That's about an old video. Totally different.

C'mon Eyesore, stop editing your posts, or else I might have to come and :kickbutt:

See how you suckered all the people in here to think you're giving your love to IE, when that wasn't your intention? You're real slick.

I don't know what you're talking about. I was just professing my beefy man-love for all things Schaffer. Nothing wrong with that.

Eyesore, I always new it, you're :defleppard:

Have I denied it? I might be a metal warrior, but I wield the Mighty Pork Sword of Pain.

I actually like Framing Armaggedon. Sure, there's a lot of story line stuff and interludes, but it makes it epic. There's still some quality metal in there.

What are they ruling exactly?

They are good. Not my favourite Power band, but I think they are ok!...

Your face.

I was afraid of this. I am getting into Iced Earth as I type this. The first IE I heard was with Ripper singing. Now I am hearing Barlow on the Alive in Athens DVD and I wonder why he is "the voice" of the band. I think Ripper is better as of now. Maybe as I delve a little deeper I'll like Barlow better, but now he sounds a little middle of the road and average to me.

Check out Barlow's first I.E. album, BURNT OFFERINGS (1995) -- by far their heaviest, nastiest recording. Jon Schaffer (I.E. guitarist/tyrannical overlord) has gone on record as saying he hates that album nowadays for some odd reason but I think it's one of their best.

I got Burnt Offerings from MG about a year ago and traded it within a week. I don't care much for that one. But I like the first 2 with the other vocalist(s).

You didn't dig BURNT huh? That's one of my fave IE's. Diff'rent strokes I guess. But yea, NIGHT OF THE STORMRIDER is a great one. The first album, I can take or leave. The music's great but the singer sounds like David Wayne with a severe head cold.
