As a fan of the band since the 90's I'm happy to see many more people finally getting exposed to Iced Earth even if under unfortunate circumstances. If anyone from Century Media reads this please do the right thing and keep this channel up and continue supporting the band rather than bow down to media pressure and try to purge the band from existence. Censorship is never the answer and this current push to ban and remove individuals and content from the internet for their political views will unfortunately do nothing more than further escalate tensions in a society that is already falling apart.
It's not necessarily censorship. They are making a capitalist decision and what's best for their brand. If another company thinks they can make $ from them...ok.
I agree. Pulling this content because of one knucklehead in the band would be a terrible disrespect to the band members, those involved in making these videos, and the fans who just want to enjoy the music.
You're confusing capitalism with censorship but at any rate the rest of this horrible band made a statement condemning his actions so they should just consider replacing him with someone who isn't a fascist.
@@RazielXSR I used to be a professional musician and can tell you for a 100% fact the rest of the band knew before hand what his plans were. Bands like this are literally tighter than family. I would argue they turned a blind eye until it personally effected them so maybe capitalism doing it's job isn't such a bad thing.
I saw Iced Earth twice on this tour, and both times Stu had tears in his eyes singing this song. I think looking at the crowd and singing these words really got to him. Favorite IE singer, he can do it all.

dacoda666 hey dude you have to be careful about the people who know wich music you listen to i mean you could get sentenced to death in iran for this i hope thats never gonna happen bro. cheers from germany
I'm hear because of Loudwire constantly posting about how the guitar player got arrested for storming the capitol. And I must say, Iced Earth sounds actually pretty good as a band.
Their earlier albums are even better. I would highly recommend giving Night of the Stormrider or Horror Show a listen if you get the chance. While the circumstances could be better, it's nice to see more people finally hearing of this band.
They have had like 30 lineup changes and schaffer is the only original member. This era wasnt the best. Check out something wicked this way comes, horror show and night of the stormrider
Lol almost the same. Listen on my first COPY CD walkman at Art-school, lost myself in those Metal songs-CD (compilation) that my brother made me. Funny that I listen it for 1-2 years non stop the same songs of those bands, never knew other songs of them beside the ones on that one CD, getting true my depression and not willing to leave at my school years at 14-19 years old. Still now I listen to all of them and discovering new songs that I learn to like. Still to get true this horrible world around me and forget the stupidity of so many people that think that know what life is and how everyone should be for them. F UK THEM, my thoughts, dreams are and freedom to choose my music I listen to is my only freedom i have where nobody bothers me for.
We have the power! Make our lives what they ought to be! Reconnect with our humanity! Transcend to a higher place! Accepting humanity, you are the key to the life that you seek.
Been a fan of Iced Earth for a very long time. Great albums. Great live band. Just all around F--KING GREAT. Now listen, If you like what you hear, by the damn album. These guys work hard, and have bills to pay just like the rest of us.

This song literally opened my eyes and made me appreciate the life that I have even though I have to deal with a great number of difficulties.. Many Iced Earth songs have a positive message in the lyrics . Long live Iced Earth and thank you for opening my eyes.
I don't know about you guys. But when I feel weak, or things just don't seem to go right. This song makes me realize all the good things, and fortune in my life that I should feel grateful for. Iced Earth is more then music, its power to the needing. \m/
@@xp7575 Fake metal? What the hell does that even mean? You could say that about anything, "thats fake" just because it does not suit you. Heres a question, whats a "real" metal song then?
Immer noch einer meiner Lieblingsbands . Stu hat Matt würdig ersetzt . Leider durch bekannte Situation ist die Band komplett verschwunden. Schade , hätte mich auf mehr Alben mit Stu gefreut gefreut.
This Is My Favorite Kind Of HEAVY METAL MUSIC: The Kind That Aspires, Inspires, Motivates, And Propagates Hope And Positivity. Keep It Up, Boyz. The World Demise Needs Heroes And You're My Avengers Assembled!!!
This band never fails to deliver, I recall getting my first IE album right after getting expelled from christian high school in 99, perfect tunes for such a ridiculous situation
He still is. Just the rest of the band went woke and kicked him out just because he got arrested at the Jan 6th riot. Hopefully he comes back with a new band soon. One that won't bend the knee.
Just because Jon loves our country and sees the corruption in Washington you write him off? If you were a real fan just by listening to his music you would know what he's about. A true patriot
Iced Earth is probably one the best to have really strong messages delivered and uplifting/motivational material in the metal culture today. Even with all the line up changes, Jon still stays strong at it and is one hell of a guitar player!! Gotta love Iced Earth.
Iced Earth has actually had five lead vocals. Gene Adam on "Iced Earth" John Greely on "Night of the Stormrider" Matt Barlow on "Burnt Offerings" through "Horror Show" and again on "The Crucible of Man" Tim "The Ripper" Owens on "The Glorious Burden" and "Framing Armageddon" and Stu Block (The guy in this song) on the most recent album "Dystopia"
I did listen to them in the late 90s. They were very underground back then. I had "The Dark Saga", "Days of Purgatory", "Something Wicked" and "Burnt Offerings". I quickly got bored of them, thought it was mediocre. I got all those albums because of one song I thought was alright. I made a huge mistake. I sold all those albums and bought much better stuff.
Never heard of this band before. Dude got locked up at the Capitol building protest. Guess what, y'all guys are boss. Sick guitar, amazing lyrics, kick ass message. You scored a new fan gentlemen, I'm spreading the word
Been jamming to iced earth since 1998 one members opinion of things does not mean that the whole band feels the same way keep supporting the band they're awesome and I'm still a fan rock on!!!
Blah blah blah. Jon Shaffer is iced earth so who cares about the rest of the bands opinions. Not like he killed anyone. This fake insurrection has been overblown. Muh jan 6th!
This is a message of peace and sanity. Please stop reading if you just want hate. I see all those people spreading hatred on the band and over-analysing things almost saying that if Jon had not stormed the capitol there wouldn't be dead people etc. Guys, first of all what Jon and every "Jon" who was there that day did was illegal and yes, they should be brought to justice for their actions because they breached the law. As simple as that. To those of you Iced Earth ex-hard-core fans who mix music and politics, if you actually have been "listening" to 'em lyrics, you should have seen that coming. Don't really see why people are so impressed. And to those of you who play the "good democratic samaritan", none of us really knows Jon more than between a meet-and-greet and listening to IE in spotify so do not assume you know his beliefs and jump to conclusions. Iced Earth is a kickass MUSIC band first, and we all love their music even if a band member did a very illegal move, he must be brought to justice for that and thats it, life goes on. Please stay safe all!
I thank Iced Earth for being the voice of the people. Jon, special thanks to you, brother. Words can't describe the impact you and Iced Earth have had on so many. May your message reverberate through the folds of time and space. \m/

I shared this song from Iced Earth to broadcast it on Radio saint affrique Fm airwaves. Thanx a lot, long living to the Rock 'n Roll, you'll the welcomes.
Saw them at Forum Copenhagen 2 days ago on their supporting tour with Volbeat, and they literally blew me away! You cant ask for a better support-band. Barlow is a metal-god and he is extraordinary, but damn, Stu does an excellent job on the vocals. He blend right ind, and he sings so powerful that it kills everything ells. Btw, they played a couple of new songs from their upcoming album, and they sound awesome!
I had literally zero faith in Block when I discovered he joined Iced Earth. After listening to him in Iced Earth for a month now, I think he's the best vocalist Iced Earth has ever had. His range is great and his style is a mix of the Ripper and Barlow.
that's because ,at leased 80 percent of earths population, will listen to what ever ,radio tells them what is good,instead of listening to what there own ears and body feels..!
They are definitely one of the greats a hidden gem to me i just discovered em about a year ago. i have been writing raps for the final concert called God's Wrath for a long time and yes i concur they will definitely be one of the headline of headlines along side the king of kings and i am GOAT from Milwaukee an american phsyco the anti wolf of wallstreet there is no title on me just a rapper that the world will know as Justin nataSoN pronounced not-uh-sun and that times is almost upon us!!! Rejoice!!!
The only band that never really dissapointed. Of course i love the Barlow and Stu days the most but on every album are songs where you just feel like Iced Earth is the best band to ever exist.
+hobestobe He's Jon Schaffer, so he's got talent for finding awesome musicians! Fun fact: Matt Barlow is/was Schaffer's brother in law, and current lead singer Stu Block I believe I read somewhere was in an Iced Earth tribute band or a band that did lots of Iced Earth covers.
regardless, I could practice for years and not come anywhere close to this talent level. interesting that Barlow is bro in law, thats a very convenient twist of fate
+hobestobe I'm sure you'll improve faster than you think. KK Downing had actually only been playing guitar for about a week, just a week, when he first auditioned for Judas Priest in 70/71 but they hired him because of his work ethic, attitude, and persona, and he always says that joining a band so early on is what helped him improve fast. Talent and fate often work out in surprising ways!
Check out the band Stu left to join Iced Earth, Into Eternity. He did pretty much every metal vocal style in it. Although i like Iced Earth and they're definitely much more well-known than Into Eternity will ever be, musically speaking the switch was a complete downgrade.
Bring Iced Earth back to life!
What I love about Iced Earth is that most of their songs have a real message in them. They aren't just great metal songs, they have feeling and deep rooted themes. Just awesome

And to those of you who play the "good democratic samaritan", none of us really knows Jon more than between a meet-and-greet and listening to IE in spotify so do not assume you know his beliefs and jump to conclusions. Iced Earth is a kickass MUSIC band first, and we all love their music even if a band member did a very illegal move, he must be brought to justice for that and thats it, life goes on. Please stay safe all!
LOVE THEM! Stu does such a great job!
ty iced earth for the years of metal. Up the Irons from Arizona! Semper Fi
we don't agree- I just don't wanna hear it from either side. just wanna rock on..10-11-22 and I still feel the same.
I thank Iced Earth for being the voice of the people. Jon, special thanks to you, brother. Words can't describe the impact you and Iced Earth have had on so many. May your message reverberate through the folds of time and space. \m/
That message is about to get him a few years in prison.
@@whyequalswhat lmao
@@whyequalswhat too bad our so called leaders in Congress get a pass though. They are the real criminals and don't serve the interests of the people.
@@whyequalswhat yes the message is snitching gets you decades off a prison sentence,
Hands down one of my all time favorite songs! lml
When taking music and lyrics into consideration, along with the feeling you get while listening...equals greatest band ever.
Great stuff !!! See them next Friday in Nuremberg-with my son.
He´s 38 years younger than me and he loves metal like me.
Makes me a happy man.
Phenomenal Voice!!Brilliant! Do you guys agree?
In your eyes I see your desperate and in hunger
Reclaim your future, your paths uncertain
See this child it's raised in hate and in anger
His eyes wide open, his rage so focused
Torn asunder our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life
Torn asunder our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life
The single mother she is strained and she suffers
She slaves away, her life in turmoil
The homeless man had it all and now has nothing
His spirit broken plagued from injustice
Torn asunder our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life
Torn asunder our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life
We have the power make our lives what they ought to be
Reconnect with our humanity
Transcend to a higher place, accepting reality
You are the key to the life you seek
Torn asunder our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life
Torn asunder our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life

THIS IS THE ANTHEM TO CELEBRATE YOU'RE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always love this band. Look in ones own closet. Don't judge. Peace brothers.
I am so glad to find this band , damnnnnnn I JUST CAN1T STOP LISTEN 'EM
Saw them at Forum Copenhagen 2 days ago on their supporting tour with Volbeat, and they literally blew me away! You cant ask for a better support-band. Barlow is a metal-god and he is extraordinary, but damn, Stu does an excellent job on the vocals. He blend right ind, and he sings so powerful that it kills everything ells. Btw, they played a couple of new songs from their upcoming album, and they sound awesome!
I had literally zero faith in Block when I discovered he joined Iced Earth.
After listening to him in Iced Earth for a month now, I think he's the best vocalist Iced Earth has ever had. His range is great and his style is a mix of the Ripper and Barlow.
I can relate to that, but it is understandable, when the one he should replace was Barlow ;)
I never liked their style
Thanks,.no idea they are touring. Jon fucked up,a total idiot
@@robbyhotchkiss2406 you must be a total loser coming here just to say that. You are pathetic. Muh insuwection... Muh jan 6th... Muh democwicy 🐑🤪
Great voice!
Une superbe voix. Musicalement c'est génial 🤘. Vos chansons sont magnifiques. Merci à vous
caramba ja faz 10 anos que soltaram essi som!! o tempo passa rapido demais parece q foi ontem 2012
Will always listen to the best
Not just lyrics. Walked them 🇺🇸
Whos checking out this band after all the loudwire posts on this band and the capital
No such thing as bad exposure they say
this band and the capital. I guess they sold out...
Reporting. 07
@@AusDenBergen wait? Me?
@@unknownunknown-hj6bf no I meant like "reporting for duty" an affirmative.
Just noticed the "Dont Tread on Me" Sticker on John Shaffers guitar. \m/ \m/ 'Murica!!!
Was so amazing to actually see this live a few months back in Minneapolis, MN.
Πολύ καλό...Φοβερή μουσική...
Its incredible how this band is underrated...
Aristoi Gabriel I know right they Should be a lot bigger they’re one of the many bands keeping metal Alive & Strong
@@dibbo9264 Dude - I was really worried back when they brought Stu in. Barlow was my go to.... but Stu. Fucking. Kills. IE forever.
They in my top 4 easily
'Cause we listen to much Nicolae Guta 😊
that's because ,at leased 80 percent of earths population, will listen to what ever ,radio tells them what is good,instead of listening to what there own ears and body feels..!
Amazing... Brings back time.
This voice is killing me, every time I feel like shit I come to this song and rise again
How I'm pretty lucky this week... First AleStorm now this
Pretty bad ass
what an amazing metal voice Stu has!!!
ICED EARTH IS THE MOST TALENTED BAND ever!
They are definitely one of the greats a hidden gem to me i just discovered em about a year ago. i have been writing raps for the final concert called God's Wrath for a long time and yes i concur they will definitely be one of the headline of headlines along side the king of kings and i am GOAT from Milwaukee an american phsyco the anti wolf of wallstreet there is no title on me just a rapper that the world will know as Justin nataSoN pronounced not-uh-sun and that times is almost upon us!!! Rejoice!!!
I have one word to describe this song: E P I C
Please come back!!!
Release Jon Schaffer! I need more Iced Earth!
No leave him in prison!
@@pisswizard it's you along with your democratic masters and both fascist antifa and racist blm that need to be in prison.
@@pisswizard he’s not even in prison, he’s in witness protection.
@@MecheDagda he was in prison though.
@@MecheDagda So what does that mean? He's free to make music now, or what?
First time I heard this I knew I was in metal heaven
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for thiers is the kingdom of heaven"-jesus, the son of man to the crowds
Great!
ICED EARTH is without a doubt an extremely fucking badass and crushingly dam METAL band
The only band that never really dissapointed. Of course i love the Barlow and Stu days the most but on every album are songs where you just feel like Iced Earth is the best band to ever exist.
where do they find all these amazing singers
+hobestobe He's Jon Schaffer, so he's got talent for finding awesome musicians! Fun fact: Matt Barlow is/was Schaffer's brother in law, and current lead singer Stu Block I believe I read somewhere was in an Iced Earth tribute band or a band that did lots of Iced Earth covers.
regardless, I could practice for years and not come anywhere close to this talent level. interesting that Barlow is bro in law, thats a very convenient twist of fate
+hobestobe I'm sure you'll improve faster than you think. KK Downing had actually only been playing guitar for about a week, just a week, when he first auditioned for Judas Priest in 70/71 but they hired him because of his work ethic, attitude, and persona, and he always says that joining a band so early on is what helped him improve fast. Talent and fate often work out in surprising ways!
Check out the band Stu left to join Iced Earth, Into Eternity. He did pretty much every metal vocal style in it. Although i like Iced Earth and they're definitely much more well-known than Into Eternity will ever be, musically speaking the switch was a complete downgrade.
will do thanks for the suggestion
So much TALENT. NOW WASTED
Go fuck yourself
@@marcsarazin7055 it is wasted though
How can you not love this song 🤘 METAL LIVES 🤘
This singer excels in Iced Earth and Into Eternity also who agrees?
" you are the key to the life that you seek " i don't even know what i love ... exept Metal of course !
@Mahmut Deniz no, why ? Metal is lofe
Einfach nur fett erste Liga überhaupt satter Sound und mega geile stimme,Metall dir ever
i head a riff from this band and I thought it was amazing, I really hoped they had clean vocals, very glad that they do.
