[MrThrasher1995]

[Chainstring]

STOP BEING A PUSSY

[garyulyssesking]

I wonder if any "brain washed fools" met Allah at the hands of someone listening to this song.? Let's hope so.....

[TheScaryClownSays]

Jon is a Metal God, and therefore has Divine Infallibility concerning all things Metal. That being said, a mere mortal making the judgement to fire Ripper from Iced Earth would be a faggot-poser- royale with cheese.

[zBlexker]

@HardRocK96G1 no quieremos poser

[Alshtabrann]

This music is used by swordmen when dealing with the dragon hordes....

[thegorn68]

@Alshtabrann LOL! Awesome.

[OneMetaLLica420]

At 3:05 the hair on my arms stood up on end and goosebumbs shot up. AMERICA!

[robertbenson1976]

@HardRocK96G1 No! NO! NNOOOOO!!! Metallica = sold out and sucks for years now

[schaffergallops]

I love Ripper's fighting style dancing figures :)

[laney50w]

[MetalMannyG18]

this song gives me the chills. love it

[Kizak6]

Man, Ripper Owen's is a fucking MONSTER on the microphone.... why the fuck isn't he set in an extremely popular metal band, like, RIGHT now?!?!?!!?

[begur11]

@Kizak6 Iced Earth is not popular?

[Fulgora83]

IF YOU PREFER STEEL PANTHER TO THESE , YOU OBVIOUSLY NEED YOUR EARS CHECKING.

[ericshane30]

IT NEVER DIED IT LIVES IN THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE WHO CAN APPRECIATE REAL MUSIC INSTEAD OF WASHED OUT CORPORATE BRED BULLSHIT WHY DONT YOU GO LISTEN TO SOME BACKSTREET BOYS AND LET US TRUE METAL FANS ENJOY OUR MUSIC AND LIVES

[Fulgora83]

@ericshane30 i second that !!! :)

[jotunmarty]

yeah i can't take this seriously... its 2011 not 1984 this music died out a long time ago for a good reason. i mean i have an open mind but i cant get into this. steel panther have it right. they dont take themselves so seriously like this singer!

[ManTheMeat]

@jotunmarty piss off and listen to steel panther then.

[Fulgora83]

@jotunmarty he takes it seriously because they've been around ALOT longer than shit panther, go away kid.

[neonato1806]

@jotunmarty

Rofl Steel Panther? GTFO dude seriously....

[DeathMetalforever]

I have a lot of songs from the Owens era that sounded much like shitallica. Not saying that they are sellouts, I've actually started watching their videos... mmm that's why I'm here lol. They are an old respected band with a lot of followers. I just can't see myself listening to a 2011 version of Painkiller LOL!!!! jk

[DeathMetalforever]

Is this a new singer?

[EmperorHelix]

@DeathMetalforever You're several years late. Owens is long gone. I miss him though, he was amazing.

[DeathMetalforever]

@EmperorHelix I stopped following Iced earth years ago because they reminded me sooo much of a band I hate (Metallica). I do not like the new singer, he sounds like the Rob and also their music took a different twist.

[EmperorHelix]

@DeathMetalforever Not sure I follow for your second sentence, but I can't see the similarities between Metallica and Iced Earth. Yeah sure IE released Crucible of Man which was below average, but for one thing, IE has never, and will never sell out. They really care about their fans, and I had the honor to have a long chat with Jon twice and hang out with him for a bit when they came to NYC.

And I hate Metallica as much as you do.

[MRec1124]

the guy sounds almost exactly like rob halford on painkiller

[nexspectovos]

@MRec1124 Good call. He was Halford's replacement, after all.

[Skodhippie]

the video is poor and boring,,, but man they kick some fucking ass and take names too!

[MW2Lestat]

good music but i dont wanna see them on stage, its too funny

[gowk7]

Thank god Matt Barlow has returned. Kudos to Owens, but he is not Iced Earth.

[Anarchyffan]

@gowk7 I think barlow sucks balls, fuck off.

[gowk7]

@Anarchyffan Sorry, but I refuse to believe a man shouting out a noise similar to a cat being strangled sounds good. Ignorant fuck.

[DTROXX]

Tim Ow(e)ns!!!

He`s just such an incredible vocalist and it´s a disgrace that there are still so many haters around. Give credit where credit is due!

[laserjik]

looll, i dont know how u can like vocals like that

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

I swear, the first time I heard this band, I thought that James Ronnie Dio was the vocalist.

[Fajzer]

fucking awesome!! love it;]

[nickjfire123]

dont derp on my herp u hurpie

[jeebles1]

"YOU WENT TO FAR THIS TIIIME! FOR THIS HEINOUS CRIIiIiIIiIiIiME!"

[laney50w]

This song fucking rocks!

[sigiF1]

I have to say it... I fucking love iced earth, but what a shitty video for christ fucking sake

[Powermetaldaddy1974]

With Bin Laden dead now...This song has some real meaning to it now.

[AtlasFall]

@Powermetaldaddy1974 "You're just a brainwashed fool"

[SlayerMegadeth86]

Tim "Ripper" Owens and Jon "Riffer" Schaffer.

[hello28syn]

@chriswillingsgay Just like your Mom sucks mine!!! Faggot

[MTDrumz]

im not really a fan of the band but always thought this song was awesome.

[GatesOBabylon]

@ggriffinn1 He's with Yngwie now

[Fraustt]

One of the true great American metal bands

[SlayerMegadeth86]

@Fraustt Unfortunetly, one of the few left!

[MetaI4Brains]

@ggriffinn1

Really? He left again?

[cesaracortez]

they should make a metal slug game look like this, when the guy drops the tank it reminds me of that same tank from the game

[Edazer]

Anyone else want to punch him in the face at 3:13?

Lawl... He's a talented singer, I just really didn't feel like he fit with Iced Earth... I prefer a more baritone voice for Iced Earth... Which is why I feel like Barlow was the best singer for them, haha... Barlow has a ridiculous range...

[br000ly]

thats one kickass bassplayer

[Noseheros]

this is newer iced earth

[MetaI4Brains]

@Noseheros

In new Iced Earth, Barlow is back.

[Noseheros]

@MetaI4Brains crap I meant to write this is the new iron maiden, but was too high

[Noseheros]

this is newer iced earth, barlow is better in my opinion

[scatamalaka]

@Noseheros

Jon Greely and Gene Adams were fucking badass. Matt was getting annoying, IMO, and the Ripper was pretty cool for one album.

[ozzman6988]

@scatamalaka IMO Matt is one of the best vocalist there is

[evantheprophet]

@scatamalaka STFU hipster.

[scatamalaka]

@evantheprophet I like the previous singers, therefore I am a hipster. Good try.

[evantheprophet]

@scatamalaka You liked them before they were cool. Hipster phrase number one.

[scatamalaka]

@evantheprophet

The first song I heard by them was off Burnt Offerings. I thought it was fucking bad ass (it still is). Then I heard their newer stuff. A year or less later, I was listening to their older shit (Night of the Stormrider, etc.) and thought those singers were better. I then heard their "newest" album aaaand wasn't extremely happy about it. Then Framing Armageddon. That was pretty good. Now compare that too the comparison I made.

Now shut the fuck up, you look like an idiot.

[WarLord369]

the new iced earth sux... this was there best line up

[TheVengefulTortoise]

2:45 - 3:16 - He reminds me a bit of King Diamond, as well, actually.

Excellent song! 5/5

[k8kutthroat]

I got to see them on this tour.. and they pretty much were awesome.. them and COB killed it

[pumping2]

Yes in this song Owens sounds like Rob Halford a bit.I think Owens has picked up some style of Halford

[Liberwyvern]

AIR CHUCK NORRIS

[metal4eva16j]

Tim Owens (in the verses) sounds like the singer from metal church...

just sayin..

great song!!

[juanurrego1984]

ist a good song not the same whit the album

[kevgk]

Sick!

[WorldChallenge]

\m/

[Soataaj]

I wanna see live :)

[toolff83]

What an inexpesive music video, all he needed was a damn bulb,

[Forgotenduty]

although i like iced earth this one suckz

[warrior1976dp]

Yes, the song is great, but like most fans, I am of the opinion that Matt Barlow is absolutely the better singer

[agentcamo]

SHAFFER INVENTED LIGHT

[pumping2]

correction:GUEST

[kakarottoalejandro]

yeah !

[Haris54321]

ripper never was the Iced Earth material...

[pumping2]

@Haris54321 yeah you're right! We can say that Tim was a gest in Iced Earth until Matt Barlow came back

[Supernatural790]

fanboys what do you really expect people .... the first 2 albums of Iced Earth were not with Barlow but when it comes to Owens they say ''it's not the original line up'' like they know ... just give lots of respect to both Matt and Tim and shut the fuck up

[nubirski]

Metal in its pure form!!!

[Devariem]

love them tim kills on that one but all in all is barlow the true iced earth singer

[ramm2106]

is the best grup of metal in the history ramm2106

[Hammersmashed68]

how many freakin bands is Owens in?!

[fuckslipknot21]

- how many metalheads does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

- in our case, only one.

[darkest1hourxx]

i like both vocalists equally.....kinda ridiculous to argue over them.

[kossakhoucharmouta]

the great debate for the best singer in the band......

[zedragonlord]

kind of a brutal song and lyrics,the vocal and the guitar are too good....

[ImreXD]

Filmed in shaffer's shed :P

[nubirski]

Tim Owens - absolutely added value to Iced Earth!

[zedragonlord]

matt b. a lá hallford !!!!! kind a brutal song without be a black metal band of shit!!!!

[zedragonlord]

its supperior!!!!! metalll

[Eupatorix]

jon schaffer! Hell yes!

[CravenoConnor]

That's f*cking kick ass! well, it's Iced Earth!

[nikolai082700]

Jesus F***!!! Will you stupid children quit arguing about vocalists. Each vocalist for the band has contributed something good. Bunch of damn bickering pu**ies.

The fact is, this song kills.

[TheNorsca]

@nikolai082700 Totally agree dude each has brought something to the table and served it well, so the bitchy finger pointing is just a waste of time.

[DARKLORDSATAN]

@TheNorsca yeah i agree

[TheNorsca]

@DARKLORDSATAN glad to hear

[HapieHipie]

Tim Owens owns.

[TheMetalProfessor]

Sweet Love the Ripper

[numberbutt]

this song is so fuckin awsome!!! i love the rippers vocals so much ther so insanley fuckin awsome!!! this song rocks!!!

[Timmaycheese]

i can honestly say i love both singers. they sound so much alike, i dont understand what the whole debate is about...

[karrazaki89]

Tim Owens has invented : Air- Boxing!

[ruinawish]

@karrazaki89 Shadowboxing man.

[mp4ever31]

@karrazaki89 LMFAO

[ButSomeone]

@karrazaki89

I think you mean shadow boxing and its already invented.

[AlakimSirrah]

press F5 to skip the stupid fucking adds

[ftrain65]

woot i was number 1000!!

[nubirski]

It was irresponsible to let Tim Owens leave Iced Earth!!!

[scratcher1996]

Iced Earth formed a new genre: "Epic Metal"

[theDjh101]

Boo! Tim Owens! Boo!

[mkicon]

Hey look, it's the drummer and singer from charred walls of the damned,

[nubirski]

THIS IS THE MASTERSPIECE!!!! Tim Owens was the added value to Judas Priest and Iced Earth!!! Real great strong voice!

[nelsonn1981]

Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Iced Earth Today In L.a In House of Blues Sunset Strip ,Hollywood, CA

[theDjh101]

@nelsonn1981 Was epic, wasn't it?

[diabeticmonkey]

Pause at 3:15

[shAde416]

@diabeticmonkey and?

[diabeticmonkey]

@shAde416 I thought ripper looked goofy on that part.

[47smithstreetseries]

Holy shit this is awesome

[Logik426]

what I don't like in IE is allways FLAT sound. I don't like this type of mastering

[xsyntheticxwhorex]

John Schaffer is soooo great at what he does

[Yaatine]

Reminds me of Judas Priests Painkiller

[titanicsearch]

@Yaatine

it does doesnt it?

[666munky6]

this is like judiest preist if they were a thrash band

[Mahasiah666]

I prefer barlow over owens all the way, but this song is just way perfect for owen's voice.

[theripper7675]

i vote for the ripper hahaha

[slayer3222]

lol at the start the singer hiting the air was kinda gay it remembered me the fags who hits some invisible ninjas in the black dahlia murder show i saw

[diabeticmonkey]

@slayer3222 I'm actually surprised that you saw anyone doing that to black dahlia. They're a melodeath band. Maybe it was for an opening band.

[Skimpsnable]

This band has bad-ass artwork

[Ganruut123]

these guys make great music together, i just cant get into the vocal style, and that is very important to me

[Hyarwo]

is it james ou steve on bass?

[MrFreemusicplayer]

ellada =greece..iced earth re!!!!!

[xDARKxMASTERx666x]

anyone else notice he sings more like halford in solo shit then he did when he was with priest? lol

[ninomontana84]

@xDARKxMASTERx666x

yeah why ???

[xDARKxMASTERx666x]

@ninomontana84 i just think its rather weird... i think priest fans would have accepted him better if he sang like this

[AndrewBWorking]

@xDARKxMASTERx666x HE BLOWS HALFORD AWAY!

[pumping2]

@AndrewBWorking Man just slow down,hold on to your horses! Tim is a great singer but DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ROB HALFORD WHO'S A LEGEND!

[slckls1]

@pumping2 correction: Metal God.

[jp11235]

@xDARKxMASTERx666x Yeah, that was also the first thing I noticed when he started singing the verse at "you went...". This is definitely one of the closest he has sounded to Halford.

[shitdick745]

@xDARKxMASTERx666x yeah 

[Vazcular]

@xDARKxMASTERx666x

Ever notice he took over Faglford's place after he left Priest.......

[himoJ]

@xDARKxMASTERx666x YEEEEEEES! I thought that I was the only one!....

[XxXHunteRXxX316]

Damn, Tim was all over the Metal world from like, the mid 90s to the mid 00s. One of the strongest vocalists in metal today

[LeslieElite90]

Richard Christy on drums FTW.

[DoomMessiah]

Oh man.....how shitty is this?? Serious.... "Ripper" Owens is unbelievable shitty!! Listen to old Iced Earth and keep the fucking shut up!

[theicemancometh012]

to anyone wanting to learn guitar study iced earth. Jon is an amazing guitarist. thats how i learned my friends cant believe im playing this fast. ICED EARTH RULES!!! \m/

[GlamorousDarkness]

I am new to Iced Earth but I really like the music!

[superman12211331]

One of the best vocalists on the planet

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Killer video. Hail Iced Earth.

[Tori965]

The song is great, but vocals are crap.

[DAblackdahliamurder]

Let's examine the facts? Between Ripper and Barlow, who is ALWAYS billed as EX-Judas Priest, EX-Winters Bane, EX-Iced Earth, EX-Beyond Fear, and soon to be EX-Charred Walls of the Damned vocalist? Ripper. Who left & came back to IE and didn't miss a step? Barlow. If Barlow sang for Charred Walls, it would be to their advantage.

[DeathmTaxes]

@LPH69 Burnt Offerings was Barlowes first album. Schaffer was done after Iced Earth's 2nd album.

[LPH69]

Jon's tone used to be so much more ferocious. it was best on Burnt Offerings, i felt the evil.

[Crackmonkey213]

yep then its the excessive use of acid!

[Crackmonkey213]

I love this video and band, but is Tim on LSD? or just enjoying beating the shit outta the air?

[lycox]

@Crackmonkey213 Lol. From what I noticed. I think he just likes to do that. I know he was doing it on the 25th RoadRunner Records anniversary dvd.

[juanarkantos]

Well that was shocking! FUCKING GREAT!

[monkee11]

if only great music could save our Republic! GOD HELP US!

[killershi]

kinda sounds like judas priest

[WherewolveKing]

who fucking cares who is better. They are both great and leave it at that. fucking children.
