I'm sure you do the song well Deep Freeze
remember it's not the note you sing --it's the passion you bring

Ha! Mine as well! It is not all that easy a song to sing, really. That bridge to the final line is hard to hold! Anyway, it is lovely.

I heard he did his own singing too--I liked all the songs but that one has a special place in my heart

I sang that song to the Princess many years ago and brought tears to her eyes! It is a big reason we ended up buying a copy of the movie! HA!!!!!!!! She always asks me to sing that song when we get to that particular part of the movie!!

From what I understand, Wahlberg actually did his own singing in that movie. Say what you will but I think he did a fine job!

Waste my soul, test my life. For my bread.
Spend my time, lost in space. Am I dead?
Oh let the river flow through my calloused hands
And take me from my own, the eyes of the damned

It makes my stomach turn!
It tears my flesh from bone!
How we turn the dream to stone
And we All Die Young........

The slow song you're talking about is called ( I think )--We All Die Young & it was one of the reasons I bought the cd--I just liked the words & the bass line was great but I like the whole cd--but that slow song is my favorite one off it

If anyones ever noticed (which I don't think ya'll have)...once in awhile I'll post a song in the song thread by Steel Dragon...the name of the band in the movie... ...Stand up and SHOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTT...
[Deep Freeze] Tuesday, June 16, 2009 5:15:24 PM 
Well, THAT I don't know. I have never toured with a world-famous act. I would assume there are a lot of accuracies but I would also assume there is a lot of "creative license" taken in it as well!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the movie when i first saw it, i'll admit, but i was like 13, and i had never heard of Priest. After i got into Priest i heard the movie was based on them, i watched it again and liked it alot less. My old band wanted to do a cover of a steel dragon song, living the life i think it was.Could find a decent version to download. Thats one thing I'm not trying to say by all of this though. I like Tim Owens, he's a very very talented dude, his work with Iced Earth is good, and his stuff with Priest was pretty good too, its just ya, his high vocals rub me the wrong way, i can't get past them, The Metal God is the only one who can sing the higher stuff to my ears. I'm still trying in vain to get past some harder vocals. I really like Arch enemy's lead singer voice now(took me awhile), she rules. But i still can't get past the dude who sings in Inflames. Both bands have insane guitar players, and kick ass, but the harder vocals usaully rub me the wrong way also.

Another peice of Owens stuff i really liked( except the very begining note) His cover of Mr. Crowley, that was a really cool cover.

Very cool, Michael! I know there are a LOAD of folks that hate the movie but I do admit, I like it.

Funny but I actually LOVE that movie (Rockstar). I do not think Rob took it personally. I mean, it IS Hollywoood, man! I have a copy of the movie here. It's great. As far as Owens, I like his voice in the Iced Earth stuff. In fact , we are talking about doing a song or two of his IF I can get his chops down. He is a very talented guy and I like his voice in the lower-mid register. I can't do the high screams anyway!! His OR Rob's!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IC, i thought he came out after leaving Priest, that movie pissed me off with the way they made Halfrod seem like a sissy. I didnt know that he wasnt allowed to make other music because of his contract though, thanks for the info. I bet Owens little worshipper sure loved that movie though. I always saw Halford leaving the band though, not the other way around.

How about the song off of Sad wings of Destiny? you know the song that Halford invented...... and used his vocal ability to design the way the song would be sung? I have heard enough of Owens singing to last a life time man, and i can't get over the one fact of his voice, to shrill and ear pericing. Halford is still the only singer in my opinion who can pull off the high octaves without it sounding shrill and annoying. Owens voice is very shrill and very annoying when he goes that high. I'm sorry i know you have a pretty big hard on for the guy, you've made that clear for pretty much the entire website, while at the same time coming off as almost a homophobe for ripping on Halford so much. If you honestly got it that bad for Tim owens maybe you should hit up the Tim Owens Noticeboard. oh wait is there even one of those?? well i take it from your name your really only care about one persons opinion.
