    HELLO EVERYONE! Slight correction: its been confirmed that the Chris Barnes Facebook account does not actually belong to him, and thus Barnes himself did not say "every death metal singer sucks except for me".
    ...HOWEVER, Barnes at the very least does not entirely disapprove of the statement, as he has yet to truly comment on the matter. It's fair to assume he has no real issue with the statement itself, especially when considering the rest of the information surrounding this controversy. Therefore I still stand behind everything I said in this video. Cheers.

The solution to all of this for Barnes is very simple: swallow some pride, correct the statement, and address the shitstorm HE created. Continuing to hide away and ban people left and right on Twitter only proves my points.

    I really respect your closing statements about the matter. Sure it's genuinely annoying that Barnes is such a tool that he can't look at himself in the mirror and swallow his pride and admit that he's wrong, but it's best to just move on and let him do his thing. Plenty of great death metal out there, including bands performing the old-school style that he's hung up on. Fetid, Cerebral Rot, Witch Vomit, 200 Stab Wounds, Frozen Soul, Worm, just to name a handful of bands.

      If he's expressing his own, subjective, personal opinions, especially about something as inconsequential as music, then why should he have to look at himself in a mirror or swallow anything and say that he's wrong?
      The same douchebags that are looking for that warm, fuzzy, feeling of male-bonding with each other, by piling on him for this, would probably just pile disdain on him, if he did that, as well.
      I say more power to him for sticking to his guns and telling it like he sees it and not bending for all of these dicks (like the one in the kitchen with the bandana on, above).
      I mean, think what you're doing. You're all saying 'You don't like all the singers I like so you are a fucking asshole. Isn't he Kevin, Richard, Corey and George'?!

    I’ll say this Chris deserves the love and respect for his influence on those 1st 4 CC albums especially with the bleeding. Many bands got introduced to death metal with Hammer Smashed Face or maybe their appearance on Ace Ventura or the controversy But Barnes with those comments really has become Death metal’s Gene Simmons. He is an absolute joke now. It’s best to leave Barnes and SFU behind. Modern Death Metal is killing it imo especially with bands like Hooded Menace, Venom Prison, Creeping Death, Beyond Creation, Cadaveric Incubator, Triumvir Foul, Temple of Void, Archspire, Dungeon Serpent, Worm, Fulci, Horrendous etc…..

      Barnes had nothing to do with what made Cannibal Corpse great. Death metal singers in general have very little to do with how good a band is. You could put Tomas Lindberg in early Cannibal and it would probably be better. Barnes has never been talented EVER. Every single singer he talked shit about is far more talented than he.

    Voivod is sick bro. Also I lived in Tampa for about eight years and was a part of it's underground scene in the mid 2000s. A lot of the local death metal legends hung out at the same places I did. Regularly saw all the guys from Corpse, Steve Asheim from Deicide, all the guys from Obituary and Malevolent Creation etc. It came to a point where I took more note of who I didn't see but knew lived nearby and Chris was one of them. He had a reputation for being a complete douchebag and wholly uninterested in metal in general at least locally. For the most part it was kind of a dream come true to see so many guys I looked up to for so many years just hanging out shooting the shit with guys but Chris definitely wasn't one of them and the word was I was better off for it.

    @nemesis8626 2 роки тому +19

    The truth of the Matter is while I prefer the older styling of death metal, death metal and deathcore vocalists in particular are objectively better nowadays. The old style of vocalists had that stereotypical cookie monster style now they have much stronger and more controlled guttural approaches and stronger in just about every style of death metal vocals due in a big way to a far more trained approach, maybe with the exception being John Tardy and Chuck Schuldiner who very much had there own style and strong vocals anyway back when death metal was in its infancy anyway. And for Chris Barnes of all people to come out with this is insane, has he not listened to himself over the past few six feet under albums, he's not only the worst vocalist in death metal but probably any other genre of music period. I meen this is just an opinion so it's completely subjective some of my thoughts, but what isn't subjective is that his vocals are done

    I toured with 6FU back in 2005 through Europe as a support band. it was with 6FU, born from pain, debauchery and Kat. It was on the height of their success. I was just 18 and a huge Barnes fan. But what I saw was so obnoxious. This guy would constantly flip the bird to the other bands watching 6FU from the side of the stage. I saw him kicking guys jumping on stage in the knee. He sucker punched a guy in Austria (Dornbirn) for asking him to sign a CD, knocked him out cold and would always send his bodyguard to keep people away from him. A total scumbag. But the rest of the band was very nice! Greg, Steve and terry were the coolest guys despite me fanboying through the tour. That being said… I still have mad respect for what he has done until 2004… but I think his brain just started to suffer from all the marijuana ever since.

Barnes is the king of that vocal style. My favorite bands from back in the day are pestilence Gorefest morbid Angel carcass pungent stench old obituary old Death old cannibal corpse old malevolent creation old school only death metal is trash nowadays has been since the late 90's well Chris Barnes said is the truth It really is like dude come on death metal nowadays it's a joke

      I was all about death metal when it was a thing back in the early 90s it was new it was exciting it was fresh it was pushed to the limit they pushed the envelope to the limit to the extreme I was all about it I was a '90s death metal kid I still am I only like the old dudes that's it nobody else. Why? Because that's just the way the wind blows that's the way it is. I still listen to butchered at birth here and there I still listen to the old records in my car right now in the CD player I got false by Gorefest! I don't give a fuck about anything else , but the bands that I grew up with now I love all forms of metal well not every form but all the old school stuff like that the stuff I was raised on cuz of my dad he's an old metal head from the seventies early eighties and I latched on to my era of metal which was death metal when I was a kid. I don't like anything else I don't like the new bands I don't like anything about them I think they're tacky and tasteless generic and that's my honest opinion

    Question. Not completely related to to video but is any of Six Feet Under's early work any good. Or is any of their work good? Just asking because I haven't gone too deep in that part of metal yet mainly being an casual listener of either underground Grunge or alternative rock like Nirvana, Slint, American Football, and Foo Fighters or Very heavy metal bands like Slipknot and Lamb of God. And Black metal bands like Burzum, Mayhem, Emperor, and Bathory.

      yea man, he is always been a really insanely good vocalist up until recently even on six feet under. now, the recent stuff is bad, like very very bad and you'll know right away when you are listening to it. listen to the haunted album, or any from around that time period. if you can deal with burzums microwaved ass sound you probably will be fine.

    It's kinda funny that a lot of people were shocked and taken aback by Chris's comments, when he's proven multiple times that he is a total fucking goober(in addition to being a horrible musician). I'll admit, it is kinda funny to make fun of him and his nonsense, but at the end of the day, it is to be expected of him. This whole situation is gonna be forgotten in a matter of days, until we find another excuse to make fun of him. The weel is gonna keep turning.

    I don't know why i said this but...that's what Chris Barnes Actions reminds me of. But the difference here is, Hideki Kamiya does this because he hates the internet, Chris Barnes does this because he's a Brat who can't accept any form of criticism, and the fact that he said he's the best death metal singer and everyone else sucks (which side note: By that logic George Fisher also sucks, yet he's been with Cannibal Corpse for almost 25 years and everyone, including peoples who don't like Death Metal, likes George Fisher) really is just The Pot calling the Kettle Black, hell at this point, the guy who voices the Cookie Monster from Sesame Streets unironically would make a better Death Metal singer than Chris Barnes is.

    Chris Barnes aside, what doesn't change stagnates, and whether or not any of us like the direction it takes it will change anyway. That's why past music is called "old school". Once, old school was the new school and everyone was up in arms about the direction it was headed, and we were the young ones saying "If it's too loud you're too old". Are we really going to emulate our parents now? "Grumble, grumble, kids these days..."
    No amount of fighting against change is gonna stop it so why not just listen to what you like and leave them the fuck alone to like what they like?
