Thrash Hits TV: Matt Barlow from Iced Earth @ Bloodstock Open Air 2009

[assafmetal]

He will return it's just a matter of time maybe not in IE but I am sure he will return to the metal scene.

[RidirichdFlann]

I am proud to say, I am from the same hometown as Matt Barlow - Biloxi, Mississippi \m/

[sparrerbyrd]

WTB HIS FLOWING MAGNIFICENT HAIR BACK D:< I wanted to make a nest in it and just sleep there and feel safe D: IT WAS GLORIOUS!

[whatthefluk]

Matts a fucking Metal God. Up there with Halford, Dio, Dickinson and Eric Adams!

[hacksack1]

two of the most porlific musician's of are time

[rikimaru517]

COME TO AUSTRALIA ICED EARTH!!!!!!! I WILL BE THERE FRONT ROW, CENTRE! and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SIGN MY GUITAR!!!

you guys made me wanna be a musician, my dedication is to iced earth!

[sk8nguitar4evr]

Barlow is iced earth. Stu could be an amazing singer, just not in iced earth. This was Barlow was made for. Unfortunately stu block will inevitably ruin my favorite band of 7 yrs for the sole reason that he is not Barlow.

[SophieValentineBlack]

And now he leaves again!!!

[Sodhats]

Iced Earth had gone downhill on the last few albums. Matt was wasted on them. He was literally the only good thing about their last album.

[SyluxLockjaw]

Ha, kind of funny looking at that second highest comment.

I am going to miss Barlow so much. I don't like Into Eternity very much, but Stu has very high potential as Iced Earth's vocalist.

[Niki56541]

I liked his hair...He was so SEXy and HOT with the long hair!!!!!!!

[xsyntheticxwhorex]

I hope Barlow arrests me :D

[72dew]

i dont see why IE cant accept two vocalists.

[ilikenoodles1]

@72dew Hey... now that's not a bad idea... I mean everybody loves the duets... You may be on to something.

[vejitasam]

i love youuuuuuuuuu

x.x

[Jesslyngirl87]

his hair was sooo amazing..:(

[Rogos1]

"you know" ;D

[dstncowles]

ripper trys to hard to be halford vocally barlow is his own man and no ripper iced arth album can compare to dark saga well i take that back rippers best song to me is gettysburg - hold at all costs

[Nevermore8891]

WHAT HAPPEND WITH HIS HAIR..???...

[GiantPotato]

@Nevermore8891 He probably had to cut it off when he got into the whole law enforcement thing.

[TheAmeader]

@GiantPotato That would be correct

[Wyrehedd242]

@Nevermore8891 matt is a police officer in delaware... georgetown PD. hes a good guy :)

[jeffscottjeff]

@Wyrehedd242

They must have hired him for the interrogation room. Imagine that voice screaming at you in a small room. Dude's got a flawless record for confessions I'm sure.

[iloudioum]

at the last words he say at the end every time *u know* :) check it...love matt's voice!

[JavodeOz]

hes a great singer, but reminds me a LOT of early Candlemass's Messiah MArcolin

[raykanobi85]

hey he's wearing a priest shirt!! hell yeah long live the priest!!! and iced earth.

[BoTTeNBR]

Matt Barlow is godlike! He and Bruce Dickinson are the best metal vocalists ever!

[gaseabra]

Please, let's not exagerate based on our personal opinions.

[wickedss99]

Personal opinion is all that matters when talking best band or anything of the like cuz it can't be quantified. It will always be matter of opinion. So for him, it was probably no exaggeration.

[ndscrub]

hell i rahter them went on tour wiht no singer if matt coudent go on the band just awsome instrumental work is fantastic

[DioandMaiden]

They are on the same level but Matt is better in my opinion. Tim is great too though.

[Hitman116]

Barlow is a god of heavy metal vocals. The Ripper gets alot of shit from Priest and Iced Earth fans. People hes great. Go pick up Yngwie Malmsteen's Prepetual Flame. He is amazing on that. His new solo album isn't bad either. Oh and Beyond Fear is awesome too.

[le12345858]

fuck u ass hole, like u could do any better,

[ndscrub]

LOL no like truth that ripper cant cover iced earth song for nothing MAtt barlow is Iced earth so far best singer for the band

[symonwill]

Comparing Owens and Barlow is like comparing apples and oranges. They're both great, but they're also both very very different.

[linkinfanatic]

he's looking old

[burgy8]

i met barlow shortly after this interview and mentioned pyramaze to him i said the new album rocked he didnt look happy i think he hates me

[metaldave08096]

Why would he do that?

[burgy8]

john schaffer was sat next to him lol

[Oraite]

Mr. Madruga from Chavo del ocho.

[LAYUCHEBI]

im glad matt is back in a band ,and that other noob is gone i never liked him. only thing with matt is i wish he had a long hair like old days...... matt is a legend....

[2handed]

if by the other "noob" you mean Ripper you are gravely mistaken. granted he's no Barlow but he is an amazing vocalist in his own right. and the reason barlow shaved his head is because while he was abscent from the band he became a police officer

[SalamiSampson]

amen, i love everything iced earths done, im a barlow man, but gettysberg, in my opinion, is the greatest peice of music ever written

[gio31brasil]

leave the band to become a police officer...lol...what a shame!!

[xXxSynnysterxXx]

...ripper is great in his own right.

and who says noob??

[TrollFredrik]

I saw Iced Earth with Ripper in 2007, I think, and DAMN it rocked! But I still wish I would've seen them with Matt.

[burgy8]

bull shit ripper and barlow are on the same level

[LAYUCHEBI]

maby to you, but not to me dude. barlow is legend and top 5 vocalist in my opinion....

[froggymaan]

The best singer really fits in the best band. I got their Alive in Athens consert on my PC, God damn that voice is powerfull!!!!!

[Metalfurious14]

matt barlow:the best singero of the world

iced earth forever :-)

[IcedEarthMich]

Respect for this man, his vocals made my days better.

ICED EARTH FOREVER

[RIPPEROWENS666]

MATT BARLOW INTERVIEW

[omgnomorebacon]

is iced earth 80's band?

[3dEnthusiast]

Sort of. Formed in 84 but first album was 90. Most recent one was back in Sept.

[YojiJu]

ich glaube wenn du berühmt bist und ständig einer mit dir reden will nervt dich das auch, abgesehen davon, dass man gar nicht für jeden die zeit hat...und übrigens grüßt du bestimmt auch nich jeden der dich meint zu kennen, den du aber nicht kennst

[kaeptndan]

hast recht!! wenn mich jemand auf der straße einfach anlabern würde, den ich nich kenne würd ich auch einfach vorbeigehen ^^

[SpawnRevenge92]

well I guess the where and how is important,tell me,in what circumstances did it happen?

[smithdsmit]

slip not I wish it was a knoose I had that band too

[civilwildman]

Matt Barlow... there we see a vocal god, folks. :D

[SlaveToTheDark]

a vocal god? THE vocal god:D

[iceddust69]

the only cop i will respect fully

[rammhammer7]

ok dude listen slipknot is way out of iced earth's league... if it wasnt for iced earth there would b no slipknot...

[Corpseviolation666]

How the fuck is that so? Iced Earth has nothing to do with Slipknot, especially in terms of sound and style. Not to mention Slipknot fucking sucks, making it even more shameful for you to credit Iced Earth for inspiring such a heap of shit.

[SomethingWicked98]

plumbingbg u really need to grow up dude im always reading these comments and u seem to be on all of them bashing the shit out of schaffer and barlow. if u hate them so much why are u watching all of these videos? and second if ur going to say barlow cant sing give us some good solid reasons why, instead of using ur limited brain power to just dish out cuss words. peace

[rainmaker11]

how dare any1 compare matt barlow wit some average singer...

[jorninorion]

that guy is legend, but he's not aware of it:) i guess...i love matt!! i love iced earth!

[plumbingbg]

metallica you a dumb fuck

[metallica910]

go back and listen to your slipknot cocksucker, a band that doesn't have any solos or any sense of musicality in their songs. Go suck Corey Taylor chode asshole.

[darkest1hourxx]

agreed slipknot is pure shit...untalented wastes of life

[headbanger1547]

World's best singer, folks.

[lazy347]

man u wish u could sing like him..

[SpawnRevenge92]

and corey taylor is supposed to be better?

Matt is ten times better than Taylor.period.

take the best song of slipknot(say wait and bleed or something)and put it against a mediocre Iced Earth song(say Im Ho TEp)

he still sounds way better.

and check the lives.Corey taylor struggles,Matt owns them.

[Corpseviolation666]

Corey Taylor is a self-pitying, whiny faggot who needs to pull his tampon out of his ass and stop bitching. "Oh boo-hoo, I hate being famous, my mask smells, I get too hot onstage, I don't know who my dad is." Shut the fuck up already and suck it up, lots of motherfuckers go through worse.

[XxXxTomArayaxXxX]

@plumbingbg I wish I could kick your head, you're fag!

[korruption]

How do you figure?

[m3ta1h3ad145218]

lol barlow rules! he sounds nothing like when he sings lol

[korruption]

Perhaps a good thing though. So when he pulls someone over, they won't be too busy headbanging to hear what the charges were.

[m3ta1h3ad145218]

lol ya you have a good point korruption

[LordDark999]

The master is back!!! Thanks Matt!!!

[PostmortemEP]

God! I'm so glad he is back!!

[UbodnaPila]

it gave me goosebumps when he said trash hits .ARR the growl is awesome

[PhantomLord]

wow his speaking voice is way different than his singing voice.

[korruption]

I was very surprised when I first heard him speak--back when his hair was long enough to polish his shoes with--amazing range, very good speaking clarity... Yup, Matt is the MAN! =D

[burgy8]

hell yeah

[Igorswimmer]

how can you say that?matt has much more powerfull voice than tim...i mean,tim is good,too...but you can't compare him with matt

[burgy8]

here here

[heavymetalmaniac1990]

i love the new album

[abominae1]

That is the first time I heard that Jon was making a change no matter what. It was a good interview from Matt though.

[HeadTater]

Gonna miss Ripper, but it is fucking awsome that Matt is coming back.

[TheAmeader]

@HeadTater Rippers band now is beyond fear its good check it out

[JackTarJakst3R]

@HeadTater Gonna miss Matt in Iced Earth now, again :-(

Hopefully the new guy's good, but I don't like his singing voice, Matt was the most aweseome singer of the band (actually of both bands he sang in).

[GatesOBabylon]

@HeadTater Ripper is now with Yngwie Malmsteen which is cool

[steveharrismetalgod]

why does he even introduce himself?it's not really necessary!hehehehe!lol!everybo­dy knows Mr.Barlow,the blazing majestic voice of the beast!!!welcome back chief!we all missed you so much!

[hollowjf]

Jon Schaffer and Matt Barlow , when these two forces combines , the world crumbles !

Iced Earth forever !

[icedearth10000]

i say hell yeah to that!!!!

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Great interview. Thanks for posting the video. Much appreciated. Hail Iced Earth. Welcome back, Matt Barlow.
