wow, didnt realize how much more muscle and all around better shape schaffer appears to have/be in nowadays as opposed to 2008 when this was taken. somebody has been hitting the gym, lol
god, it sickens me that someone so talented isn't recognized in the music industry. (Matt Barlow) I completely understand his reasons for leaving the band but it didn't make it any less tragic.
@Barlowned Oh macho attack..Well if iam a "mediocre" then ur probably a fan boy who eats blind what hes served.Btw its a fact that many bands re-record parts of lives in studio.
@MrMethadrine HAHAHA nope, it's not a simple fan boy. I'm a huge Iced Earth fan, and if you listen to the Rock Hard performance, Matt Barlow voice doesn't sound THIS good, and it's just the touring effect, the wastage and all that implies a tired performance. This one is just perfect and if you've been listening to Iced Earth ANYTHING in studio, you could catch the difference between that and live. And it's well known that bands re-record some parts in studio during the edition, captain obvious.
@Barlowned also the magic of a live recording is to listen every little bit mistake,time mismatch,room ambience etc.If u take it in studio and beat the crap out of it with "corrections" then its an abomination of live.
@MrMethadrine and what about a perfect performance? don't you believe in that? I have this DVD, and if i'm not wrong, in My Own Savior, Matt missed some verses (in this or in Rock Hard concert). Was that prepared or something? I don't think so...
@Barlowned Of course they will leave some parts untouched.They r not that stupid.They dont want to be that obvious.Dude im an iced earth fan since Night of the Stormrider,im not trying to ditch them.When i buy a live album,i wanna hear the "Live After Death" feeling.
@MrMethadrine if you are a fan as you said, you may know Iced Earth is one of those bands which does those live performance that you say "wow, it's perfect". Jon Schaffer is such a perfectionist, don't you know? if there are no errors, it's not live? come on, give it the benefit of the doubt...
@Barlowned U said the word i had in my mind "perfectionist" and of course im aware John is like that.But i dont like such kind of perfectionism (and i mean the sodomize in studio).If it aint broke dont fix it.
It keeps suprising me how these 5 people can make such a great emotional songs like this and at the same concert play some fucking epic galloping thrash tunes.
Even though I think Stu is a great fit for Iced Earth, when I watch a video like this, it really makes me miss Matt. Matt will always be the voice of Iced Earth. Such an amazing voice.
@H4ll3luj4 Yes you are right. The part from solo to the end has so powerful feeling. Great Brent's drum fills, guitars, Matt's voice. Everything fits very well
is this like Halford Live Insurection recorded in studio?
the audio is perfect like no live album.
watch in final of the 2nd solo when in the video he is not doing it.
i think...
