Awesome!

I was shocked that he got that last note.

Sounds good, but to my ears that pretty much how he always sounds.

Way cool. Go Owens! He even nails that patented King Diamond "spooky laugh"

I remember hearing that Ripper sang Annihilator's "Alice in Hell" at that Roadrunner United concert too... is there a clip of that one out there somewhere? I'd love to hear that.

I do as well. Too bad the guy seems like he can't find a steady job. He sounded great in Iced Earth.

Maybe his lack of stage carisma has something to do with it?
As a frontman he`s totally useless IMO....

Frontman? I thought your greatest concern was whether or not a man is a bottom or a top, Olaf. Laughing

(I kid because I care)

I agree Olaf. Not a very good front man, just an excellent voice.

Another guy who is a virtual King D clone is Nils K. Rue of Pagan's Mind. If KD ever quits Mercyful Fate or his solo project, Nils can step right in without missing a beat!

There you go Freddy. You know, I think Tim would be a good fit for Annihilator. If Jeff stepped up his song-writing a bit and hired Tim, Annihilator may be a properly enjoyable band again. Tim is a bit of an awkward frontman though.

No kidding, he looks like he just stepped out of the audience with his basball cap and all. He is awesome as studio musician though.

Tim should form a super group with Jeff Waters, Dave Ellefson, and Gene Hoglan.

Niiiiiice!

Yea, he'd be a good vocal fit for Annihilator (and it would continue Tim's tradition of joining bands with tyrannical/control freak guitarist overlords, following his stints with Iced Earth and Yngwie Malmsteen... haha) ... better than the tone deaf doofus Waters has on board right now for sure!

That is way he dressed when I saw him with Yngwie, of course Yngwie may have encouraged this, we all know how Malmsteen hates to share the spotlight.

Maybe he needs more shadow boxing moves? Razz

Great vocalist, but yea, ditch the ball cap and baggy pants. You playing a metal concert or a frat house?
