I personally think hes a hypocrite, rather him be true to himself and not play in any band.
Or maybe his mindset changed and he wanted to do it again? I'm pretty sure you're not him, so I doubt you really know what would be "true to himself"
So you're saying he's human?He still said what he said, and went against it.
So you're saying he's human?
I doubt there's anyone on this board that hasn't reconsidered a major decision they've made...a lot of us don't get the chance to undo that decision, Matt got that chance and whatever his motives may be or whatever caused his change of heart, he decided that being in Iced Earth was right for him. Personally, I'm excited he's back, but even if I wasn't, I'd be hard pressed to come up with justification for calling him a hypocrite.
He hasnt said anything regarding his comments he made when leaving IE, hes a hypocrite it's simple.
As far as I know, he hasn't said anything at all about coming back to Iced Earth.
He hasnt said anything regarding his comments he made when leaving IE, hes a hypocrite it's simple. If a politcian is a hypocrite you guys dont vote etc, but if hes a vocalist in a band you like alot you easily dismiss it
:zombie::zombie:
honestly is it a sin to change your mind?
you know politicians and musicians are two different things.
matt barlow being flexible on his position to leave music or to stay with it is one thing, but a politicians position on the iraq war isnt something he can just change his mind on and have supporters.
matt probably just got to missing the music scene and wanted back in, wow what an asshole right?
I love it, Matt is my fav. lead singer ever. Thank the Gods.
Feel free to discuss!
I'm a person who believes in a strong moral code, I don't like people who go against their word, no matter how large the situation.
Ever heard of:
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.) - Walt Whitman
It's quite human to go back on an opinion.
Point is...it's not the end of the world that a musician decided he missed the music. Oh noez!
I'm still quite confused as to what exactly he was a 'hypocrite' about. What EXACTLY did he say and 'go against' that's royally pissing you off? You can whine and complain all you want but until you're specific about what exactly is making you pissy no one is really going to take you seriously. lol
Here's a difference in a band.
I dont like this band their vocals I cant stand....time later...wow this band is good, I can get into now - hypocrite? NO
I dont like this band, I WILL NEVER GET INTO THIS BAND THEY ARE CRAP.....time later...wow this band is great love em - hypcocrite? YES!
did none of you read his comments when he left IE? For one I felt it was very condescending of how he portrayed the 'rock star allusion' of playing in a band and he said he wanted to do something with his life, which is why he went into law enforcement. Then couple years later he comes back.
