It's impressive how Barlow can manage her voice, down and low, high and loud...I mean, we know he is a professional, but i can't hear him without feeling the power.
I listen to metal since 1988 and cannot remember such a stellar scream rendition live. Even the greats like Dickinson, Halford and Tate tone it down a bit compared to the studio recording since they have to do the whole show but here it is the opposite. He literally blew away Greely studio performance.
it would have all the american inbred country metal shit bands they already do have xD i am kinda happy americunts dont listen to metal. i woudl hate metal if these posers listened to it
i always try to add a little bit of truth to the mix xD We have this shitty "metal' fest here in columbus called "rock on the range". it started pretty cool with megadeth and misfit type music, but now its litterally country rock , skater/emo shit, and trendies. I wanted to go see bullet for my valentine, but that was the heaviest band there and no way in fuckin hell was i gonna give my money to those other bands who would take 90% the cut from BFMV and me have to wait all day ina crowded joint , 3000 ft back from the stage just to see one slightly heavy but now sold out band xD.. Liek fuckin almost $100 a ticket per day was starting price, it was really trendy so it sold out fast too, to scalpers
@@hulksmashhumans5766 My point exactly, that's all American metal fests are nowadays. Europe has so much more diversity and appreciation that it makes people like us envious.
I agree with you!! I hated most of the bands that played on Ozzfest back in the late 90's- early 2000's. I wish there were bands like Gamma Ray, Helloween, Primal Fear, Masterplan, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, and Iced Earth on Ozzfest all those years. These are true METAL bands to me, not that Numetal crap that did get played on Ozzfest. Ozzy could have been a true hero and brought back real Heavy Metal if had these bands on his festival back then. These bands could have been huge here in the states.
@@hulksmashhumans5766 "it cant be a power metal band without a woman on vocals" what kind of fucking logic is that, there's plenty of male-vocal power metal bands that kick ass
@@n0i2 audio is from 1 of the 2 shows they did there. videos were recorded for one and the audio for the live album from the other show and people just put the 2 together
@@Aymungoos They took audio from both days and mixed it together, but they also recorded over a lot of parts in the studio to cover some of the more "live" parts. They've talked about this a lot, but also you can see footage that aired on TV of the same show and it's very different sounding. Not saying they tricked anyone or anything, it's an amazing album, but they did punch a lot of it up in the studio.
I can pick as fast as him and yes its a combination of wrist and finger movement. Stormrider was the first album i ever learned front to back, in and out.
If Jon felt that troy couldn't cut the mustard im sure he would have been fired a long time ago. the fact he's still in the band means jon feels hes a worthy guitar player.
+lexmarks567 I never get why he kept Troy on board. he is a fine guitarist, but it's too obvious that he simply cannot play the more technical parts that his predecessors did -It's just so annoying :/
Oh damn you, Schaffer... I've been playing to the first 2,5 minutes of this song on my guitar and I've learned to master the intro - but that was the album versions... Coming here to watch the beast live version and I have no chances at the inro :/
IE's weakness has always been their lead guitarists. Troy Seele is OK, but imagine what they could do with someone like Marty Friedman or Jeff Loomis or Michael Romeo.
Well the thing is Jon is the song writer and is basicly Iced Earth like Dave Mustaine is basicly Megadeth, Jon just get helping hands to play his songs, but i see your point though but all just Jon's lead being played by semi pro guitarists.
Believe it or not I've grown to like this song more than Dante's Inferno. Sure one is longer and more technical but this song has way more emotion than the other. Plus it's more of a rager than Dante's Inferno.
@xmetalbassx I bet we'd hate it if Schaeffer tried singing... and let's face it, he's basically a tribute artist to Steve Harris. Maiden fans find this material very comforting and familiar.
Nah depends on what songs we're talking about, Ripper certainly owns tracks like 10,000 strong. Barlow owns stuff like Watching Over Me, which imo is one of their best songs. Now as far as people "high" no, as a matter of fact it's not. Barlow's range is lower pitched for power metal. I like his voice he's a great singer with good virato and exellent emotion.
So underrated band...they are as good or better than Metallica, Megadeth or Maiden. Schaffer is easily a top 3 rythm metal guitar player ever...Barlow has an amazing voice and Smedley is a hell of a drummer...Wow.
I have long considered Iced Earth to be the combination of Metallica and Maiden better than both though (the greatness+mastery of song-song album-album, blows both of them away) higher high more consistent great songs and albums greatest rhythm guitarist, I don't think anyone is better he writes the songs too
@@zerpblerd5966. Funny you should say that… Whenever people would ask me about Iced Earth, I’d often reply by saying it’s what you would get if Iron Maiden and Metallica had a baby.

Matt Barlow at the age of 29 (Alive in Athens) already was a Metal God, played in Wacken Open Air, made legendary albums like Burnt Offerings, The Dark Saga and Something Wicked This Way Comes. And the guy talking about Stu range, man, i can tell you. Dante's Inferno Intro played live sucks because he can't manage the low range, and when he goes high (the examples i named before) he uses a lot of falsetto, in a lame form. Sorry, but Stu Block is not the Metal God you think, @jamesbond1231
