What a gifted voice. His voice character is unbelievable. Perfect for metal. Perfect baritone and timbre for the genre really. It's sad what happened to Iced Earth.
T FP “Iced Earth” was spot on in pitch. I still think he’s was the best fit for this band. Ripper comes next but his live performance wasn’t always the best.
@@TomPark1986 What he lacks in control he more than makes up with power. He's definitely not the most technically gifted Iced Earth vocalist but I would say he's the best-sounding.
True privilege to have been present at that event. This guy is such an underground legend. He needs WAY more recognition for what he has done for the metal community
Matt Barlow and underground legend? He is the most recognised singer of one of the best heavy metal best bands in the world! If that is not enough recognition, I don't know what
There are so many underrated singers in the world! I know so many awesome ones never spoke of!!!! I have all type of groups who are awesome and never talked about! But I would say he was very pitchy in this video...maybe he was too sad to go cause he was singing really bad!!! Matt Barlow does have it going on usually...he is fucked up here!
I do like Stu, and for me Incorruptible is an absolutelly amazing album, but when we come back to Barlow backyard, holy crap, this is the man, terrific voice and charisma, second to none. The one and only best of all time.
I love matt Barlow's voice so much and miss this iced earth but glad he got to do the cop thing and be closer and their for his family. Tim wasn't a bad singer either but who could really replace matt Barlow? Nobody, that's who 😎🤘🔥❤👏
He's really the best! Towards the end of "I died for you" he sings in tune. I guess those in ears were malfunctioning or the audio guy did something wrong 😅
Iced earth is definitely in my top 5 bands, I've loved them ever since someone on mIRC suggested them to me after i thought I was hot shit trying to find korn songs to download in a chat room. They suggested "Angels Holocaust" and "Stormrider" to me at the time and i was immediately hooked. Bought "Days of Purgatory" from harmony house the next day. One of the best metal albums ever even though it's a compilation.
J'ai vu ça live, les grands yeux pleins d'eau, pis même quand je l'réécoute jdeviens bin émotif! Wow it was a farewell to one of metal's most epic vocalist.
All of the shows from wacken seem to have incredible mixing and audio quality. Wish I was there. That first tune reminded me of the early queensryche, when they were good, rage for order days. Just discovered iced earth recently and love it.
Lmao we both know that aint happening, there’s already been articles that make mention of witness protection. Why would someone pardon his dumbass? he’d have a huge target painted on him
Matt Barlow from everything i know left Iced earth because he wanted to do something good. Nothing probably bothers him more than the Shit that Jon is getting now.
Damn Jon is down-picking "The hunter"... It's an average difficulty song when you alternate pick the 6th string, but doown-picking everything is madness...
@@HandOfMetal People can be disappointed by him and capitol event. But I hope those people are disappointed by artists supporting BLM and their riots too.
Ripper was awesome on Framing Armageddon, but I really did not like the glorious burden, it all felt out of place and like it was recorded in the 80's. Framing was unique and an amazing album on the whole. I felt good about Iced earth's future at that point and thought they were really coming together That said, Barlow is without a doubt the true sound of Iced earth. He is who i think of and the one who made their sound. Schaffer is obviously an amazing songwriter and it's his band but I feel like he just rents other members, hires and fires them at will. Doesn't seem like he wants a true band of brothers, just people that do what he says. Barlow was the only other one that seemed to stick and was basically an original member for all intents and purposes. Saw them live a few times with Stu but it's more nostalgia now, can't get into him like the others for some reason.
Shai Hulud yeah Schaffer said in interviews around horror show that everyone is replaceable and the interviewer said Matt can't be and his answer: he is and he knows it... I believe that attitude too caused lots of tension and made him insecure in his place in that band and why he left to do regular work. That Schaffer egomaniac didn't appreciate Matts enormous talent that's why he deserves to be told all the time by the true fans that his band sucks without its singer!
Jon is sitting there in a box for a reason thats hard to undertstand. So please educate me. Why is this guy there? how did he fall so hard and what i would love to know Matts thoughts on this.
I miss the Matt Barlow Iced Earth days. What a badass band.
What a gifted voice. His voice character is unbelievable. Perfect for metal. Perfect baritone and timbre for the genre really. It's sad what happened to Iced Earth.
I hope they will be back... Barlow could return?
to be fair he is totally off the key on i died for you
Barlow was the best ICED EARTH singer and I do miss his voice so much :(
He's off key here though.
Ashes of ares.
T FP yea def on the first song. He had one in ear monitor in until halfway through. But still didn’t help his pitch. “The Hunter” was much better.

It’s sad to think that after 20+ years, there will most likely never be another Iced Earth show. They deserved a good reunion farewell tour 😢
We Loved Iced Motherf**king Earth
agreed - the closest ill have to this was seeing demons and wizards live before the whole... event happened lmao
We miss you, Barlow
Lemmy isGod had the pleasure to see him in 2001 when they opened for Megadeth

I feel like Iced Earth is not really recognised, as well as Matt Barlow, many people don't know about him
@@JohnnyTheGreek91
He's not recognized at all other than by actual metal fans, true metal fans.
I was there too
Only true metalheads knows Iced earth the rest listen slipknot , boybands etc ja
Barlow forever, one of the best bands in 90's
Still great now with Stu, but no one compares to Matt
Such an underrated singer, Barlow, you are AWESOME!
İ think he is the best. Really!!
Yeeep is one of the best vocals. Shame the confederate flag close popularity in the mainstream bands line ups tours.

All hail John Schaffer 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hell yes
Insurrectionist
Racist !
I will never forget how this angelique voice and heart kept me through hard times...this Band and especially Mat is my brothers till death
One of the best metal singers of all time, hands down.
The most emotional singer in heavy metal history. Thanx Mister Barlow you are legend
Warrel Dane is right up there too.
I do like Stu, and for me Incorruptible is an absolutelly amazing album, but when we come back to Barlow backyard, holy crap, this is the man, terrific voice and charisma, second to none. The one and only best of all time.
Phenomenal Matt Barlow
Barlow seu maravilhoso, insubstituível, alecrim dourado que nasceu no campo sem ser semeado, que voz foda
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk q isso.
@@DanielSantos-cr5sx kkkkkkkkkk
John Schafer is a guitar god and a great man for what he believes in
🤣For his believes and actions he will be sentenced in february.
@GladtoAge and that's the sad state of the world. Not fucking funny.
AMEN.
Lol yea he was believing in the power of covering his ass and snitching on others
Best fuckin vocals Iced Earth ever had. Please, bring Matthew back!
That boy Barlow has some damn pipes boy. Him + Iced Earth kicked ass for awhile and I wish him well. And German audiences are dope too man!
Barlow eterna voz do iced earth merecida homenagem
melhor vocal que o mundo ja viu !!!
I miss you Barlow, what a voice. The best voice in metal. ❤️
Awesome band,Awesome guitarist, Awesome singer !!!🤘
What a voice my god
Matt barlow best Iced Earth Singer ever!
I love matt Barlow's voice so much and miss this iced earth but glad he got to do the cop thing and be closer and their for his family. Tim wasn't a bad singer either but who could really replace matt Barlow? Nobody, that's who 😎🤘🔥❤👏
Something tells me you won't be seeing these guys for a while.
Prison for sure
Unfortunately, great performance in the Capitol though!
Uma das primeiras bandas que eu escutei na minha adolescência e mais de 15 anos depois estou aqui ainda curtindo o som dos caras
A rare case when the singer is as good live as in studio (or even beter!)
I absolutely love it when Barlow finds the key at about 2:30. Absolutely badass. No one better.
He's really the best!
Towards the end of "I died for you" he sings in tune.
I guess those in ears were malfunctioning or the audio guy did something wrong 😅
My dream to see them alive did not happen ...but i think i will meet them oneday
MATT.....the best for iced earth...😊😊
My favorite ginger
Best american power metal band of all time!!!!!!
that voice men...Barlow is the best
8:56 I’m not crying .. you’re crying! 😭
Mat is a god of olympus....Respect!!!! Greek Fan!
great band
great voice
Barlow's voice in the hunter is something spectacular!
... And iced earth was never the same unfortunately ..
Great moment. Very emotional afternoon, they deserved a Night slot.
Best metal voice....the best......
when first time i listening Iced earth Alive in Athens.. hes voice sound to me like lion who roarign. Unique voice style

Ohhh the flag of my country! Brazil is metal 😘
I was Very Lucky to see them play at Graspop metal meeting (Belgium) in June 2011 .... Friggin Excellent!!
Love his Voice, Love the Band !!
J'ai vu ça live, les grands yeux pleins d'eau, pis même quand je l'réécoute jdeviens bin émotif! Wow it was a farewell to one of metal's most epic vocalist.
hi
All of the shows from wacken seem to have incredible mixing and audio quality. Wish I was there.
That first tune reminded me of the early queensryche, when they were good, rage for order days. Just discovered iced earth recently and love it.
one unfiled dream... to see barlow live with iced iearth :(((((((((
The only way we will see Iced earth again is “IF” Jon gets a presidential pardon.. So sad 😢
Lmao we both know that aint happening, there’s already been articles that make mention of witness protection. Why would someone pardon his dumbass? he’d have a huge target painted on him
I was theer. I'll never forget this day
9:48 you can the pain in his eyes
With these fans a goodbye for good was definitely an emotional thing.
You see the sadness in his eyes :D :D :D
Please can you remind me why Barlow left again?
@@onerandombruh If I recall, he left due to what happened on 9/11, personal beliefs, think he went on to be trained as a police officer.
@@DJMittag but then came back to the band
This is the best video of iced earth I have found. One of the best heavy metal vids on youtube
Muito bom iced earth com barlow é outro nível, mas também gostava do Tim riper owens, Power metal de qualidade.
Except for Troy, this was one of the strongest lineups in Iced Earth's history! Brent Smedley is amazing on those drums always
Troy is pretty damn good, dude.
Check out Brent's new band called Out of Darkness! 2nd album is coming out soon..... ✌️
Bruce Dickinson é para o Iron Maiden o que o Barlow é para o Iced Earth, insubstituíveis!
Maravilhosa homenagem ao Barlow!!!! Ele merece!!!
hi
Ele sempre sera a cara do Iced earth
05:50 the real Barlow!!
O melhor no comando do Iced,sentiremos falta desse cara
Uai mano
Fala como se o cara tivesse morrido
for once, i was there. beutiful gig. i cryed. for matt. matt is a god
Matt Barlow from everything i know left Iced earth because he wanted to do something good. Nothing probably bothers him more than the Shit that Jon is getting now.
Deadly Smedley is the man! Check out his new band called Out Of Darkness! Metal Lives!! Their second album coming soon!!
Matt Barlow. True Iced Earth.
Bar none, one of the best singers I've ever heard in my life. Period...
I agree
This has been emotional.
Damn Jon is down-picking "The hunter"... It's an average difficulty song when you alternate pick the 6th string, but doown-picking everything is madness...
Barlow é um monstro! Sou um grande fã.
BARLOW! SPAWN! An excellent combo
BARLOW !!!!
It hurts to hear Matt struggle with this so much...
luckily as soon as The Hunter starts he has rediscovered his voice.
If the FBI are looking for john Schaeffer!?...he's here at wacken,Germany!!
Really disappointing to say at least. Then again after seeing the bandanna he is wearing on this gig I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
@@HandOfMetal People can be disappointed by him and capitol event. But I hope those people are disappointed by artists supporting BLM and their riots too.
@@mansonslayer9402 👏👏
@@mansonslayer9402 how dumb to put both on the same level. Those are terrorist who want to dominate others. They are like ISIS not like BLM
@@slayerslayer7805 coming from the guy who’s name and pic is from a band that sang about Nazi crap.
Barlow vocal fóda pra karalho🤘
Barlow was awesome but I have liked all the singers so far every song these guys do is epic
Uno de los mejores vocales del metal de todos los tiempos
Matt barlow..voice✊👍
miss you Barloww:(
So sad when Jon says it's Matt's last day with the band 😢
Wow Barlow!!
Great singer
there is no better live performance recorded than live athens
Miss you so much matt fucking barlow, i saw a iced Eather concert months ago for this show em Curitiba Brazil, it was amazing show, i never forgot.
i kinda love matt but with his short hair i can easily imagine him with a uniform...he has a cop face :)
garrett156 I hope Barlow pulls me over
Drinking coffee & eating donuts during a night shift!!!! Hahahahaha!!!
garrett156 Barlow is a cop. No shit look it up. (Also search yt for: "Matt Barlow star sprangled banner" you can see him in his uniform there)
Yea one those asshole cop faces
@@johnstonedavis9269 . Bet you had drugs and got busted by one lmfao
at least i got to see them with Barlow before he left for good
by far the best Iced Earth line up.
despedida de un grande
hi
Awesome 🇺🇸💥🔥
I was there. Please let this FOREVER online.
15:15 not sure that's how guitars work
😂
Only for acoustic guitar! 😁
I laughed way more than I sould have at this. 😂
🤣
give him a break, hes a lead singer 😂
I love Stu, but I miss Matt’s soulful voice.
Matt rules... greetings from Greece
what an emotional ending!! :(
R.I.P. Schaffer
R.I.P. Iced Earth
iced earth die with barlow's voice for me! a real tragedy fuck!
He is / was definitely a good one!
hi
Independente dos erros cometidos pelo Jon, o cara é um grande músico, o legado do Iced Earth permanece!
Que erro? 😂
@@vivaolivremercado4047 depende do ponto de vista haha
A lot of Paul Stanley in his voice.
That's what I've always thought!
And after that IE was never the same again.
Matthew was to IE what salt is to food.
Without it its just not as good.
every album has its identity, I can't say I don't like their latest album, they still have powerful vocals
