Iced Earth - The Clouding (Tim "Ripper" Owens + Lyrics)

[rkrokberg]

Ripper or not, this song is a fucking masterpiece. Period.

[SlashBurp]

tim ripper owens is the man.

[rkrokberg]

Why is this song so underrated?

Why is this album so underrated?

Why is this band so underrated?

[ambermangel]

All hail the Ripper!!!!!!!!!! <3

[XenoJack0]

God DAMN I love Judas Priest. Ripper! <3

[Vazcular]

What sucks is Barlow is now retired from IE. Owens may give the finger to Jon if asked to come back (and rightly so) but Owens has no business singing 'Dante's Inferno' and Barlow has zero business singing 'Gettysburg'.

[RedPaladin]

@Vazcular Stu Block has breathed new life into the band - the guy can do everything Barlow and Ripper can do, plus more.

@RedPaladin

I can't wait to see em' on the 29th. 3rd time. 2002 w/ Barlow and 2005 w/ Owens.

[NecroNikolai13]

This song was made for Ripper, I can't listen to Barlow's version *shudder* Sounds so empty in comparison.

[psychomurderguitaris]

@NecroNikolai13 It's pretty much the same for me. It might've been different if I would've heard Barlow's version first but having heard Ripper's version first, I naturally like this one better.

[slader133]

i need to learn how to play this on guitar

[Tombearspaw]

this song is the shit

[WolfkinNorthclaw]

Fantastic song! This entire album inspired one of my most complex stories. Well this album and Wolf's Rain.
