ICED EARTH
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewicedearth.html

When Rob Halford returned to Judas Priest last year, it thrust Tim
“Ripper” Owens into free agent status. Elated Judas Priest fans
celebrated
the reunion, but knew that there was an underlying story waiting to
unfold. They wouldn't be left waiting long. Behind the scenes, Iced
Earth's Jon Schaffer wasted no time in snatching Owens to replace
longtime
vocalist Matt Barlow. It was a move that made so much sense that we
should
have seen it coming. Shortly after the release of ‘The Glorious
Burden’,
The Metal Update contacted Tim Owens to discuss this turn of events.
