I'm really sick and fucking tired of these fight pop comments, Metal is a niche, therefore there is less of a market, for those who are differnet, and or intelligent. Pop is for all the conformists and retards... if all the jocks at my school listened to iced earth that would suck balls. If al lthe chicks listened to it ... well being a guitarist i'd get laid alot more but I'm sure there'd be a down side there to.
I agree... it is a Tim Owens song 100%, but Barlow has sung it live, hence the original question. Also, the song "A Charge To Keep" sounds great with Tim as the lead... and even better when Matt sings it!!
@noblecause Are you kidding? I have a deep respect for Matt Barlow, hes a great singer but this song is all Tim Owens and i honostly cant picture anyone else singing this song as well.
I put in the search exactly "ten thousand strong" because I knew in my heart there had to be some song with the name. Never heard of Iced Earth before but this reminds me of of Arctica so I'll have to check them out i think.
@Asixtirids its AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i was walking trough a store, and i saw a picture of iced earth - dystopia(i thought it was ked earth xD , soz), the picture looked awesome, so i thought, i have to watch it at youtube. And Damn.... Its freekn awesome \M/
@brokusstudios Tim" Ripper" Owens sounds more like Rob Halford not Dio no disrespect to Dio may he R.I.P but no one will sound like a young Dio. Dio will always be Dio
@resdsox1 He sounds like a mix of Dio and Halford, and sometimes his voice has a little dash of Bruce Dickinson, but mostly Halford, yeah, that's probably why Priest wanted him.
@PaulTraycay you don't have to fight against pop music. Music itself is beautiful, even pop and house, as long as is born from love and commitment. We must fight against those who commercialize music and fake talent, those are the true enemies.
@PaulTraycay Why do we want power? Then we have the best world music, if the Metal was popular, it will become like the pop, and will thus trivializing by the radio, TV ... I prefer to keep my good group for me, that I look to see that all people deserve not to listen to and demeaning.
@AdamWarlock666 I cover alot of rock and metal songs and everyone says I kick ass but I always struggle with this song. I NEVER get it right lol. Even Matt Barlow sounds like shit when he does this song and he can sing.
Owens is SUCH an better singer its not even funny, this band sucked ass before Owens, and as soon as he left they returned to making horribly mediocre music that isn't even fit to pirate.
@godevil1313 yeah i know that song, i myself am an "80's-70's only" metalhead most of the time. the funny thing is i was listening to that on my headphones that are broken in one ear . . . so the intro was kinda weird lol
after they're brainwashed by the setians, the humans lose all their advanced tech and forget that they came from a distant planet. the setians lie in wait until their savior, set abominae (the dude on the album art) is born/created (however the setians produce offspring). set abominae kills off powerful human empires, but eventually realizes that the brainwashed humans are less dangerous than the originals, and spares them rather than fulfil his function
Some of this song (like the Setians) doesn't make much sense without context, so:
The Setians, an alien species, are living on Earth. The humans, a species that has just discovered space travel, attack it to secure the beginning of their conquest of the galaxy (see the track "Motivation of Man", space marines FTW). The Setians are massacred, but manage to keep 10,000 of their elite soldiers, who initiate "the clouding". This brainwashes the humans to think earth is their homeworld.
dude, i love Ripper and Iced Earth, but hes better off with Charred Walls of the Damned. that music is MADE FOR RIPPER. search Charred Walls of the Damned - Ghost Town. itll make you take off your pants.
why the fuck didn't they call Ripper back??? why did they take Stu Block? Ripper is an awesome singer? why did they treat him like this? And wtf is Barlow thinking? he is returning and then leaving again??!!! shit man!
*IE* does NOT deserve a singer like Owens. If Schaffer doesn't wanna act spinelessly (what he unfortunately did in the past when he fired Ripper to take the "ordinary life pissed" Barlow back), he won't even dare asking Tim to rejoin (besides I assume he has sth better to do - no individual wants to be treated like that for a 2nd time).
2) Matt's recently made decision to leave the band is not very surprising to me - considering he left some years ago for a very weird reason (but who doesn't dream about becoming a police officer one day *hehe*). The new singer Stu is not bad but isn't able to hold a candle neither to Owens nor to Barlow.
@luisslb89 James Labrie used to be good, but his voice has really went downhill. I'm not saying he's terrible, but there are definitely better vocalists out there in my opinion.
Tim never gets enough credit for his stupidly powerful voice, he is usually overshadowed by other great musicians like Rob Halford or Matt Barlow which results in people complaining about him.
damn i think this is now one of my favorite songs now OVERKILL is my fav. band but this song is total badass!!! ICED EARTH is a kickass band it's great how you can hear one song by one vocals then hear the same song w/another vocaliest more bands should do that cuz that makes alot more fans cuz everybody has different taste. but anyway ICED EARTH FOREVER!!!
One of my favorite Iced Earth songs! And Ripper is perfect for this song. Barlow is awesome singer, but i dont think he couldve pulled off this song, or most of the Glorious Burden songs either, like Owens did!
@Drake45100 metal is a masterpiece! COMBINES aggresion beauty evilness and melodicness, and had a good rythmn, can any other from of music accomplish that? i think not
@agentcamo You got it all wrong man!! it's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!

This is an intensely awesome band, I thought power metal was boring crap (Sonata Antartica, DragonForce....Bad references) until I heard these guys and Avantasia. Thank you, Iced Earth!

Lets show that metal kicks ass!
