Through my work in the Chicago metal scene, I've encountered Iced Earth in the past. I talked with a couple of those guys at one of their shows. They were hired guns. There was once a pretty solid line-up, but not for years.

He's actually a talented guitarist. I got the impression he was pretty much full of himself, though. Ever since 9/11, he's put out some "pro-America/worship the heroes" sort of songs.

At any rate, he's now just another fucking traitor. NO DO-OVERS !

checked out some of his/their stuff briefly...not my usual fare (though I like a lot of older metal) but he seemed like he was good at it. I didn't do much more digging, but I wondered if he was into that whole Odinism thing that some subgenres of metal are into.

Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing who will actually live their new-found belief, so all those convicted must go through the crucible. Perhaps, after a few years of being iced on Earth, we'll know for certain the measure of Schaffer's rebirth.

I've never heard of him or his band. I guess there is no band anymore because the other members all denounced him and quit. Lock him up.

Longevity is the only reason they're spoken of. Around since the 80s; several albums produced.

His band these days has been all hired guns. There hasn't been any kind of solid line-up for years.

If he was the “star” of this band, it’s no wonder they gladly threw him overboard! Now, they might actually have a chance at success. Perhaps at a local HONKY-tonk, nightclub, or maybe even a music festQval.

Just from what’s posted here, I’d have guessed he was the band’s drummer. To wit:

What do you say to a drummer in a three-piece suit?
"Will the defendant please rise?"

Oddly enough, there used to be drummers in suits, well maybe not three piece ones. The term 'drummer' used to refer to a traveling salesman back in the 19th century.
