For me, it has to be jack as he has been there all along. However, i dont suppose any of you guys know why Bob left? because when he was around, they made possibly the best 3 albums they would ever make. It has to be said, he was very good as well. Also why did Rob Barrett leave? Have to admit, there does sound an improvement on gallery of suicide from vile with pat there instead.

I vote for Jack 'cause he makes it look easy.

jack

jack all the way

Jack-O wins. No doubt. My ranking for guitarist:

Jack
Pat
Rob
Bob

Jack!!!

JACK IS THE MAN, EVEN IF HE LOOKS LIKE A DORK.......


-I- -I- -I-

Now Playing: JANES ADDICTION: AIN'T NO RIGHT

He looks alot better since he shaved his head ... in my opinion

much less of a "dork" as you said

Yeah, seriously, the long hair didn't look good on him. His shaven head is badass, sets him apart from the others in Corpse. Maybe that's why nobody talks about him too much.

Who voted for Rob?

I will admit, Rob and Pat are damn good guitarists too. They deserve the horns just as much as Jack.

I voted for Rob too. The guy is an amazing guitar player and he rips. The stuff he did with Metaloent Creation and Hate Plow is fucking awesome. Definitely worth checking out like Retribution by Malevolent Creation. That album destroys.

And by the way, I want to make a comment on Bob Rusay. I know this will be hard to believe but the guy never played a single note on Butchered At Bith and Tomb Of The Mutilated. I asked Scott (the old webmaster of the old official CC massage board) about Bob and he told me that band was moving forward and Bob was sticking around in the same place. The guy also played horrible that it sound muddy. I guest that's was reason for the sound of Eaten Back To Life. You might also want to check out the guitar solos on that album to check how bad his playing really was. So anyway, Jack did his parts on Butchered At Birth and Tomb Of The Mutilated.

jack is awesome but he looks like a moby wanna be

i like when he had long hair

I voted for Rusay. HAIL RUSAY!!!



Just kidding. I know hes nowhere near Jack, Pat or Rob. Barrett is killer in Malevolent.

how can you say that he help write the first three albums and those are the classic corpse albums.

It's a close one between Jack Owen and Pat O'Brien. I voted for Jack Owen though.

Now Playing: Sadus - Fight Or Die

I voted for Rob Barret, because Rob and Jack together were just brilliant....

Pat is ok, but nothing unique and doesnt play off Jack the way Rob did....

the rob and jack solo duo, was the height of Cannibal Corpse and allways will be

I say pat because he brought the technical part of the band's writing and tat kicks ass

i say alex he writes faster music than jack or pat i think
[attachmentid=52650 name=Alex7.jpg]

dude hes a bassist......you are

hay dipshit it's a bass guitar

It's a BASS, this is about the cannibal corpse non bass guitar people, Alex is awesome, but c'mon..

Jack is, and always will be, the man.

your opinion

Well of course it is, I mean, who elses would it be?

i don't know

Jack Owen.

Voted for Jack, but Bob was great too

I think Jack is an awesome guitarist, but I happen to like Pat more. So, Pat gets my vote.

Now Playing: Control Denied - Cut Down

Rob it is, notice from Vile to Gallery there's an improvement, but from the Bleeding? No.

SHIT, IF WE WERE ACTUALLY INCLUDING ALEX....I'D VOTE FOR HIM AS WELL.......

I voted Jack Owen on the basis that he he is one of the best guitarists in death metal. Heres a picture of him with his eyes shut as usual.



Now Playing: BLS
[attachmentid=100336 name=n5.jpg]

Jack rules, but I must say when we saw them play Pat was throwin' it down.

Jack's well better. Look at him with his eyes shut the psycho! That makes him better. His eyes are shut because he's imagining killing everone in the crowd.

I wonder what he really is thinking about

I bet he's picturing the lyrics as Corpsegrinder roars them.

Now Playing: Mangled

Maybe he's just showing off to himself. "Oh yeah, i'm so good I can play with my eyes closed, check it out!" *solos*.

Maybe he's playing hide and seek with one of the roadies and he has to keep his eyes shut for the whole gig so the roadie has time to hide.

Jack owns them all

Jack period the man can shred and riff with the best of theam.

Jack Owen \m/

Jack Owen he's done so much for the guitar in Death Metal.

I have to go with Pat. He really helped bring the band to another level. His songs are usually my faves.

i vote for jack owen but just followed by pat , 'cause technically he is one of the best guitarist in the actual metal scene !!!

PAT WITHOUT A DOUBT.fRANTIC DISEMBOELMENT ANYONE?THAT'S FUCKIN' AWESOME!
[attachmentid=190844 name=skeleton1.gif]

I know Jack was there from the very start, but Pat is a fucking amazing guitar player and he shreds all, so my vote goes to him!

JACK OWEN... cuz he was there like all the time up til now :-( and he wrote kick ass solos and heavy as hell riffs.

I never got a chance to see Rusay live,I'd like to wait to see if Barrett joins for good before I vote,I want to hear him play live but I'd vote Jack if I had to pick right now...

iT'S pAT i tELL yOU.tECH AS fUCK

Now Playing: MEGADETH:IN MY DARKEST HOUR

Pat, definitely.

I like all even russay, he was ok not great just ok. But I voted for Rob cause he came through after Ownes quit had to learn the songs he wasn't there for and now hes coming back, plus hes my favorite guitar player in CC.

I gotta go with Jack! Rob is my second fav.

I voted for Master Jack. I never saw him play for Corpse but I just saw Deicide about a week ago and he put on a hell of a show.

Now Playing: "Born for Burning" by Bathory

Sweet dude! I'm seeing Deicide and Immolation tonight!!! I can't fucking wait!

I envy you. Immolation could not show up when I saw them. But Skinless RULED! Deicide was great too. My neck is still a little sore from that show and I saw it last Sunday. Have fun.

Now Playing: "Reaper" by Bathory

Thanks man! That sucks that Immolation couldn't play! Should be an AWESOME time, I'm fucking STOKED!!!

I'm fucking speechless! That show was fucking AMAZING. Immolation was INCREDIBLE and Deicide was FUCKING UNBELIEVALBE! Seeing Jack was a trip though! I'm so used to seeing him in CC! People were jumping off the fucking balcony into the pit! AWESOME crowd! AWESOME show! I was going way to apeshit, and was way to caught up in the show to remember the exact setlist(s)!

Sounds awsome.

Now Playing: "Edible Autopsy"

It was man! I almost don't wanna mention this, 'cause you didn't even get a chance to see them, but me and the 2 other dudes I was with at the show got to meet FUCKING Immolation!!!! Ross, Steve, Robert, and Bill were standing outside the front door of the venue!!! After nearly shitting ourselves, we casually made our way over to them, and basically just started up a conversation with them. I basically told them how much I think Dawn Of Possession kicks ass, and a few other basic things like how's the tour going so far etc. All in all we talked to them for about 5 min., and they were really nice dudes! Believe me, I'm not trying to rub it in, I wish you could've been there man!

Jack Owen

I personally like Jack more, but as far as speed & technicality go - Pat O' Fucking Brien. Watch his fingers move during "Frantic Disembowelment" on the Wretched Spawn DVD.


Now Playing: The Cryptic Stench - Cannibal Corpse

Pat is much better than Jack in speed and technic, but Jack is a better riff writer. I voted for Pat.

Now Playing: Children Of Bodom - Warheart

I voted Jack, but Rusay was cool. I don't care if he did suck, the guitar on Eaten Back to Life is some of my favorite.

long fuckin time no fuckin see all......GGGGOOOORRRRREEEE

Jack gets my vote

Jack.

Barrett ............ although Jack is kicking everyones ass right now ................

Pat for sure. most technical, most brutal.

bob because he made it so jack did everything and made cc sound good

I went with Pat, just because hes fucking brutal!

Personally i think Jack's the best they've ever had, his tapping is AWESOME although Pat has written some crazy ass songs.

Now Playing: Cannibal Corpse: Living Dissection

Its Jack no futher comments.

I would say between Rob Barret and Jack Owen.

jack = god

jack then pat then rob then bob

That's how I would assess the situation.

me 2

Pat O' Brien and Jack Owen

id say jack or bob,for me original members are the best imo

BOB, really?

Jack Owen

Jack Owen, because for one thing the only downer to him were some of the not quite solos on vile, but since he was on every CC release except kill and is now in deicide makes him the best guitarist corspe have had.

There's no doubt that Jack Owen has been a constant presence of undeniable guitar greatness for this mighty band. I reckon Bob Rusay, while allegedly a non-player on the two CC albums (Butchered and Tomb) I consider my personal favourites, had a major influence on the songwriting craft of those classic Barnes-era years. I thought Rob was more of a hot-shot player at home in Malevolent Creation, though I admit he had his famous moments on CC albums, as well.

So, I gotta say that I genuinely regard Pat O'Brien as my favourite CC guitar idol on a lot of levels. There's a stunningly gripping quality to his technical and brutal wizardy on guitars that I have always found singularly impressive, despite my by now well-known lack of total fondness for every Corpsegrinder-era album we have had so far. In short, Pat is not only my favourite CC guitarist but also gets my vote for MVP in post-Barnes CC.

Rusay was on both tomb and butchered; just look at the bab studio footage in 15 yks.

I don't recall seeing definitive studio footage of those album recordings. I was referring there to the widely circulated suggestion that Bob didn't play "a single note" on guitars for Bab and Tomb, which initially I found astonishingly weird to imagine. I know how Chris was very close to Bob and whether he actually played guitar or not on the two albums, most fans have known that Bob's influence on the songwriting, sound and style on Bab and Tomb were considerable.

And hey, I realize now reading my previous post again that my comment about the Fisher-era albums was a bit carelessly worded. Truth is, I love Bloodthirst, Gore and TWS, while Vile, GoS and Kill are the ones I've never been to keen on.

Where did this rumor come from in the first place; about bob not on bab or totm?

before Jack left I would have voted for him but I think Rob is the man - he actually gets into the performance where as Jack would usually just stand there looking like he was just bored as hell at times,at least that was the impression I got from him the last time I saw him play with the boys live

It seemed at points that Owens was slacking and giving it 85% instead of the full 100% corpse is known for.

Rob, mainly because I love TB, Vile and Kill

The best guitarists corpse ever had were jack owen and pat o'brien.

I love Pat's style of playing, so I voted for him, but that doesn't mean Rob and Jack aren't awesome as well.
