Just once, it'd be nice to read the comments and not be subjected to the tired Ripper/Barlow debate. They're both amazing singers, just leave it at that.
Ripper was specifically selected due to how clean and high his voice could be; a talent Halford became revered for. The fact that Barlow (who became specifically famous for how clean and low his voice could be while growling) could be a suitable substitute is nothing short of remarkable.
Meh. Ripper own's this song, both studio and live. Barlow's attempt was good, but he just can't match ripper's tense vocal energy. The Ripper songs were meant for Ripper, and the Barlow songs were meant for Barlow. Stucifer seems to be the first I.E. singer that has multiple styles, thus can sing both the Ripper highs and the Barlow lows, in his own unique way. :)
@GigaRagnaSlave i agree so much with this, honestly i dont like ripper live, just dont like it, but they have their songs, and sound best doing their own songs, Stu seems to great at both the darker style that barlow has and screaming style of ripper :P
They recorded the dvd the first year matt came back... Ofcourse it was quite hard for him to perfrom the ripper songs in the beginning. But EVERYONE who saw them live in 2011 had to realize how GOD DAMN GOOD matt was in the end. Even the ripper-songs were PERFECT and just breathtaking....
sad that they didn't record the dvd in the last year. Nevertheless, its an awesome release. not only because I'm in the fiorst row of the rock hard 2008 gig:D
I just wanna say that matt was unbeatable!Miss him
Not bad, alot better then the last vid i saw Matt doin the vocals on this song, but still Ripper's voice was a little more powerful in his performence of this song \m/
this is fucking awesome but in my opinion i think that Tim Owens is better in this!!!it fits better on his voice but anyway Matt Barlow is a fucking good vocalist!!!!!
@AdamWarlock666 Me too, great song. They have a new singer so maybe they will play something from this album. But mostly they will play songs from Dystopia. I have VIP ticket for concert on 25 november, I'm looking forward to talk with Brent.
@encoreee90 Trust me mate, Stu Block is fucking good. The band was amazing I won't spoil the setlist but I doubt you'll be disappointed. In fact I'd go as far as to say he was better than Matt on the time I saw him live. (admittedly I only saw him once)
Great Vocalist,great person! Mr. Matt Barlow,defender of the law
