I don't really think that you know that much either... You just copied that straightly from Wikipedia. Just take look at the 'Iced Earth'-article and you'll notice, um, some similarities. :DTaking influences isn't the same thing as copying.

LOL are you fuckin retarded?? first of all iced earth was Influenced by Iron Maiden songs like Transylvania that use triplets... secondly they didn't copy anyone. thirdly they've been around almost as long as metallica... your argument is pointless.
