Ripper deserves more props than he gets. He's got a tough job. He gets asked to fill in for these popular bands, and he almost always gets a bad welcome because the fans are so devoted to the past singers. But without Ripper stepping in, these Bands wouldn't be touring or putting out new records. They would go on a 2-3 year hiatus, if not more, and that makes it even harder to "come back". So from all IE fans, thank you Ripper for keeping IE going with Jon for as long as you did. \m/
I don't think so. My trained ear of a singer indicates Stu sings in exactly the same heights. His voice is just more solid and that's why it sounds lower. It also has more drive - another reason why it sounds lower. Stu is actually far more technically gifted than Matt. Furthermore - his head voice is straight, Matt's is crackly. Yes, you can't let off the fact the original song is sung by Matt and he has a more unique sound of the voice unlike Stu, whose voice is all technique. Academically it's more useful to study Stu's style, because out of his not very big range he lets out the maximum of every tone. Matt, however, simply has a milder tone which nobody can impressionate and this makes him a far more recognizable singer. And that is his strength, which makes him so beloved. Neither Tim Owens, nor Stu Block possess such uniqueness. Well, Block is unique, but in a far different way.
the music is great.. and yeah.. like " thelayman" says.. the story "behind" the lyrics is great.... all of the Iced earth's lyrics are damn awesome... they can make a horror Story becomes even darker... or change people's thought that a horror story cant be more than that... when it actually can .. like Dracula's song.... like.. " vengeance for love "
This is how to sing this song , there are no exceptions. The owens version cannot compete with this rendition by Matt Barlow , the metal god !!! \m/ I will feed upon his precious child , the human race will bleed.\m/
Watching this video it makes me feel a great power inside due the great and hellish performance from Iced Earth!!! Barlow is definitely the only and true singer from Iced Earth! He's God made flesh!!!
Matt's in a new band now by the way. It's called Pyramaze, but you'll have to look it up because youtube won't let me post the URL. It's not a return to IE but at least it's something. Here's hoping it's good.
well, i dont know exactly but is well known that jon have suffered extreme back pain for a long time. he went to a surgery in order to reduce it a little. dont remember when it was... before horror show recordings...?
WTF??!?!?!!??! Who listens to Iced Earth without being a Barlow fan?? I guess you mean that i been defending Ripper when he was singing, well thats because he was the best one to have when barlows out of music... And now when barlows back to IE i am happier than ever!!!!! (He kicks everyones ass)
I will remember to you that Th Glorious Burden was writen for Barlow vocal except for red baron/blue max caus if you didn't it barw ws supposed to record the glosrious burden but his passion was not on his voice when he do that so he leave and ripper was cotactto record the vocals
i work in the town he is an officer in. one of his fellow officers was shot and killed the other night. they had a vigil in town for him and officer barlow sand the star spangled banner.
Yeah. . . Except that he refers to what the author of the story had in mind. . . And says that the story is often misinterpreted as just a horror story, instead of a very, very dark love story. I don't think it was possible to miss the love story from Coppola's movie. Barlow was obviously refering to the book in his intro. I'm just sayin' that no matter how much he kicks ass, he shouldn't be talkin' about a book that he obviously hasn't read. He rocks the house, though.
I agree, but I think it has to do more with the quality of the sound than anything. I mean it's Richard Christy! He was amazing as a drummer but he makes me laugh my ass off on Howard Stern so I can respect the career change
yeah man, tims work on framing armaggedon is fantastic. dont understand those fights against singers fans... the same stupid thing that happens with kiske and deris... different singers ppl!!!
you guys don't understand Tim is an amazing singer he did an amazing job with the glorious burden, 1 of my favorite albums. Had barlow done it, it woulda been a fail there different both are amazing,a both have a difrent voice Tim can't sing Dracula and Barlow can sing Hold at all costs. Stop being nut hanging fan boys and get a lif
Hmmm. . . I think this song rocks. But. . . It's based on Coppola's movie, Bram Stoker's Dracula, not the book. When he says the band thinks the author had something deeper in mind. . . The love story in the movie was totally invented by the screenwriter and doesn't come from the book, at all. Stoker was just writing a horror story with some cutting edge tech like blood transfusions and typewriters. Still rocks, though.

Adread i prefer matt but ripper was awesome too n im thank full wat he did for iced earth
Ripper owned. Fuck Stu.
Matt barlow is a monster
Barlows screams in this song are great! One of the best metal singer with Halford, dickinson and Dio.
that snare drum tho. overpowers pretty much everything. badass.
The real Iced Earth Voice! :)
Matt Rockssss!!!
My favourite Line-up!
MINE TOO!
barlow is the voice of gods angels
What a legend!
I can't get enough of his voice... His voice is the archetype of man and of metal singers. Every woman want hear him... So powerful and strong.
Richard Christy is one of the best drummer I ever Seen and Iced Earth and Death! the best bands american metal can have!
Barlow's voice, its really powerfull
Sounds the same has in the studio version!!
\,,/
Shit i can feel the pain, hate and sad in his interpretation
Awesome Line up...Tarnowsky was a monster...awesome live, Christy on drums, Macdoungh on bass, Jon and Matt....flawless
The drummer is Godlike!
Hells yeah! Love this song, great to see Barlow singing it.
Matt is a legend !!!! MATT IN ICED IS EQUAL BRUCE IN MAIDEN !!!! Period!!!!
i cant believe this man is back with IE... i cant wait to hear what their new stuff sounds like
this song should be on the "the blessed and the damned" album. i love it. especially the intro.
Matt just has that damn range. Stu struggles with this song in the lows and highs. Which is why this song rules.
I don't think so. My trained ear of a singer indicates Stu sings in exactly the same heights. His voice is just more solid and that's why it sounds lower. It also has more drive - another reason why it sounds lower. Stu is actually far more technically gifted than Matt. Furthermore - his head voice is straight, Matt's is crackly.

@@spd7693 LOOOOOL, ok.
Barlow is the voice of Iced Earth.
the music is great.. and yeah.. like " thelayman" says.. the story "behind" the lyrics is great.... all of the Iced earth's lyrics are damn awesome... they can make a horror Story becomes even darker... or change people's thought that a horror story cant be more than that... when it actually can .. like Dracula's song.... like.. " vengeance for love "
I like the fretless bass playing in the intro.
Hes alway used fretless to wat ive seen
I wish I could have seen IE with Barlow, at elast he's back to singing again
I love it when he sing in that high pitch way!
Barlow is the greatest.... NO F*** DOUBT!!! We want you back, Matthew!!!!
This is how to sing this song , there are no exceptions. The owens version cannot compete with this rendition by Matt Barlow , the metal god !!!
\m/ I will feed upon his precious child , the human race will bleed.\m/
Richard Christy is a beast !
Richard Christy is Godlike!!

Matt , and Hansi both kick serious ass.
Best singer ever.
WOOO yep he's going to be touring too according to website. Too bad no where near me :( damn oklahoma.
Owens is a great singer, he put his seal and some youth at judas. For iced earth, he did a great job too.
Yep the snare drum is working
he didn't need to explain it.
Made perfect sense to me the first time I read it
I love Matt
forever Barlow....
this is great!
Watching this video it makes me feel a great power inside due the great and hellish performance from Iced Earth!!! Barlow is definitely the only and true singer from Iced Earth! He's God made flesh!!!
Perfect
love that tune
behold the god of vocals
When my net stops karkin itself randomly I'm gonna dl all these vids and make a DVD outta them!
I am the dragon of blood? LOL Horror Show is an epic album. Pure hits! Get Christy & Tarnowski back in there! lol
Iced Earth Rules!!!!!
Matt ❤️
Didnt know you were a Barlow fan, big H.
Barlow is a metal god , and yes he will be singing for Iced Earth again. He is back with the band , back where he belongs.
Thank you JON
What a powerful song!
ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
barlow is back in iced earth!!!!1 wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! their 2008 album framing Armageddon 2 will have him on vocals!!!
ho yeah barlow on dracula
Matt's in a new band now by the way. It's called Pyramaze, but you'll have to look it up because youtube won't let me post the URL. It's not a return to IE but at least it's something. Here's hoping it's good.
he will return
I really like this song :)
Agree with kaiserexperiance..greetings from Venezuela
well, i dont know exactly but is well known that jon have suffered extreme back pain for a long time. he went to a surgery in order to reduce it a little. dont remember when it was... before horror show recordings...?
Fretless bass forever!!!!
Larry Tarnowski.
Richard Christy rules!!!
ICED FUCKING EARTH!!!! THEY ARE GODS OF METAL!!! FuCK YEAH!!!!! HAIL BARLOW!!!
Iced Fuckin' Barlow!!
bravo moruk aynen öyle.
WTF??!?!?!!??!
Who listens to Iced Earth without being a Barlow fan??
I guess you mean that i been defending Ripper when he was singing, well thats because he was the best one to have when barlows out of music... And now when barlows back to IE i am happier than ever!!!!! (He kicks everyones ass)
Matt Barlow is fucking awesome!
agreed!
Dracula is just one of those songs crafted for Matts voice, its not Owens' fault.
F**kn awesome, but would have been perfect had Steve DiGiorgio still been in the band to play the lovely fretless bit at the start...
♥
Iced Earth are gods.
Barlow!! FUCKING YEAH!!!!
I will remember to you that Th Glorious Burden was writen for Barlow vocal except for red baron/blue max caus if you didn't it barw ws supposed to record the glosrious burden but his passion was not on his voice when he do that so he leave and ripper was cotactto record the vocals
That was fucking awesome, my Fav Iced Earth song. Saw em at Bloodstock and was Praying they'd play this, but alas no :o( they were still great tho
reaper owns dont kicks me but barlow beat me the shit out of my head!
i work in the town he is an officer in. one of his fellow officers was shot and killed the other night. they had a vigil in town for him and officer barlow sand the star spangled banner.
kai gamo........................ela re matt
Nice explanation... hey, whats that falsetto term exactly means?
matt barlow is the man !!!
The snares are annoyingly loud. i wonder why.
his vocalz are good live!!! haha
Damn, that snare IS loud. Now compare this version to the one with Tim Owens...
Yeah. . . Except that he refers to what the author of the story had in mind. . . And says that the story is often misinterpreted as just a horror story, instead of a very, very dark love story. I don't think it was possible to miss the love story from Coppola's movie. Barlow was obviously refering to the book in his intro. I'm just sayin' that no matter how much he kicks ass, he shouldn't be talkin' about a book that he obviously hasn't read. He rocks the house, though.
If anyone have a video from the show of iced earth of june 6th or june 7th upload it please!!!!!!
I saw Matt live twice and Ripper once, sorry but Matt has more of a stage presence then Ripper ever will have imo. Glad Matt is back now!
I agree, but I think it has to do more with the quality of the sound than anything. I mean it's Richard Christy! He was amazing as a drummer but he makes me laugh my ass off on Howard Stern so I can respect the career change
When was this gig recorded?
Is this Christy on drums?
Yeah... He had always fucking rules, like then he do a great job now with Charred Walls of the Damned !
@chronic1284 Actually isn't voice of God's Angels but its Voice from Metal God of Lucifer the Reaper
I saw them on this tour... any idea where this was?
basically.
the amount of muso's Schaffer has gone through screams of arrogance
damn right!
tho i wouldve done anything to get arrested by him lol
i would get a ticket fight it just to see him in court then pay the ticket
its fucked up know one gives Ripper credit hes one of next best singers out their
does anybody know where is this concert??? thank u
matt is back on iced earth??????
did he get tired of being a cop????
lol Matt Barlow was a cop
yeah man, tims work on framing armaggedon is fantastic. dont understand those fights against singers fans... the same stupid thing that happens with kiske and deris... different singers ppl!!!
I like Matt in IE too but Ripper is a great metal vocalist
you guys don't understand Tim is an amazing singer he did an amazing job with the glorious burden, 1 of my favorite albums. Had barlow done it, it woulda been a fail there different both are amazing,a both have a difrent voice Tim can't sing Dracula and Barlow can sing Hold at all costs. Stop being nut hanging fan boys and get a lif
It's normal this song is based on the movie check look the name of the album it's horror show not horror story. show=movie
Hmmm. . . I think this song rocks. But. . . It's based on Coppola's movie, Bram Stoker's Dracula, not the book. When he says the band thinks the author had something deeper in mind. . . The love story in the movie was totally invented by the screenwriter and doesn't come from the book, at all. Stoker was just writing a horror story with some cutting edge tech like blood transfusions and typewriters. Still rocks, though.
lol, my sister reckons if she cant have his awesome hair, shed have him in her bed anyday. she doesnt like my metal but she loves barlow
They look like a Death metal band to you?
