Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 I'm serious, there is nothing negative I can say about Chris Barnes and Six Feet Under after reading this piece of news. Right now, I'm listening to the mp3 that was graciously posted with the report. The song is "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" and I totally gotta say they NAILED IT DOWN. The drums are spot on, and the guitars sound CRUSHING when doing AC/DC riffs. That downtuning was a really great idea IMO because, although some chords sound totally muffled, it adds a whole new BRUTALITY to this classic tune. I'm sure that the rest of the record will SLAY me like this track. Now, I've heard some people talk about the SICK vocalist Chris Barnes and how they think he's the epitome of shitty cookie cutter vocalist. NO WAY NEWB! OMG HE SHOWS TOTAL RANGE that matches so well with the bluesy style of AC/DC, a band that SFU must totally be in love with to cover their entire Back In Black album!!!! I'M TOTALLY BUYING THIS RECORD OMG!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DR PHIL Report post Posted September 4, 2004 Good lord, that was awful. I'd never heard anything by six feet under and if I have to cut off my ears to do so, I never will again. I like the idea of a modern band covering an entire classic album, has that ever been done before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 They might as well set up a direct deposit account for AC/DC, cause they're not getting anything from this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 4, 2004 There's no fucking way any of you will ever get me to listen to this. I like the idea of a modern band covering an entire classic album, has that ever been done before? Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade did a pretty admirable job of covering Pink Floyd's Animals.

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted September 4, 2004 Well Metallica eventually did almost all of Diamondhead's Behold The Beginning album, but that went from pre-Kill Em All up to Garage Inc and they didn't play everything. Upon listen, GOODLORDJEHOSEFATCHRIST!!!!! I figured TNT was appropriate for the first Graveyard Classics, since it gave Bon Scott the graveyard classic shits........

Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 Lividity does blow, but they're cooler than Six Feet Under. That's a given, since SFU blows hardcore and cooler than Dream Theater. Whoa, let's not say things we can't take back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 Really, do you guys think Six Feet Under can get any worse? Well, considering Haunted and Warpath were pretty damn solid albums, and then Maximum Violence comes around which is only good for the MUSIC on three songs (one of which was a cover)...and yeah. Fuck 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 Haunted was excellent, IMO, WarPath was decent, and I like Maximum violence. Since then SFU has been meticore at best......and sorry I don't give a flying fuck how many people want to jump on the growing, "Chir Barnes cookie monster vocals suck, he is a pussy ~LOL" bandwagon. His work in Cannibal Corpse was great, and his live vocals are amazing.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, there are much better bands to listen to in the death metal subgenre. But there also are much worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 They will always have a small place in my heart for their brutal cover of a Savatage song whos name eludes me currently. That said, Chris Barnes has destroyed the band on multiple occasions that I've heard them by having his voice on top of the mix. Not to mention doing vocal lines of parts that are clearly set out musically for leads and breakdowns. The music becomes a true backing band for a crooner that just can't croon well enough to keep it interesting or good. Plus, how much friggin weed has that cat smoked to ruin his death metal voice? He can't hardly do it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 6, 2004 Eh, the Cannibal Corpse stuff is alright for what it is, but I maintain that the vocals improved after Barnes was replaced. I find Six Feet Under to be totally intolerable. Mid tempo cheesy stoner death metal is the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find Six Feet Under to be totally intolerable. Mid tempo cheesy stoner death metal is the worst. well the entire style of the band changed too though, which is why in part Chris Barnes was replaced. I mean seriously when you listen to Corpsegrinder try and do the older Cannibal Corpse songs, he just doesn't have the deep voice for it, he has improved a lot since he first joined the band, but it is not nearly the same.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2004 I can't really hear any difference between Barnes and Fischer... Of course, I think there are only a few good DM vocalists among the mass of cookie monster growlers (Schuldiner, Benton, Vincent and Akerfeldt come to mind) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2004 Karl Sanders No Mike DiSalvo No Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Who? Frank Mullen No Just my opinion though I'm not sure whether to include Anders Frieden on the list, since his range seems more in the BM realm than DM (but people call In Flames DM for some reason) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2004 Johan Hegg is another good one now that I think about it If you want to go over into doom metal, Arron Stainthorpe does a good DM voice, as did Nick Holmes when he used to do them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
