Tim "Ripper" Owens brought something to the band that caught my ears....that's a fuckin' true METAL voice. No disrespect to the former lead vocalist, but Tim's vocals demands your listen when you hear it. He bridged the gap when Metal was beginning to rise again. Give the man his respect.
El maestro Ripper en toda su dimension... una lastima que Iced Earth lo haya desechado tan facil... Matt Barlow es un maestro pero tambien el Ripper...
@Awesomermac Yes he can. Just not in the same way. All singers are different. The fact that they managed to find two singers that are like vocally enough for things to work out like it did is amazing in itself. Ripper can't hit the low notes that Barlow can either. They basically are different people, singers, and use different techniques for their own voices.
@Awesomermac Barlow can go pretty high, but Owens' voice is naturally higher. They're both excellent singers suited to their own songs; Barlow can't sing Owens' songs as well as Owens, and vice versa.

That's the Ripper, Mat doesn't make hand gestures like that while singing. Also, thats Tims hair color Matt is a ginger.
