Larry Grohman built them.... He's using Marshalls now, I believe. His tone sucks now too. Sounds thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amp Builder from Europe. I have searched for years to get one....but to no luck. I know Olaf posted those pics of some Larry amps a few weeks ago....the "British" and one other. The work looked incredible!!! John got one right after Days of Purgatory and used it after that on Something Wicked and Horror Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maiden_fan Posted August 6, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2005 3 disk, im half way through the second disk. Stormrider! that riff owns me. Funny thing, i bought and went to work, i do cleaning part time to fund my guitar and cd buying habits. Well they have this killer sound system for doing slideshows to clients and stuff. Well i got there, and was trying to figure out how to use it turned the volume up way loud, then realised i was on the wrong channel. Switched and got blinded by the heaviest sound ever my ears were literally ringing for 10 mins lol. tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious Buden was okay.....Not spectacular....but okay. Barlow is Iced Earth to me....Schaffer will always put out good stuff....Even Demons & Wizards stuff is good.

Members guitarist17 Posted August 6, 2005 Members Share Posted August 6, 2005 Iced Earth= Matt Barlow (with of course shcaeffer ) I have not, and will not listen to iced earth since barlow left the band, it just isn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Megadeth7684 Posted August 6, 2005 Members Share Posted August 6, 2005 I've always loved Schaffers tone, so crushing and powerful. I don't like Ripper in that band, he sounds just like Rob Halford, I just don't like him in Iced Earth. I'd rather they got their first singer back, whatever his name was, he sounded like a witch. Barlow was clearly their best singer, he needs to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doomsdaymachine Posted August 6, 2005 Members Share Posted August 6, 2005 Originally posted by maiden_fan What did you all think of the latest album with Tim Owens on vocals? Thought it was weak, and thought Schaffer's tone sucked. I have the new Demons And Wizards, and his tone is thin, to say the least. It sounds weak too. Barlow leaving was the end of Iced Earth. I believe he left to persue his career as a corrections officer, which he's been educated in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -=MYK=- Posted October 21, 2005 Members Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm not going to even read your post. You need to sell your amp(s), and just get an ENGL Blackmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
