We rule.
I'm listening to Matt Barlow era Iced Earth right now. Do you want to know why? I fucking TALKED to him last night!
So, I'm guessing you Iced Earth fans know that he now works at the Georgetown Police Department in Delaware and has a band with the police force or something. My friends tracked down the number for the department a while back, and we've always contemplated calling him. We did once, last time we all got drunk together, but he was out on patrol.
Last night, we were all greatly drunk once again. We have a tradition of making elaborate, hysterical prank phone calls when drinking together, but I thought of trying good ole' Barlow again. I asked for the phone, and it was ringing. There was an answer: "Georgetown Police Department, Officer Barlow speaking." Being stinking drunk, I asked if Officer Matt Barlow was there. Of course, he replied that I was indeed speaking to officer Matt Barlow.
My friends and I all passed the phone around, telling him how awesome he was in Iced Earth and how Iced Earth got us all into metal. He was mostly modest about it, saying stuff like, "that's cool man". We let him get back to work after a couple of minutes, but we hope we resparked something in him. We hope he finds his calling again. \m/

Country pride or something. I think he eventually wants to fight terrorism. |

Kick ass. You should call him again when you are sober and interview him or something, ask him some good questions, like will he please come down to Florida and sing for my crappy band so that we may be worthy? hahaha.
Seriously, though, you ought to call him and ask him about why he quit the band and about the music and shit and maybe suggest he does some solo stuff on the side. Iced Earth only kicked ass while he was there, because he was there. While the Glorious Burden has some pretty cool and original, (as hard to believe as that is), riffs and decent lyrics, the Ripper's constant screeching noises just ruin it for me.
You're not in Priest any more you fucking asshole, you can stop immitating Halford now!!!

The best metalheads are always modest. Though I wouldn't bother with asking for a interview while he's at work; he's busy now, and I seriously doubt he wants to talk about Iced Earth anymore.
