proof that Iced Earth was better off now with Ripper[views:2373][posts:8]__________________________________________ [May 26,2008 5:54pm - thegreatspaldino ""] http://www.myspace.com/icedearth they redid 3 songs from Framing Armageddon with Barlow on vocals and they sound very mediocre with him doing the vocals. granted I Walk Alone, the new song is pretty damn decent... but the Ripper stuff sounds much better with Ripper. although i bet all the Iced Earth fap-masters whined and cried when Ripper redid some Barlow songs... but the songs Ripper remade sounded better than the Barlow ones. |

| __________________________________________ [May 26,2008 6:11pm - thegreatspaldino ""] yeah i understand that, but i really dont have any problems with the Glorious Burden stuff at all really. i dont get that kind of vibe. hell... the Gettysburg "song" is probably my favorite IE tune. Hold At All Costs especially. |

| ______________________________ [May 26,2008 7:55pm - blue ""] barlow is better in iced earth. sorry. |
| ____________________________________ [May 26,2008 9:59pm - i_am_lazy ""] Eh, yeah, prefer Ripper. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2008 10:14pm - i_am_lazy ""] But he's much better off out of Iced Earth. Schaffer can't write riffs anymore. |
