Iced Earth guitarist, Jon Schaffer, faces 6 criminal charges after involvement in Capitol Riot

I stopped following them, probably around 2008, but there were three vocalists, five guitarists, five bassists and six drummers in the period of 1985 to 2000 and 1004, and many of these people openly admitted later on that the reason they left was because of John Shaver. Not really surprised as of now

Ice Earth and Demons and Wizards are no longer listed on Century Media's Records website, following guitars John Schaefer's participation in the Capital Riot earlier this month, Century Media seems to have scrubbed all traces of the two bands, both of which include Schaefer as a founding member. Ice Earth and Demons and Wizards, cannot be found on the label's current artist list, nor the Century Media's roster or former artist Merch from both acts, is also no longer available via the Century Media Store

Joe. I think that the front man of Trapped is probably the King of these wackadoodles. I've been watching that saga unfold, and him tell bands that are 100 million times more popular than his band is that they have no followers and have no support, which is just astonishing to me, but yeah, Iceberg is a tricky band in that

What was their headstrong, I think, was their hit. And I never gave that band another thought. I didn't like that song much at the time. And then that was it. And I didn't even know they still were out there until this day. And so he was doing exactly what you were saying. He was like, basically trying to say how superior Trapped was to RA and all that kind of stuff

We don't know how many people are not voting for certain reasons. And I mean, we see in all the video coming out from the Capitol riot that people there had different ideas of what they wanted to be doing there's. That video of the guy trying to get the capital police to be involved because he didn't like seeing the capital being destroyed and said that those people wanted to hurt the people inside

@Taylor thanks!

But something that might be a different aspect to this is that and I didn't hear a whole people talking, and I understand where they're coming from, because this country has been operating out of a disconnect for so long. It's like we've become comfortable being uncomfortable with this cognitive dissonance that we live with, where we're the richest nation in the world, and we're the hardest working people in the world

Brooke, you bring up so many good points, this vicious cycle of poverty. I think that that can be extended to society as well, not just like in monetary poverty, but just access to resources standing in society, what is afforded to you and what is not. And these problems are absolutely throughout every single aspect of the way that this country operates. It's just taken over, like weeds. And I think that one of the biggest problems

@Taylor i hear ya brother. Forgive my ranting reply, welcome ur take on it👍

It's so obvious to me what's really valuable and what's not valuable. So I won't give it all away. You'll have to discover it for yourself. This is a message from the future, because it's not that I devalue work itself either. I like work. I like being productive, but as a non materialistic person, I can't really speak to capitalism. It's fair enough that people like to accumulate wealth and play with money. So that's fair getting some rocks?
