As of right now, I only have "Horror Show" and I'm kicking myself for not checking this band out sooner.

1. No flamewars, they never get anything accomplished.
4. Don't be a jerk like me and pop in to any topic you like about a band you hate, and then talk about how lame the band is. Take that shit elsewhere.

You know those are a very good rules.There should be a disciplinary committee making sure the rules aren't violated.
Holy_Terror, if you really hate Iced Earth you should say it once and be done with it.
And WiC try not to get so excited when someone does not agree with you or simply has different views about a band.

Try to be more civilized for God's sake.Why does everyone has the urge to insult someone he doens't even know ?

Buddy, those are only my rules for the Alt. Metal and Other Borderline Genres forum. I have no power here, none whatsoever.

Sucks, doesn't it? I would lock this topic, it's fucking lame thanks to Holy_Terror and WiC. Cut it out guys, this isn't a kindergarten playground. Both of you are adults, try acting like it.

I mean, shit, Holy_Terror, I like talking to you and reading your posts most of the time- You know your thrash, and you're pretty funny. But quit doing this, it really helps nobody and makes thrash look bad by association.

And come on, songs like Meloncholy and Watching over me. THose are fucking pop songs.

Come on, how retarded is that! Pop music in 2005 is Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Michelle Branch, shit like that. There are NO Iced Earth songs that even closely resemble that shit!

If anything, those songs are rock-oriented, they are not pop! The fact is, some of you're just too close-minded to dig on something a little different!

We used the drum fill from Where Eagles Dare to open a song. It was meant as a tribute, and its still meant in that way. The fact that you couldnt even name the Maiden song shows how much you know. And you're right, it 100% is a Maiden fill, but again, in case you missed it, it was done on purpouse, and I even got Bruce Dickinson's blessing, for he has his own copy of the demo.

Thank you Husker, for not listening.

Oh and ICed Earth is still pure crap. And the cover to the reckoning....its not even that its similar, its the same concept, drawn in the same way, with a zombie in a uniform holding a flag, the only difference is the nationality of the zombie.

they are basically ballads, and I feel pity for those that can't appreciate songs like that.
