@whatthefluk Aye, especially in these times, when metal trends are all around and metal has become popular again. Bands like Iced Earth get shit for sounding "old-fashioned", but the fads will wear off in time and bands like Iced Earth will remain, as honest as they ever were.
@korruption haha never woulda thunk it? lol hes a metal musician. i think like 80% of them smoke. obviously I agree that no one should smoke forever and have no complaint with you hoping he quits but how are you surprised by it lol?
@laynestaley1990 Uhh cause I was lol? and this was the first I've heard of him smoking lol? and being a smoker myself I know how it fucks with a person's stamina and mind lol? and I'm glad he quit lol?
Thank god they never re recorded Night of the Stormrider. I can understand with the s/t since Gene Adam wasn't exactly up to snuff, but whenever I hear Barlow try to sing Stormrider era songs he's never able to do justice to John Greely.
@Whackooyzero Technically, they did re-record Stormrider (most of it, anyway) on the Days Of Purgatory album, along with almost all of the first album.
@Whackooyzero ahhhhhh i disagree. but i respect your opinion. i think that greelys voice was weak sounding in comparison to barlow. i like the super deep growl barlow adds while still having a badass high range. just my opinion though. to me, barlow is one of the best singers in every technique ive heard.
The music from The Dark Saga should've been in the movie! In fact the way he wrote the album is better than how the movie turned out.

IE is THE BAND! Jon is fucking genius in music! But I must say, he looks better now than in the past :D ... but I FUCKING LOVE ICED EARTH!
Doesnt matter who is behind the mic, he always can bring pure metal!
And I think (and hope) DYSTOPIA is just "another" beginning , cant wait for another stuff!
