Iced Earth

[LooseCannon]

If someone is a friend and the friend does something despicable, it takes time to reckon with that. I'm not upset at Hansi for waiting a few weeks to say something.

 

[Mosh]

I’m more upset that Maiden hasn’t said anything. Unacceptable.

I am waiting for Corey Taylor to weigh in

 

[GhostofCain]

Bad company

Not “‘Til the day I die” in this case.

 

[Night Prowler]

 

[Mosh]

Maybe this leads to Barlow returning

 

[Diesel 11]

If there’s one good thing to come out of this situation it’s that the re-recording old albums thing is likely not on the table anymore.

One can only hope. Maybe this can be the reverse 9/11 for Iced Earth's future.

I don’t think Barlow is willing to take that much heat to rejoin a band he didn’t want to be in anyway. Could also hurt his police career.

I thought Jon and Matt disagreed politically? I'd say not a chance.

 

[Night Prowler]

Jake Dreyer is out too.

Matt never talked about that. He didn't even release a statement on Jon storming the Capitol.

they dropped down one by one

Smart move. He’s no longer part of the band and has nothing to prove.

 

[Night Prowler]

He's a part of Schaffer / Barlow Project.

 

[Mosh]

In all seriousness, these guys are making the right decision. Even if I were an avid Trump supporter, I would want to jump off the Iced Earth train just for the sake of my career. Barlow could very well be a Republican, but he also probably knows better (not to mention he is also a cop).

Schaffer may have ruined his career over this, but he probably won't have any trouble putting together a new Iced Earth. Just don't expect it to include any high profile Metal musicians who have reputations that could be ruined over it.

Is Brent Smedley the last holdout?

 

[Night Prowler]

Is Brent Smedley the last holdout?

Yep. He still has "Iced Earth drummer" in his FB bio.

 

[Diesel 11]

Riiiiiiiight. Forgot about that.

 

[chaosapiant]

Yep. He still has "Iced Earth drummer" in his FB bio.

I wonder how long that’ll last. Also, isn’t Matt and Jon related somehow? Like brother in laws or something? I thought i remembered Matt marrying Jon’s sister?

Yep, that’s true.
