We Need To Talk About Chris Barnes...

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

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.

I really respect your closing statements about the matter.

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…..

[@ryanexsus]

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.

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.

"Irregardless" of him becoming the guy whose yard you didn't want your ball to go into in your neighborhood, let me "once again reiterate" Barnes did it better than anyone for a long time. Elvis may have ended up a bloated junkie in sequined jumpsuits in a lounge in Las Vegas, but it was still Elvis.

[@nemesis8626]

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

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.

Play Torment or NOTD over GG Allin's Brutality & Bloodshed For All. Its like when two of the same pedestrian spawn in GTA in the midst of complete chaos

I got blocked by Barnes on insta a while ago. Maybe I dissed nightmares of the decomposed, but I don't remember. He's been blocking everyone for forever

[@johnnyjohnsonston2581]

Very few metal bands are edgy these days. I agree with Barnes, the modern metal "scene" is a bunch of safe SJW cry babies.

Chris is my favorite death metal singer but the last thing he put out I liked was in 2006

[@BirdNoise77]

He's death metal's gene simmons

If I had to assign this video a letter grade, I'd give it an EEEEEEE.

[@JohnOrrTheArsonist]

Two things: 1. You're feeding a troll that's trying too hard to remain unforgotten in a modern death-metal scene. 2. Honestly man, why do you give a shit? Just play/listen to the music you like and, in your words to Chris Barnes, "sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up." His viewpoints aren't changing anything. It is literally not that serious to where a video rant is needed lol

[@lenol0315]

Can’t forget the sub genre”slam death metal” with kick ass bands like internal bleeding and dehumanized

so I've been listening to a lot of late 80s and early 90s death metal. turns out he's right.

We don't talk about Chris Barnes.

We really don’t

People being imposters on Twitter and Facebook is not 'someone managing PR' xD I came here expecting nothing, but I go away from here disappointed. Don't believe everything you see. Gullible people everywhere.

[@Chatman666]

You do realize that the next SFU is gonna be full of "f#ck the haters" songs, right? Or, he's gonna put out a bunch of Falling In Reverse covers. Which is basically the same thing. No. Wait...

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Honestly he's too spineless for that lmao, like he's been stirring the shit pot for years and has yet to pull something like that. Though the idea of a Falling In Reverse cover would be fucking hilariously cringe, a part of me wants to see that play out...

[@Chatman666]

Rumour has it that Graveyard Classics V could be a Rush tribute album... may god have mercy on us all.

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? That being said, everyone knows Chris Barnes has been a dick for 20+ years now. People fuck with dicks. Enough said.

[@austindurham5736]

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE"!!!! - Chris Barnes

[@autofagiatrupa9163]

The most stupid part about this video is that all those other extreme death metal bands wouldn`t exist without Cannibal Corpse in the BARNES era. They were the first band that made death metal almost popular. After Barnes left, Cannibal went more into their instruments, experimenting, and no matter how good they still are, they lack the poetry and groove that Barnes brought. Tomb of the mutilated had the most brutal death metal voice you can hear. Since 1992. Beat that, and express yourself on the matter after.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

That argument really only works if you ignore the financial success of bands like Deicide, Obituary, and Morbid Angel - all bands collectively released 4 of the best-selling death metal albums of all time, and did so BEFORE Cannibal Corpse's biggest commercial hit "The Bleeding" (which believe it or not is the 5th best selling death metal album of all time 🤷‍♀️).

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Also: Chris Barnes? Poetry? The dude wrote Fucked With A Knife, not the fuckin' Odyseey lmao, chill bud.

The "every death metal singer sucks except me" comment on Facebook was actually an imposter. Which disappointed me. I REALLY wanted it to be real hahaha.
