I have to admit I have been a fan of Iced Earth for well a long time, and have never heard of Jon Schaffers side band "Sons Of Liberty". I am so upset that I didn't they were amazing! But of course I digress. Iced Earth is one of those few bands that each and every time I see them they just bring a little more. More feeling, more emotion, more everything that makes a great metal band great. I happened to bring two friends with me one of whom never had been to a concert before, to say that Iced Earth was a good "cherry popper" band would do them no justice at all. The kid nearly lost his mind head banging, air guitaring, jumping, singing, and a smile that couldn't be contained, not to mention a little mosh pitting as well (un-willingly at times). It was the full concert experience and I've seen Iced Earth going on 4 times now, and like said before they just keep getting better. Barlows voice untouchable, Schaffers riffs and crowd interaction amazing, this is just a band I will keep coming back to see time after time, in my eyes they can do no wrong as long as they have a live show like they do...PURE... what you hear on record is what you get and a little more. Can't wait for a new album and a new tour because you can bet I'll be at their next show in NY.
