Huge lump in my throat watching this... massive respect to Ken and Carcass. So good to see Ken behind the kit. It really doesn't matter about his ability now. That's not the point. It's the fact that he was there, playing. Thank you Carcass and thank you Ken. Love to you all.
*OKAY... IF YOU DIDN'T GET THE CHILLS FROM THIS DRUM SOLO, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN CARCASS IN THEM OWLD GOOD DAYS WHEN OWEN WAS A FAKKIN BLAST MACHINE, LONG LIVE KEN, YOU FREAKIN DRUMMING JIGSORE QUANDARY*.
That is true. He also wrote the majority of their lyrics. I watched a docu about the band from a newer date and thankfully Ken’s health seemed to have improved a great deal:) You’ll find it, it’s a 5 or 6 part docu here on YT, but i can’t remember the name..
carcass always had sick drum parts too, they always fit well with the guitar parts and were more than just straight stank and blast beats all the time. Surprisingly groovy at times for a goregrind band lol. It's also insane how much they all improved over their careers.
Massive respect, it doesn't get more metal than this. This man's own brain tried to kill him, and he has the guts and tenacity to fight back and succeed. I wish I was half as talented and tough as this man.
his drumming was amazing on Heartwork, it's on record now, and we can all keep coming back to those awesome rhtyhm patterns, his drumming was not for nothing, it will last for ages now!
Carcass are not and never have been Scousers. Not one member of Carcass has ever originated from Liverpool. Jeff is from St Helens or thereabouts - hence the bizarre accent, Bill is from Heswall, Wirral and Ken is from Gayton, Wirral too.
I want to cry, this guy is one of the best drummers alive, without him, Necroticism would never had been the huge legend/master piece that is today. Long life to Ken, a true god of Metal.
@Cormac Guzman Agreed. The whole album sounded like an industrial slaughter process & the drums were so brutal & metallic that it shaped the entire album into the classic that it is. I don't give a fuck what anyone says, Necroticism is the greatest metal album of all time. We're right & if anyone disagrees they're wrong. Simple as that.
He suffered an aneurysm and he got back from it!Huge respect for this "metal monster"!A great drummer and a great composer. It's one of this times that you don't care what he is doing..You just enjoying seeing him!He earned it and it's very rare..
Ken was the fastest drummer on his generation. Nobody could play that awesone a very fast drums parts. All my respects for Carcass and his great tribute to one of the best death/grind drummers in history.
Breaks my heart to see such a legend like that, I adore carcass for continuing to keep him in there live interviews and have him do drum solos , it just means they love him and still want him to be part of the show and that’s so heart warming .
Respect for this man,this guy was a drum-beast machine,in the good old days of carcass,songs like carneous cacophony,heartwork,emotional flatline,speak for them self.👍🤘✌
True, even on heavy ones like 'reek of...' or 'exume to...', he plays in pure harmony with the guitar arrangements, some parts even sound like classical music... Bolt thrower also have reached that level of harmony in musics like 'unleashed upon...', or 'destructive infinity' and others...
Always get a bit teary-eyed watching this. The man helped define the sound of two metal genres and it was taken away from him. Awesome gesture by the Carcass dudes. Like Jeff said, they wouldn't be where they are without Ken and I'm sure he still means a great deal to them on a personal level.
This made me cry, so glad I saw them on the Necroticism Tour. Ken was the first one on stage shooting water guns at his drum techs. Much respect for you Mr. Owen!!!! Carcass is the best metal band of ALL-TIME!!!!
Saw them on the CAMPAIGN FOR MUSICAL DESTRUCTION TOUR with BRUTAL TRUTH,CATHEDRAL, AND NAPALM IN CHICAGO 1992 AT THE VIC...WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET CARCASS AND NAPALM BEFORE THE SHOW..STELLAR DUDES... I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER SEE A MORE INTENSE DRUMMER LIVE. THE MEMORY OF HIS SHEER FEROCITY IS BURNED INTO MY HEAD FOREVER.BEST TO KEN!!!
It's so good to see him back on his feet and retracing his footsteps to drums. Good effort Ken, you're always a legend, I can't forget your champion work on Reek, Symphonies, Necroticism and Heartwork. I nearly wept, God bless you Ken!
First thing that made me cry in over 2 years. Ken Owen! We will never forget you! You have been one of the main influencers on my drumming. I don't believe in god, but maybe you do: God bless you, man! Your drumming is still influencing thousands of Grind Core and Death Metal drummers and it will always be that way! Thanks for everything!
Just great to see how Bill and Jeff kept him involved after his medical troubles. Ken Owen is a total legend. Formulator of some of the greatest beats, and riffs, in metail history. Bravo Sir
One thing that sticks out too me with Ken is even years after his surgery one of his signatures being the sudden change into tempo that tricks you up and you'll never be able to anticipate what he does next. One of the best drummers in metal!
Ken fue un gran baterista uno de los mejores del Death metal, aunque ahora no es capaz de tocar con Carcass debido a una hemorragia cerebral que sufrió a fines de los 90s.
The heart of the Heartwork machine, Carcass. He wrote so many riffs that made this band sound unique in the SoS/Necroticism era. Huge respect for what he's recovering from and for long may he live!
So sad that he's no longer even a shadow of the beast he used to be behind a drum kit, but it's wonderful the band did this for him and great how the crowd cheered him on and showed him respect. Surely meant a lot to him.
Una pena todo lo que vive Owen actualmente. Un gran baterista que merece el respeto por siempre. Y que por años llevo a Carcass donde están parados maximo respeto por este gran homenaje!!
Damn! If you see Ken on the interviews you can see how severely all those unfortunate accidents affected his motor capabilities. And then he still can pull out this behind the kit???? This is how you really know drums became almost an extension of himself and the guy is a top notch musician. I'm absolutely dazzled.
Man . . . this is way too touching for my metal heart . . . deep respect! Truth is, I went looking for the intro lyrics of Carneous Cacoffiny because I wondered if the rumors about those being from an actual physician/doctor. My friends thought that Ken was a med student once, but I all took this with a grain of salt. I still have no answer, so today I thought: what the hell, I'll ask ChatGPT (also not very metal, or is it?). No answers still. But what ChatGPT rendered was about what Ken went through in 1999 (I didn't know) and to watch this video!
Since the early 90's, Ken Owen was and still is one of my biggest influences. His style set the heavy drum standard early on in my percussion development and i then began comparing all other drummers to his advanced playing. imo, the only ones that came close were Gene Hoglan and Sean Reinert.
No había visto este video y me produjo una gran nostalgia ya que yo lo vi en vivo en 1990 en México. Un gran gesto de la banda por darle la oportunidad a él de tocar en un evento masivo y al público por tenerlo en frente una vez más. Ken Owen, gran baterista de los inicios del Grind...mis respetos.
Lots of respect to this guy on the drums. Mr Ken Owen..the same one who plays the drums in on of my favorite albuns Necroticism _discanting the insalubrious _🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
It hurts me to see Ken like this. I had no idea he was in this bad of shape. To hear the first Carcass albums and to hear him hardly be able to keep time now breaks my heart. God bless Bill and Jeff for inviting him up on stage to do this. I'm sure it meant the whole world to him at that moment.
This man has to learn how to walk again, mass respect to him and Jeff and Bill for keeping Ken in the fold and cutting him in on an equal share of any money made from Carcass
Shit happened to good people as usual :-( It makes me cry when i see him like that, but as well glad to see him behind a drumkit after his haemorrhage. A big respect to Ken for the great music & great drumming, love you men !!!
Huge lump in my throat watching this... massive respect to Ken and Carcass. So good to see Ken behind the kit. It really doesn't matter about his ability now. That's not the point. It's the fact that he was there, playing. Thank you Carcass and thank you Ken. Love to you all.
Fucking same, gotta be jeffs idea and bill, you know they're that metal band with the most punk attitude.
was lucky enough to be there and just happy to cheer Ken on and to see Carcass come back
Well said!
Outstanding drummer in his day.
I think they even had him doing backing vocals on the new album. Very nice gesture.
@@paulcraig99 absolutely that's real friends right there!
*OKAY... IF YOU DIDN'T GET THE CHILLS FROM THIS DRUM SOLO, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN CARCASS IN THEM OWLD GOOD DAYS WHEN OWEN WAS A FAKKIN BLAST MACHINE, LONG LIVE KEN, YOU FREAKIN DRUMMING JIGSORE QUANDARY*.
carcass litterally wouldnt exist without ken. so so sad
That is true.
He also wrote the majority of their lyrics. I watched a docu about the band from a newer date and thankfully Ken’s health seemed to have improved a great deal:)
You’ll find it, it’s a 5 or 6 part docu here on YT, but i can’t remember the name..
Found it.
If you search for The Pathologists Report you’ll find it in one part, and not 5;)
carcass always had sick drum parts too, they always fit well with the guitar parts and were more than just straight stank and blast beats all the time. Surprisingly groovy at times for a goregrind band lol. It's also insane how much they all improved over their careers.
Massive respect, it doesn't get more metal than this. This man's own brain tried to kill him, and he has the guts and tenacity to fight back and succeed. I wish I was half as talented and tough as this man.
Even the fucking stroke won't take your passion for metal away.
...it's in your blood
his drumming was amazing on Heartwork, it's on record now, and we can all keep coming back to those awesome rhtyhm patterns, his drumming was not for nothing, it will last for ages now!
Necroticism, his drumming is just unmatchable. Amazing!!!!
@@cormacguzman4460 100%
I go further back... symphonies and reek... every day I must listen to them. Pathological drums forever!!
Pure respect. It's amazing how much respect people can have for each other.
Sad it happened to him, such a legend and cool guy.
He used to be one of the most innovating drummers in heavy metal. A truly free thinking soul.
He also wrote a fair amount of music for the albums. The guy is a metal legend worthy of all praise, glory & honor.
Impressive how after what he's been through, he can do that.
Fair play to Jeff and co. for keeping Ken in the gang, interviews, videos and taking him on tour. Scouse stick together nature, that.
I think I believe you as I got good old pal who is a Scouser! Never visited Liverpool before but I'm thinking of giving it a try!
best people in the British Isles. plenty of Scouse folk in my regiment (Royal Irish). God bless Ken @@garycox9341
Bloody right mate. That's how honouring a friendship should be done. Massive respect to the lads.
It's what we call loyalty.
Carcass are not and never have been Scousers. Not one member of Carcass has ever originated from Liverpool. Jeff is from St Helens or thereabouts - hence the bizarre accent, Bill is from Heswall, Wirral and Ken is from Gayton, Wirral too.
Certified metal moment. This is why metal is so fucking great
I want to cry, this guy is one of the best drummers alive, without him, Necroticism would never had been the huge legend/master piece that is today. Long life to Ken, a true god of Metal.
I agree, still to this day, Necroticism is the greatest metal album of alltime!!!!
i agree Friz!! He was a BEST drummer
@Cormac Guzman

Made me cry.....saw you at your peak, brilliant. Love you Ken.

Yeah for sure, they're really good friends to him and it warms the heart.
I cant even imagine to begin too think how hard this would be after what he went through
This is such a heartmelting watch, the crowd was so awesome, respect!
better than lars
Saulius Buja
Kkkkk
YES
lol
🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼🤘🏼
Lololol
This was very moving. Massive respect to Carcass for setting this up! Kens beautifully unorthodox rhythmic-structures are sadly missed.
Awesome ! He was one of the drummers that made me pursue a career in music after listening to Symphonies back in 89
Caiu uma lágrima agora... Grande Ken Owen!
Saw it live, crowd loved it. Massive respect for Ken and Carcass. Ken is so integral to this band
Big respect to you brother, CARCASS......forever
This made me cry, so glad I saw them on the Necroticism Tour. Ken was the first one on stage shooting water guns at his drum techs. Much respect for you Mr. Owen!!!! Carcass is the best metal band of ALL-TIME!!!!
I cried to see him, greetings from puebla México!!!

I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER SEE A MORE INTENSE DRUMMER LIVE. THE MEMORY OF HIS SHEER FEROCITY IS BURNED INTO MY HEAD FOREVER.BEST TO KEN!!!
whatever you play, you're still best drummer and the gods of grind Ken!
I remember seeing Carcass in 1990 with Ken on drums. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.
fucking amazing. I love you Ken! Mick Harris may have invented the blast beat, but you perfected it on "Reek".
yes he did
It's so good to see him back on his feet and retracing his footsteps to drums. Good effort Ken, you're always a legend, I can't forget your champion work on Reek, Symphonies, Necroticism and Heartwork. I nearly wept, God bless you Ken!
One of the best drummers in metal history.
Thank You, Ken. You just saved my life.
Fucking legend! Heartwarming to see such an amount of applause and support for him!
This is absolutely beautiful.
First thing that made me cry in over 2 years. Ken Owen! We will never forget you! You have been one of the main influencers on my drumming. I don't believe in god, but maybe you do: God bless you, man! Your drumming is still influencing thousands of Grind Core and Death Metal drummers and it will always be that way! Thanks for everything!
Just great to see how Bill and Jeff kept him involved after his medical troubles. Ken Owen is a total legend. Formulator of some of the greatest beats, and riffs, in metail history. Bravo Sir
Biggest influence on drums for me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is awesome! Ken Owen is my favourite drum player ever! He's just fantastic!
My heart get hurt..Love you Ken!
its so great to see that he is still around. big respect to mr. Ken!
He's one of the reasons i started listening to Carcass🤘😝
One thing that sticks out too me with Ken is even years after his surgery one of his signatures being the sudden change into tempo that tricks you up and you'll never be able to anticipate what he does next. One of the best drummers in metal!
Ken fue un gran baterista uno de los mejores del Death metal, aunque ahora no es capaz de tocar con Carcass debido a una hemorragia cerebral que sufrió a fines de los 90s.
One of my all time fav drummers
The heart of the Heartwork machine, Carcass. He wrote so many riffs that made this band sound unique in the SoS/Necroticism era. Huge respect for what he's recovering from and for long may he live!
Ken Owen is an absolute fucking legend. I wonder if this man knows how many people he's brought joy to with his crushing drumming
Just amazing, a fucking legend. Hope he's doing better now.
So sad that he's no longer even a shadow of the beast he used to be behind a drum kit, but it's wonderful the band did this for him and great how the crowd cheered him on and showed him respect. Surely meant a lot to him.
Mr Owen Still fucken bad ass no matter what. Luv ya man. I wonder how your going now?
Una pena todo lo que vive Owen actualmente. Un gran baterista que merece el respeto por siempre. Y que por años llevo a Carcass donde están parados maximo respeto por este gran homenaje!!
God bless you Ken, You are a warrior! Thanx for the music!Respect!
Ken Owen is a legend of grindcore, and one of the architects of modern extreme music. He's got nothing to prove to anyone anymore.
Sad story(( his tight drumming is a part of my childhood. Respect ot his strength and to the band!
Felt great to see him playing again!
Respect Ken Owen,thank you Carcass.
Ken was a hard-hitter of his kit, ploughing could groove and loved his cowbell.
Damn! If you see Ken on the interviews you can see how severely all those unfortunate accidents affected his motor capabilities. And then he still can pull out this behind the kit???? This is how you really know drums became almost an extension of himself and the guy is a top notch musician. I'm absolutely dazzled.
Gotta love Carcass for always mentioning Ken, in his prime, he was one of the most outstanding drummers in the extreme metal scene.
The size of the crowd is amazing.
Man . . . this is way too touching for my metal heart . . . deep respect!
Truth is, I went looking for the intro lyrics of Carneous Cacoffiny because I wondered if the rumors about those being from an actual physician/doctor. My friends thought that Ken was a med student once, but I all took this with a grain of salt.

Grooviest fucker alive! His "mini solo" on This Mortal Coil makes want to lit stuff on fire.
Massive fucking respect.
That was amazing! Respect!!!
KEEP ON GOING ken owen !!!! i didnt know about waht happened to him...total respect for him and carcass.
No había visto este video y me produjo una gran nostalgia ya que yo lo vi en vivo en 1990 en México. Un gran gesto de la banda por darle la oportunidad a él de tocar en un evento masivo y al público por tenerlo en frente una vez más. Ken Owen, gran baterista de los inicios del Grind...mis respetos.
This man is a fucking treasure.

Ken is more metal than ten regular death metal drummers.
sad to see him like this but it's good to see that the passion is still there
He is a fuckn legend!!!! Just bow to him!!!
Pure fucking legend! Here's a real life superhero!
Gotta fucking adore the guy

Hero! And he wearing a "Gods of Metal" t-shirt....love him
This man has to learn how to walk again, mass respect to him and
Jeff and Bill for keeping Ken in
the fold and cutting him in on an
equal share of any money made from Carcass
Take a bow Sir, well done.
Super fucking inspiration right there. Regaining motor skills just to coordinate that beat just gets me choked up.
FUMIE your SMILE is beautiful !!!!
He's is a legend
Shit happened to good people as usual :-( It makes me cry when i see him like that, but as well glad to see him behind a drumkit after his haemorrhage. A big respect to Ken for the great music & great drumming, love you men !!!

He was one of my main influences as a teen. I hope he's doing well.

😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰
Metal loves you Ken Owen!!!
