RED BARRAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

I can't listen to TGB without hearing that phrase from Atilla "He did his awful best".

Really Jon? Really?

Zook · « **Reply #421 on:** May 27, 2010, 11:18:45 PM »

Well he did. Didn't you, Attila? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BLUE MAX!

It's a damn good album.

Eh. It's got some good moments. But overall? Nah.

Not really. Once again, has some cool moments, but over all it's by far the most overrated Iced Earth song(s) ever. It drags on and on and on and on and 99% of the time, the orchestra adds nothing.

I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but it just seems like a super long song of some cool ideas but mostly not much.

Barlow wrote the lyrics to Attila, so take it up with him.

Zook · « **Reply #427 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:24:35 PM »

He also wrote the lyrics to Dragon's Child. No one said he was Shakespeare.

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #428 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:43:32 PM »

Dragon's Child rules

The melody lines are awesome. And, I mean, it's a metal song about the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Its about as epic as its gonna get with that kind of restriction.

Zook · « **Reply #429 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:50:37 PM »

I don't know. It always bothered me how many times ''they've'' is repeated.

He did? Fine, he can't write lyrics EVER again now.

Settled and done.

I like Attila. Not for it's lyrics, I just like the song.

The chorus is cool and the intro is cool, but the verse is the same as most of the other verses on that album. Even though appearently I'm the only one who thinks most of the verses on that album are samey.

Did anyone manage to pick up the Box of the Wicked, if so what's the packaging like?

Zook · « **Reply #434 on:** June 26, 2010, 07:22:56 PM »

Seeing how all the contents minus the bonus disc have been previously released, I'd say its probably just a slip case of some sort.

Adami · « **Reply #435 on:** June 26, 2010, 07:35:30 PM »

Yea, I was hoping it would be more than just........a collection of previously released disks.

Pretty sure it's Framing Armagedon, Crucible of Man and the re-recordings both Ripper and Barlow did of each others songs that were already released. It might also have anti-government leaflet thrown in there, dunno.

Zook · « **Reply #438 on:** June 26, 2010, 09:37:00 PM »

Overture of the Wicked, Framing Armageddon, I Walk Among You, The Crucible Of Man and a bonus disc. Even the bonus disc has nothing new on it.

Adami · « **Reply #439 on:** June 26, 2010, 09:38:50 PM »

Such a pointless release......

It really is an obvious cash grab, I actually saw a copy in store today and it really didn't look anything special, just a crappy foldout looking box, nothing really nice about it. Trust Schaffer to try and screw us again.

Zook · « **Reply #441 on:** June 27, 2010, 05:14:48 AM »

I think it's a cash grab on SPV's part, not Jon's.

You could be quite correct about that.

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #443 on:** June 27, 2010, 11:14:24 AM »

But Jon is supportive of the release. He has mentioned it in past interviews, in reference to him putting it together. Whenever Century Media put out shit he didn't approve of, he voiced himself to the public about it.

Adami · « **Reply #444 on:** June 27, 2010, 12:12:15 PM »

I gained a crap ton of respect for Jon when he spoke out against the Live in Athens DvD. Granted I bought it anyway, and I'm glad I did, it was awesome to see him publicly tell his fans not to buy the DVD.

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #445 on:** June 27, 2010, 05:16:41 PM »

As did I. I am looking forward to the Festival of the Wicked DVD though. Just to have the entire Wacken show with Ripper.

Woahhhhh what?

Tell me of this DVD. Every detail. Or link me. Or finger bang bang me every night.

Zook · « **Reply #447 on:** June 27, 2010, 08:35:06 PM »

Don't get too excited. It's like 3 shows including the 2008 Graspop FM broadcast. 2 Barlow gigs and Ripper's Wacken gig. All with basically the same set list. I think theres some extras thrown in like backstage stuff.

Adami · « **Reply #448 on:** June 27, 2010, 09:13:55 PM »

Oh, so it's like a Chaos in Motion for Iced Earth? Why can't they put on a DVD show? One with huge production and a super long set list. Or just do what they did for Athens, 3 or so nights in one city, changing set lists and so forth. I'd cum buckets of angels piss.

Zook · « **Reply #449 on:** June 27, 2010, 09:37:22 PM »

FEAR THE ANGELS BUCKET PISS, THEY'RE CUUUUMING!

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #450 on:** June 27, 2010, 10:53:51 PM »

I enjoy Iced Earth humor.

I settled on buying concert DVDs a while back...actually, DVDs in general, as my collection is just getting too big and never get around to watching enough of them. The last concert DVD I got was the Exodus Shovel Headed Tour Machine one, which is a fucking awesome set. Although I'm not in full gung ho Iced Earth mode, depending on the price, I may grab this. I have the Alive in Athens disc, as well as the Gettsyburg one and a few bootleg shows. But like I've expressed, my interest has waned with these guys. I'd be getting it mostly for Tim's appearance...although I have no idea if he'd be getting any cut of the profits.

Birch Boy · « **Reply #451 on:** June 27, 2010, 10:55:11 PM »

I WANTED TO GET THAT EXODUS DVD, BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY.

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #452 on:** June 27, 2010, 10:58:14 PM »

I found it used the week it came out for 15 bucks. Well worth it for a 3 disc set.

I picked it up this weekend (only had The Crucible of Man, so I figured why not).

The previously-released CDs all are in their original CD packaging. The bonus disc is in a slipcase. There also is a small poster and a booklet the size of a standard CD book that expains the Something Wicked concept. Not having four of the five CDs, was it worth it? Probably paid a bit more than I should have ($30) but it quickly filled in a few holes of the many, many holes in my Iced Earth collection. Can't wait to see them again in September...
