Iced Earth - To Curse The Sky (Live In Wuppertal '91)

[Cosmicgns]

This is Iced FUCKING Earth!

I really like this song!

[Wyndrax]

Only good Gene song out there.

[cubby3o5]

@Wyndrax Written on the Walls

Suck it.

[Wyndrax]

@cubby3o5 You mean Cast in Stone?

[cubby3o5]

@Wyndrax Um.. sure. They're the same song but Cast in Stone is wtih Matt and it has different lyrics. Written on the Walls is the original with Gene.

[AngelOfNight9]

On the album it's just "Curse the sky" ..

[Jkruem]

fuckin wish I was there even though I was only 1 years old lol

[EligosPoltergiest]

This footage, along with when the night falls, is legendary. Every Iced Earth fan knows this. thanks for posting!

[Hallowedbethybrain]

Nice to see IE in early form, and they're still amazing

[Prosciutto14]

John Schaffer should compile some archive footage like this one and release a retrospective DVD. It'd be a real treat!

[MetalHead220]

Man, I wish I was there...

[Twonionmaster]

Gene was good in Purgatory

John was good in Iced Earth

Matt was good in Pyramaze

Tim was good in Judas Priest

It should have stayed that way.

This song is decent but really the cream of this show is Winter Nights. If anyone has it, please upload it as i've been dying to hear it. Also, Mystical End had one of its only live appearances here which i want to hear as well.

[thygod]

I agree with you on two accounts. Greely was GOOD, yes. Not great, but good. And Ripper was awesome in Priest, but Halford obviously suits 'em better. I personally would've preferred if Ripper stayed in Iced Earth, and Matt worked with Pyramaze more...he was sounding better than ever on that Pyramaze stuff, and suited that band's sound more. He sounded rather uninspired on the Crucible of Man...I don't know, I just think Ripper works better for Iced Earth than Matt.

[thygod]

THEN AGAIN...Ripper also suits Malmsteen's band incredibly well.

[DieSchwartzmann]

In retrospect i think Matt sounded fantastic on the first three he was on, but everything else they've done doesn't really suit his voice as its lighter musically. Greely is more adaptable for that because he can reach Ripper's pitch but also do Barlow's screams.

I can't be the only one who wants the Barlow version of The Glorious Burden released now that he's back. I'm not saying that Ripper should be forgotten, but since they're doing it with Framing Armageddon they might as well.

[thygod]

They're re-releasing Framing Armageddon with Barlow? Hmmm....

But yeah, I'm a little curious to hear the Barlow version of Glorious Burden.

[mkadragtonslayer]

I agree with you on that. I wish Matt would have stayed in Pyramaze and Ripper would have stayed in Iced EArth. I guess now we'll never know how Crucible of Man would have sounded with Ripper on vocals. I wonder do you think that people will demand that Schaffer brin Ripper back into the Iced Earth fold?

[666danielclark666]

it dosnt matter if they demand ripper back, i certainly am excited to have matt barlow back where he belongs...iced earth!

[billpappasgr]

so right!!!

[symbolicrs]

To me, this is the best Iced Earth ever was. Definitely them at their most inventive.

[trialalo]

I agree absolutely!!!!!

Their riffs and melodies are much better and their music is in higher level than sormbringer and after that... and gene adams isn't the best voice but is making awesome vocals!!!

The 2 first albums are my BEST!!!

Enter The Realm (1988)

Iced Earth (1991)

[EarthNightIcedWish]

Yeah, I know how you feel. I personally think that "Ripper" is a great singer, and brought something new and different to I.E., just like he did with Priest. However I am glad that Matt's back, he is my favorite out of the singers who have glorified Iced Earth with their vocals. This is a great video, I would like to start collecting their older footage:)

[brian8002002]

Why Does Everyone Thank tim Wasnt No Good with Iced Earth He Was The Best i Thought Declaration Day Kicked Ass Tim Will Always Be My Favorite Whatever Band Hes With But All 4 Singers I Thought Had Good Songs

[VigoGatsu]

Out of tune one guitar, no? :S....it song fucking rules, check out my version by Matt Barlow!!

[IcedVengeance]

Gene shoulda took those vocal lessons way back. He had a lot of potential. I think hes in Unearthed now. Not Unearth, UnearthED. Or he was. Curse The Sky should be brought back live, I'd love to hear Tim's voice on it.

[Ceminon]

Personally I think that Ripper is a whole lot better than Gene. And everyone agrees that Barlow was the best, but that's all in the past.

Btw, if you really don't like Ripper's vocals, just give it another try with Overture Of The Wicked.

[paranoidmexican009]

gene is such an underrated singer. i wonder what he's up too now

[RaVilskur]

This Sir,Is the best Fucking song ever.

[schokob33r]

Cool Video, thanks for that.

Barlow still was the best singer in the band(imo).

However, I'd rather prefer Gene instead of Ripper... to be precise.. i think all the other IE singers were better than Ripper -.-'

[keimaru666]

iced earth is the shit

[ryugaiden11]

bleh i take that back Owens is the shit.

[ryugaiden11]

fuck owens, barlow, and most of all greely. Bring this mofo back!!!

[Infernolord]

[Violator6996]
