This band is a living demonstration that marijuana does actually cause brain damage
Facts
Hahahaha!!! Probrobly.
No it doesn't
@@brentleycraft aww..its all in fun. Everyone knows Chris is a pioneer and a bad ass.
😂 Does that explain why they used variations of the same riff on a couple songs from 13?
My band was the local opener for 6FU around 2004 or so. Admission was $35 (for three locals and Six Feet Under). Roughly 1/2 of the tickets went unsold and Chris Barnes decided that it wasn't worth playing, so their merch guy grabbed the cash box and literally sprinted to the bus and the band left.
Since we heard what happened right when we were done playing, we took our time tearing down our gear while an announcement was made saying that 6FU had canceled. A rumor started circulating the crowd that we ran overtime and that 6fu couldn't play because we bumped them (which we didn't).
Long story short, I had to escape getting my ass beat by like 250 drunk Chris Barnes loyalists because the band literally decided at the last possible second that they weren't going to play, but stole all the money from the show making refunds difficult/impossible.
That's some scum to the power of bag.
Wow just wow!
Haha that's fucked up
How come i feel like you aren't lying at all about this? That's fucked.
Lol that's insane
Their recent stuff is what non-metal listeners think what metal is
Eeeee!
no that would be the garbage CC releases nowadays

- Chris Barnes, 2020
Fun fact, pressing the buttom that says "Translate to English" adds a few more Es. No idea what language Google Translate thinks it is.
Replacing Chris Barnes with Corpsegrinder was the best thing Cannibal Corpse ever did for themselves. Barnes' voice started to die off right around the Bleeding, and CC were getting better musically with each passing album. Barnes was the only person in that band who wasn't interested in growing his skills. He was happy just writing about stabbing queefs or whateverthefuck and blazing in his hotel room. And at the same time, the rest of the band matured and focused on being the best they could be. They needed a singer with the same mindset (not to mention someone who would actually take care of their voice) or they would implode. George was that guy. He may be a Warcraft-obsessed manchild, but he’s still 100% committed to his craft and takes care of his voice very well.
And look at where the two bands are now. CC are still making solid albums in their 50s, whereas SFU and Chris Barnes are walking memes.
Cannibal Corpse saved their careers with that move.
George fucking rules
Yeah Cannibal Corpse hasn’t really evolved as a band though in terms of direction though
That's why I'm fucking sad that SFU's bassist, Jeff Hughell, a monster of technical death metal (Brain Drill) decided to join them to make some bland stuff...
Absolute bs Barnes voice is better vs corpsegrinder six feet under albums are supior vs anything cannibal corpse with corpsegrinder
@@Jerry-tv4bgplease tell me this is satire😅
Chris' hate towards Cannibal Corpse was also present on their official website in the 2000's. As far as I know there was a bio section and on Chris' member page he wrote "Least favorite music: Post-1995 Cannibal Corpse".
Jealousy can be a bytch , I guess Lol.. SMDH. HOW that guy can be even in the SAME sentence with RELEVANT today OR? The past 25 plus years is....😵💫 Just waaay beyond my comprehension.....
That only makes his fans like him more lol. I know, I'm one of them.
@@brianmorris364 For the life of me? I'll NEVER in a million years begin to even "comprehend" HOW that dude has "fans/ people that actually PAY 💰/ take THEIR time to go see him/HIS band etc". 🤷... But hey, I AIN'T hatin on ya/ others THAT like him... I just DON'T comprehend it..And? Like the backwards message before REVELATIONS on Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind album? I, "don't meddle with things I don't understand"..... 😏🤘🔥🤘
What a loser. Corpsegrinder saved Cannibal Corpse and turned them into a powerhouse of a band after Chris left
Well, if all of you were kicked out of the band you help to creat, you'd be a little bitter about it.
My first "band" was actually just a 6FU cover band playing songs from their first album because the material was simple enough for everyone to learn in a short period of time. That album still has a place in my heart.
Close to what mine was, i did barnes style vocals with our own riffs but 91 cypress hill lyrics
@@HansBelphegor Hell yeah! 🤘
I wish I could hear this because I'm sure your vocalist was a lot better than Chris. Sounds like you guys were just playing Six Feet Under without the suck
I love the early Steve Swanson era of Six Feet Under. That dude came up with some crushing riffs that were so simple, and his tone was quite unique at the time too.
Steve Swanson is a bloooooody legend
Hell yeah
Yes! I always feel alone in that opinion. glad to see that I'm not the only one.@@mariamargiannis1510
@@higler. Not alone at all. Steve is the shit.
You really should give Barnes more credit. He is a pioneer of the genre.
6-7 years ago when I was still on Facebook and followed their official page, they announced an European tour. It was mostly circling around Germany, Belgium and the surrounding countries. I was six beers deep, an asshole and commented, that doing gigs in four countries doesn't count as a tour of Europe, when you leave out close to ten other countries. A few hours later I got a private message from their page. Someone was asking, if I could organize gigs for them. I've never booked gigs, even with my own band and nothing on my page suggested, that I knew anything about booking a tour. At that time I was working in a warehouse. Took it as a sarcastic joke.But it wasn't, they were serious.
Reminds me of the Spinal Tap World Tour on the simpsons.
London
Berlin
NYC
Springfield
I asked cannibal corpse and later obituary to play a venue down the street from my house and even a song from obituary told them it was a good place ironically they both bands did come through here obituary did play the song Celtic frost cover bad ass now cc is coming through again as well as morbid angel be ause of me probably not but hey there is like a belt thru three city's now I'm hopeful
@@fredlivingston3766 Jesus H. Christ have you ever heard of a comma????
@@SarahTheBasicBitch im glad I'm not the only one. I can't fucking read that comment
Shoulda said fuck it and done it lmao
Me - "Hey, Chris, whats your favorite chord?"
Chris Barnes - "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
I'll always like SFU for the same reason I like Jungle Rot. It's knuckle-draggy shit that knows what it is and is fun. Unborn/Undead is a great pair of albums.
Jungle Rot is fantastic
Exactly. I'm not looking for technical wizardry when I listen to SFU
Jungle Rot is actually good though.
yea, but from my understanding, Jungle Rot aren't penis pumps like Chris is. I think that's the main problem w SFU these days.
@@sireffortlessgarbage7922 early SFU was good
Me and a few fans were lucky enough to meet Paul Mezurkiewitz after a cannibal corpse show not to long ago, i’ll never forget when Paul let out a genuine laugh when a fan asked him what he thought of the new 6FU album lol
I honestly think that Chris Barnes should be held responsible for crimes against humanity for all the graveyard classics albums he is responsible for.
Facts 🤣😭
You guys need to hear Grindcore Joe by Excrementory Grindfuckers if you haven't.
Graveyard classics was only fun to turn on TNT for my dad and see him laugh haha
I like those albums, just don't take em seriously
@@honjon666 Excrementory Grindfuckers is awesome!
Watch me exploooooooooode
Ola Englund is amazing and it's awesome to know he was in a famous death metal band and not just Feared and his other projects.
Oh yeah, he should've stayed with them and prevented them from sucking ever again
The Haunted > Six feet under
He was a hired live guitarist
@@mikerauter1859 he did write songs for them and made a record tho
I feel like Ola secretly distanced himself from Six Feet Under quite a while ago when he listed bands he was in and he said something like "Yeah that's all" without mentioning SFU
I'm disappointed nobody is talking about that hilarious "Barnes Isn't Noble" joke at 7:31. That almost made me spit out my coffee, keep up the great work!
FINALLY someone else noticed. 170 thousand views and only two people pointed out my joke 🤣🤣
Can you explain? I didn’t get the joke.
@@pixelbasedlifeforms theres a american bookstore called Barnes & Noble
@@pixelbasedlifeforms Barnes and noble the book store…. Get it
@@pixelbasedlifeformsBarnes and Noble is a bookstore chain in the US and maybe some other countries. Kaylen replaced the "and" with the word "isn't" because Chris Barnes isn't noble.
Tomb of the mutilated is still the best CC album. Nothing else Barnes has done has really hooked me in the same way.
Tomb of the Mutilated has some of my favorite Death Metal vocals, a shame he absolutely destroyed his voice within a few years.
Butchered at Birth is pretty underrated
Bloodthirst shits on anything with barnes
@@rusty9514 It was impossible for him to do what he did on the early albums without destroying his throat, sadly.
Worst album in their entire catalog
Haunted will always be a killer Six feet under debut album,love that album.
It will always be the ONLY 6FU debut album😂
It’s the only album of there’s I like.

@@completistjunky nah
Chris Barnes sounds now like angry Eric Cartman.
Haunted is still one of my all time favorite death metal albums
True Carnage and Bringer Of Blood may aged badly, but they were pretty important at the time. They were heavily influenced by Nu Metal and Six Feet Under became an important gateway band to extreme metal. You saw young kids running around in their merch, who probably never heard about Cannibal Corpse and didnt give a shit about the "classic" DM sound on albums like Haunted. They were there for the stoner guy with dreadlocks doing rap growls over groovy and bouncy riffs. Heck there were straight up guest features by rappers. Thats what started the journey into DM for many people and deserves some credit.
Meh, I'll give you that
You're exactly right here. I loved Six Feet Under, and when metal music went into the Nu era, SFU seemingly followed suit. Old heads like me hated it, but it honestly catapulted them out of the obscure and onto some huge metalfests. For that next generation of kids, SFU just was Death Metal. They didn't know the better stuff yet and the internet was just getting going. I cringed at him repeating Bringer of Blood over and over to that lame riff, but it was exactly like you stated, a gateway to extreme music.
@@KJKanon I am not even familiar with that track and don't think I want to be! After Maximum Violence I was done, and never liked Warpath.
Exactly my story:) SFU and Chris' lyrics dramatically expanded my mind and knowledge about extreme music as a 16-yo bong smoker in 2003, and I will always be grateful for those memories. The only real problem is - they should have quit the band when Steve Swanson left, and I still don't get it why Chris didn't just start a new band with Jack Owen instead of using the same old brand that once stood for something. Fans of fast music might find True Carnage boring - to me this is a stoned masterpiece.
@@KJKanon
You guys are right. I was a huge fan of SFU back then, and loved them for the grooves. Might not of heard of much of the other death metal, or did and didn't care for it. I still pull up the live video here on youtube of Bringer of Blood in Germany. Love that song.
ua-cam.com/video/nfqFydpp2Hg/v-deo.html
To be fair, Chris Barnes started with that "Eeeeeee!" screeching long before SFU. You can hear it on a quite a few Cannibal Corpse songs.
Yeah, well... it's way worse now.... WAY WORSE! My god, I couldn't stand listening to that last album for over 10 seconds!
His high screams on The Bleeding are awful and I don't think enough people acknowledge that.
Yeah, that is partly what made The Bleeding so great!
The bleeding would have been a perfect album if chris had done something else than that "eeeee" sound. those "high" notes just ruins the whole record
And emulated by pretty much every deathcore band since.
As someone who writes and records their own music and has very high standards for production value, idk how a record label, band manager, or even the bandmates themselves would let some of these albums get released to the public. Its a legit health crisis.
Ive heard a lot worse
I got the latest cd. Like guy b4 me, I heard way worse. Ever hear of defication? Makes sfu seem like opera
Most of 6FU's albums have been self produced and self released while not being under a contract label.
Chris Barnes with torture killer is goated. Vocals are shot but a classic album
I was listening to DM when SFU was formed, and it was a breath of fresh air in a daily expanding world of Suffocation and Incantation clones. CC and Obituary were doing well, and I remember reading Barnes and West wanted a side project to write simpler, catchier, groovier DM, Haunted was brilliant and immediately as Allen left, it was obvious who the creative force was.
Stop using initials, write you lazy boy.
West was apparently fired, possibly for hard drugs looking at his record
It's hard to talk to little kids about death metal
Dope guitarist I loved his very distinct style especially with leads
@@shlomogoldstein3373 the entire scene has become a political statement du jour anyhoo.
I didn't mind Bringer Of Blood, but I do agree that the Six Feet Under's best days are long behind them.
Stop listening to them after Death Rituals.
*D R I N K B L O O D G E T H I G H*
German live version of bringer of blood is pretty sweet
@@ouch2925 Chris killed it live but why does he sound so lame on the album
Chris Barnes was pretty cool when I met him ,he hung out with me and my friends and he smoke out with us
I'm new to your videos and really liking them so far, this one was great. I also really liked the one about Muhammed Suiçmez, being one of those fans who finally gave up on hearing new material a year or two ago. Awesome work 🤘
Unborn is a sick album,Ola was a breath of fresh air,it's a shame they didn't do more with him.
I'd argue that Undead was slightly better in terms of writing and song direction. Rob Arnold breathed some new life in that band and while I love Ola with all my heart, Rob was the better fit for that band in that era, but only by a slight margin and doesn't get the credit he deserves for it.
I also like Unborn more. 🤘🏻
Man, I am a huge fan of these band review videos. I can’t wait to see more of them.
He just seems like someone that takes shit so personally
Damn haters xD you are never been know, he is iconic and original Cannibal Corpse singer. take that and shut up
You might not remember, but there was a period where you could buy a set refrigerator magnets that had words printed on them, so you could make your own poetry or whatever. I found them helpful for writing. Anyways, there were various sets of them, and I really think there should have been a Cannibal Corpse set. When when Barnes makes that 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEe" sound. Reminds me of Wes Scantlins version of 'About A Girl."
Look everyone, he said the Eee thing, isn’t it funny.
That's called magnet poetry and it's still around. There's even a free online version of some of the variations.
Gotta give it to the man. That EEEEE is quite unique.
Luv your reviews amigo, don't go anywhere....we need you! 🤙
I honestly can't believe they thought their last album had the quality to be released or at least to charge people for it.
Being a fan of a band and still feeling alright about bashing them is a bold and respectable move. Some people should learn with you, for real.
Also, obligatory EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I love Yngwie too, but I don't understand people who can't take criticism on someone else's behalf.
EEEEEEEE
@@sixstringtv1 same here with Metallica, I love most of the things they released (even Load and Reload, my childhood's soundtrack), but I'll joke like hell about their questionable decisions.
True fans are always willing to tell the truth. Fake fans just suck up and pretend everything is great.
@@hatempire I got out of bootcamp and found out while visiting the mall that Metallica had a new album released. I bought St. Anger and listened to it while going back to the barracks. Sheer disappointment.
The promotional poster read, "better than Master of Puppets." That was bs. 😝
@@TheTenCentStory oh, St. Anger is a huge NO for me. Some good riffs here and there, but repeated ad eternum on
weird unfinished structures. First time I ever listened the title track in the radio, I didn't know it was Metallica and thought "sounds like SOAD, but it's so weird"
No Warning Shot is still one of my favorite songs from my childhood. So cheesy, so good.
No, you cant do that here, sfu bad CC and black Dalia gud
Hilarious video. Dig your style. Subscribed. Good luck with your channel, I’m sure it will grow huge over time.
I saw Chris Barnes at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Some people enjoy getting really high and being dicks in public. It just proves that before Chris was metal, he was punk.
@@brianmorris364 it’s a Reddit copypasta origionally (supposedly) about the musician flying lotus
@@skinnyraptor9111 so this never happened lol I didn't think that sounded like Chris. He's fairly respectful and well mannered in public normally. Never heard of flying lotus. Lol
@@brianmorris364 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Lotus
Idk how much electronica/beats you listen to but he’s great. I listen to a lot of metal but this shit just gets me
@@skinnyraptor9111 I'd check it out, thanks.
I loved SFU years ago. And i still enjoy some of their old albums.
The old stuff is gold
_"If, by any chance, you've always wanted to 'chat about weed' with Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under, then now's your chance for only six dollars."_
I feel like my entire life has been leading to this moment. Finally I can fulfil my purpose... x3
Chris Barnes sounds like what my parents think Death Metal sounds like. When my dad makes fun of it, he actually does a better job than Chris.
Everything people say is true, and yet that doesn't change the fact that "Haunted" is the greatest slow doom stoner death metal album of all time
I love SFU. Don't really care about the personalities of the members of a certain band as long as I like the music. Death rituals is amazing, I think you should give it another go.
Great video. Earned a sub :)
Thanks for the sub!
Dude great editing and well written. Earned my sub!
Thanks! 😎😎
Rob Arnold deserves so much more credit for what he did writing Undead. Unborn was great and Ola did a fantastic job with it, but Rob is an unsung hero in terms of what he did to revitalize SFU. I feel like Ola gets more praise because he's more popular.
100% bro. Rob is one of guitar heroes, too. He’s a student of Death Metal, too. Dude is a beast.
You can tell the step up in quality when it’s basically Chimaira writing and playing the music
Rob is one of the last best true metal compositors, his job with Chimaira a and six feet is a school to learn
Which sfu song from the album the haunted should i cover?
I met Chris Barnes back in 2001 he was really nice to me he signed my birth certificate and he let me and my buddy watch their sound check
Sign your BIRTH CERTIFICATE 🤨.... REALLY?....
I had a similar experience. Great guy. Too bad he has a shit reputation.
@jamescon55 yup
It was the only thing I had that i could get signed lol
You need to make this recap for every single band ever! :D
lmao you said you made mad malmsteen and I srsly had to suscribe. Great content, keep at it!
My neighbors and I love Six Feet!!! They have been excellent on some and goofy on others. I agree they released some subpar shit, but they are tons of fun and total party material
The gall that that man has to insult Trevor and Corpsegrinder is unbelievable. My grunts after taco night diarrhea are more brutal then his 2020 album…squeaks?
hahahaaa!!!
Love him or hate him Chris is such a huge part of the Death Metal legacy. I remember when the DM style of vocal first came on the scene and it was laughed at and ridiculed and it still does get thatfrom non fans of the genre just as Chris's vocals are getting the same treatment. Maybe it's just a style thing. Yeah he sounds completely different to the typical DM vocal style is that a good thing? I dunno maybe...its just different. Is it shit? I dunno again its just different. What's shit to some is great to others its all taste at the end of the day.
he cares way too much about pronunciation. if he went back to being undecipherable he'd be a-1
@@FiendTheatre He wasn't a-1, ever. He cares about pronunciation because that's what people used to criticize about him, and he sucked back then. I've never been a fan, it's hard to listen to old CC albums because of him.
@@simpleanswer8954 im not sure if he sucked backed then. i think its a new concept that started in 2015. but i will say one thing. six feet under fans are the juggalos of the metal world.
Yeah you are absolutely right... but bro... shit is shit... and Barnes has build a throne out of turd
Being a huge part of the "Death Metal legacy" is pretty much like winning the spirit award in the special olympics lmfao.
One of my all time favorite bands. Been listening since 2001. I love their more straightforward death metal. I love technical too but I absolutely love SFUs slower and heavier style. I loved Steve's guitar solos too. Especially on death rituals!
I Like Some of six Feet under's Music. Chris was.part of Caninal Corpse's [ " The Bleeding" ] One of the Genre's Greatest Albums. He is Still a Legend.🤘
So in 1994 a 15 year old me was bored with 25 bucks and went to the only used books and record shop in town (at the time) and walked out of the store with: Autopsy's "Mental Funeral", Cynic's "Focus", Sinister's "Cross the Styx", Pestilence's "Testimony of the Ancients", Mortician's "Mortal Massacre", Six Feet Under's "Haunted" and Slayer's "Divine Intervention." I enjoyed it for about a week then stopped listening to it all together. The Slayer album lasted about as long as SFU, they both ended up back at that same pawn shop. The rest of those albums I still listen to fairly regularly.
Cynic/pestilence are fuckin immense.
That cynic could incorporate jazz into death metal was mind blowing.
Got a personal story about him
My dad who is a big fella 6'3 200 pounds was doing security for I think a six feet under show was doing usually stuff guards would do and Chris didn't seem to like it and told him to let them on stage and my father said no and they almost got into a fist fight.
Security is to stop unwanted people from getting on the stage. The band has the right to welcome select people onto the stage.
Chris Barnes and fist fights seems to be a running theme. A friend of mine's ex was a frontman for a death metal band back in the 90s and he considered it a point of pride that he managed to get into a fist fight with Barnes at a gig haha.
@@Fireglo I know that I never asked him what year it was but he probably didn't want anyone on stage after the Dimebag incident
@@somerandomguy4760 dude i'm pretty sure if someone was coming in to shoot up the stage they wouldn't be waiting for security's permission. The Dimebag killing was a once in a lifetime event. Musicians being hysterical over it is so hilarious. You're about 1000 times more likely to be killed walking the street or shopping at the mall.
@@Fireglo It STILL happens though...Look at the aftershow meet n greet with that poor aspiring singer Christina Grimee where the deranged fan shot her 3 times to death (RIGHT in front of her brother) and then pulled out a 2nd gun (cuz the 1st gun was a jammer) on himself commiting suicide SMGDH 😒. SOME REAL treats out there lemme tell you....
45 years old here, I love SFU!
Meanwhile Corpsegrinder's solo album is absolutely brutally heavy and amazing
Well he’s better, that’s why 🤣
It’s hard to believe that the same guy who wrote the lyrics to Nightmares of the Decomposed also wrote the lyrics to the Bleeding…. Those albums are in different universes
Something must have happened with his mind, probably too much bad weed, and I don't even mean this as a diss or making fun of him - a friend of mine got his whole personality changed after what he called his "awakening", but people around him with some medical knowledge would describe as a drug induced psychosis.
That's why we need to legalize stuff, so it isn't poisoned with lead and shit...
The Rotting is pretty similar though
@@Knokkelman you don't get psychosis from "bad" weed - for some people with predispositions consuming it on a regular basis is just generally bad for them. Has nothing to do with lead and chemicals.
@@Knokkelman WELL stated 💯 percent 🤘. I can vouch for the same as I have seen it all in my 49 years....
The vocals are awful too.
SFU has some killer tracks, it’s a shame how inconsistent they got and nowadays the releases are.. shocking. I think I found one track I liked out of the latest 2 albums. I’m not sitting through them again to see if there is a second track that I like, nope nope nope
Exactly. Seed of filth from Death Rituals is not too bad.
its a shame because marco (although hes a stuck up prick) is one of the best drummers and jeff hughell oned of te best bassists in metal but the music just sucks so bad lol
Chris Barnes is the Steven Seagal of metal.
💯 %
I like them
Me too
And that’s completely fine
Good for you
6 feet under and cannibal corpse are 2 of my favorite bands. Unburied kills it, actually I like all of his later stuff.
The cover albums of course are hilarious (their cover of maiden’s The Evil That Men Do especially) but honestly I think bringer of blood might be their funniest record. I wholeheartedly recommend it on that basis alone
He's still a legend, he might act goofy sometimes...but he wrote and helped make some of the greatest death metal albums of all time.
The guy is a complete arsehole. There comes a point when it doesn't matter how good your music is if you're a terrible person
@@rorz999 I disagree.
@@rorz999 watch interviews. You know how the internet feels for people that grew up in the 80s that were respected by hundreds of people in real life face to face
? zombie apocalypse.. and the only ones enjoying it are the people that believe they havent had enough say.(the bitter kid)
Its really shocking how no one mentions Steve Swanson's contributions to the band. His guitar work is brilliant. Its only after he left the band went to shit. Some of those songs you think are simple are far from it, especially on Bringer of Blood.
All of the terrible albums prior to Steve leaving were ones he played on. Everything from true carnage to death rituals was shit.
@@MarcusBlueWolf Death Rituals sucked? Are you fucking kidding me?
Steve's a bllllooooody legend
I started listening to death metal because of them. ❤️
Saw them at the Metal & Hardcore Fest in Worcester, MA years back. They're a great live band.
Good vid. Nice way you had on a hoodie that fits the vid's topic.
I looked up death metal from 2013 and Gorguts' Colored Sand came out that year...that has to be one of the best right?
For sure
I love Six Feet Under.
Please do not operate a vehicle or handle heavy machinery.
I do but just the first 3 albums
😂😂😂
Verminous was far from my favorite tbdm album but there’s no way one of the most mid bands in death metal had shit to say on Trevor strnads vocals 💀 His vocal style was fucking phenomenal and a lot of his lyrics were nothing short of awe inspiring poetry ie. Funeral thirst, miasma etc. The only death metal band that I can look the other way at some of their corny whimsical songs while still enjoying because of the sheer charm they had
Listen to em on occasion but they've never really hooked me. I do, however, really like the covers albums they've done. Really great way to discover new bands.
I actually really like the album Unburied to be honest. Something about his vocals on that one just sound killer.
I was really into this until about halfway through. You said something about youths and after that all I could think about was Joe Pesci in my cousin Vinny when he's talking to the judge. "two youts." I love that movie and that scene, so I'm going to have to come back to this. 😅
I did not listen to this all the way through, yet. What I did want to say that while most of my friends in the death metal scene in the early/mid/ late nineties loved Cannibal Corpse and Chris Barnes, when six feet under came out and corpse grinder was doing his thing with Cannibal Corpse, we kind of dogged his shit because we were loyal to Chris Barnes and Hammer Smashed Face, and everything else kick ass that he did. I still remember the comparisons that "Corpsegrinder ain't no Chris". That much is true. But they are both unique singers and bring something different to the plate. As I've gotten older in the last twenty years I have come to both appreciate and respect corpsegrinder for what he did with Cannibal Corpse. I loved the absolute crap out of Vile, hit after hit, including Bloodlands. I also still love chris barnes and early six feet under as well. Innate biases of the past aside, I love them both.
I really liked Corpsegrinder with Monstrosity. Imperial doom is one of my favorite dm albums. That said I felt the same way when he moved over, but have really came to like a lot of his material later on. Gore Obsessed is one that comes to mind. I guess this is kind of a comment for another post, though.
The first 3 albums are masterpieces but my favorite song is seed of filth, you just can’t listen to that song without banging your head.
Factssss
As a graphic designer who creates hard rock/metal album artwork, I roll my eyes everytime I see human skulls on album covers.
🤣🤣
You would hate Bonecarvers Evil album cover 🤣
It’s so overdone and cliche at this point lol
Skulls and metal go hand and hand
@@cajonbru they're a cliche. A good designer avoids them.
I had a fantasy Seth Putnam after death CD idea once, and a song titled was "Haunting Chris Barnes" 🤣🤣🤣
I sure hope he is, too. Rip to the bold,insane fucking fearless greats. May their spirits live on!
Well, Haunting Chris Barnes should be a thing.
Seth Putnam was a God of grind, even if the crybaby grind fans hate him
Everybody in Alston is gay
I fukin HATE that Seth died right before I became an AC fan.. 😥 I would adore to see them live.
@@cookiesontoast9981 it sucks more when you were already a fan who was looking forward to the next tour when he killed over. It was totally g a y.
Same shit also happened to me with type o negative
First of your videos I've seen 🤔 I like it 🤘
😁😁
I feel old not knowing anything by Six Feet Under after early 2000s. I still enjoy metal shows but I don't keep up with anything in the scene too much. I didn't realize Chris Barnes was getting hate. I had a good time when I saw them live back in the day. I went to both a cannibal corpse show and a gwar show in the last couple years and felt super old. I felt like the Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats show I went to a few months ago was more my pace now days. 😅
I am not a fan of death metal whatsoever! But I saw these guys in Cincinnati, and they were so very good! I remember really getting into their performance, and the singer kinda noticed me I guess, because he gives me a thumbs up, I turned around and everyone else was just standing there with their arms crossed, watching. I thought they were very good and very entertaining.
@AlaskanBullworm lol! Phuktard!
As someone who grew up when SFU was releasing their first few albums, it saddens me to see this.
I remember when Maximum Violence came out!! Dude.... there was nothing like it.
Haunted and Warpath with always be my favs, their sound changed a lot after that and got more muddy and (I think) they started tuning down. True Carnage was the last album I purchased of theirs, it just wasn't the same.
Welp, time to spin up some Haunted!!
Great video!!
Also Chris's 'eeeeeeeee' thing was first used in Revenge of The Zombie.
Hey man, didn't you have a video on Pantera? And if so, why is it not available?
damn i think these two bands have memorable riffs (especially CC, they got me in the heavier music stuff, like they were literally the first band i listened and realized what heavy music is). I'm sure of it. But sometimes i listen to SFU mostly, because of the bass player Jeff Hughell and there 's no way not to mention Brain Drill. As a bass player i really like his stuff and riffs. But man his tapping skills are insane i have to admit. I'm just a metal fan that can't judge bands and I'm not sure what I would do if all the heavy music didn't exist, so stay metal guys.
I dug SFU up to Bringer of Blood. They're just fun, straight ahead death metal.
Also, in my opinion, "Victim of the Paranoid" is one of the best songs ever \m/
I found Bringer of Blood at a flea market for 3 bucks. I proudly laugh at it on my cd shelf when I see that "artwork."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You overpaid
I’m not gonna lie, I enjoyed listening to Death Rituals, I blew the hell out of my car speakers when I was in high school from listening to Seed of Filth and Ten Deadly Plagues, which were my two favorite songs from that album. Other than that I agree with everything else you pointed out in this video. Great video though, keep up the good work.
Finishing every sentence with a giggle …
Loved the video!! When Bringer of Blood was released I became a fan. Not a huge fan but I respected them. I can honestly say from the album I only liked about five songs but I’ve listened to 6 feet more than I ever did listening to a band like Slipknot. My bands are Kalmah,In Flames,Mors Principium Est, and I absolutely love Atmospheric metal. Caladan Brood, Druadan Forest, and Be’lakor. Thanks for all your input!! Could you make an episode on what you think about Atmospheric Metal?
Yep, I'm a big fan of blackened melodic death metal which is what Kalmah is. I'd highly recommend you check out Children of Bodom, Norther (early stuff) Suotana, Catamenia and stuff like that since they're pretty similar to Kalmah.
Is it weird I have gone my entire life without listening to ONE Six Feet Under record? They've always come off as the Super Joint Ritual of death metal, no one really cared they existed. Kind of like when Phil left Pantera, but people knew Chris (and in the same breath, Phil) were still working, but it would never be the same as when they were in their original bands.
Great and informative video. You make a great show host imho
Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can never unhear the frog croaking cover of TNT by ACDC that SFU did. Life is pain 🥲
Haunted and Maximum Violence are essential DM.
“Insect” is an all time banger
I had fun seeing them on the 2011 Summer Slaughter tour. I remember Chris commenting on how he finally had members that could cover Cannibal Corpse songs.
Man, without a doubt, my favourite record is Warpath. Respect Chris for trying to sound different in every single song, even if sometimes it was cringy. Groovy riffs, pure death-and-roll energy, there's nothing like that album.
Warpath is fucking awesome, 420,war is coming , And Graveyard earth. Classics
I have not kept up at all, because I pretty much moved on, but Six Feet Under - Prophecy is fire.
@@The_Enter_uno Revenge of the zombie was also amazing.. line war is coming everytime there is fire siren near my house it sounds like the begging and I instantly start thinking war is coming not much a fan for much after maximum violence..
Bringer of Blood came out when I got into death metal and at the time I loved it but very soon after, I discovered Bands like Exhumed, Nile, Mortician, CC and so on. I bought "13" when it came out and it was soooooo bad, that I have not listen to the Band for years. Now I once in a while listen to some older stuff and even covered one song here on UA-cam. I think there was also a "beef" between barnes and Thy Art is Murder, because they also had a song named "Human Target". Barnes probably is not the kind of guy I would want to hang out a lot, also cause he seems to be some kind of Conspiracy Theory guy. Very nice video! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well if you watch an interview about his take on marijuana he believes some thing about like aliens coming to the earth and plating marijuana millions of years ago.
@@Tommahawk-dq9coI remember one interview where he legit said that “the human body is a cannibonoidal system”
Ive met chris on numerous occasions , i found him to be pretty humble and down to earth
@@brianperry2599 ok! That is cool! I just can judge from the stuff from the internet. Have seen them live 2 times but never had the chance talking to anyone. His influence from CC alone makes him "untouchable" in a way.
@@FutschasAnanas I agree completely
