  • its stupid to discuss whos better vocal i mean Ripper helped the band stay alive through time your beloved Barlow abandondem and then peacefuly left once he decided to come back to band

    ps i still think this song fits Owens more

  • ah *peacefully got fired!

  • No being fired would be like in Metallica dissing off Dave or Maidens kicked out Paul this was twosided he knew he couldnt stay forever and wanted a project of his own once the boy Barlow twisted his tail back and crawled to Shaffer.

  • Actually Schaffer was going to fire Tim regardless if Barlow came back or not, in fact he planned it before he even spoke to Matt. I wouldn't say that Barlow "crawled" back to schaffer, he wanted Barlow back, and Barlow just simply agreed!, even if he declined he said he would have searched for another singer.

    so yes Tim WAS fired! ... Schaffer said he didn't like his live performance or something... he said he "lacked stage presence" .

  • Well i never saw Iced Earth live with Ripper so i wouldnt know XD seen him with Hail! was puting up a decent show

  • i saw him with iced earth in '07, and he ruled!, so i don't understand why Schaffer said he lacked in performance. I think he probably just missed matt or something!

  • Matt Barlow is so much better.

  • I always prefer Tim over Matt. I think both are excellent singers, but Tim sounds more evil than Matt on those high pitched howls that I love. Matt's voice is amazing too, but after while, I get tired of it. Still, the way he channels his emotion through the music is sublime.

  • "All that they've ever loved is dead"... even this song like right now. Barlow is very good at his own songs, Horror Show is there so you can confirm, but c'mon, this one is Ripper's like all the other FA songs.

    I personally enjoy very much both of them, that's just my opinion.

  • @Nightcrawl6

    Matt is good in the studio AND live. Tim used to be a good live singer, and I think he still is, but when he sung live with Iced Earth, he just didn't have it.

  • @demolitionwolf91

    First off the man has a family, so I understand why he left, and two, when he left, the band and the fans respected his choice to leave. I have all the respect in the world for the reson why he left Iced Earth.

  • Ripper is a good vocalist. But Barlow IS Iced Earth. Atleast to me Ripper could never get close.

  • This song was made for Ripper. He sounds better than Barlow here. Easily. More power.

  • @demolitionwolf91 Barlow left Iced Earth to works as a Cop. I dont think its fair to call him a boy

  • @megapurify Barlow is a great frontman and showman as well. So both of these great voices made us Iced Earth fans proud!

  • They are two of my main influences and I can tell you from singer's standpoint, Ripper's style is more difficult and demanding. Oddly though at the end of this run live with Iced Earth you heard Barlow's voice fall off the deep end in a hurry. I think due to the stress of Ripper's range and high note power. However, as Stu said recently on facebook that Ripper as an unbelievable high mid range as well. In a nutshell Ripper wins in technique and Matt wins with his emotion. Both are BRILLIANT!

  • The vocal lines of this song is so amazing. Credits to the Ripper Owens.

  • @666JSchaffer666 no it´s true Ripper just was standing at the monitor box and sing on the same place all the show- this sucks""!!! Matt is running over the stage and involve the peoples to the show. And Live he is a monster, absolutely great entertainer and he sings the ballads with much more emotions. I think Ripper just scream in the same notes all the time. It didn´t fit Iced Earth
