Talk:Iced Earth

message: The current picture is of Iced Earth with former member Matt Barlow, here is a more up to date picture of the band with current vocalist Stu Block - http://www.metal-archives.com/images/4/4_photo.jpg?2048  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.98.201.211 (talk) 01:42, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updated main picture 

message: Some sections were obviously written by an overzealous fan... I edited it a bit to make it more neutral, taking out the bits about the vocals being "beautiful," etc. 4.225.88.2 04:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: While I agreed with everything the previous text contained (being an "overzealous fan" myself), i think what you converted it to is much better NPOV text.  Thank you. --V3rt1g0 06:33, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "When The Eagle Cries had been one of the few pro-war songs released by the music industry."
Would whomever wrote this article remove this line? I don't recall anyone stating how it was either pro-war or anti-war. Last time I checked, it didn't seem to say anything about being all for the war at all, if anything, I could contest it is just as much against the war if anything. That is all, thank you.
-the song is certainly pro-war if you read the lyrics

thread_title:  Pro-War Song? 

message: AFAIK, Schaffer kicked Owens out of the band because the two had some sort of a conflict. In the article, it seems as though he left.
I'm not sure on this though, but it wouldn't seem like something that would just take place without problems, seeing how quite a bunch of people only liked the band for the vocals (this isn't a subjective argument though).
Tim Owens is a poser. Just because he fronted Judas Priest for a little bit while Halford was away doesn't automatically qualify him as a "metal god" as I've heard him being declared one numerous times. Why Schaffer replaced Barlow with Owens is completely beyond me, but I would hope they see the light eventually and get Barlow back.
Barlow will heed the call of Metal. At least, I hope so. Mailrobot 20:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia talk pages are not places for band discussins and personal attacks. BTW, none of previous IE vocalists had vocal range compared to Ripper's. He is widely regarded as a talented vocalist. Garret Beaumain 23:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This page claims to be the official Iced Earth MySpace.  Is this page theirs?  Their website makes no mention of it one way or another, and the MySpace page does have downloads enabled for three songs. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 21:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: On Februrary 9th the History section was replaced with one that doesn't flow as nicely as the previous text and is quite poorly formatted. I don't know if this should be reverted, or who would make that call, but the state of the article as it is is not pleasant. Medgno 01:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The changes were reverted roughly 10 hours later. -- 01:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Without even a nod to WP:A, calling some an anti-semite and accusingly them of stealing is going too far.  Burzmali 15:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was taken from the Encyclopedia Metallum almost word for word.  I have no idea if it is accurate their either as no source was given there so it is probably still unsourced and needed to be removed.  I'll continue to look to find an accurate account of why he was removed from the band. -- Borameer ™ 17:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal from history section 

message: DUDE! THAT RULES! BARLOW IS BACK! I love Ripper but Barlow is the best. We should keep updates of what's going on with this. Thank you,Skeeker [Talk] 00:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: "Iced Earth will no longer be doing massisve tours." What happened? Just because Barlow returned? Dark Executioner (talk) 18:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ? 

message: In the article it says "little of the thrash metal influence from the band's earlier works is present." I agree 100% with the claim that it's a power metal album, but... Well, how about a death-metal influence? I mean, Richard Cristy does basically nothing but provide a double-bass assault on "Wolf!" Notice, I'm not calling Iced Earth a death-metal band. I'm just suggesting that they had some death-metal influence on some of the songs on Horror Show due to the involvment of both S. Digiorgio and R. Christy (who both came from Death). Festering Rat Corpse (talk) 20:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Horror Show 

message: I think this is quite clear, especially the riffs on the something wicked trilogy are quite reminiscent to those of many testament songs. Also in part 1: prophecy Matt sings the line "disciples of the watch".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.181.123.162 (talk) 12:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Testament musical influence 

message: The Page refers to Matt Barlow as current vocalist and only briefly mentions his departure in 2011.   Also the only reference to Stu Block is in the members area where he is listed as vocalist but so is Matt Barlow.   This needs edited to avoid confusion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.237.202.180 (talk) 13:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  recent updates 

message: The current article image is an old one with Matt Barlow back in 2008. Now that Stu Black is the new vocalist, should consider replacing the article image with a more current one that includes Stu. I suggest the following image at http://www.icedearth.com/system/files/images/iced_earth_color_publicity_photo_credit_justin_borucki_1.jpg found at the Official Website of the band.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.15.9 (talk) 00:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
