing two- or three-night stands at different clubs around the area. A situation completely unimaginable today.

Of course Iced Earth was the craziest of those bands, playing 8 times in the Chicago area in 9 months! And these guys complain about Blackguard being overexposed!

Come on man..............
Iced Earth is one of the top 10 reasons many people returned to underground metal here in the States. You of all people know this.....

I know you were just poking fun, but you simply can not compare IE to BlackGuard.

IE in that era were simply godly.
