@@madelinet.5983 Thats actually pretty rude of you because Stu is Second place. Hes almost as good as Barlow was especially on songs he wrote. Iced Earth has had 5 singers over the years, and there are only 2 that ive complimented endlessly. The only Matt Barlow, and Stu Block too. They were both excellent.
What a singer!! WHAT A F*CKING SINGER!!! Amazing voice: strength, emotions, technique and drive! Can't believe they made this great song turn even better live than it was already on the album! (Or at least as good which is already hard to do)
And what to say about Schaffer? The dude is probably the very best metal rhythm guitarist ever. That right hand simply screams perfection! The guy´s a Monster when it comes to rhythms! He is a Monster metal player! \m/
I still prefer Schaffer´s dynamics and right hand technique. He plays rhythms in a more "organic" way. With not much distortion to it - considering the metal band he is in and the sounds he achieves. The heaviness comes from his attack. I believe he has got more diversity in his right hand. The dude can play tight stuff , with an unmistakable attack like no other. Love his playing! Preferences. Marcus Siepen can also play great. I just prefer Jon´s approach and rhythm tightness.
I think Matt is underappreciated even in the Metal community. He's so god damn good; there's a character to his voice that is unlike any other I can think of. He's like if you gave a lot more range to Peter Steele. He's able to hit the high notes without losing the power of his voice and he doesn't have to growl or get guttural when he goes low (especially in studio).
His voice is like thunder. . . .hits hard on the lows and highs.He has been my favorite vocalist for years. Most re entry the dude from Powerwolf is there for me too
Matt isnt unappreicated at all, Especially among fans of this band. Everyone says he was the best IE singer. The guy who was probably most unapprieciated would have to be Stu Block. The dude was amazing but constantly had to hear all of the comparisons to Matt or Tim Owens. But hes actually a good combination of both of their voices and is also the best on Iced Earth songs or albums that he wrote like Black Flag. On those nobody can really compare him to the other two because he was his own.
I saw I.E. in '08 & '10 w/this lineup, & had VIP tix, so my now ex gf & I met them both times! They are very cool to their fans, I have to say! Just all so cool & nice!
i'm so thankful I got to see Iced Earth live on Barlow's last tour. No other vocalist has been as good as him, before or since. Easily one of the best metal vocalists alive.
To me Barlow is the most underrated metal singer ever. Able to growl, sing and scream, not everybody can fuckin do that on his level. Matt Fuckin Barlow!
And now they got Stu Block and I heard the 2013 live version of it ua-cam.com/video/-9ScQ7SNeJg/v-deo.html To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. In addition the bad solo at 3:20 with even the missing background choir. And at 8th minute he apparently does better shut up lol.. Stu is ok on the current albums, but Dante's Inferno was a big disappointment to me. And honestly I like the older albums much much more. Because of much more unique songs.
S W Great singer. But he has no stage persona. Talks very bluntly, almost doesn't look at the audience, barely walks around... His voice does all the job though. At least he moves more than Ripper Owens who stays like a statue all song long.
I remember years back going to a Megadeth concert in Rockford IL, when I was in high school, and Iced Earth opened for them. I'd never heard of them at the time, and was completely blown away by them. I honestly wouldn't have cared if they kept playing instead of Megadeth. However, that was one of the best Megadeth concerts I have ever seen also. lol GREAT FUCKING BAND!!
To the lord vampire, to the pagan master, to Saruman the great magician, to the great Carlomagne conceptual master Metal tracks, to such talented roles and deep voice, your echoes will last forever, rest in pieace Lord Christopher Lee, your blood will be eternal!
He is a real singer! its a difficult song to play in live but his plays this song and seems its easily, great job for this guy! and their band! Iced the best!
FUCK !! This is FUCKING AWESOME... this song live... when you ear a song done in a live show that gives to you more than the album version... you know what it mean... THIS BAND IS GREAT !!
When I first saw Iced Earth play this track live in 2002 I thought how is Matthew gonna pull the extended screams . Well he focused in poised himself and nailed it . I knew it would get easier for him over the years . Talk about being proved right .
Dracula is one of Iced Earth's most Gothic songs, it is a killer track live. I heard Ripper sing this one when they played at The Metro in 2004. Ripper nailed Dracula. This is the first track I heard from Iced Earth then I heard The Something Wicked Trilogy and Dante's Inferno. This is a shorter track by Iced Earth but it is an epic track in its short nature.
Man this is truly sheer power, fucking Matt... Simply amazing, this song is hard as fuck to sing and he fucking nailed. What a great album Horror Show is.
Hmm,very underrated band in terms of quality of studio songs and extremly real live performances,i mean Matt Barlow is probably,well for me surely best Metal vocalist of all times,my respects to Dio hes basically a god,but Barlow's voice is just something else,such originality and power and technique i'm left speachless. Awesome band!
1. Bruce Dickinson 2. Michael Kiske 3. DC Cooper 4. Geoff Tate 5. Ronnie James Dio 6. Matt Barlow 7. Rob Halford 8. King Diamond 9. Joey Tempest 10. Don Dokken :)
Who is listening in 2024?
Opa presente Brasil !
Good songs are timeless
Cirão ladrão metaleiro KKKKKKKKK
I’m gonna come back to like your comment tomorrow, so that we can both listen to that song again tomorrow 🤘🏻
All the cool people😊
Very difficult song to sing live...He is amazing
this song reminds me of Painkiller by Judas priest!
+Iron Maiden666 I can see that towards the middle of the song
whaaaat!!!!!!!!!!
They are completely different songs bear no resemblance
Byron Cimino he means in terms of high notes through most of the song
One of the harder Metal songs to sing, I imagine
Man, I really miss the old Iced Earth.. Matt is true legend and one of the grestest vocalist in the universe
Stu Block posted a pic of the band and I commented "where is Matt Barlow" and he got so butt blasted he told me to come to a show and fight him lmao
@@madelinet.5983 that's pretty fuckin hilarious.

This is the best song about Dracula ever made.
Screw that, this is one of the best songs ever made, period.
clearly you haven't heard Dantes Inferno, the wicked trilogy (Prophecy - Birth Of The Wiked - The Coming Curse), Melancholy and many others.
Matt fucking Barlow bitches!!!
The best singer ever!
+kyriboyg couldnt agree more.
kyriboyg. barlow is a metal god i wish hed rejoin iced earth
Buen tema
Barlow é um monstro o cara e sensacional heavy metal
Matt Barlow is a fucking god.
Matt Barlow will always be my favorite vocalist !!!
Por quê ele saiu do Iced Earth?!
He fucking nailed it !!!
What a singer!! WHAT A F*CKING SINGER!!! Amazing voice: strength, emotions, technique and drive! Can't believe they made this great song turn even better live than it was already on the album! (Or at least as good which is already hard to do)
Sure!
i friggin love matt barlow man he's an amazing vocalist
And Jon really killed those backing vocals on the chorus!
I wish I could sing as good as Matt, he's absolutely incredible in my opinion. He's one of the greatest we've ever had in metal.
@@JelloFluoride yes
You feel the sadness, the anguish, the torment and rage of an immortal who longs for the love he'll never have again.
I love how Matt delivered the "The Order of the Dragon, I feed on human life." So intense.
Safe Roofing
Fuck yes, I agree that was an incredible part.
The best part!
Rolling thru the comments at this very moment. Agreed 100%
Matthew Barlow you are a true singer, do what you do Live is not for regular singers, you are a fucking monster.
And what to say about Schaffer? The dude is probably the very best metal rhythm guitarist ever. That right hand simply screams perfection! The guy´s a Monster when it comes to rhythms! He is a Monster metal player! \m/
Ricardo Silva not till Marcus siepen from BG will play

Preferences. Marcus Siepen can also play great. I just prefer Jon´s approach and rhythm tightness.
Mustaine kicksass! Badass player also!
He also does well on lead guitar. But he prefers being a rhythm, because this is what makes the song what it is. Not the guitar solos.
Not to mention one of metals greatest song writers.
I think Matt is underappreciated even in the Metal community. He's so god damn good; there's a character to his voice that is unlike any other I can think of.

Matt is actually amongst the to 10 greatest vocalist in the whole of metal in my opinion
He's an INCREDIBLE singer
Best vocal of iced earth...
Matt's vocals to me are just perfect and most important, emotional! You actually feel the song subject's frustration and anger! Matt rules!
I’m 17 years old and I ver like this band and song! I very love metal and rock! Hello from Ukraine
coolest band and most underrated in the world
I saw I.E. in '08 & '10 w/this lineup, & had VIP tix, so my now ex gf & I met them both times! They are very cool to their fans, I have to say! Just all so cool & nice!
best Iced Earth Song
true
Best Iced Earth Singer
I like Damian too. All this album is pure magic.
Question of Heaven is best IMO
after a question of heaven xd
Quite simply, the best metal voice of the 90s
What is he doing with his voice ?!?!!? Damn! He's the best metal singer of all times and that's that!
This Is awesome, just as cool live as the studio version, anyone agree? Still listening In 2020?
Yes! I agree!
I actually prefer listening to live versions of some of their songs over the studio ones. Watching Over Me from Alive In Athens, for example.
i'm so thankful I got to see Iced Earth live on Barlow's last tour. No other vocalist has been as good as him, before or since. Easily one of the best metal vocalists alive.
Me too brother. Fucking legend
Fucking legend, god singer
Holy shit, this is awesome! Barlow is a fucking powerhouse!
One of their most emotional songs, and one of the best ones. Very good guys!
Iced Earth is amazing! They're so underrated... =/
I don't think so
@@raphaelrampinelli4864 your opinion, anyway
🇧🇷🐿️ Not really, they used to be pretty popular in Brazilian underground scene
perfect vocal 🤘🤘
Mat is a god of olympus....Respect!!!! Greek Fan!
Matt Barlow Rocks!!! Perfect!!!
Ein einziges Mal euch treffen, ein Traum
You need to see to believe, that all of these voices come out of the same throat...
This song is as good as Metal gets. Matt Barlow juxt knocks it out of the park.
Und das live,Leute die Stimme,einfach nur mega
not many singers can do this live....!
not even some of the best names
To me Barlow is the most underrated metal singer ever. Able to growl, sing and scream, not everybody can fuckin do that on his level. Matt Fuckin Barlow!
And now they got Stu Block and I heard the 2013 live version of it

dude bows at the alter of Eric Adams
Who else has tried to sing it besides the ripper and stu

GREAT FUCKING BAND!!
Who can dislike this awesome vocal and lyrics? :(
I love Matt Barlow, he has such nice low vocals, but at the same time, KILLER HIGH ONES!!
Matt Barlow is such a underrated singer, he is one of the best ive ever seen
This song is just so passionate and powerful. I cannot stop listening to it. And holy crap, I cannot believe how good this is live.
Wonderful rendition, great track, superb tribute, awesome band! RIP Christopher Lee!

FUCK !! This is FUCKING AWESOME... this song live... when you ear a song done in a live show that gives to you more than the album version... you know what it mean... THIS BAND IS GREAT !!
Alessandro P Totally agree, try listening to Tool-Pushit Live... Mindblowing!!

the best group is the ICED EARTH!!!!! DRACULA is the best song in the World!!
what a voice perfect
Matt Barlow, a true fucking man, gentlemen!
Incredible voice...
I am somewhere here in the front rows. I even saw myself on the DVD
When I first saw Iced Earth play this track live in 2002 I thought how is Matthew gonna pull the extended screams . Well he focused in poised himself and nailed it . I knew it would get easier for him over the years . Talk about being proved right .
Um dos melhores vocalistas que já ouvi , em estúdio ou ao vivo o cara e foda !!!
It's one thing to have that kind of range. It's another to do them good with that kind of power, and live to boot. Freaking amazing.
Amazing vocals live. This band never got the recognition it always deserved.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but Freddie and Jon made a fucking awesome backing vocals duet.
Very unique and powerful vocals, my favorite song!
Fantastic !!!
Greatest band of all time along with being the greatest live performers ever to have graced the stage!!
the most amazing live performance i think,and bloody hell the way he says "the order of the dragon"!!!
barlow is phenomenal! the way he can swich hes voice at 3.21....woow
one of the best albums !
Schaffer´s guitar sounds fuckin´amazing! This is metal at it´s purest form!
Incredible song, incredible vocals.
And this is why Metal Fucking Rules!!!! Nothing but talented insane singers and musicians!!! Forever/Metal!!!!!
Such bloody intensity they conjure here!!!! WOW ad infinitum........
Dracula is one of Iced Earth's most Gothic songs, it is a killer track live. I heard Ripper sing this one when they played at The Metro in 2004. Ripper nailed Dracula. This is the first track I heard from Iced Earth then I heard The Something Wicked Trilogy and Dante's Inferno. This is a shorter track by Iced Earth but it is an epic track in its short nature.
I love this song! One of the best Iced Earth songs!
I was here third row, in front... \m/, great concert
i am the dragon of blood,

These guys have been leaving me in goosebumps for over 6 years... Still does to this day!...

Man this is truly sheer power, fucking Matt... Simply amazing, this song is hard as fuck to sing and he fucking nailed. What a great album Horror Show is.
this song is a masterpiece, it really is, what an amazing performance
Canta demais, pqp... esse som é um dos melhores.. Na "Wolf" ele também destrói...
Barlow é um dos melhores cara
Peak Iced Earth. What an excellent song.
Great song. I have no idea how anyone could sing like that live.
Don't forget the drummer..so good 🤘🤘
Deadly Smedly!
Nah man. Richard Christy’s version is better. There is too much added to this. And you can’t beat the double bass drum from Christy.
Amazing quality!!!
Hmm,very underrated band in terms of quality of studio songs and extremly real live performances,i mean Matt Barlow is probably,well for me surely best Metal vocalist of all times,my respects to Dio hes basically a god,but Barlow's voice is just something else,such originality and power and technique i'm left speachless.

Why you count in rob halford? He is just weird style no real power in that voice and he only had it for few years. Good list tho.
Hansi Kursch!
hahahahahahahahaha what someone can read on the internet. Rob Halford is the epitome of Heavy Metal.
I'd throw Tim Owens on that list as well
When i close my eyes...
Bad Ass ... Skips so fast it has flames down the side. Smoking.
He's very good singer and song is brilliant.
very difficult song well-executed for sure, live, uncut, real, raw.
Perfeito!!!
La voz de este cantante es increíble en vivo de los mejores
Iced Earth is the best metal band in live performance
This kind of shit makes your spine chill! amazing band I will love forever.
Amazing performance!
