he now sings for the "First State Force Band"

http://www.firststateforce.org/band.html

now, why on Earth did he leave Iced Earth?

probably because he was sick of jon bossing him around.

one of my friends told me the other day he was singing for Ynwie malmsteen, but ive found no evidence to support that.

I don't know where he'd find time to do that seeing as he's a cop now

how did you come across this any way

my friend sent me the link, I don't know where he found it from though, but, throw some long read hair and a goatee on that pic and that's definately the Matt Barlow we all knew of

Awesome. I've seen that link before and then forgot what the name of the band was and couldn't find it again.
This Iced Earth fan who didn't believe me about it is getting a huge fucking "I told you so" tonight.

Oh yea i could definatly tell it was him from that pic, its just too bad i never got to see them when he was still in the band. I remember seeing an add for metalfest back in 2002 which said they were playing, but they didnt.

I like how all the black guys are on typical black guy instruments.

I saw Iced Earth in '98. Was that guy in the band then?

Barlow > Ripper

agreed

he peeled off the mask he was wearing during his tenure with Iced Earth and went back to being Paul Stanley of the legendary rock and roll band KISS

HAHAHA...yes...my roomate and I argue about that all the time, i knew i wasnt alone in thinking he sounded like paul stanley

I bought an Iced Earth album years ago and couldn't get over that fact so I returned it.

By the way, ROAD TRIP ANYONE?
