Iced Earth No Longer A 'Band?'
We all know that Iced Earth is the project of Jon Schaffer and will always be so. Many members have come and gone, but it seems like it's just Jon now. James MacDonough left for a brief stint with Megadeth and Tim "Ripper" Owens, though still in the band, is doing his solo stuff with Beyond Fear. It's understandable. Like Jon said, it's hard to be in an underground metal band that has a sole songwriter and doesn't tour much. I think Iced Earth will end up being a 'band' of hired hands. The music will still rock, and that's all that matters...

Maybe it`s better for Iced Earth to stay underground than to go on commercial side. I dunno... that`s just my opinion, and the most important thing for them is to continue make great music.

Agreed.
But Mr. Schaffer DID want the band to succeed, at least to be as big as a major U.S. metal band is. Mabye not Metallica big, but something close. Like Megadeth. I still root for them in whatever they do...

They may be too 'power metal' for a big American invasion. Unless DragonForce make it big in The States...

I don't really understand why there not bigger, they have a lot of elements that appeal to the american audience (thrash, heavy, screaming lyrics) and there a great band.
Meh, as long as they make great music still then I'm happy, I can't wait till there next CD comes out  |

I can see Iced Earth getting far bigger in the next year or so. I'm already noticing it around me. New fans seem to be popping up more and more around here.

I don't think it was ever John's intention to do anything more than sate his ego. He is his number one fan, and his band is nothing more than an exercise in aural masturbation.
