  7. Just read about this Myself... And, like Keith I never heard Into Eternity either... All I know is that guy has some BIG shoes to fill.. I wish Him luck with it... Ok I heard the video?? and I gotta agree with Keith.. I hope He leaves the growling vocals at home.. It would SO not fit in with Iced Earth's music.....
  8. Wow this is almost as bad as the Guns and Roses "Chinese Democracy" Album.. Isn't it?? Wait, that only cost 10 or 11 Million... Nevermind.....
  9. Back to School... Pretty funny 80s comedy with Rodney Dangerfield... Saw it first at home and then at my orientation for College in 1988.. I believe Keith did too.....
  10. I liked the FInale Myself... That free for all in the ring of fire was BADASS!!! I was surpzied Gannicus got His freedom, cause I had assumed Crixus would kill Him to become Champion.... I HOPE He turns up in Season 2, and seeks out Crixus as now they are both Free..... Can't wait for Season 2 next year!!!
  11. Saw this on Blabbermouth.. And I can understand it?? but DAMN I was SO excited when Matt re-joined the band.. Sure The Crucible of Man was Not their best album, but...... ICED EARTH Frontman Announces "Retirement' From Band - Mar. 2, 2011 Longtime ICED EARTH vocalist Matt Barlow has announced his retirement from the band. In his heartfelt statement, Barlow cites his commitment to his family and the need for ICED EARTH to tour more as the reasons for his retirement; however, he has committed to perform with ICED EARTH on all 2011 European festival dates, which will be his last with the band. Matt Barlow's official statement is as follows: "Brothers and sisters, "Let me begin by saying how much of an honor it has been to share my time in ICED EARTH with Jon and the guys…and with all of you! Since my return to the band in 2007, it has truly been extraordinary. I have had the opportunity to travel the world and see old friends and meet new ones. Though we had originally thought that the ICED EARTH touring schedule would be very limited, we were able to play our fair share of concerts. "During that time we were also able to have a live DVD produced [the forthcoming 'Festivals Of The Wicked']. However, due to the rapidly changing music industry, it has become increasingly clear to recording artists that the only way to keep a band viable and to truly reach its potential is through live performances. That means that a band must reach out to new regions of the globe and become pioneers for their own livelihood. Since 2007, Jon and I have always had the best intentions for the future of ICED EARTH, and we still do. However, given the band's projected touring schedule, ICED EARTH's future and mine must now take separate paths. "On my departure from ICED EARTH in 2003, I made a commitment to my wife and to the idea that we would start, and raise, our family together. Two years later, my first child was born and two years after that, my second. My youngest son was born about a week before Jon asked me to return to ICED EARTH. It was a very exciting and emotional time for all of us, but we were all clear on our intentions. It is apparent to us now that regardless of our belief at that time, time can change an intended outcome. In this instance, I hope that change will not be regarded as a bad thing, but rather as a necessary part of evolution. "Jon and the band must venture into new realms to continue to grow ICED EARTH. I commend him for his ideals and wish nothing but to share in his vision. I know that this is not the last time Jon and I will work together, but it will be my last endeavor with ICED EARTH. ICED EARTH is a name and force of its own. It has been very good to me and has allowed me to live a dream that others would give most anything for. I have been truly blessed to share this experience with everyone. I will continue to support Jon and ICED EARTH in every way. I will also continue to create and perform in my own capacity. "These next months will prove to be a very emotional time for me. I am extremely happy to be able to share the experience with Jon, Brent, Freddie, Troy and the ICED EARTH family. I am proud to know them and honored that they consider me their friend. It is going to be phenomenal to share the love of this music during several summer festivals and I know that it will be a time we will never forget. "Please consider all that I have brought forth and all of Jon's offerings before passing judgment on the future of ICED EARTH. This band has always strived to give its listeners the very best and I know that Jon, as always, will continue to lead that charge. "To ICED EARTH and all of you…I wish you the very best!!!" Band founder and leader Jon Schaffer reacted to his friend's decision with equal parts sadness and praise. "I knew Matt wrestled with this for a long, long time," said Schaffer. "It wasn't an easy decision for him. But I love him dearly and I can't fault his reasons." Schaffer continued: "Matt is one of the most sincere people I know, and one of the most talented. His departure deeply saddens me, but I hope all fans of ICED EARTH will cut him some slack. I wish Matt well, respect him greatly, and I ask everyone else to do the same." With a new album in the works, and a world tour pending, Schaffer has already begun the search for a new vocalist. "I have a few guys in mind," said Schaffer. "And as you can imagine, it is a very important decision. One thing is for certain: we are not looking for a Matt Barlow ‘clone' — we are looking for a front man that brings power and character of his own to the table. There's only one Matt, and that era of the band's history will always hold a special place in my heart." The band's long-awaited six-hour, three-concert live DVD, "Festivals Of The Wicked", is scheduled for release this spring. Oh Tim Owens.. Your phone will be ringing soon I bet.... OR they could find someone totally new that kicks ASS!!
  12. I Been meaning to check this out.. One of these days I will....
  13. I gotta go with Def Leppard here.. High and Dry is probably their best album!! Well second best as Pyromania I like JUST that much more.... Ratt came in a close second..... Oh as did Dokken, cause Tooth and Nail is almost My favorite Dokken album!!
  14. I watched this last night too!! DAMN Good flick!! Mindless gory fun!!! And plenty of half naked chicks too!! Hell a couple FULLY naked chicks too!!! Is it just Me?? Or have College Kids gotten dumber over the years?? A Cop says Get OUT of the water.. you GET OUT OF THE WATER!!! You don't jump INTO the water and get turned into chum by nasty prehistoric piranhas!! Dumbasses!!! And poor Richard Dreyfuss.. Killed before the opening credits..... But I think My favorite scene?? This guys schlong after being ripped off, just floating down in the water, until a couple of the piranha chow down on it.. And then one just burps it out!! Nasty!! I also watched the Karate Kid from 2010?? I had almost NO expectations going in as I normally don't like Hollywood fucking with a classiuc 80s movie.... BUT I gotta say it was actually quite good... Though it should have been called the Kung Fu Kid, cause He didn't learn Karate, He learned Kung Fu... The storyline pretty much mirrors the original movie too.. Hell some of the dialogue was almost word for word the same stuff!! But, aside from that I found Myself enjoying the movie.. The scenery in China was just Beautiful!! And I like watching Kung Fu more than Karate, because to Me it's more of a Martial Art... Emphasis on Art....
  15. I saw this and I HAD to share it.... http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/02/24/justice-league-xxx-porn/ I think they got it right casting Ron Jeremy as the Penguin....

  19. Over on Blabbermouth is a lil blurb from an interview with John Schaffer of Iced Earth and it looks AWESOME!!!! ICED EARTH Mainman JON SCHAFFER Interviewed By METAL INJECTION (Video) - Feb. 17, 2011 Metal Injection correspondent Noa conducted an interview with ICED EARTH mainman Jon Schaffer during the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise — which set sail from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico on January 24 and returned four days later. You can now watch the chat below. ICED EARTH is hard at work on its tenth studio album, due later this year via Century Media Records. Unlike 2008's "The Crucible Of Man" and 2007's "Framing Armageddon", the new CD won't be a conceptual effort. Instead, band leader Jon Schaffer promises a return to the raw-and-heavy sound of ICED EARTH's classic fan-favorite albums. "I can tell you from the riffs and the attitude behind it," he said, "this is going to be a bad-ass record. This is inspired, focused, and to the point. This is really heavy stuff. It's a kick in the nuts." He added: "People probably think I don't have it in me any more. But they're going to be proved wrong about that. I can tell you this: we're coming back with a vengeance. We're out for blood." This promises to be a grand year for Schaffer and company. Not only will ICED EARTH release a new album (followed by a world tour — which management promises will take the band to countries it hasn't previously played), but the band will also release its long-awaited six-hour, three-concert live DVD, "Festivals Of The Wicked", this spring. In addition, the band will make appearancess at five European festival dates this summer, including at Ilosaarirock on July 16 in Joensuu, Finland and the Sweden Rock Festival on June 10 in Sölvesborg, Sweden. More shows will be announced soon. ICED EARTH's most recent full-length studio album, "The Crucible of Man (Something Wicked Part II)", sold 6,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD continued where ICED EARTH's 2007 release, "Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Part I)" left off. "The Crucible of Man" featured the return of frontman Matt Barlow who was mainman/guitarist Jon Schaffer's original voice of choice to introduce the "Something Wicked" saga back in 1998 as a trio of songs which concluded their album, "Something Wicked This Way Comes". I can't wait for the new CD and the Live DVD!!!!
