Star Spangled Banner Cpl Matthew Barlow 05-14-10

[Kreimehn]

What a voice! I wish he was still the lead vocalist for Iced Earth.

[MetalPriest74]

Barlow is a beast.

[RandomDude85]

"O'er the land of the FRREEEEEEEEEEYYYAAAAARRRGHH" would've sounded better

[jeffffej01]

@are kidding i would take the ticket just to get his autograph

[prowler725]

I wonder if anyone's ever recognized him after being pulled over and pulled the "huge fan" line to try and weasel his way out of a ticket!

[Offendedbysharia]

Would be awesome if he could sang it with "painkiller" voice :)

[samael1981]

Best male vocalist who ever lived in ANY and EVERY genre known.

[TheAmeader]

@samael1981 i know supprisingly good at non-metal, its nice to hear

[zmuggler]

@samael1981 2nd.pay some respect to Ronald James Padavona.

[Sikraj]

so maybe the guys running the superbowl should hire Mr. Barlow instead of nambie pambie poor me pop singers

[Georgeous129]

i want matt to sing star spangled banner at ground zero this sunday. that would be extremely fitting as a 10 year anniversary of the worst attack of the 21st century

[ezraholmes01]

I wonder how many people there realize the gravity of this situation... XD

[TheAmeader]

@ANTHROPICxOBLITERATR yup =)

[theixxfactor]

matthew, we ' ll miss you! Please John, bring back the ripper!

[skylineXpert]

he looks more like a prison guard, but uniforms a different state to state

[1937qazx]

Beautiful!

[evh5150hawaii]

This man is a true hero.

RESPECT! \m/,

[NightProwlerSerbia]

Best cop ever.

[Supervillain725]

I miss the long hair. Great rendition.

[Sekiath]

So why was christina aguliera at the superbowl?

[GigaRagnaSlave]

This is freaking awesome. Not very often a heavy metal singer like Barlow gets to do the National Anthem before a major sports event. Usually its country, hiphop, or mainstream rock singers. Nascar and Barlow, two great things in one place, those fans got lucky to hear his amazing vocals:)

[DeathCountRises]

I was hangin out with Matt Barlow on the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise last January. I had the honor of having breakfast with him and his wife and I can tell you he is one of the nicest, down to earth guys that Ive ever met. We exchanged stories as I am a police officer myself in NYC. I was sad to hear of his departure from Iced Earth but he has forever made his mark in metal and in my place as one of metal's best singers of all time. For those of you that arent familiar with Matt, listen to 'A Qu

[YukiatsuKun]

@DeathCountRises

A QU WHAT? A QU WHAT?!?!?! TELLL MEEEEEE E T~T

[Peerland]

@YukiatsuKun "A Question of Heaven"

You're welcome ;)

[dezmilad]

and despite of this magnificent performance they still bring Christina Aguilera to ruin the anthem at the superbowl

[gmfiend]

Best version of the national anthem I've ever heard..."I never thought I'd see the day."

[wargized]

he still is a Living Metal God!!!

[ComingCurse86]

That's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

[zorland876]

I hope we see him do this a little more. Hopefully with more practice he'll losen up and be more comfortable with singing in those conditions, ie in uniform, at attention, very serious, etc

[hatalos]

Matthew Barlow is our metal God! He may be in the police right now but i know he is there cause he and his band were underrated and he had to make a living. But he is not cut for this... He is born to sing metal and sweep the floor with his long hair while headbanging! (excuse my bad English)

[XxXxTomArayaxXxX]

He's STILL a Metal God!

[DagonRiseing]

@XxXxTomArayaxXxX very true

[ClauberStipkovic]

Matt Barlow, great singer! No matter what he sings! :)

[DagonRiseing]

i wonder if those people knew he was a metal god?

[wololoadidas]

@DagonRiseing

He's a Metal God, he went back to Iced Earth many time ago, and still kick fucking asses. \m/

[IcedEarth426]

BARLOW!!!

[SilentBodomBeach]

Very cool to see this. Barlow's a top notch vocalist, love his stuff with Iced Earth. Kept expecting him to pull out some high notes, though, but it wouldn't have been very appropriate.

[subsailor688]

A great tribute to Chad, bro. I wish I could have been there. Here's to Chad Spicer; Father, Brother, Friend and Comrade. Rest in Peace my friend.

[ProgMetalLover]

Otherwise known as power metal band Iced Earth's lead singer :)
