Iced Earth

This is a very bad April fools prank :(


Crap. I -love- Bralow, he may be my second favorite vocalist.
What I'm sure of is that I'll give whatever he does next a listen. As for Iced Earth, I'm not sure.
 
So who's gonna be the next singer? My money is on John Bush, because Annette Olzon isn't American.
 
I wonder how the Singer Membership Test goes.

1. Are you from God's Own Country, The United States of America, Protected by Jesus Christ and God Forever or from Somewhere in Satanland (ie, the rest of the world or Massachusetts)?

2. Do you believe the fiction that 9/11 was perpetrated by Osama Bin Laden, or do you accept the truth that 9/11 was an Inside Job?

3. Which of these Birth Certificates are real:

4. Ron Paul Ron Paul ronpaulronpaulronpaul?
 
Hahahahahahahahaha :)

But really, I don't know who could replace Barlow except Ripper. This lineup was probably the longest running Iced Earth lineup ever - almost 3 years.

Colour me surprised.

It's time for Jon to pack it in. Iced Earth has been a great band; he fucked up royally when he treated both Matt and Tim like dirt.

I hate to say it, but I have to agree with you. :( I hope Sonisphere books them so I can see Iced Earth play with Matt Barlow before he leaves again.

Yeah, I'm familiar with them. Not a big fan.

Matt Barlow sings with them. This is the only album he did outside of Iced Earth. So I'd cherish that if you are a huge fan of the man's voice. I wouldn't count on any other stuff.

Yuck.

I prefer this guys, sorry:

Oh man this band was so f**king good. They did not only singlehandedly dwarve everything that Metallica and Megadeth did, but they also made the entire trash scene uninteresting and their music changed all other metal acts, that emerged from the USA, into inferior, rusty puppets.
 
wait, what? They were good, but they made the genre uninteresting and all other american acts worse?
 
What are you guys so "disgusted" by? I don't get it. Because he no longer has long hair? Because he's a cop or whatever law enformcent? Because it is at a NASCAR race? He sang well... better than MANY pop artists (I'm looking at you Christina) at much larger events...
 
I can't help but think that they wouldn't be as disgusted if Barlow would be singing their respective national anthems.

Funny, I actually had posted such a smily, but decided to remove it because I knew it could annoy some Americans/(lovers). ;)

I would be. Because I think one shouldn't sing an anthem for every organized fart.

Well, that is seen differently in America. The anthem is sung at every sporting event, and every morning at school. I don't think it should be that way, but I respect it.

Pretty much true.  They even sang it opening day at Little League this weekend, though not sure that'll continue throughout the season.  We also sing "O Canada" before games involving Canadian pro teams.

Not true.  Though the Pledge of Allegiance is common, or at least it was when I was in school. 

Personally, I like the playing of the national anthem before sporting events.  It's a good tradition, and a little positive-minded patriotism never hurt anyone.  Though I also think that America the Beautiful or God Bless America would make much better national anthems.  The Star Spangled Banner is virtually impossible for the average person to sing well.  By the way, I thought Barlow's rendition was pretty good: straightforward and respectful, though it could have been a little crisper.
