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
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.
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
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 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.
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. th-cam.com/video/nfqFydpp2Hg/w-d-xo.html
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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 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!
@@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
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
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
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
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
Verminous was far from my favorite tbdm album but there’s no way one of the most mid bands in death metal had shit to say on Trevor strnads vocals 💀 His vocal style was fucking phenomenal and a lot of his lyrics were nothing short of awe inspiring poetry ie. Funeral thirst, miasma etc. The only death metal band that I can look the other way at some of their corny whimsical songs while still enjoying because of the sheer charm they had
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. 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....
_"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
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 Like Some of six Feet under's Music. Chris was.part of Caninal Corpse's [ " The Bleeding" ] One of the Genre's Greatest Albums. He is Still a Legend.🤘
Barnes's guttural vocals on True Carnage sounded liked because he said that he tried bringing back his style he had on Butchered at Birth and Tomb Of The Mutilated.
I was really into this until about halfway through. You said something about youths and after that all I could think about was Joe Pesci in my cousin Vinny when he's talking to the judge. "two youts." I love that movie and that scene, so I'm going to have to come back to this. 😅
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.
Hey. Now I watched a lot of your stuff and here I wanna ask why you didn't mention the "Bringer des Blutes" version since you are from Germany as well. That one was funny when I listened to it first back in the day.
I am not a fan of death metal whatsoever! But I saw these guys in Cincinnati, and they were so very good! I remember really getting into their performance, and the singer kinda noticed me I guess, because he gives me a thumbs up, I turned around and everyone else was just standing there with their arms crossed, watching. I thought they were very good and very entertaining.
@@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)
My friends band toured with sfu ca 2010 and Barnes was such a diva. He barely spoke with any of the other bands and even got a hotel room every night while the other bands as well as sfu slept on the bus. I must say though I actually love his EEEEEE, its so ugly and I can't get enough
I dug SFU up to Bringer of Blood. They're just fun, straight ahead death metal. Also, in my opinion, "Victim of the Paranoid" is one of the best songs ever \m/
More than half of this video is just slander. Haunted, Maximum Violence, 13, Undead, Unborn, Crypt of the devil are all good albums. Commandment, Death Rituals and Torment are even decent. I’d say the only sort of weak links I’d say are Warpath, True Carnage, and Nightmares. People just don’t like Chris, but like it or not he’s a godamn Pioneer and one of the most true and authentic death metal vocalists.
I remember when Ola announced he got the gig. I messaged him with my congratulations and let him know it was recognition for his hard work and a great opportunity to move forward in his music career. But I ended by pointing out the obvious, that SFU are beneath him pretty much across the board. I was thrilled when he moved on from them.
I will always listen to and wear six feet under shirts when I was in school I was surrounded by scene and emo kids who all wore tight yellow pants and pink jackets, and both guys and girls had the same hair styles and make up. SFU also helped keep me in the mind frame of never letting anyone bully me. Not gonna pretend the last couple are anything great but everyone can admit at one point Chris was the deadliest voice and SFU was the deadliest sound in metal. At the end of the day though I could care less what you listen too as long as metal lives. Even if I think every band you listen too sucks doesn’t mean we can’t be friends
Fun fact: Despite his feud with Barnes, Seth Putnam was actually a fan of Six Feet Under's music, and said _Murdered in the Basement_ (off _Bringer of Blood)_ was his favorite song of theirs.
I was at the Living Room in Providence, RI when 6FU was the headliner. Seth Putnam showed up and Barnes hid in his van until Putnam was asked to leave.
I legitimately cannot understand how people say Chris Barnes was a better vocalist that Corpsegrined. It's so obvious who's had actual training, and anyone with functioning ears and gray matter can tell that.
It's easy to say that now. Years of smoking have destroyed Chris' voice. Yes, he sounds like shit now, but there's a reason he was considered one of the best Death Metal singers of his era. He had this versatility about him and was the kind of singer that few could imitate. Corpsegrinder is a machine, but he lacks the variety that Chris was able to produce in his glory days. I guess you could see it like this; Corpsegrinder is your dependable truck that has repeatedly got the job done while Chris is a sportscar that turned heads twenty to thirty years ago before getting all rusted up from years of abuse.
It is not about "better". Barnes vocals on the early CC albums are far more brutal and disgusting than George's. Early CC sounds way more unpolished and raw, which is what some people prefer, me jncluded.
Regarding the music: I have to agree with most of your comments on all of the albums except the comments on Crypt of The Devil. For me this is a really really good album, and actually I find a reason for it to be: the songwriting credits go to the Hall brothers of Cannabis Corpse. I find it way more interesting than the one in which Ola Englund was involved, but I guess all the hype and reputation about him made everyone to think his SFU was a 'better' album (despite being credited in the composition of only 2 songs). Crypt of the Devil has a lot of great riffs, great drumming and sounds good (production-wise). Regarding Nightmares of the Decomposed, the only part which makes me feel bad somehow is that the songwriting credits are for Jack Owen, which for me it's one of the best guitarists in the whole death metal genre. Regarding Chris Barnes: one of the only complaints I have with the death metal fans / community is the fact that they should be more respectful with the 'iconic' part of Chirs Barnes. Of course the guy is special and probably belongs to another 'era' if you want to look at it like that, but let's be honest: he really had to cut through a lot of disadvantages and obstacles during his early Cannibal Corpse years. I mean, people tend to think that nowadays you can sing whatever you want and play your 'brutal' music because you have all the digital tools and all of that, but come on, CC was already playing Moscow in 1993! They had to go through a lot of barriers and censorship throughout the years and battle with prejudice and limitations. What we should understand, I guess, is that mostly no one, except the grumpy/cringy personality of Chris Barnes, could have been able to do the task of bringing bands like CC to the surface. If it wasn't because of his personality or eccentricity, most of Death Metal and subgenres wouldn't exist nowadays in the same way. Just let the old man keep growing old and stupid, who the f*ck cares anyway. If you don't like his music or shows, just stay away. Cheers!
You do realize that Brandon Ellis of Black Dahlia Murder fame was on that album too, right? It had a lot of very creative people working on it which is why many people regard it as a high point in SFU rather steady career of decent albeit lackluster music. Chris goes through phases where the guy either has his shit together or he doesn't. When he got together these great minds to play on Crypt of the Devil, he had his shit together. Is it the best album ever? No. Is it the best SFU abulm? No. But what it did do was give two up and coming guitarists a spring board to jump from.
@@Charles_Anthony Hey man. Didn't know about Brandon's contribution but he's such an outstanding player that his input definitely improved the other guy's work even more. And I agree with you with the CB phases.
Bringer of Blood came out when I got into death metal and at the time I loved it but very soon after, I discovered Bands like Exhumed, Nile, Mortician, CC and so on. I bought "13" when it came out and it was soooooo bad, that I have not listen to the Band for years. Now I once in a while listen to some older stuff and even covered one song here on TH-cam. I think there was also a "beef" between barnes and Thy Art is Murder, because they also had a song named "Human Target". Barnes probably is not the kind of guy I would want to hang out a lot, also cause he seems to be some kind of Conspiracy Theory guy. Very nice video! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well if you watch an interview about his take on marijuana he believes some thing about like aliens coming to the earth and plating marijuana millions of years ago.
@@brianperry2599 ok! That is cool! I just can judge from the stuff from the internet. Have seen them live 2 times but never had the chance talking to anyone. His influence from CC alone makes him "untouchable" in a way.
Listen to em on occasion but they've never really hooked me. I do, however, really like the covers albums they've done. Really great way to discover new bands.
Feasting on the blood of the insane made a big impact on me. I tried cannibal corpse, but i couldnt get it. I love Torture Killer a lot. Not really related, but thats my pick.
Is it weird I have gone my entire life without listening to ONE Six Feet Under record? They've always come off as the Super Joint Ritual of death metal, no one really cared they existed. Kind of like when Phil left Pantera, but people knew Chris (and in the same breath, Phil) were still working, but it would never be the same as when they were in their original bands.
I was 15 when 'Haunted' was released, at the time I thought "I see what they're trying to do, pretty cool, they've got my attention.." and it just.. never improved. The "groove" sound in metal was very, very hip at the time so I guess it's no surprise they jumped on that train along with many others. But honestly if you're going to go that route you NEED to have a good sense of rhythm and overall timing, which no one in any line-up of that band I'm aware of really did aside from Allen West.
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.

Glad for all your opinion? But for me 6 ft is on top of the list of one of the most badass death metal bands out there. I like six feet under their sound is awesome and I will always be a six feet under fan I like Chris Barnes and I like the sound that his band makes
"Maximum Violence" was the last listenable album from SFU. I remember hearing Graveyard Classics 1 for the first time as a kid, and even as a dumb brat that throught that Sepultura was the heaviest band on the planet i was clever enough to never ever heard anything from SFU again. Never seen a band jumping the shark so bad.
I might be one of the few that actually likes Six Feet Under specifically for their cringe factor lol the "EEEEEEEEEEEEE" Lyrics always bring a smile to my face and honestly, the "true death metal" controversy is funny and childish, especially coming from a fanbase that is supposed to be all about being offensive and being edge lords, suddenly gets offended when a dude says a thing on twatter.
I grew up with the old school Cannibal Corpse and though I liked them, the breakdown always lost me because they would have a killer riff and then lose it. I found six feet under accidentally at the mall. I took a chance on it because I saw that Chris Barnes and Geezer Butler on the Same album. Instant fan.. and my friends too
I'm glad you gave maximum violence the credit it deserves. SFU was my first death metal concert and feasting on the blood of the insane was the shits. I saw them with TBDM and Whitechapel.
I'll admit I love old Six Feet Under. Simple and groovey, catchy and fun to blast in the car on the road. It brings back fond memories just out of highschool. Old Cannibal Corpse was some of the best death metal at the time and is surely regarded as classic albums. Where Six Feet Under went downhill was covering AC / DC and others in Graveyard Classics and all the mediocre crap released since. As a person, I couldn't care less about what he does.
I was there for the Seth Putnam incident, yeah it sorta sent down like that with Chris retreating to his bus and refusing to come out. Barnes's era of CC changed everything and The Haunted was great, but it sorta ends there for me. I always end up jumping ship when I feel like it's finally set sail.
Six Feet Under started off strong, and by that I mean Haunted was pretty damn good, but IMO signs of Barnes vocal degeneration starting showing as far back as Cannibal Corpse's The Bleeding. George Fishers voice has remained constantly strong throughout his tenure with the band, while Chris has become barely a shell of his former self. Now credit where credit is due, with his lyrics on the first 4 Cannibal Corpse albums he set a new standard for gory lyrics. Nowadays, its like he's a 14 year old kid who listened to old Cannibal and is trying to emulate......poorly. Also, I believe the first example of Barnes's patented "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE" can actually be found in his version of "Devoured By Vermin" before they hired Corpsegrinder.
Their recent stuff is what non-metal listeners think what metal is

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 like those albums, just don't take em seriously
@@honjon666 Excrementory Grindfuckers is awesome!
Watch me exploooooooooode
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 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 🤣
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.
Meh, I'll give you that
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.
@@KJKanon I am not even familiar with that track and don't think I want to be! After Maximum Violence I was done, and never liked Warpath.
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.

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!
FINALLY someone else noticed. 170 thousand views and only two people pointed out my joke 🤣🤣
Can you explain? I didn’t get the joke.
@@pixelbasedlifeforms theres a american bookstore called Barnes & Noble
@@pixelbasedlifeforms Barnes and noble the book store…. Get it
@@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.
To be fair, Chris Barnes started with that "Eeeeeee!" screeching long before SFU. You can hear it on a quite a few Cannibal Corpse songs.
Yeah, well... it's way worse now.... WAY WORSE! My god, I couldn't stand listening to that last album for over 10 seconds!
His high screams on The Bleeding are awful and I don't think enough people acknowledge that.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Gotta give it to the man. That EEEEE is quite unique.
Six feet under is awesome I agree their older stuff is way better but Barnes is an awesome singer.
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!
Chris Barnes is the Steven Seagal of metal.
💯 %
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
Snakes is cool. You don’t get it.
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"
If you wanna talk about death metal WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEd
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
I honestly can't believe they thought their last album had the quality to be released or at least to charge people for it.
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
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
6 feet under and cannibal corpse are 2 of my favorite bands. Unburied kills it, actually I like all of his later stuff.
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
Dude great editing and well written. Earned my sub!
Thanks! 😎😎
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.
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
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
You need to make this recap for every single band ever! :D
Verminous was far from my favorite tbdm album but there’s no way one of the most mid bands in death metal had shit to say on Trevor strnads vocals 💀 His vocal style was fucking phenomenal and a lot of his lyrics were nothing short of awe inspiring poetry ie. Funeral thirst, miasma etc. The only death metal band that I can look the other way at some of their corny whimsical songs while still enjoying because of the sheer charm they had
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....
_"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
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 looked up death metal from 2013 and Gorguts' Colored Sand came out that year...that has to be one of the best right?
For sure
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
I Like Some of six Feet under's Music. Chris was.part of Caninal Corpse's [ " The Bleeding" ] One of the Genre's Greatest Albums. He is Still a Legend.🤘
Barnes's guttural vocals on True Carnage sounded liked because he said that he tried bringing back his style he had on Butchered at Birth and Tomb Of The Mutilated.
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
Fake news.. I'm somebody and I love six feet under
I was really into this until about halfway through. You said something about youths and after that all I could think about was Joe Pesci in my cousin Vinny when he's talking to the judge. "two youts." I love that movie and that scene, so I'm going to have to come back to this. 😅
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.
Hey. Now I watched a lot of your stuff and here I wanna ask why you didn't mention the "Bringer des Blutes" version since you are from Germany as well. That one was funny when I listened to it first back in the day.
A couple of years ago I saw Six Feet Under attempt to cover Hammer Smashed Face. It was absolutely ATROCIOUS.
I am not a fan of death metal whatsoever! But I saw these guys in Cincinnati, and they were so very good! I remember really getting into their performance, and the singer kinda noticed me I guess, because he gives me a thumbs up, I turned around and everyone else was just standing there with their arms crossed, watching. I thought they were very good and very entertaining.
@AlaskanBullworm lol! Phuktard!
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)
My friends band toured with sfu ca 2010 and Barnes was such a diva. He barely spoke with any of the other bands and even got a hotel room every night while the other bands as well as sfu slept on the bus. I must say though I actually love his EEEEEE, its so ugly and I can't get enough
If you can afford the hotel, sleep in a bed. Lol
I dug SFU up to Bringer of Blood. They're just fun, straight ahead death metal.
Also, in my opinion, "Victim of the Paranoid" is one of the best songs ever \m/
More than half of this video is just slander. Haunted, Maximum Violence, 13, Undead, Unborn, Crypt of the devil are all good albums. Commandment, Death Rituals and Torment are even decent. I’d say the only sort of weak links I’d say are Warpath, True Carnage, and Nightmares. People just don’t like Chris, but like it or not he’s a godamn Pioneer and one of the most true and authentic death metal vocalists.
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.
I like them
Me too
And that’s completely fine
Good for you
“Insect” is an all time banger
I remember when Ola announced he got the gig. I messaged him with my congratulations and let him know it was recognition for his hard work and a great opportunity to move forward in his music career. But I ended by pointing out the obvious, that SFU are beneath him pretty much across the board. I was thrilled when he moved on from them.
I will always listen to and wear six feet under shirts when I was in school I was surrounded by scene and emo kids who all wore tight yellow pants and pink jackets, and both guys and girls had the same hair styles and make up. SFU also helped keep me in the mind frame of never letting anyone bully me. Not gonna pretend the last couple are anything great but everyone can admit at one point Chris was the deadliest voice and SFU was the deadliest sound in metal. At the end of the day though I could care less what you listen too as long as metal lives. Even if I think every band you listen too sucks doesn’t mean we can’t be friends
Warpath holds a special sentimental place in my heart.
Definitely in my top three favorite albums
0:34 Wow that Twitter bio is the most delusional thing I've seen today.
Dunno. I don't hate 6FU, nor Barnes..
Six Feet Under live with full force is the greatest metal dvd out there
Fun fact: Despite his feud with Barnes, Seth Putnam was actually a fan of Six Feet Under's music, and said _Murdered in the Basement_ (off _Bringer of Blood)_ was his favorite song of theirs.
I was at the Living Room in Providence, RI when 6FU was the headliner. Seth Putnam showed up and Barnes hid in his van until Putnam was asked to leave.
@@POWwrestling So it did happen 😂
@@MichaelD8393 yes it happened. I saw it happen. If Barnes ever denies it he's a lying sack of sh!t.
@@MichaelD8393 of course it did, chris barnes is a...
@@lb5818 Exactly 😂
Another reason Undead is a killer album is that Rob Arnold from Chimaira was 2nd guitar, and for some reason also did bass for that album.
I legitimately cannot understand how people say Chris Barnes was a better vocalist that Corpsegrined. It's so obvious who's had actual training, and anyone with functioning ears and gray matter can tell that.
It's easy to say that now. Years of smoking have destroyed Chris' voice. Yes, he sounds like shit now, but there's a reason he was considered one of the best Death Metal singers of his era. He had this versatility about him and was the kind of singer that few could imitate. Corpsegrinder is a machine, but he lacks the variety that Chris was able to produce in his glory days.
I guess you could see it like this; Corpsegrinder is your dependable truck that has repeatedly got the job done while Chris is a sportscar that turned heads twenty to thirty years ago before getting all rusted up from years of abuse.
It is not about "better". Barnes vocals on the early CC albums are far more brutal and disgusting than George's. Early CC sounds way more unpolished and raw, which is what some people prefer, me jncluded.
Regarding the music: I have to agree with most of your comments on all of the albums except the comments on Crypt of The Devil. For me this is a really really good album, and actually I find a reason for it to be: the songwriting credits go to the Hall brothers of Cannabis Corpse. I find it way more interesting than the one in which Ola Englund was involved, but I guess all the hype and reputation about him made everyone to think his SFU was a 'better' album (despite being credited in the composition of only 2 songs). Crypt of the Devil has a lot of great riffs, great drumming and sounds good (production-wise). Regarding Nightmares of the Decomposed, the only part which makes me feel bad somehow is that the songwriting credits are for Jack Owen, which for me it's one of the best guitarists in the whole death metal genre.
Regarding Chris Barnes: one of the only complaints I have with the death metal fans / community is the fact that they should be more respectful with the 'iconic' part of Chirs Barnes. Of course the guy is special and probably belongs to another 'era' if you want to look at it like that, but let's be honest: he really had to cut through a lot of disadvantages and obstacles during his early Cannibal Corpse years. I mean, people tend to think that nowadays you can sing whatever you want and play your 'brutal' music because you have all the digital tools and all of that, but come on, CC was already playing Moscow in 1993! They had to go through a lot of barriers and censorship throughout the years and battle with prejudice and limitations. What we should understand, I guess, is that mostly no one, except the grumpy/cringy personality of Chris Barnes, could have been able to do the task of bringing bands like CC to the surface. If it wasn't because of his personality or eccentricity, most of Death Metal and subgenres wouldn't exist nowadays in the same way. Just let the old man keep growing old and stupid, who the f*ck cares anyway. If you don't like his music or shows, just stay away. Cheers!
You do realize that Brandon Ellis of Black Dahlia Murder fame was on that album too, right? It had a lot of very creative people working on it which is why many people regard it as a high point in SFU rather steady career of decent albeit lackluster music. Chris goes through phases where the guy either has his shit together or he doesn't. When he got together these great minds to play on Crypt of the Devil, he had his shit together.
Is it the best album ever? No.
Is it the best SFU abulm? No.
But what it did do was give two up and coming guitarists a spring board to jump from.
@@Charles_Anthony Hey man. Didn't know about Brandon's contribution but he's such an outstanding player that his input definitely improved the other guy's work even more. And I agree with you with the CB phases.
Haunted, Warpath, Maximum Violence are farkin sick albums.
Bringer of Blood came out when I got into death metal and at the time I loved it but very soon after, I discovered Bands like Exhumed, Nile, Mortician, CC and so on. I bought "13" when it came out and it was soooooo bad, that I have not listen to the Band for years. Now I once in a while listen to some older stuff and even covered one song here on TH-cam. I think there was also a "beef" between barnes and Thy Art is Murder, because they also had a song named "Human Target". Barnes probably is not the kind of guy I would want to hang out a lot, also cause he seems to be some kind of Conspiracy Theory guy. Very nice video! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well if you watch an interview about his take on marijuana he believes some thing about like aliens coming to the earth and plating marijuana millions of years ago.

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.

45 years old here, I love SFU!
7:04 bro is just doing a Peter Griffin impression and thought we wouldn't notice
The first 3 albums are masterpieces but my favorite song is seed of filth, you just can’t listen to that song without banging your head.
Factssss
Is it weird I have gone my entire life without listening to ONE Six Feet Under record? They've always come off as the Super Joint Ritual of death metal, no one really cared they existed. Kind of like when Phil left Pantera, but people knew Chris (and in the same breath, Phil) were still working, but it would never be the same as when they were in their original bands.
Meanwhile Corpsegrinder's solo album is absolutely brutally heavy and amazing
Well he’s better, that’s why 🤣
I was 15 when 'Haunted' was released, at the time I thought "I see what they're trying to do, pretty cool, they've got my attention.." and it just.. never improved.
The "groove" sound in metal was very, very hip at the time so I guess it's no surprise they jumped on that train along with many others. But honestly if you're going to go that route you NEED to have a good sense of rhythm and overall timing, which no one in any line-up of that band I'm aware of really did aside from Allen West.
I agree if allen west had stayed their legacy in death metal would have been epic
Allen West definitely played a huge role in why Haunted was so Awesome!
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
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.

Chris Barnes and Frank Mullen,.my fave vockills❤ really deserves
Without any training I can nail modern SFU vocals
Finishing every sentence with a giggle …
"Maximum Violence" was the last listenable album from SFU. I remember hearing Graveyard Classics 1 for the first time as a kid, and even as a dumb brat that throught that Sepultura was the heaviest band on the planet i was clever enough to never ever heard anything from SFU again. Never seen a band jumping the shark so bad.
They almost had a comeback with Undead. That was short lived.
@@awol.oper8r thats the album with the guys from Cannabis Corpse? Or im confusing it with another band?

I might be one of the few that actually likes Six Feet Under specifically for their cringe factor lol the "EEEEEEEEEEEEE" Lyrics always bring a smile to my face and honestly, the "true death metal" controversy is funny and childish, especially coming from a fanbase that is supposed to be all about being offensive and being edge lords, suddenly gets offended when a dude says a thing on twatter.

Love sfu to death .....
Heavy death metal that
I love 🎸🎸🎸🎸💟💟💟
This gives me hope of getting signed to a label. If he can stay on a label, I should be able to get on one 🤣
I grew up with the old school Cannibal Corpse and though I liked them, the breakdown always lost me because they would have a killer riff and then lose it.
I found six feet under accidentally at the mall. I took a chance on it because I saw that Chris Barnes and Geezer Butler on the Same album.
Instant fan.. and my friends too
I'm glad you gave maximum violence the credit it deserves. SFU was my first death metal concert and feasting on the blood of the insane was the shits. I saw them with TBDM and Whitechapel.
I'll admit I love old Six Feet Under. Simple and groovey, catchy and fun to blast in the car on the road. It brings back fond memories just out of highschool. Old Cannibal Corpse was some of the best death metal at the time and is surely regarded as classic albums. Where Six Feet Under went downhill was covering AC / DC and others in Graveyard Classics and all the mediocre crap released since. As a person, I couldn't care less about what he does.
I was there for the Seth Putnam incident, yeah it sorta sent down like that with Chris retreating to his bus and refusing to come out. Barnes's era of CC changed everything and The Haunted was great, but it sorta ends there for me. I always end up jumping ship when I feel like it's finally set sail.
Six Feet Under started off strong, and by that I mean Haunted was pretty damn good, but IMO signs of Barnes vocal degeneration starting showing as far back as Cannibal Corpse's The Bleeding. George Fishers voice has remained constantly strong throughout his tenure with the band, while Chris has become barely a shell of his former self.
Now credit where credit is due, with his lyrics on the first 4 Cannibal Corpse albums he set a new standard for gory lyrics. Nowadays, its like he's a 14 year old kid who listened to old Cannibal and is trying to emulate......poorly. Also, I believe the first example of Barnes's patented "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE" can actually be found in his version of "Devoured By Vermin" before they hired Corpsegrinder.
I’d argue corpse grinders even gotten better with time. His vocals on torture were fucking insane for that late into the bands career
