He is true to the art of metal. He obviously has dissected and broke it down. These dudes will never sell out! I am glad o be part of the fandom of Iced Earth. All the lamers and wannabess can listen to there lady gaga and justin goober, i am glad Iced Earth does not have fakes.

I really appreciate his views on production and compression. Removing dynamics from a song removes one of the fundamentals of music IMO.

Yeah that probably would be cool, listen to 'The Pierced Spirit' from Burnt Offerings, prob one of my fav Iced Earth songs, despite it only being about 2 minutes long (well just under).

I really like the idea about the acoustic album with all the cellos, piano and stuff like that with matts volcals and shaffer on the acoustic guitar holy shit that would be bad ass go for it guys put a whole album out like that maybe even a two disc collectors edition or something who knows just throwing ideas out their so if you happen to read this John do it man you guys got the talent, and it will be AWSOME!!!
