Iced Earth Feb, 09/2012 in Winnipeg, MB with Symphony X n' Warbringer... And Guess who's going?..... Me. Whoo Hoo! Can't wait, Only a few day away. \m/.
To all the "Mr Negatives" in here bashing Stu, the fact he came in and tried as hard as he did to fill the shoes Barlow left to focus on a respectable career in law enforcement (remember he made this decision after 9/11, so stop bitching, its not like there wasn't a good reason). I still respect him for wanting to bow out so the band can tour more, say what you will, but a band like this is DEAD if they don't tour. Seen IE with Barlow 2 times, most amazing shows ever. He will be missed.
Really? Jon is wearing a rebel flag on his head? I thought on the Gettysburg dvd he said he would have fought for the Union not the Confederacy? I mean honestly, I am from the South and I would have fought for the Union. I am proud to live in the country we have now. Wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
@BigSexyGamecock its more for the fact he is a history buff, owns his store with all that civil war memorabilia, a bandanna doesn't exactly dictate which side of a war he would have fought in almost 150 years ago. More of an appreciation of the time period. At least he understands the meaning of the flag, same with you(which i respect, btw), most people just go cool, i like that flag, I'm gonna hang it in my truck window. Happens all the time here, and I'm from Minnesota...go figure
I actually just got finished watching Dark City for the first time tonight because of the song thats gonna be on this album I fucking love that movie.
It's kind of crazy how Stu Block sounds so much like a cross between Barlow and Owens. He's got a low end similar to Barlow's, and his high end sounds almost spot on like Owens'.
That be Stu dude. He's got a great low range, much better than Tim's, and almost on par with Barlow's. Ol' Stucifer is a welcome addition to the Iced Earth family.
Stu is so amazing. He's no Barlow but surprisingly near with his voicing but I think more variable. I like him very much and I'm waiting eagerly for the next output!
Just from the short clips thus far (and Dante's Inferno), Stu definitely is a perfect mix of Barlow's low and mid range, and he can definitely hit the highs and do some great falsetto. Can't wait to hear Dystopia!
Stu is an amazing singer, I've seen him live in Into Eternity and he will blow you all away with what he can do, and a lot of the range I've heard so far on this new Iced Earth album is a 'new' range for Stu, so his palette of ranges just got A LOT bigger. I'll miss Barlow's voice dearly but there wasn't a better person to step in to fill those shoes then Stu.
Yea he's got a really fleshed out range. He sounds a bit more comfortable on the uppers than Matt, and he sounds almost identical to Matt on the low parts. And I think his mixed voice has less breaks than Barlow. Jon really lucked out with this guy. What a find. Very impressed thus far.
@darkguardian50 He has been in Canadian metal band Into Eternity since like 2006, I've been listening to Stu since then, he is one of the best vocalists I've ever heard when it comes to range, highs or lows.. you should check it out, a lot different than Iced Earth but his display of range is worth it.
@lioubinos99 dont get me wrong, he sounds like he has a crackin voice, and the music itself sounds like good, modern iced earth, I highly doubt it will be a bad album, but this guy does not appear to have as recogniseable a voice as barlow or owens: iI wish schaffer had hired someone with a more unique sound, but whatever, maybe he will surprise us all
@AdamWarlock666 no you're not. I can honestly say that I haven't been this excited for a new Iced Earth record in quite a few years. Stu sounds fantastic.
interesting. i wasn't sure how stu block would do on vocals. not that he lacks any talent, because he doesn't, i just wasn't sure he was the right fit. i love barlow and hearing new iced earth makes me miss him more, but this new sound really intrigues me.
Stu seems to be a much better singer than I thought. Even though he sorta has his own vocal style, he also has a hint of Barlow and Ripper. I'm really really impressed, and I'm even more excited about this new album.
@jdofdoom Same. When I heard the Dante's Inferno re-make, I was extremely disappointed. But the actual stuff that was made for Stu on the album... sounds pretty fucking cool.
Man this is so great! Finally seeing what's "beneath the Ice"!! Thank you Jon, Jim, and Stu and everyone else involved for sharing this with us. Can't wait 'til next Friday!
I keep thinking that I'm building this album up in my head, and there's no way it's gonna be that good, and then I watch shit like this, and I hear those high notes, and I just get so fucking excited
