What are your opinions on Tim "Ripper" Owens? Do you think he was thrown out of the band too early? Do you think he shouldv'e finished the Something Wicked saga? Was he the best Iced Earth singer? Your thoughts...

i would have been fine with the idea of Owens staying in Iced Earth. Though I always wanted to see Barlow live so basically i want my cake and eat it too.

whatever happens, happens.

They had similar attributes with either focusing on the opposites major strength.

The fact that Barlow has had the most material with Iced Earth makes him the best singer for Iced Earth. Just because his voice is recognized.
Comparing them in skill is like apples and oranges. if you like fruit (metal lol) youll like both.

matts voice just is soo in your face and brutal,
like jon said he followed the bass and drums more
as where tim flowed with the guitar better.
tim indeed had a good voice.
he could have done more with the saga yet i still love it soo much with matt.

soo im basically agreeing with the guy above me.
if you like fruit you'll like them both.

I would've liked to see Owens stay for longer, Even though I prefer Barlow.
It would've been nice to see what else he had to offer.

But like The Wicked One said, I reeeeallly want to see Barlow play.
