Sure, there were some songs he was shaky on (I never liked him singing "Touch Of Evil"). But some of that isn't his fault. They downtuned a whole step and not to compensate for Owens either. Tipton has said on many occassions that they downtuned simply because the newer stuff was downtuned, so it was easier to just leave the guitars downtuned for everything live. Besides, Iced Earth plays in standard tuning and you can hear that he has NO problem blasting that stuff out.
Clearly that ultra low/mid-range isn't where Tim's strength is and Priest did him a disservice in attempting to sound heavier by downtuning. I think he would've nailed alot of those questionable older Priest songs if they had been up where they should'be been. And LDM is right, Tim OWNS Diamonds and Rust!  They're even playing the Ripper arrangement with Rob.I much prefer Rob in the band (of course), but Ripper deserves the credit he's due.

Ripper did a great job with Priest. Alot of people cut on him but I honestly think Priest picked a great singer to fill Rob's mighty big shoes. Still, Priest with Rob Rules Supreme and just about everybody knows that. At least the band put out some music and toured while Rob was away.

Timmy is history. Get real people, this is Robs domain and don't fucking think otherwise.

Halford is the man, no doubt......I'm just showing some class and thanking Ripper.
He's a terrific vocalist.

I look forward to Tim's solo stuff. He kicked some serious ass when he was with Winter's Bane and was nothing less then awesome with Iced Earth.

He didn't do Priest any favors for filling in for Rob. It was all for him. Old school Priest fans were turned off by Tim. That's the reason they went from playing large venues to little crappy halls. He was a failure at filling in for Halford.

I think Ripper did a great job. There are some songs I did not like his singing on such as Beyond the Realms of Death but there were also some things I felt Tim did as good or even in some cases better than Rob. Both are great singers with different strengths and weaknesses. Of course Rob is #1 because he is the original but Tim deserves a lot of credit for the balls he had to step into Rob's shoes.

Also, Tim is not the reason Priest went from playing large venues to small ones. The same thing happened to most metal bands during the late 90's-early 00's. Regarding this thread, I think it's pretty pointless to try and change people's opinions on Tim at THIS messageboard.
