This is great news. Matt definitley has more range, depth, and passion than Tim. As for Tim being "mistreated" I don't see it. John waited until they were done with schedueled tour dates (if he had this in mind before they finished), they had nothing else planned for 07. So, now '08 will begin with Matt on the new IE and Pyramaze. From what I understand Tim has a new Beyond Fear and Wintersbane in the works for '08. So, it's not like Tim was just left flat on his ass mid-tour.

I find it hart to feel too sorry for someone who has been in Judas Priest and Iced Earth.
I see your point but the I read it Jon comes out looking like a guy who was never satisfied with the singer he chose to replace Barlow, and let it be known to the world.

It doesn't matter whether or not he was in Priest or Iced Earth. If anything, it only makes things more difficult for him. He is one of the better vocalists in the metal scene, yet many metalheads always bash him, and won't really bother with the music he puts out, regardless of how good it may or may not be.
That may have been bad judgement on his part by trying to replace vocalists that were part of both band's signature sound, but it still won't help him.He was definitely mistreated. Jon was constantly talking down on his songwriting capabilities to the press (kind of hypocritical as far as I'm concerned) and acting like it was Tim's privilege to be in Iced Earth. Keeping him on long enough to take care of any tours, or to finish the recording, doesn't mean that he wasn't mistreated. It just means that there was some small level of professional courtesy.
Go on Blabbermouth and look up some of the interviews they posted from Jon and Tim. You can also look some up on Google

Matt definitley has more range, depth, and passion than Tim.I disagree 75%. Tim schools Matt on the range and depth. Passion is a matter of choice and I think both have their merrits.

| Tim and Barlow are both amazing vocalists so I'm not going to join in this debate. This is great news though!! | | | |
