Iced Earth - Ten Thousand Strong

[black2much]

That's Metal !!!

[swwaddell]

You can say what you want about Iced Earth, but that's how to start a metal song. No foolin around, just straight into the WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[trogdortheenchidna]

New level of epic.

[Rockmangoes]

first off,,, the advertisement i keep seeing on youtube before some music videos,,, CHILL OUT!

[Rockmangoes]

I hate newt Gengrich and Sarah (Falin) Palin!

[pyromaniarules]

@Rockmangoes and what does that have to do with iced earth? absolutely nothing!

[Superumouyun]

Amazing. Entertaining. I'd love to see a movie like this. Come to think of it, with Schaeffer's awesome library of movie and comic inspired songs, there probably has already been one. Great song. Great band.

[stonerspartan420]

IM not saying it's aliens.... but it's aliens.

[metabog]

Third time listening, sitting here just saying "man this is so awesome" every couple of seconds.

[PreedyM2k]

Matt Barlow is a fucking great vocalist but he can't do any of Tim's songs not saying he's bad but the way Tim sings in his songs is what makes it.... Plus Jon Schaeffers riffage.

[tribaku1]

whistler from blade on guitar :D love this band

[KyleOwenOfficial]

Elgama29 is just a homosexual so you all should just subscribe to my channel......

[TheBrotherNature1]

↓↓↓ shutup

[ric112]

thumbs up if you like giving thumbs up to comments on youtube

[Lazyman626]

@ric112 And here I thought that Thumb Whores couldn't get any worse.  Lo behold, they fucking did.

[rodrigogier]

can some1 tell me what is this song about?

[firringsquad14]

@rodrigogier you have to listen to the whole album because it tells a story.

[rodrigogier]

@firringsquad14 nice

so it's a concept album?

i'm kinda noob talking about iced earth lol

but the few i've listened to shows their awesomeness

[firringsquad14]

@rodrigogier yes it's a concept album. this song is part of Framing Armageddon: Something Wicked Part 1. The album that follows is The Crucible of Man: Something Wicked Part 2.

[rodrigogier]

@firringsquad14 gonna hear them

thanks for info:D

[elgama29]

@rodrigogier i would tell you what this song and the album are really about...but at first it might seem a bit ludicrous...i would suggest you read the lyrics and look up some words you are not familiar with

[Gurkmassa]

Tim Ripper Owens FTW! He is the reason that I like screams like the one in this song. Before that I hated power metal screams.

[Wowhowcoolisthat]

this guy is from judas priest?right?

[irondeth2]

@Wowhowcoolisthat used to.

[ohcalcutta81]

video editing just reminds me of Borderlands.

[The5u8Zer0]

Awesome song awesome text, music EVERYTHING!!!!!! :D

[ThatOneMarxman]

Held that shit for a SOLID 13 seconds, not even a drop in tone or breath. Bravo, sir.

[Photis]

Ripper is on eof the best metal voices.Honestly i don't know which one is better Halford or him.

[AssPimple69]

lmao i click on the video and scroll down just to hear a gay song playing im like wtf wheres the epic scream. i scroll back up and its a cold play ad.

[brakoify]

"What are those triangle things behind them?"

"Theyre called pyramids idiot. I think Benjamin Franklin built them in the 50s or something"

[fablegame01]

To be continued?

[clanangus]

Powerful scream!!!!!!!!!!

When you're not seeing the vid it seems like 1 minute!

[clanangus]

3:27-3:31 t1000 returned to kill bin laden

[HammerNHook]

@clanangus So you're telling me you don't know the difference between ancient egypt and Iran?

Sad, dude. Just sad.

[lif8896]

so what's with the "cut out" filter from Photoshop?

[clanangus]

@lif8896 when they finished the videoclip it was so bad that they needed to apply this fucking horrible effect to mask the problems hahahahahahahahaha

I keep imagining the designer saying:

"When we apply the cutout It will be good, you'll see"

[lkaszu]

@clanangus it was rather like : "alright guys, so thhe vid is not that good but.. who need good vid when we have such a kickass song lol"

[fuckslipknot21]

if that is 240p, imagine 1080p!

lol

[speedysnorlax]

dat video



[bkdlots68]

The singer has some Dio flair in his voice.

[CheJK666]

240p? u kiddin?

[TheHbot]

I shake my head at people bashing the song because of the lyrical content. They're telling a story, folks! It doesn't mean that they're conspiritors or support evil secret societies. Oh, Sleeper (a christian band) Made a concept album about the war between heaven and hell and the lyrics told both dude's of the story. "The Son The Morning" is written from Satan's point of view! I guess that makes a christan band satanists. Pull your heads out of your asses, please.

[elgama29]

@TheHbot dont generalize people when its just me doing the bashing...but i just dont believe in artists that can make good music and put out this bullshit for lyrics.. and if a christian band likes to sing about satan then isnt it safe to say that theyr not very christian after all???

[GravZr]

@3Inchesofblood44 LOL!!!!!

[roccotanto]

Tampa Bay RULES :-)

[breederofhate666]

My fave uncle got me into this.  It rapes.

[theDAMNEDproductions]

diggin it fuck yeah

[8Dumahia8]

I LOVE THIS SONG

IS AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNG!!!­!! =D

[TheGeneralBurn]

who else is kinda confused about the music video?

[elgama29]

@TheGeneralBurn thats the exact point of the video..to keep you confused

[elgama29]

@MetalOperaGhost you can believe me, its the same thing..regardless im pretty sure that theyll have different hideouts in different places...yeah but the overall tone of the album...its as if they play their songs on the behalf of the conspirators... and the undeniable disdain for humanity is also evident

[SlevinGoodkat]

@elgama29 you're like the modern day version of the people who freaked out when they first heard black sabbath in the 70's. let me assure you... of all the problems in the world, metal is pretty low on the list of those most likely to cause the destruction of mankind.

[elgama29]

@SlevinGoodkat wrong..im the modern day version of someone with his eyes and ears wide open...its not metal im worried about...i live and breathe metal...im worried about people who dont pay attention to what musicians/politicians/the media are actually saying..i can assure you our humanity is indeed in the process of destruction...do you want future generations to look back at our history and say "yeah, those are the ones who fucked it all up"?

[SlevinGoodkat]

@elgama29 so you think this will be like the yvan eht nioj song from the simpsons?

[elgama29]

@SlevinGoodkat not exactly..the simpsons were pointing out subliminal messages in certain songs...this is much more direct..the point is these assholes arent trying to be subtle at all...anymore

[elgama29]

@MetalOperaGhost ok then your either biased because you like the band too much or your not paying close enough attention..and its not specifically this song but the entire album..they have a song called the order of the rose(rosicrucians) and if you dont know who they are theyr the assholes that put up the georgia guidestones..so yeah fuck this song fuck the album fuck this band

[ZachMetalAsFuck]

this song should be called over 9000 strong!

[IHAVEFUCKEDYOU]

@ZachMetalAsFuck your username should be "imanasshole"

[ZachMetalAsFuck]

@IHAVEFUCKEDYOU look who's talking, ur username kinda suggests that ur an asshole. not to mention i made a comment about this video that was totally not being an asshole in any way, and here you are trying to rain on my parade ...... you sir, are the asshole :)

[IHAVEFUCKEDYOU]

@ZachMetalAsFuck lol, yean, an asshole who fucked you ;)

[pmtnyc1]

SHOULDA KEPT RIPPER!

[rod3067]

that is the most gorgeus scream i've ever heard!! >o< AHHHHHHHHHH!

[rednek316]

@rod3067 Lost Horizon- Highlander. Your opinion may change.

but indeed, Ripper is a man-beast who slays dragons with his primal shout.

[elgama29]

FUCK THIS SONG!! JON SCHAFFER IS A PIECE OF SHIT!!! I DIDNT REALIZE WHAT THEY WERE REALLY SAYING UNTIL I READ THE LYRICS...THE MUSIC MIGHT BE COOL BUT THE MESSAGE IS NOT!!! GOD DAMN THESE SUPPORTERS OF SECRET SOCIETIES!! OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!

[bloodyfool23]

@elgama29 grow up

[elgama29]

@bloodyfool23 maybe you should stop being a fool

[NiggeliNG]

@elgama29 you know that this song is off a CONCEPT album, do you? they do not support any secret societies, it's just the tale that of the "something wicked" saga, you idiot.

now you feel humiliated, don't you? i know i would.

[elgama29]

@NiggeliNG i understand that this is a concept album..and behind every story..there is a message..if you actually read the lyrics and even know a little bit of history behind secret societies you would be able to make the connection

iced earth 10000 strong: "we are the bane of man"

definition of bane: to destroy or ruin

if you are in any way shape or form a man then these are your enemies

whos humiliated now??

[KyleOwenOfficial]

@elgama29 I hope they forget to remove the memories of when you were raped as a child by your father.

[elgama29]

@KyleOwenOfficial ohh dude that was such a witty comment you made there!! you're so official dude!

[KyleOwenOfficial]

@elgama29 Open your eyes! your dads dick is in your face.....

[elgama29]

@KyleOwenOfficial you should stop yourself right there and stop imagining homosexual scenes in your head before your mouth salivates any more and you die of dehydration

[KyleOwenOfficial]

@elgama29 your dads penis is the bane of your butthole

[elgama29]

@KyleOwenOfficial so i see theres no point in arguing with you..i am saddened to know that theres always gonna be some ignoramus that is never going to be open to just a speck of truth

[HammerNHook]

@elgama29 open *your* eyes!

quite trying to act like idiot from westboro baptist or something. Nobody cares about your gay rants trying to stop people from listening to the real shit here.

Now, kindly GTFO and go for a walk in a minefield.

[elgama29]

@HammerNHook seriously??

1. im not trying to act like anybody

2. nobody gives you the right to speak for everybody

3. this is not the real shit this is the fake shit that only appears to be real

you must be so ignorant that you probably think the earth is flat...so please do ME a favor and go fall off the edge

[HammerNHook]

@elgama29 This is coming from the guy spamming "JOHN SHAFFER IS A PIECE OF SHIT!!!"" In all caps.

I came here prepared for idiocy, but not hypocrisy. Calm your brain down and enjoy the iced earth before I ice YOU.

[elgama29]

@HammerNHook yes thats exactly who it comes from and so it seems the only guy thats paying attention

and idiocy is what your ears received when the video played

dont know why your calling me a hypocrite when you dont know me at all so i think that makes YOU an idiot

[SweetOdinsRavens]

@elgama29 Not entirely sure whats going on in this argument, but yes. Whos your daddy.

[wattsta07]

@elgama29 regarding point 3, there is no spoon...

[ilikecookies010101]

Lyrics for the first 13 seconds of this song:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAOW!

[SONICBOOM1011]

@ilikecookies010101 this song banged my head three years ago and rocked my heart when i dled it off the satellite radio

this song bring back memorable memorise and competes with iron maiden in y opinion

[Petesama]

Am I the only one who finds a strange similarity between this and Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fist? :)

[LittlePaw83]

@Petesama disturbed- fake and gay :P

[Krow83]

@LittlePaw83

You're fake and gay. You haven't sold a single song, let alone millions of albums.

[stamatispoulios]

@Petesama the only similarity is the "Ten thousand". :p I don't see anything else... :)

[HammerNHook]

@Petesama not really. I used to like disturbed a shitload, but now I just kinda lost interest in them. A lot. they're not really metal anyway. More hard-rock/ borderline alt metal, but that's about it.

It's not that i hate them or they're not good anymore, it's just that i kinda grew out of em, i guess.

[zummazumma]

Yeah. Great song. the ad before - not so metal

[YsNick1]

didnt y had anything better to put as top comment than the fact that ads are annoying ?? LoL, the song rocks , the video too , focus on this .

[EmpyreanFrost]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS WHY I LOVE ICED EARTH.

[Flayne79]

Great song but why the AV club project video?

[dyurth]

How did marketing people ever convince metalheads that music videos are a necessity nowadays? More and more metal bands make videos nowadays, but I've yet to see a good one. Please, stick to releasing albums (and live dvd's)! Let everyone imagine their own images to the sound...

[jacoboshi11]

LLEVANDO EL METAL HASTA GUATATOYA \m/

[djmm1397]

is that the ripper?

[WindRoseOfficial]

Why that shit of a video effect? Without that effect would be 11029381028731920837 times better

[wheatieschampion666]

this band is AMAZING! but terrible at making music videos no offense

[EvilMegaDeath]

holy fuckin power voice of death!

[katzenfell1]

jooo eh ned so schlecht.

[VhanDariX]

AAA Ta bueno

[JDilla2812]

3:09 is so HC bro's. why you guys talking about beiber when you should be talking about these hyper cool dragons

[Fytko]

PUTA MIERDA DE PUBLICIDAD DE MCDONALS ¡¡¡¡ ARDED EN EL INFIERNO

[000trashcanhero000]

@description heavy metal / rock o.o . I think there's a big difference between those genres of music

[Apetch]

this vid reminds me of stargate

[theblackendone]

addicting song lmao :D

[MultiTomification]

rockin!!



[pitbullgirl65]

I want to make mad passionate love to Jon. *sigh*

[theblackendone]

*or what kind of metal this generally falls under

[mk13ultra4th]

@theblackendone

power metal..

[theblackendone]

it sounds like what someone would think if dio had been a thrash band lol

[HammerNHook]

@theblackendone or If Dio was in power metal

[aninhalokinha2011]

Tim Ripper rules \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/

[Zarkiv]

The vid is like A Scanner Darkly!

[JayHick]

I disagree with metal being pop if it were the most popular. Countdown to Extinction and the Black album sold very well world wide, and they were never considered pop.

[metaldedicated4life]

wow the vocalist sounds like Rob Halford damn fuckin good \m/

[17metalmaniac]

@metaldedicated4life Maybe that´s why he replaced Rob after he left the band

[17metalmaniac]

@metaldedicated4life Maybe that´s why he replaced Rob after he left the band

[juanviperea]

@metaldedicated4life hahaha you know this guy was Judas priest's vocalist for 2 albums right? tim "ripper" owens.. and btw, the movie Rockstar is completely based on tim ripper owens and judas priest history, recomend the movie, and the music is awsome

[meotch98]

reminds me of judas priest! \m/

[Lalakis]

...sigh at all the 12 year olds deciding to wage war to pop music... for god's sake you morons learn to appreciate music for what it is. stop obsessing with genres like some kind of moronic fanatics

[MrMeineNamen]

face melted, hands disenigrated, crapped myself, watched video again

[7uptheirons]

i stopped my porn site for this!!! and im happy

[nymphetismal]

Great song, but what's with the star wars?

[SMWhit3out]

this is not loud enouygh

[matrixofpowermetal]

I Love Ripper Owens 

[Shadows191238]

fck the whole metal rebellion thing about a new plan its fckin gay if ur a real metal do what u fckin want its what makes us different by doing our own thing and not conforming

[Moochopilis]

@Shadows191238 Hipster

[theripper9]

@Shadows191238 dude timmy owens is a dear friend of mine he is the hardest fucking working badass in the business and you probably cant even pick your nose faggot !

[Shadows191238]

@theripper9 well ur prob another guy who believe in the that "metal rebellion" which is just as gay as u and ur friend duece

[partyman147]

@Shadows191238 you're conforming into what you think a "real metal head" is. Looooosssseeeer.

[cornypoop123]

Seriously thats a cool guitar and all..... but isn't more for rock and blues? Not metal.

[fullstack2]

@cornypoop123 check out their other songs dude.

[UndertakerDMCFan0]

here's what i think, no one likes Hannah Montana anymore, Jonases are almost literally off the face of the planet and Beiber is next. After he matures he too will disappear, unlike metal, they are only fads and all we must do is endure

[TheSynchroLogic]

Ancient alien astronaut theory, anyone? I feel less crazy now thank you Iced Earth.

[Meticcio696]

ma io non lo sapevo!

[Alackhor]

good sound

[jasorey]

I hear a mixture of King Diamond, Rob Halford.

[carajoyo]

Rip Owens Owns All

[sharrer2]

the vocals sound similiar to Dio. D: Can you say new favorite band?

[darnpenguin]

@sharrer2 Now that you mention it, I can hear a bit of Dio in there. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all. \m/

[xplozyn]

holy fucking vocals

[metallicadead]

looks like a UT2004 fight between skaarjs and egyptians

[deathsnake1992]

if they had a better video this song would have been perfect XD

amazing piece of music I must say :)

[DeanMLFlame]

i'm getting really tired of advertisments before videos!!!

[coupedup3214]

@DeanMLFlame It's bad enough we have to watch commercials on tv... But on you tube? Ridiculous!!! Rock on Brother

[jorn1233]

@DeanMLFlame get adblock plus for firefox or google chrome man it's great!

[SlaughterTheFrail]

@DeanMLFlame Firefox addblock bro.

[defnist47]

@DeanMLFlame I suggest downloading mozilla firefox and getting the add-on "ad blocker plus" its amazing the only "downside" if you see it like that is you have to manually start the video on a page if the page originally planned on using an add, but there are no ads, I love it hahaha fuck vevo and their ads!

[ghost2021a]

@DeanMLFlame firefox 4.0 + Ad Blocker Plus

[Kingcobra1211]

@DeanMLFlame all becuz utube sold it to google

[legojunk53]

@DeanMLFlame then get Mozilla Firefox, and download Adblocker, it's great. it doesn't just block YouTube ads, but all of them

[joeysixtysix]

@DeanMLFlame Ads make youtube free. Be glad there are ads.

[HammerNHook]

@joeysixtysix o be glad to have adblock for chrome. yeah i've heard this a million times, but it's in a sense bullshit. Youtube didn't use to have ads about a couple of years ago, believe me. So quit feeding all the youtube noobs your lies. it's straight up gay saying that "ads make youtube free" that's no less retarded than the "facebook gold account" BS. youtube = free, and always wil be, regardless of ads, vevo, or whatever

[joeysixtysix]

@HammerNHook I guess you think websites appear for free from the free fairy. Get clue. I bet your one of those asshats camping in the park protesting people who have jobs.

[HammerNHook]

@joeysixtysix actually, No i'm not. im a dude in high school getting you to wake the fuck up and quit acting like everything needs gay ads and shit. you're probably a copypaster too

[MaceMeetFace]

@HammerNHook Youtube used to be small enough to be supported by banner ads.

For a while, however, they were operating at a loss because it got too big. That is until Google bought youtube. You're right in one sense: youtube has ALWAYS been free. However, what -you- need to understand is that the site is HUGE compared to where it was a couple of years ago. The costs of maintenance have skyrocketed and, in a sense it's true:if there were no ads (at all) then you would be paying for the service

[traveller982]

@DeanMLFlame If you have firefox go to tools, then add-ons then add ad-blocker plus for free. Never see another ad before a video again

[deerdestroyer2009]

@DeanMLFlame you and me both

[RoomTroll]

@DeanMLFlame yes they must be obliterated from the face of the Earth

[menasor2]

i really think the ONLY problem with this is the actual video itself. the music and vocals are really solid. if this had the music video it deserves it would be truly epic.

[menasor2]

i dont care if the video is kind of sub-par. the second i hear this song i just want to start ROCKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!! this is an unbelievable song that will get you fucking pumped in any scenario guaranteed

[2009080660]

28 assholes

[RockabillyAnt]

Ok .. so this is the 1st time I've ever heard this .. and I'm blown away .. I can only say one thing about this .. ITS FUCKING EPIC!!!

[Reallifejuggaloz]

Really strong vocals

[23BiGFailure]

Begining reminds me of borderlands :D!

[spoonleTV]

they should have schaffer sing a majority of da songs not just the chorus

[BigTymerPimp]

When the song started I was all like, "King Diamond?"

[lordjdog]

@BigTymerPimp Nah, Tim "Ripper" Owen lol I can hear what you mean though lol

[deggial2005]

Ripper is awesome but Barlow IS Iced Earth

[X3MCTZN]

I got an original t-shirt of this beauty !!! HAIL ...damn coool song !!!!

[icereaper33]

well every people think different i think this guy is better than the first one, Ripper is very good singer but this one sing with more courage

[Jessegrr420]

this guy sounds like diio...awsome

[ImDaChampMang]

Don;'t attack rap, attack this new shit impersonating rap! And make sure you guys kill Gaga ok? lol :P
