My band was the local opener for 6FU around 2004 or so. Admission was $35 (for three locals and Six Feet Under). Roughly 1/2 of the tickets went unsold and Chris Barnes decided that it wasn't worth playing, so their merch guy grabbed the cash box and literally sprinted to the bus and the band left. Since we heard what happened right when we were done playing, we took our time tearing down our gear while an announcement was made saying that 6FU had canceled. A rumor started circulating the crowd that we ran overtime and that 6fu couldn't play because we bumped them (which we didn't). Long story short, I had to escape getting my ass beat by like 250 drunk Chris Barnes loyalists because the band literally decided at the last possible second that they weren't going to play, but stole all the money from the show making refunds difficult/impossible.
Chris' hate towards Cannibal Corpse was also present on their official website in the 2000's. As far as I know there was a bio section and on Chris' member page he wrote "Least favorite music: Post-1995 Cannibal Corpse".

My first "band" was actually just a 6FU cover band playing songs from their first album because the material was simple enough for everyone to learn in a short period of time. That album still has a place in my heart.
I wish I could hear this because I'm sure your vocalist was a lot better than Chris. Sounds like you guys were just playing Six Feet Under without the suck
Replacing Chris Barnes with Corpsegrinder was the best thing Cannibal Corpse ever did for themselves. Barnes' voice started to die off right around the Bleeding, and CC were getting better musically with each passing album. Barnes was the only person in that band who wasn't interested in growing his skills. He was happy just writing about stabbing queefs or whateverthefuck and blazing in his hotel room. And at the same time, the rest of the band matured and focused on being the best they could be. They needed a singer with the same mindset (not to mention someone who would actually take care of their voice) or they would implode. George was that guy. He may be a Warcraft-obsessed manchild, but he’s still 100% committed to his craft and takes care of his voice very well. And look at where the two bands are now. CC are still making solid albums in their 50s, whereas SFU and Chris Barnes are walking memes. Cannibal Corpse saved their careers with that move.
That's why I'm fucking sad that SFU's bassist, Jeff Hughell, a monster of technical death metal (Brain Drill) decided to join them to make some bland stuff...
6-7 years ago when I was still on Facebook and followed their official page, they announced an European tour. It was mostly circling around Germany, Belgium and the surrounding countries. I was six beers deep, an asshole and commented, that doing gigs in four countries doesn't count as a tour of Europe, when you leave out close to ten other countries. A few hours later I got a private message from their page. Someone was asking, if I could organize gigs for them. I've never booked gigs, even with my own band and nothing on my page suggested, that I knew anything about booking a tour. At that time I was working in a warehouse. Took it as a sarcastic joke.But it wasn't, they were serious.
I asked cannibal corpse and later obituary to play a venue down the street from my house and even a song from obituary told them it was a good place ironically they both bands did come through here obituary did play the song Celtic frost cover bad ass now cc is coming through again as well as morbid angel be ause of me probably not but hey there is like a belt thru three city's now I'm hopeful
I love the early Steve Swanson era of Six Feet Under. That dude came up with some crushing riffs that were so simple, and his tone was quite unique at the time too.
You guys need to hear Grindcore Joe by Excrementory Grindfuckers if you haven't. Graveyard classics was only fun to turn on TNT for my dad and see him laugh haha
I feel like Ola secretly distanced himself from Six Feet Under quite a while ago when he listed bands he was in and he said something like "Yeah that's all" without mentioning SFU
Me and a few fans were lucky enough to meet Paul Mezurkiewitz after a cannibal corpse show not to long ago, i’ll never forget when Paul let out a genuine laugh when a fan asked him what he thought of the new 6FU album lol
I'll always like SFU for the same reason I like Jungle Rot. It's knuckle-draggy shit that knows what it is and is fun. Unborn/Undead is a great pair of albums.
I'm disappointed nobody is talking about that hilarious "Barnes Isn't Noble" joke at 7:31. That almost made me spit out my coffee, keep up the great work!
@@pixelbasedlifeformsBarnes and Noble is a bookstore chain in the US and maybe some other countries. Kaylen replaced the "and" with the word "isn't" because Chris Barnes isn't noble.
True Carnage and Bringer Of Blood may aged badly, but they were pretty important at the time. They were heavily influenced by Nu Metal and Six Feet Under became an important gateway band to extreme metal. You saw young kids running around in their merch, who probably never heard about Cannibal Corpse and didnt give a shit about the "classic" DM sound on albums like Haunted. They were there for the stoner guy with dreadlocks doing rap growls over groovy and bouncy riffs. Heck there were straight up guest features by rappers. Thats what started the journey into DM for many people and deserves some credit.
You're exactly right here. I loved Six Feet Under, and when metal music went into the Nu era, SFU seemingly followed suit. Old heads like me hated it, but it honestly catapulted them out of the obscure and onto some huge metalfests. For that next generation of kids, SFU just was Death Metal. They didn't know the better stuff yet and the internet was just getting going. I cringed at him repeating Bringer of Blood over and over to that lame riff, but it was exactly like you stated, a gateway to extreme music.
Exactly my story:) SFU and Chris' lyrics dramatically expanded my mind and knowledge about extreme music as a 16-yo bong smoker in 2003, and I will always be grateful for those memories. The only real problem is - they should have quit the band when Steve Swanson left, and I still don't get it why Chris didn't just start a new band with Jack Owen instead of using the same old brand that once stood for something. Fans of fast music might find True Carnage boring - to me this is a stoned masterpiece.
@@KJKanon You guys are right. I was a huge fan of SFU back then, and loved them for the grooves. Might not of heard of much of the other death metal, or did and didn't care for it. I still pull up the live video here on youtube of Bringer of Blood in Germany. Love that song. czcams.com/video/nfqFydpp2Hg/video.html
I was listening to DM when SFU was formed, and it was a breath of fresh air in a daily expanding world of Suffocation and Incantation clones. CC and Obituary were doing well, and I remember reading Barnes and West wanted a side project to write simpler, catchier, groovier DM, Haunted was brilliant and immediately as Allen left, it was obvious who the creative force was.
The gall that that man has to insult Trevor and Corpsegrinder is unbelievable. My grunts after taco night diarrhea are more brutal then his 2020 album…squeaks?
You might not remember, but there was a period where you could buy a set refrigerator magnets that had words printed on them, so you could make your own poetry or whatever. I found them helpful for writing. Anyways, there were various sets of them, and I really think there should have been a Cannibal Corpse set. When when Barnes makes that 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEe" sound. Reminds me of Wes Scantlins version of 'About A Girl."
I'd argue that Undead was slightly better in terms of writing and song direction. Rob Arnold breathed some new life in that band and while I love Ola with all my heart, Rob was the better fit for that band in that era, but only by a slight margin and doesn't get the credit he deserves for it.
As someone who writes and records their own music and has very high standards for production value, idk how a record label, band manager, or even the bandmates themselves would let some of these albums get released to the public. Its a legit health crisis.
_"If, by any chance, you've always wanted to 'chat about weed' with Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under, then now's your chance for only six dollars."_ I feel like my entire life has been leading to this moment. Finally I can fulfil my purpose... x3
Being a fan of a band and still feeling alright about bashing them is a bold and respectable move. Some people should learn with you, for real. Also, obligatory EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@sixstringtv1 same here with Metallica, I love most of the things they released (even Load and Reload, my childhood's soundtrack), but I'll joke like hell about their questionable decisions.
@@hatempire I got out of bootcamp and found out while visiting the mall that Metallica had a new album released. I bought St. Anger and listened to it while going back to the barracks. Sheer disappointment. The promotional poster read, "better than Master of Puppets." That was bs. 😝
@@TheTenCentStory oh, St. Anger is a huge NO for me. Some good riffs here and there, but repeated ad eternum on weird unfinished structures. First time I ever listened the title track in the radio, I didn't know it was Metallica and thought "sounds like SOAD, but it's so weird"
I love SFU. Don't really care about the personalities of the members of a certain band as long as I like the music. Death rituals is amazing, I think you should give it another go. Great video. Earned a sub :)
We can't talk about graveyard classics 2? The album so bad that it's been taken down from streaming services? That's probably the funniest album they've made!
Its really shocking how no one mentions Steve Swanson's contributions to the band. His guitar work is brilliant. Its only after he left the band went to shit. Some of those songs you think are simple are far from it, especially on Bringer of Blood.
"Barnes sucks, but The Bleeding is my favorite CC album!" - Every CC fan "Six Feet Under has released 14 albums, and is listed by Nielsen Soundscan as the fourth-best-selling death metal act in the U.S." - An actual fact and not the same echo chamber opinion. No matter how much you haters keep trashing on SFU they keep selling albums and are among the top 5 best selling DM bands of all time. Cope.
So in 1994 a 15 year old me was bored with 25 bucks and went to the only used books and record shop in town (at the time) and walked out of the store with: Autopsy's "Mental Funeral", Cynic's "Focus", Sinister's "Cross the Styx", Pestilence's "Testimony of the Ancients", Mortician's "Mortal Massacre", Six Feet Under's "Haunted" and Slayer's "Divine Intervention." I enjoyed it for about a week then stopped listening to it all together. The Slayer album lasted about as long as SFU, they both ended up back at that same pawn shop. The rest of those albums I still listen to fairly regularly.
I saw Chris Barnes at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

i have no hate for chris of six feet..in the early 2000s when they toured more i seen them several times and had a few chances to meet the band after shows, i was at the show they filmed the double dead dvd live show in st paul mn, chris and the band at the time were always very pleasant with the fans and invited myself and the friends on the tour bus we got to hangout for a few hours playing tiger woods golf, eating pizza rolls and smoking Js..a couple years ago i got a Cameo from him for a friend and he out did himself with a lengthy video talking about those early 2000s shows and how grateful he was for the fans and the memories...no hate here....excited to see them on this tour with Nile in 2025 in minneapolis
six feet under is one of the bands who got me into death metal along side with cannibal corpse, morbid angel, death, Deicide and so many more and they always will have speacial place in my heart

Something must have happened with his mind, probably too much bad weed, and I don't even mean this as a diss or making fun of him - a friend of mine got his whole personality changed after what he called his "awakening", but people around him with some medical knowledge would describe as a drug induced psychosis. That's why we need to legalize stuff, so it isn't poisoned with lead and shit...
@@Knokkelman you don't get psychosis from "bad" weed - for some people with predispositions consuming it on a regular basis is just generally bad for them. Has nothing to do with lead and chemicals.
My neighbors and I love Six Feet!!! They have been excellent on some and goofy on others. I agree they released some subpar shit, but they are tons of fun and total party material
@@rorz999 watch interviews. You know how the internet feels for people that grew up in the 80s that were respected by hundreds of people in real life face to face ? zombie apocalypse.. and the only ones enjoying it are the people that believe they havent had enough say.(the bitter kid)
Got a personal story about him My dad who is a big fella 6'3 200 pounds was doing security for I think a six feet under show was doing usually stuff guards would do and Chris didn't seem to like it and told him to let them on stage and my father said no and they almost got into a fist fight.
Chris Barnes and fist fights seems to be a running theme. A friend of mine's ex was a frontman for a death metal band back in the 90s and he considered it a point of pride that he managed to get into a fist fight with Barnes at a gig haha.
@@somerandomguy4760 dude i'm pretty sure if someone was coming in to shoot up the stage they wouldn't be waiting for security's permission. The Dimebag killing was a once in a lifetime event.

@@Fireglo It STILL happens though...Look at the aftershow meet n greet with that poor aspiring singer Christina Grimee where the deranged fan shot her 3 times to death (RIGHT in front of her brother) and then pulled out a 2nd gun (cuz the 1st gun was a jammer) on himself commiting suicide SMGDH 😒. SOME REAL treats out there lemme tell you....
SFU has some killer tracks, it’s a shame how inconsistent they got and nowadays the releases are.. shocking. I think I found one track I liked out of the latest 2 albums. I’m not sitting through them again to see if there is a second track that I like, nope nope nope
its a shame because marco (although hes a stuck up prick) is one of the best drummers and jeff hughell oned of te best bassists in metal but the music just sucks so bad lol
I did not listen to this all the way through, yet. What I did want to say that while most of my friends in the death metal scene in the early/mid/ late nineties loved Cannibal Corpse and Chris Barnes, when six feet under came out and corpse grinder was doing his thing with Cannibal Corpse, we kind of dogged his shit because we were loyal to Chris Barnes and Hammer Smashed Face, and everything else kick ass that he did. I still remember the comparisons that "Corpsegrinder ain't no Chris". That much is true. But they are both unique singers and bring something different to the plate. As I've gotten older in the last twenty years I have come to both appreciate and respect corpsegrinder for what he did with Cannibal Corpse. I loved the absolute crap out of Vile, hit after hit, including Bloodlands. I also still love chris barnes and early six feet under as well. Innate biases of the past aside, I love them both.
I really liked Corpsegrinder with Monstrosity. Imperial doom is one of my favorite dm albums. That said I felt the same way when he moved over, but have really came to like a lot of his material later on. Gore Obsessed is one that comes to mind. I guess this is kind of a comment for another post, though.
I’m not gonna lie, I enjoyed listening to Death Rituals, I blew the hell out of my car speakers when I was in high school from listening to Seed of Filth and Ten Deadly Plagues, which were my two favorite songs from that album. Other than that I agree with everything else you pointed out in this video. Great video though, keep up the good work.
Rob Arnold deserves so much more credit for what he did writing Undead. Unborn was great and Ola did a fantastic job with it, but Rob is an unsung hero in terms of what he did to revitalize SFU. I feel like Ola gets more praise because he's more popular.
I remember he also assaulted Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation. I believe he posted something on Twitter along the lines of "not being a veggie burger eating pussy" and when Travis went to his tour bus to confront him, Chris sucker punched him. Cattle dropped from the tour, but played the same venues a day later for free with a few local bands, so fans didn't miss out. I got to hang out with Travis and he mentioned how sad it was to have someone he grew up listening to act like that. Cattle definitely showed what it was to be a masterclass.
As someone who grew up when SFU was releasing their first few albums, it saddens me to see this. I remember when Maximum Violence came out!! Dude.... there was nothing like it. Haunted and Warpath with always be my favs, their sound changed a lot after that and got more muddy and (I think) they started tuning down. True Carnage was the last album I purchased of theirs, it just wasn't the same. Welp, time to spin up some Haunted!! Great video!!

Yeah, that is partly what made The Bleeding so great!
The bleeding would have been a perfect album if chris had done something else than that "eeeee" sound. those "high" notes just ruins the whole record
And emulated by pretty much every deathcore band since.
I was listening to DM when SFU was formed, and it was a breath of fresh air in a daily expanding world of Suffocation and Incantation clones. CC and Obituary were doing well, and I remember reading Barnes and West wanted a side project to write simpler, catchier, groovier DM, Haunted was brilliant and immediately as Allen left, it was obvious who the creative force was.
Stop using initials, write you lazy boy.
West was apparently fired, possibly for hard drugs looking at his record
It's hard to talk to little kids about death metal
Dope guitarist I loved his very distinct style especially with leads
@@shlomogoldstein3373 the entire scene has become a political statement du jour anyhoo.
If you wanna talk about death metal WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEd
He just seems like someone that takes shit so personally
The gall that that man has to insult Trevor and Corpsegrinder is unbelievable. My grunts after taco night diarrhea are more brutal then his 2020 album…squeaks?
hahahaaa!!!
You might not remember, but there was a period where you could buy a set refrigerator magnets that had words printed on them, so you could make your own poetry or whatever. I found them helpful for writing. Anyways, there were various sets of them, and I really think there should have been a Cannibal Corpse set. When when Barnes makes that 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEe" sound. Reminds me of Wes Scantlins version of 'About A Girl."
That's called magnet poetry and it's still around. There's even a free online version of some of the variations.
Haunted is still one of my all time favorite death metal albums
Unborn is a sick album,Ola was a breath of fresh air,it's a shame they didn't do more with him.
I'd argue that Undead was slightly better in terms of writing and song direction. Rob Arnold breathed some new life in that band and while I love Ola with all my heart, Rob was the better fit for that band in that era, but only by a slight margin and doesn't get the credit he deserves for it.
I also like Unborn more. 🤘🏻
I didn't mind Bringer Of Blood, but I do agree that the Six Feet Under's best days are long behind them.
Stop listening to them after Death Rituals.
*D R I N K B L O O D G E T H I G H*
German live version of bringer of blood is pretty sweet
@@ouch2925 Chris killed it live but why does he sound so lame on the album
As someone who writes and records their own music and has very high standards for production value, idk how a record label, band manager, or even the bandmates themselves would let some of these albums get released to the public. Its a legit health crisis.
Ive heard a lot worse
I got the latest cd. Like guy b4 me, I heard way worse. Ever hear of defication? Makes sfu seem like opera
Most of 6FU's albums have been self produced and self released while not being under a contract label.
“Insect” is an all time banger
Man, I am a huge fan of these band review videos. I can’t wait to see more of them.
_"If, by any chance, you've always wanted to 'chat about weed' with Chris Barnes of Six Feet Under, then now's your chance for only six dollars."_
I feel like my entire life has been leading to this moment. Finally I can fulfil my purpose... x3
Six feet under is awesome I agree their older stuff is way better but Barnes is an awesome singer.
Chris Barnes with torture killer is goated. Vocals are shot but a classic album
No Warning Shot is still one of my favorite songs from my childhood. So cheesy, so good.
No, you cant do that here, sfu bad CC and black Dalia gud
I loved SFU years ago. And i still enjoy some of their old albums.
The old stuff is gold
I honestly can't believe they thought their last album had the quality to be released or at least to charge people for it.
Chris Barnes sounds like what my parents think Death Metal sounds like. When my dad makes fun of it, he actually does a better job than Chris.
I met Chris Barnes back in 2001 he was really nice to me he signed my birth certificate and he let me and my buddy watch their sound check
Sign your BIRTH CERTIFICATE 🤨.... REALLY?....
I had a similar experience. Great guy. Too bad he has a shit reputation.
@jamescon55 yup
It was the only thing I had that i could get signed lol
Tomb of the mutilated is still the best CC album. Nothing else Barnes has done has really hooked me in the same way.
Tomb of the Mutilated has some of my favorite Death Metal vocals, a shame he absolutely destroyed his voice within a few years.
Butchered at Birth is pretty underrated
Bloodthirst shits on anything with barnes
@@rusty9514 It was impossible for him to do what he did on the early albums without destroying his throat, sadly.
Worst album in their entire catalog
I like them
Me too
And that’s completely fine
Good for you
Everything people say is true, and yet that doesn't change the fact that "Haunted" is the greatest slow doom stoner death metal album of all time
Being a fan of a band and still feeling alright about bashing them is a bold and respectable move. Some people should learn with you, for real.
Also, obligatory EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I love Yngwie too, but I don't understand people who can't take criticism on someone else's behalf.
EEEEEEEE
@@sixstringtv1 same here with Metallica, I love most of the things they released (even Load and Reload, my childhood's soundtrack), but I'll joke like hell about their questionable decisions.
True fans are always willing to tell the truth. Fake fans just suck up and pretend everything is great.
@@hatempire I got out of bootcamp and found out while visiting the mall that Metallica had a new album released. I bought St. Anger and listened to it while going back to the barracks. Sheer disappointment.
The promotional poster read, "better than Master of Puppets." That was bs. 😝
@@TheTenCentStory oh, St. Anger is a huge NO for me. Some good riffs here and there, but repeated ad eternum on
weird unfinished structures. First time I ever listened the title track in the radio, I didn't know it was Metallica and thought "sounds like SOAD, but it's so weird"
I love SFU. Don't really care about the personalities of the members of a certain band as long as I like the music. Death rituals is amazing, I think you should give it another go.
Great video. Earned a sub :)
Thanks for the sub!
We can't talk about graveyard classics 2? The album so bad that it's been taken down from streaming services? That's probably the funniest album they've made!
I like Six Feet Under. I guess I'm not everyone after all
Its really shocking how no one mentions Steve Swanson's contributions to the band. His guitar work is brilliant. Its only after he left the band went to shit. Some of those songs you think are simple are far from it, especially on Bringer of Blood.
All of the terrible albums prior to Steve leaving were ones he played on. Everything from true carnage to death rituals was shit.
@@MarcusBlueWolf Death Rituals sucked? Are you fucking kidding me?
Steve's a bllllooooody legend
I started listening to death metal because of them. ❤️
not everyone hates SixFeetUnder. Everyone who you KNOW hates it....big difference
And 95% of the people who watched this video.
"Barnes sucks, but The Bleeding is my favorite CC album!" - Every CC fan
"Six Feet Under has released 14 albums, and is listed by Nielsen Soundscan as the fourth-best-selling death metal act in the U.S." - An actual fact and not the same echo chamber opinion. No matter how much you haters keep trashing on SFU they keep selling albums and are among the top 5 best selling DM bands of all time. Cope.
So in 1994 a 15 year old me was bored with 25 bucks and went to the only used books and record shop in town (at the time) and walked out of the store with: Autopsy's "Mental Funeral", Cynic's "Focus", Sinister's "Cross the Styx", Pestilence's "Testimony of the Ancients", Mortician's "Mortal Massacre", Six Feet Under's "Haunted" and Slayer's "Divine Intervention." I enjoyed it for about a week then stopped listening to it all together. The Slayer album lasted about as long as SFU, they both ended up back at that same pawn shop. The rest of those albums I still listen to fairly regularly.
Cynic/pestilence are fuckin immense.
That cynic could incorporate jazz into death metal was mind blowing.
That pestilence album is hot
Dude great editing and well written. Earned my sub!
Thanks! 😎😎
7:04 bro is just doing a Peter Griffin impression and thought we wouldn't notice
Chris Barnes was pretty cool when I met him ,he hung out with me and my friends and he smoke out with us
I saw Chris Barnes at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Some people enjoy getting really high and being dicks in public. It just proves that before Chris was metal, he was punk.
@@brianmorris364 it’s a Reddit copypasta origionally (supposedly) about the musician flying lotus
@@skinnyraptor9111 so this never happened lol I didn't think that sounded like Chris. He's fairly respectful and well mannered in public normally. Never heard of flying lotus. Lol
@@brianmorris364 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Lotus
Idk how much electronica/beats you listen to but he’s great. I listen to a lot of metal but this shit just gets me
@@skinnyraptor9111 I'd check it out, thanks.
What made this band great for the first 2 albums is simple.....Allen West and Terry Butler.
Obituary and death, such iconic members to back Chris. Haunted was my favorite thing they've done.
i have no hate for chris of six feet..in the early 2000s when they toured more i seen them several times and had a few chances to meet the band after shows, i was at the show they filmed the double dead dvd live show in st paul mn, chris and the band at the time were always very pleasant with the fans and invited myself and the friends on the tour bus we got to hangout for a few hours playing tiger woods golf, eating pizza rolls and smoking Js..a couple years ago i got a Cameo from him for a friend and he out did himself with a lengthy video talking about those early 2000s shows and how grateful he was for the fans and the memories...no hate here....excited to see them on this tour with Nile in 2025 in minneapolis
Six Feet Under live with full force is the greatest metal dvd out there
You need to make this recap for every single band ever! :D
six feet under is one of the bands who got me into death metal along side with cannibal corpse, morbid angel, death, Deicide and so many more
and they always will have speacial place in my heart
I had a fantasy Seth Putnam after death CD idea once, and a song titled was "Haunting Chris Barnes" 🤣🤣🤣
I sure hope he is, too. Rip to the bold,insane fucking fearless greats. May their spirits live on!
Well, Haunting Chris Barnes should be a thing.
Seth Putnam was a God of grind, even if the crybaby grind fans hate him
Everybody in Alston is gay
I fukin HATE that Seth died right before I became an AC fan.. 😥 I would adore to see them live.
@@cookiesontoast9981 it sucks more when you were already a fan who was looking forward to the next tour when he killed over. It was totally g a y.
Same shit also happened to me with type o negative
What are you talking about?
They fucking rule
Warpath holds a special sentimental place in my heart.
Definitely in my top three favorite albums
It’s hard to believe that the same guy who wrote the lyrics to Nightmares of the Decomposed also wrote the lyrics to the Bleeding…. Those albums are in different universes
Something must have happened with his mind, probably too much bad weed, and I don't even mean this as a diss or making fun of him - a friend of mine got his whole personality changed after what he called his "awakening", but people around him with some medical knowledge would describe as a drug induced psychosis.
That's why we need to legalize stuff, so it isn't poisoned with lead and shit...
The Rotting is pretty similar though
@@Knokkelman you don't get psychosis from "bad" weed - for some people with predispositions consuming it on a regular basis is just generally bad for them. Has nothing to do with lead and chemicals.
@@Knokkelman WELL stated 💯 percent 🤘. I can vouch for the same as I have seen it all in my 49 years....
The vocals are awful too.
Saw them at the Metal & Hardcore Fest in Worcester, MA years back. They're a great live band.
Barnes hates other death metal vocalists because they are infinitely better than him.
My neighbors and I love Six Feet!!! They have been excellent on some and goofy on others. I agree they released some subpar shit, but they are tons of fun and total party material
He's still a legend, he might act goofy sometimes...but he wrote and helped make some of the greatest death metal albums of all time.
The guy is a complete arsehole. There comes a point when it doesn't matter how good your music is if you're a terrible person
@@rorz999 I disagree.
@@rorz999 watch interviews. You know how the internet feels for people that grew up in the 80s that were respected by hundreds of people in real life face to face
? zombie apocalypse.. and the only ones enjoying it are the people that believe they havent had enough say.(the bitter kid)
Got a personal story about him
My dad who is a big fella 6'3 200 pounds was doing security for I think a six feet under show was doing usually stuff guards would do and Chris didn't seem to like it and told him to let them on stage and my father said no and they almost got into a fist fight.
Security is to stop unwanted people from getting on the stage. The band has the right to welcome select people onto the stage.
Chris Barnes and fist fights seems to be a running theme. A friend of mine's ex was a frontman for a death metal band back in the 90s and he considered it a point of pride that he managed to get into a fist fight with Barnes at a gig haha.
@@Fireglo I know that I never asked him what year it was but he probably didn't want anyone on stage after the Dimebag incident
@@somerandomguy4760 dude i'm pretty sure if someone was coming in to shoot up the stage they wouldn't be waiting for security's permission. The Dimebag killing was a once in a lifetime event. Musicians being hysterical over it is so hilarious. You're about 1000 times more likely to be killed walking the street or shopping at the mall.
@@Fireglo It STILL happens though...Look at the aftershow meet n greet with that poor aspiring singer Christina Grimee where the deranged fan shot her 3 times to death (RIGHT in front of her brother) and then pulled out a 2nd gun (cuz the 1st gun was a jammer) on himself commiting suicide SMGDH 😒. SOME REAL treats out there lemme tell you....
Haunted, Warpath, Maximum Violence are farkin sick albums.
Finishing every sentence with a giggle …
6 feet under and cannibal corpse are 2 of my favorite bands. Unburied kills it, actually I like all of his later stuff.
As a graphic designer who creates hard rock/metal album artwork, I roll my eyes everytime I see human skulls on album covers.
🤣🤣
You would hate Bonecarvers Evil album cover 🤣
It’s so overdone and cliche at this point lol
Skulls and metal go hand and hand
@@cajonbru they're a cliche. A good designer avoids them.
Meanwhile Corpsegrinder's solo album is absolutely brutally heavy and amazing
Well he’s better, that’s why 🤣
I got blocked by Chris on ig for commenting EEEEE
Snakes

SFU has some killer tracks, it’s a shame how inconsistent they got and nowadays the releases are.. shocking. I think I found one track I liked out of the latest 2 albums. I’m not sitting through them again to see if there is a second track that I like, nope nope nope
Exactly. Seed of filth from Death Rituals is not too bad.
its a shame because marco (although hes a stuck up prick) is one of the best drummers and jeff hughell oned of te best bassists in metal but the music just sucks so bad lol
I did not listen to this all the way through, yet. What I did want to say that while most of my friends in the death metal scene in the early/mid/ late nineties loved Cannibal Corpse and Chris Barnes, when six feet under came out and corpse grinder was doing his thing with Cannibal Corpse, we kind of dogged his shit because we were loyal to Chris Barnes and Hammer Smashed Face, and everything else kick ass that he did. I still remember the comparisons that "Corpsegrinder ain't no Chris". That much is true. But they are both unique singers and bring something different to the plate. As I've gotten older in the last twenty years I have come to both appreciate and respect corpsegrinder for what he did with Cannibal Corpse. I loved the absolute crap out of Vile, hit after hit, including Bloodlands. I also still love chris barnes and early six feet under as well. Innate biases of the past aside, I love them both.
I really liked Corpsegrinder with Monstrosity. Imperial doom is one of my favorite dm albums. That said I felt the same way when he moved over, but have really came to like a lot of his material later on. Gore Obsessed is one that comes to mind. I guess this is kind of a comment for another post, though.
I still like Six Feet Under. No matter how hard you try.
Get well soon.
@@sixstringtv1 Try again.
I found Bringer of Blood at a flea market for 3 bucks. I proudly laugh at it on my cd shelf when I see that "artwork."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You overpaid
I’m not gonna lie, I enjoyed listening to Death Rituals, I blew the hell out of my car speakers when I was in high school from listening to Seed of Filth and Ten Deadly Plagues, which were my two favorite songs from that album. Other than that I agree with everything else you pointed out in this video. Great video though, keep up the good work.
Chris barnes/six feet under is what people who dont listen to death metal think death metal sounds like
dude making all weed smokers look bad. smh
Rob Arnold deserves so much more credit for what he did writing Undead. Unborn was great and Ola did a fantastic job with it, but Rob is an unsung hero in terms of what he did to revitalize SFU. I feel like Ola gets more praise because he's more popular.
100% bro. Rob is one of guitar heroes, too. He’s a student of Death Metal, too. Dude is a beast.
You can tell the step up in quality when it’s basically Chimaira writing and playing the music
Rob is one of the last best true metal compositors, his job with Chimaira a and six feet is a school to learn
I remember he also assaulted Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation. I believe he posted something on Twitter along the lines of "not being a veggie burger eating pussy" and when Travis went to his tour bus to confront him, Chris sucker punched him. Cattle dropped from the tour, but played the same venues a day later for free with a few local bands, so fans didn't miss out. I got to hang out with Travis and he mentioned how sad it was to have someone he grew up listening to act like that. Cattle definitely showed what it was to be a masterclass.
Only thing he killed was his brain cells 🤣
Six Feet Under was a Decent Band
Dunno. I don't hate 6FU, nor Barnes..
I love the graveyard classics albums.
Absolutely
I love how terrible it is
How?
@@MacSmithvox I just do, Cannibal Corpse and myself go back a long time. When Barnes was no longer in the band I just followed him along.
I can never unhear the frog croaking cover of TNT by ACDC that SFU did. Life is pain 🥲
Prime Chris barnes with CC was 100x better than Corpsegrinder imo
Chris Barnes and Frank Mullen,.my fave vockills❤ really deserves
I actually really like the album Unburied to be honest. Something about his vocals on that one just sound killer.
As someone who grew up when SFU was releasing their first few albums, it saddens me to see this.
I remember when Maximum Violence came out!! Dude.... there was nothing like it.
Haunted and Warpath with always be my favs, their sound changed a lot after that and got more muddy and (I think) they started tuning down. True Carnage was the last album I purchased of theirs, it just wasn't the same.
Welp, time to spin up some Haunted!!
Great video!!
Also Chris's 'eeeeeeeee' thing was first used in Revenge of The Zombie.
I still love o.g. six feet under
45 years old here, I love SFU!
