Yeah, I guess its kinda cool, I guess even though Tim always said the
right things...well Jon is just a extremely hard person to please,
we'll see how long this reunion lasts. Tim also has his own band
Beyond Fear, so he will be able to keep plenty busy, maybe he asked
out of Iced Earth to pursue these other projects?
