Bob Rusay was an excellent guitarist. He helped record some of the band's best songs ("Born in a Casket," "Covered with Sores," "Gutted," and "I Cum Blood.") (http://www.tombofthemutilated.net/Bob-Rusay-Cannibal-Corpse-Biography.html) and was perfectly capable of "cutting it" live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec4hUoymfRo&feature=related). The rumors about him not playing guitar on any albums are all fake: ""On Eaten, Bob and Jack each played all of their own rhythm guitar tracks, as far as I remember. On Butchered, Bob did some rhythm playing but Jack did a bit more. It was maybe 60% Jack, 40% Bob on that one. By the time we went in to record Tomb, it had become clear that Jack was the stronger rhythm player of the two, so after some discussion with Scott Burns we decided to have Jack play all of the rhythms on that album. This was not intended to insult Bob of course, it's a common practice for metal bands to choose one guitarist of a guitar team to do all of the rhythms to make the album sound tighter." And looking at videos of live performances from when Bob was in Cannibal Corpse, it appears that he had no problem playing any of the songs"- Alex Webster. He quit CC to pursue a career outside of music. Case closed.
Thanks for the info
