Stu seems to be getting better with the live material, but what makes me happiest is that Troy has really upped his game this tour. In all the videos I've seen so far, he's nailed the solos.

I'll have to look these videos up then, because Troy botching the solos was one of the things that really stood out on the Festivals of the Wicked DVD. He'd get so close to playing them perfect and then get to the last bits and go off into orbit somewhere.  :lol

Sweet, the Raleigh show is during Spring Break, which means I don't have to worry about interfering with my teaching obligations, and I can stay at my dad's.

So does anyone know what's up with the tour? Like, are they playing a two hour set each? Or are they playing for one hour each? Anyone know??

Well, from what you're asking, I gather you assumed it would be two sets? It wasn't, it was a one continuous show.

Mike LePond of Symphony X told me on Facebook that each band gets 75 minutes, and they swap closing the night.

Just found this on John Greely's youtube channel. Apparently it's really him. Here's his response to why he parted ways with Iced Earth:

False acusations were used instead of payments for my performance is the reason for the B.S. on the web and just plain stupidity none of it was true I just wanted my fair share of anything we earned..for the record I was never paid a dime for anything I did still to this day

In other news, bass player Freddie Vidales has announced he will leave the band after the Chinese shows this April. Due to the bands massive touring commitments there was immediate need for a replacement and Luke Appleton (of Fury UK, with whom ICED EARTH toured in Europe last winter) has stepped up to the plate and will be joining the tour in time for the show in India.

GOD DAMNIT!

Wow.. I really thought this lineup would be going for a while. But, it's Iced Earth we're talking about, so im not sure why i was shocked to hear this  :lol
Sad though. Freddie seems really cool! I remember seeing them in Oslo a few years back, and Freddie gave me eye-contact all night, and gave me high-fives at the end of the show. They played a split-gig with Saxon, so i think he thought it was cool that i was like one of ten people in the crowd who knew all the words to their songs  :P
