my fav member would be Alex. Cannibal Corpse would not be the true Cannibal Corpse if Alex hadn't join.

jack owen... duh

I voted Barnes.


If I was a mod, I could correct your spelling mistakes on your poll, but sadly I am not. Anywho just so you know, Rob's last name is spelled Barrett. Pat's last name is spelled O'Brien.....Bob Rusay's last name only has one "s" and not two, and finally Paul's last name is spelled Mazurkiewicz.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, that'd be a wee bit rude... ah well.

At the moment, George... it's a switch between him and Pat O Brien (more so for Pat's work on Nevermore's "Politics of Ecstasy").

There is already a thread like this in the CC section. Please find it and post there.

Ah fuck it.....until I can find the old one....I'll move this one to CC discussions.

Alex Webster for multiple reasons

1. AWESOME bass player
2. founding member of CC
3. very nice person
4. He's freaking HOT!

chris barnes

way more brutal then new lyrics
his era of music was more thrashy and brutal instead of technical and not as brutal
he had really really low growls and doesn't do the high ones as much, or hold them for 15 seconds or some bs

alex is fuckin awsome too though, he talks to people and shit and is really nice and a fucking amazing bassist

I vote for Paul cause he always puts us on the list to see Cannibal Corpse for free, plus he's just an all around nice guy. The kind of guy you'd be good friends with even if he wasn't in the best band in the world.

Jack just because he was an awesome member of the band and being a guiatr player myself i can appreciate his true skill

BARNES.

Jack Owen a close second.
Those two together was best though.

that was John up there posting for me but I would have said the same

I didn't know you swung that way.

Corpsegrinder and Jack Owen are my favorite members. I wish Owen didn't fuck off.

nah neither did i????


apparently he's ONE OF THEM!!!!!!

not that i have anything against gays

I've gotta go with Corpsegrinder- I personally think he's the best death metal vocalist around today.

Alex takes second place.

i got rid of number 4 because well............... u get it
they are all great people from what i've heard chris is second for me

Now Playing: death - pull the plug

Alex because he's a cool guy and tolerates the more drunken fans, like myself, at shows!!!!! Not to mention bass skills and all....

suprised none has voted for Pat, thought he'd be pretty popular

I just voted Pat because he brought tech. playing to the band and on the Wretched Spawn DVD he seemed like an easy going guy who just loves death metal. Not to take anything away from the other members, it wouldnt be a band without all of them and I'm sure theyre all great dudes.

Actually...I would say Rob Barrett brought a decent amount of tech.....

more than before, yes. but not as much as Pat, I think. anyways, as long as the songs are good it doesnt matter how complex they are.

Alex Webster.

He's awesome, and he's been one of the only original members.

\m/ SUPPORT TRUE DEATH METAL \M/



Now Playing: Holy Deception-Deicide

WTF

ahhhhh, i don't think i can see it

He didn't close his tag. Fixed.

Thankyou, hell why am i saying thanks, ah well

I dunno, Necro, you're a wierd dude.

That i am, that i am...

I Voted Alex. He's amazing, able to play so fast, and only use three of his fingers in a galloping pattern. amazing, especially in his brief little solo for Addicted To Vaginal Skin.

i thought it was 4


maybe not?

No. I saw it in an interview with Alex. He said he uses three of his fingers in this pattern:
ring, middle, index, ring middle, index

He said he wouldn't do ring, middle, index, middle, ring, because it would be too much work on the middle finger. He himself even named that a technique a galloping technique, kind of like when a horse runs, it's a steady rythm. That's his secret for being able to play so fast.

the ring is your little finger, correct?


in which case he DOES NOT use his little finger, it looks like he does but it doesn't reach the strings or something

no dork, you ring finger is the one BEFORE YOUR PINKY.....or your "little finger".

i'm confused, your little finger is your pinkie isn't it

Ring finger is NOT little finger. Reread your post.

it goes like this thumb, index, middle, ring, pinkie....if you're still confused I can't help you

ok, yeah i got it now, i got into a bit of a muddle, don't worry, thanks

At any rate, that's basically the only way Alex plays his instruments, and manages to do it so fast. So now you know.

What do you mean "if Alex hadn't joined"? He started the idea for Corpse.

[COLOR=red] Hi people, I'm new to the forum and I thought this would be a good place to start. I've been into Cannibal Corpse for years now and personally my favourite member is George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher. The reason for this is because I absolutely love his growls and his lyrical content but I also think Chris Barnes was absolutely great in his heydey but I always thought George was the better vocalist. Rock on people. And Cannibal Corpse fucking rule!

Now Playing: Cannibal Corspe - Kill

welcome to the site I agree George is better

he doesnt write lyrics , nor growl .............

How would you describe his vocals, Rob?

half screamy , and screamy . Corpsegrinders vocals probably would sound cool over thrashy stuff ...... IMO

Oh really, because I thought when he was copying that old singer Daniel Barnes or whoever the guy was.....that he was growling just fine.

It's true. Sure Barnes had the whole brutality in the growl thing down, but George...he just had the power AND thethe brutality combined. He just sounds more hardcore, and more ready to snap and murder.

Sorry my bad about the lyrical content. I mean't he does a good job with the vocals and I didn't know he doesn't write all the lyrics. Obviously i'm not the greatest Cannibal Corpse fan ever thats for sure because I didn't know he doesn't write lyrics. And on your second point, yeah I agree he does scream more that he growls so that's my second mistake but he does use some growly sounds.

there are no mistakes on this forum ....... matter's of opinion , your entitled to yours ........ Im sure your a bigger corpsefan than I . Im only really a fan of 89-95

I'm finally starting to get you Rob. I really only like 89-95 and Gore Obsessed and Wretched Spawn myself.

I like some of george's stuff , gore obsessed is awesome - cutthroat - Wretched was ok for me , festering in the crypt i like , mainly musically . George is best in songs like headless , and hatchet to the head . what do i know ........................

I do agree with you it'd be cool to hear barnes on Hatchet to the Head

It would never happen, Barnes couldn't keep up.

I don't mean today. True Carnage era and before.

He couldn't keep up then either. Not without omitting some words and throwing in that cat scratch meow bullshit high that he has somewhere.

Yeah. That's something Fisher could do, that Barnes never could. Fisher could keep the growl going, and be able to sing impressively fast, and you could still understand what he's saying. and he would be able to keep the growl going without going for the scream at all.

no - stop

I'm not making shit. All I'm doing is stating what I do and don't hear between Barnes and Fisher. Barnes could growl like a beast, but he was too slow. Fisher could keep the growl and go fast. Plus, Shut up and Die has a point. Barnes' screams were annoying as hell.

Haha, I have a point, so YOU shut up on this one, thanks very much. And I hate to say it, but Animetal is right in this thread. Eat it and live with it.

lol but look who has more then george. barnes!

only because the George fans have other favorite members of the band too....it's not our fault y'all Barnes fans are drunk on so much man love that you don't see past the Barnes choice on a poll

why dont we seperate the site from old fans / and new - if it causes such strife with corpsegrinder fans .

If we want to talk about barnes , let us ............ seriously , it will push people to leave if this site is all about the new shit .

The band has a great history , I'm sick of the Barnes bashing - really .

I would never refere to corpsegrinder as " semen eating " or gay . So why do we do it to other members , past or present .


seriously -

Interesting idea Rob.

It's a given that most of us here like BOTH singers material. We don't talk shit because we truly dislike his work, we talk shit because we're assholes. All of us, even you, Rob, so pull on your man panties and roll with the punches like the rest of us fuckheads. You're not new to the dance, bro, you know what's up. You may be tired of the Barnes bashing...DUDE.....I am tired of Barnes worship, man. IT's been stated that the guy has (in an over-view of CC's career) spent the LEAST amount of time in the band with the exception of maybe Bob Rusay and Rob Barret, and yet their are still cling-on's like he still fucking runs something. He doesn't. End of story.


Now, let's shake penises and carry on. All in all, it's really no big deal, and there's no need to go threatening to leave. You know we love you in a hetero-ish kinda way.

True words of wisdom.

They are all awesome, but... I'd say Jack, he's an excellent guitarrist and songwriter, too bad he left...

BARNES!

I'd say Chris Barnes, without much hesitation at all. I've known DM fans that often say that the vocals don't matter much as long as the 'music' is awesome. I'd only half-agree cos while there's no denying that in all extreme metal, the music will (indeed, must) always be paramount, I still reckon there is such a thing as 'great' DM vocalists/lyricists. No matter what we think of Barnes in SFU and his overall decline in the latter, post-CC years, for me, Chris Barnes, (along with Frank Mullen of Suffocation) will always remain an all-time idol in the pantheon of DM vocal legends. And trust me, I'm a die-hard, highly passionate DM/Grindcore fan with loads of fave bands and tons more beloved records.
So yeah, Chris Barnes the top dog in CC for me always.

Thats the way I see it , Barnes is cannibal corpse .

See that's the kind of statements I am talking about Rob.....Barnes most definitely is NOT Cannibal Corpse there are several members whom without which there would be no Cannibal Corpse. Barnes does NOT make up what CC is Not now or ever. He was a small part of the big machine for a short period of time.

yes , 6 out of the 18 years or so is a short time . But most people who know of cannibal corpse think of the ace ventura era , when they looked and sounded the
way they did . Thats why your seeing more & more sites cropping up - just hailing the first four records . I havn't seen too many fansites of cannibal just hailing the later stuff . I think it makes that era even more hardcore - that it was short lived , thats kinda cool in a way .

Voted for Alex, I cant imagine Cannibal Corpse without him

thats true...

Being a DM vocalist myself, George is my hero.

I think Alex is also a quality gentleman too.

Heck, they all are great!

Pat and Alex.

George. Though all members, past or present, kick ass. I mean, its Cannibal Corpse, what's not to love?

I voted barnes - If he was no longer in the band , i would be devistated .

Who's Barnes?

I said Jack.
Corpsegrinder and Barnes are both about equal in my book, they both have really different vocal styles so I just decided to leave them out.

Alex. <3

Alex Webster is the best bassist I've ever known of and he is one kick ass song writer.

Now Playing: death-infernal death

Webster, for his incredible participation in everything. Interviews, lyrics, music.
