Cannibal Corpse - 15 Year Killing Spree (Boxset)
| Message Board > Album Reviews > Cannibal Corpse - 15 Year Killing Spree (Boxset) |
| Nik Olaz User Info... | Well well well, the best selling death metal band of all time has released a magical suprise for all their fans to get ahold of. This boxset includes 3 cds, 1 dvd, a guitar pick, a poster, a comic book and a 28 page booklet with all sorts of interesting stuff about the band. The first 2 cds are a "Best of..." collection. It may be stuff you've already have if you are a Cannibal fan but it's cool to have the best songs lying around for kicks at parties. The 3rd CD is really cool, including their 89 demo, the "Created to Kill" Sessions (it's songs from Vile with Chris Barnes on vocals), Gallery Of Suicide demos and 3 cover songs. The DVD is the real jem itself of the set, it includes their first concert ever from 1989 (Chris Barnes uses a Slayer/Kreator style of vocal attack!), their infamous 1993 gig in Moscow, some studio stuff from Butchered at Birth and a set from the Metal Blade 20th anniversary show from 2002. Real fun to watch. The comic in the set is excellently drawn by Vincent Locke in black and white, and follows the idea of the song "Unleashing The Bloodthirsty". So all in all it's worth the money, only if you're a big Cannibal Corpse fan as I am. It's a real nifty set!! - Fri, 2 Jan 2004 4:48pm | ||
| SentencedtoBurn User Info... | What does this cost? - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 10:19am | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | The comic book in the set speaks volumes... - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 10:59am | ||
| SentencedtoBurn User Info... | Why yes, yes it certainly does. Why is this? Because Cannibal Corpse is merely the embodiment of comic book-like humour. Simply put, they are a horror/gore movie put to music/lyrics. But seriously I have to ask you this: Why do you feel the need to pipe up in every metal thread with a childish and immature response? I know you're obviously trying to get a rise out of peole, but isn't it getting old? Perhaps the metalheads on this board should start voicing their opinions when you go on your page-long rants about the virtues of jazz. I for one, however will not. Why? Because I leave the immature and ignorant slagging to the 14 year olds here...er I mean the(insert your age here) year olds. - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 12:02pm | ||
| Danny Silverfish User Info... | If youre speaking of zipgun all I can say is right on the money I have seen the moronic posts this guy leaves in metal threads, seriously , I agree I don't go into youre threads and critic what you listen to either. In parting.......you can keep tuggin but It won't get any longer you fucking old loser - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 1:45pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | dude it cost me like 72 bucks from Amazon.ca but i got the money from my pa for xmas. i'd say its fucking worth it. zipgunn is entitled to his opinion, i mean he may be an annoyance, but just ignore the dude. once you feed his ego with "fuck you man get out of here, whats wrong with you?" he probably wont stop. watch this post skyrocket. - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 3:34pm | ||
| SOS Jesse User Info... | Fuck, I'd love to get a hold of this box set if I wasn't fuckin broke. I've never seen footage of them live so the DVD sounds like the most enticing part. Do you know if you can get the DVD by itself? Just to toss it out there, my favorite album is by far 'Gallery of Suicide'. It's so different from their other stuff, really experimental and it has a definite feeling of horror and unease. I know all their stuff in horrifying but this album managed to create a bizzare atmosphere that is totally creepy as opposed to straight-ahead death metal like their earlier releases. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 2:11pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Eight words and look at the shitrain of abuse I get! Sorry kids but this band is total shit engineered to entertain human garbage and nothing more. I mean, you guys are seriously fucked in the head, although it will no doubt console you to know there are several hundred thousand (mostly American) lonely, unlaid teenaged males just like you who will agree that this band is the shit. If the covers of "Butchered at Birth" and "Tomb of the Mutilated" don't convince you of this band's total spiritual worthlessness then almost any of their song titles should. And, believe me, if they would have only done a song called, say, "Hot Lead Prostate Exam" or "Urethra Needle" or something of that ilk I might be willing to cut them some slack. But make no mistake, with songs titled "Entrails Ripped from A Virgin's Cunt" or "Fucked With A Knife" or Stripped, Raped and Strangled" or Addicted To Vaginal Skin" or (especially) "She Was Asking For It" these fucks show their true misogynist colours; they hate everybody but they especially hate women. Or maybe they don't, they just want to get a rise out of people like me, I don't know. I do know that without the cover art and "shocking" lyrical content they would be just another boring death metal band (in fact the only way these guys would really be funny would be if the singer was actually singing about, say, Jesus. Now THAT would be funny). But when you get suckers like Sentenced to Burn attempting to intellectuallize their repulsive swill by calling them "merely the embodiment of comic book-like humour" I can only hope that if and when he finally gets laid and has kids that he has at least one daughter who gets "Fucked With A Knife", "Stripped, Raped and Strangled" and has her "Entrails Ripped From A Virgin Cunt" because "She Was Asking For It". Laugh it up funny boy. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 6:18pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | yeah im really fucked in the head. all those rock n roll lyrics got me into a bloodrage i can't control! gee i better turn on the choir music for some spiritual awakening! maybe then i can finally be as cool as someone with the name zipgunn!' do us two favours, 1) get off your highhorse and 2) stop posting in metal threads, if not this board. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 7:08pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Cool has nothing to do with it kiddo. If you're going to defend a band that's as morally reprehensable as CC then you're a bag of shit yourself. There is absolutely no redeeming quality in anything they have to say and either they believe everything they write (in which case I for one would love to give them a taste of their own medicine) or (more probably) engineered their approach in order to sell lots and lots of records to suckers like you. There's nothing satirical, intelligent or (especially) humourous in anything they have to say; pure negativity all the way. I wonder what their moms think about their "work". Betcha they're too chicken shit to show it to them. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 7:45pm | ||
| SOS Jesse User Info... | Wow, what a rant. Dude you really have to discover a better way to spend your free time other than preaching morals to a group of metalheads. It's kind of an uphill battle if ya know what I mean. If you happen to be offended by something just don't listen to it. You're an older guy, you should at least have the basic wisdom to understand that. Why would you put so much effort into discussing a band that you don't even listen to? I'm grateful for your interjection though, it keeps this thread entertaining. Oh and by the way, Cannibal Corpse is actually rather tame compared to some acts... how about Abuse who have an album called 'Like A Virgin'. With great song titles like, 'Pieces of Girl', these lads are bound to entertain the whole family! The cover art is a gagged woman with her arms and legs bound. In the insert sleeve are images of various gagged and bound women with guns to their heads. How's that for morally depraved? - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 8:05pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | That's kind of my point; it's getting to be rather old hat if not downright predictable. And I would never attempt to teach morals to metalheads; that would be almost as futile as trying to teach 'em how to spell. The point I'm trying to make is that CC aren't/weren't really that good of a band; musically all the records I've heard (about half of them) all sound the same to me (and I like and follow a lot of metal. My pal Jamie Fulton at Lyle's keeps me abreast of all the new shit coming out). The only reason CC has gotten popular IMO is the "shock" value of their visuals and lyrics. But how shocking is it really? And some of you say it's supposed to be funny. Funny? Now a band like Agoraphobic Nosebleed, I think that they're funny, and good too (their 5" single makes awesome tape filler). And even Anal Cunt have a sense of humour, particularly in their song titles. But for me the line is crossed by pure hateful misogyny; I have absolutely no patience with any band that even hints at violence against women and if I'm going to get on the bus there had better be a really good musical reason. I've listened to CC since they first came out and I found them to be relatively undistinguished musically and childish, immature and moronic lyrically (hey, where have I heard those words before; oh yeah, that's what I'm supposed to be). OK, I'll admit, since I turn 45 next month maybe I'm a bit old for all this, but I'm also the only person I know who is my age that has any time for any metal at all; I've seen a whole lot of "shocking" bands come and go and to me the mere fact that a Cannibal Corpse box set even exists proves to me that trends will come and go but there will always be a lot of gullable kids out there with way too much disposable income. I'm guessing you guys are all in your early 20's; when I was that age I listened to a lot of stuff that I now cringe at when I hear it today and a lot of stuff that has stood the test of time and then some. My guess is that when you all hit 45 you won't have your Cannibal Corpse records anymore (if only because your wives will have secretly thrown them out!). Remember, THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION. Have fun. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 8:20pm | ||
| SOS Jesse User Info... | Glad to hear you get into metal. By the way, I don't even listen to death metal. I haven't heard Cannibal Corpse in a while acutally, I used to listen to tons of brutal music but now I'm mostly into melodic european metal and progressive rock stuff like Dream Theater. It is really not wise to judge everyone here without meeting us and having a serious discussion about music. I agree with the fact that a lot of Cannibal Corpse is redundant and doesn't have a lot of musical value. You should give 'Gallery of Suicide' a spin though, it's definitely unique. Also, my spelling is immaculate and so is my grammar so please don't make childish comments that have no real merit. Speak intelligently and you'll get respect. And one more thing to add is that Cannibal Corpse love what they do. Their music is their life and death metal does not sell at all. Most death metal musicians are broke or only making a half-decent living off of what they do so no one could realistically use it as a cash-grabbing scheme. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 8:44pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Well I think the first poster was pretty close; CC have sold quite a few records over the years, probably a couple hundred thousand at least, but I doubt that they're millionaires or anything. The other point I forgot to make earlier was that if their lyrics/titles/artwork denigrated a racial or religious group (say, Jews or Blacks) instead of women then I'd wager that a whole lot less people would think that they were cool even if it were "all in fun" or "humourous" (nothing funny about the Holocaust or Apartheid). A good comparison to CC (conceptually anyway) is Carcass but where Carcass are simply facinated by anatomy and body parts (which is a hoot considering they're apparently all vegetarians) CC go too far IMO in their misogyny. And therein lies my disgust with them. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 9:01pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | their combined sales are 1 million albums in total . soundscan confirmed it. anyways it all depends where you draw the line, but the lyrics are just there to push your buttons. this is not shit they made up just for kicks, they took most lyrical concepts from horror movies/real serial killers. so it's not like they were sitting around talking about how theyd like to kill people, they just thought it would match the music..."brutal" music = brutal themes. plus you should hate chris barnes, he wrote all the anti-female ones, and did you know that on "Vile" there is a song about a woman killing and castrating a man? - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 9:26pm | ||
| Lurker User Info... | So Zippgunn, any word on when the GG Allin box comes out? - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 9:34pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | I was unaware of the song on "Vile" (guess I forgot to read the lyric sheet); I guess I should be thankful for small mercies. As for GG, at least there was the vestige of humour in his stuff, plus he had the good sense to kill himself, thus creating a legend around himself. His music is, however, pretty bad too and despite many opportunities to pick up various LP's of his over the years I have always found other stuff to spend my sheckels on instead (like,say, the Mentors). CC is a good example of what I call a "concept" metal band in which the concept overwhelms the actual musical and lyrical content. The best example of this would be AC where the 2 second long songs have 10 word titles or that single I heard of where there are about 60 songs all piled on top of each other by different bands that sounds a lot like, you guessed it, pure noise. Sometimes it works despite itself (Naked City, who aren't really a "metal" band but who have been hugely influential to a lot of metal bands are the best example I can come up with right now, actually write interesting, powerful and very short songs with outrageous song titles and covers that push the boundaries of good taste) but a lot of the time we are left with just the concept and the execution of the concept is often beside the point. I find that there are a lot of metal bands, particularly on the more extreme fringes of metal, who fit this mold. And i have just as much use for them as I do jazz or classical or punk artists who are also purely conceptual without the content to back it up. Because while a great concept is fine and dandy in the final analysis you do have to actually LISTEN to it. - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 5:14am | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | I'd have to agree that gore lyrics become mundane and redundant. Unless you are Carcass or Impaled and you are making medical referrences that only a practicing doctor would understand, then gore lyrics just become repetitive. I listen to CC for the sheer brutality of the music, I could really careless what they are blabbing about. However, I do agree with Zippgun on his anti-woman vs. racist/antisemitic analogy. Either way, most intelligent metal heads out there (or at least I hope) aren't exactly cruising the record stores to find the sickest lyric sheets. It is, or at least it should be, all about the music. The first CC album I got my hands on did not even contain lyrics. Oh, and along with Gallery of Suicide, I say check out Bloodthirst. That album contains CC's best musicianship to date, in my opinion. In the end, I wish I had that goddamn boxset. - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 6:37am | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | LOTS of dudes really live for that shit though man. Not the kind of dudes who would be posting on these things or anything, they just come out of the woodwork for the shows and all that. I don't really listen to it either, but there's waaay more people into that extreme death style than I woulda thought. The music is pretty tight too. That bassist in CC plays with his fingers, for instance. And that drummer sounds like a drum machine. At least they can play..... - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 8:48am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | CC may be really nice guys too. Hell look at Meatlocker Seven. Just because their music focuses on beastiality doesnt mean that they actually.....ok bad example - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 9:26am | ||

| SentencedtoBurn User Info... | "Eight words and look at the shitrain of abuse I get!" Right. Because this was the first instance in which you decided to enlighten us stupid metal folk with a cheap, low brow, pot-shot repsonse in a metal thread. hahahah, but seriously I commend you for the fact that you've still completely dodged the point of my intial post..which was why do you bother continually posting beligerent, immature, elitist bullshit in metal threads? Oh and thanks for clearing up this whole shroud of mystery behind Cannibal Corpse lyrics...in a Cannibal Corpse thread of all places. "But when you get suckers like Sentenced to Burn attempting to intellectuallize their repulsive swill by calling them merely the embodiment of comic book-like humour..." This was not an attempt at intellectualizing anything on my part. The explanation presented was that which was given by the bass player and vocalist in CC. I agree completely that Chris Barnes' lyrics (and anybody who advocates violence against anyone/anything) are lame. I enjoy Cannibal Corpse for the sheer brutality of their music. Besides, who the fuck are you to pass judgement on me or comment on my persona based on what bands i enjoy? and then these 2 absolute gems: "I can only hope that if and when he finally gets laid and has kids that he has at least one daughter who gets "Fucked With A Knife", "Stripped, Raped and Strangled" and has her "Entrails Ripped From A Virgin Cunt" because "She Was Asking For It" and "And I would never attempt to teach morals to metalheads; that would be almost as futile as trying to teach 'em how to spell" Come on man seriously. Unfortunately it seems that in the middle of your my-shit-doesn't-stink rants you decide to personally insult me because I call you on something you're completely guilty of. Your attempts are in vein pal, and I suppose I could join in the childish parade of throwing insults back and forth at one another. But I won't. "And even Anal Cunt have a sense of humour, particularly in their song titles. But for me the line is crossed by pure hateful misogyny; I have absolutely no patience with any band that even hints at violence against women." So Anal Cunt song titles like "I Became a Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked for It", I Convinced You to Beat Your Wife on a Daily Basis", "I Sent Concentration Camp Footage to America's Funniest Home Videos", "I Sent a Thank You Card to the Guy Who Raped You" "Women: Nature's Punching Bag", "You're Pregnant, So I Kicked You in the Stomach" are "funny" while Corpse songs are deplorable. But after all it�s not the concept of the song, it�s the execution of the concept? Am I understanding this correctly? Fuck man seriously, you have your musical tastes and I have mine and that's completely fine; I'm not about to start arguing over who's tastes are more virtuous or correct.I feel very passionately about metal and so does a large number of people on this board. I just find totally annoying and counter-productive for you to come into our metal posts and continually degrade the music we love. Now I realize this internet thingy is full of people like you who love to spend their free time pestering other people's tastes, but like I said earlier..isn't it getting old? I mean you see a thread entitled "Cannibal Corpse 15 Year Killing Spree" and instead of just ignoring it, you decide to come on in, and you immediately aggravate everyone involved. I find that such actions are both childish and annoying. This is the last time I feel the need to speak on this matter, so go ahead and flame me all you want, I�m done with you. Let me part with saying this: When was the last time I decided to disrupt a conversation/thread in which you were speaking about music you love, regardless of whether I personally liked it or even respected it? - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 2:59pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Seth Putnam lives his lyrics beyond his Anal Cunt songs. He is widely known to be racist and a misogynist. He has attacked handicapped people at his shows. I guess the fact that he wants to beat up Chris Barnes makes it ok for Zippgunn to think Anal Cunt are acceptable while considering Cannibal Corpse to be disgusting. I haven't heard of any Cannibal Corpse members participating in hate crimes. Or raping girls onstage like your buddy GG Allin. I own a bunch of Cannibal Corpse albums. I consider myself to be of reasonable intelligence. I don't hate women. But I guess Zippgunn automatically lumps someone like me into the "stupid, illiterate metalhead" category just because he figures he is superior to everyone else in Victoria due to some sporadic minor achievements in the long ago past. So I see this as a personal attack on me by Zippgunn in a way, and that's fine. I won't drop down to his level and point out his obvious shortcomings. I'll leave that to the real assholes of this board. And Wreaker. You can call your ex-wife an animal, but remember that you had her after the rest of us did. How did most of Victoria taste on your honeymoon? - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 3:37pm | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | dats good eatin...... and come now Mr Hell, "reasonable intelligence"???? You insult the intelligence of the rest of us. As for this thread this has been one of the better threads on this board. I neither like nor hate CC so this has been a good read. Everyone has made great points and kept a good dose of humour. Fuck ya! - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 5:17pm | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | It is hard not to laugh a bit when you read the Anal Cunt song names though. They are so harsh that it's kind of funny. Kinda like dead baby jokes. - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 9:34pm | ||
| Elliot User Info... | This is why this board is fucking great. Fuck all of you who say 'na na na too much controversy I want to have a friendly music scene with pretty flowers'. Fuck that. Where else can you read shit like this? - Tue, 6 Jan 2004 2:33am | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Well this is Live victoria not Metal Victoria and it's a public forum. If you want to have your private little metal love fest perhaps you should create a new website complete with passwords etc. designed to keep cretins like me out and call it something like "metalclique.com" or something. And despite his fit of pique STB has made some very valid points. Why do i find AC "funny" (not THAT funny, by the way) but not CC? For me the combination of the "music" (seconds long blasts of noise) and some of the song titles ("Thinking Up Song Titles Sucks") counteracts the more revolting parts of this band noted above to the point where I just can't take them seriously and I don't think they take themselves seriously either (the Pete Shelly cover is hysterical!). CC on the other hand offer me no trace of humour at all and I get the feeling that with the cover art and lyric sheets that they take what they do seriously indeed. You could argue that this is what makes them a great band. As for "my pal" GG Allin (are you kidding?) I always thought he was just a pathetic loser but I know people that think he's hilarious (hello Dust); to me his main achievement was in writing half a dozen song titles that began with the words "I wanna..." (fuck you, piss on you, kill you etc.) but that doesn't make me want to own any of his records. My cracks about the comic were meant to show the target demographic of the CC box; a comic would be inappropriate to help sell, say, a Miles Davis box or even an Aerosmith box, yet a guitar pick was perfect for Cheap Trick, wasn't it? And the jab about spelling was in reference to the time honoured metal tradition of misspelling band names. You have to remember that to the 98% of the world to whom metal means less than nothing it appears silly and juvenile; often it's better to just laugh along with people while reminding yourself of what they're missing. Coiling up like a rattlesnake everytime anyone dares attack the sanctity of metal just makes you look churlish, humourless and silly. Metal is just another variation of rock and roll, it's not the be all and end all. - Tue, 6 Jan 2004 8:30am | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | And to Mr. Hell; I've never called metal heads "stupid or illiterate" and this isn't meant to be a personal attack on anybody. What I'm trying to get across here is simply that if you really (really REALLY) are into the lyrical and visual end of CC then I think you're a bit of a sick fuck. I realise that most of you guys enjoy them for their "black humour" and don't really take them seriously but my objections to them are rooted in the fact that there seems to me to be nothing satirical or humourous in anything they've done, not even slightly (as in the case of AC, for example) therefore the possibility exists (however slim) that there is a segment of the population that might see these guys as role models or something. In 2003 era America this worries me. Having said all this I should note that I own no records by any of these acts (although I came close to buying an AC record once) and even if you gave them to me I would listen to them hardly at all if ever. I would never suggest cencoring these bands either, that would be as counterproductive as, say, making pot illegal (what, it is??). - Tue, 6 Jan 2004 8:49am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | Hey did you know that a Jimmi Hendrix boxset featured a comic book on him? - Tue, 6 Jan 2004 11:34am | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Really? Which one? That strikes me as odd because the target demographic for a Hendrix box would probably constitute a lot of baby boomers about my age many of whom would not consider a comic book to be much of a selling point. I would think things like fancy digital remastering, rare photos and bonus tracks would be more like it. - Tue, 6 Jan 2004 11:46am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | Yeah i remember my dad gettting it. It was really nicely drawn detailing Jimmi's life and everything. My dad read it and liked it too. - Tue, 6 Jan 2004 1:32pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | I have the Jimi comic somewhere in my boxed-up library. It was a full-sized hardbound comic with a demo CD made on a 4-track by Jimi at home and solo. Its not the same deal though because in this case the CD was included to entice you to buy the comic, not the other way around. It was at least half-decent anyway, but remember this thing came out in the mid to late nineties; it was not a part of his normal promo efforts during his career. Jimi didn't (and doesn't) need comics to sell CDs. I preferred the CD to the comic, partly because no one even attempted to edit out the tape machine recording its own start/stops and sudden song endings. I think KISS had the music/comic technique cornered for a time. I've got nothing to add to the original thread except that for me, tasteless lyrics leads to tasteless music: always. (I have to admit, I love tasteless instrumentals however) - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 6:21am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | I own all but two of Anal Cunt's albums as well. If you want to have an opinion but remain without enemies, I suggest you don't generalize people who like a particular genre in the first place. Looking back at your previous posts, Zippgunn you did say "...I would never attempt to teach morals to metalheads; that would be almost as futile as trying to teach 'em how to spell." You are suggesting that metalheads are not smart enough to spell correctly and have no morals. Typos happen, but I spell as well as you. And I haven't heard of Cannibal Corpse fans going out to rape and murder women. It is simply a gimmick. I would think you are able see through this. I am certain that most illiterate serial killers have not been metalheads for the most part. Research it and prove me wrong. You don't have to like CC. Most of the world doesn't. But there is no need to attack those who enjoy their music. I am sure I could lay down a message board beating on you for the music you enjoy, but that would be immature and pointless. I am not taking your insults towards metalheads personally or seriously. Taking anything on a message board personally or seriously would be the pinnacle of stupidity. Wreaker on the other hand just likes penises inserted into his hind quarters. How do I know this? After being accosted after rehearsals back in 1995 several times and having to get him away from me by swinging a Louisville Slugger at his head, you just tend to realize such things. - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 10:44am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | I've changed my mind. Cannibal Corpse are terrible and probably do hate, rape and murder women, as well as cause such things to happen. Also, from this point forward, I will be dumbing it down. Thank you. - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 1:07pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | I wasn't suggesting anything, for the last time I WAS MAKING A JOKE based on the TIME HONOURED TRADITION OF METAL BANDS MISSPELLING THEIR NAMES. Jeez Louise lighten up you guys. And I never suggested that serial killers were/are metal heads. I never called anybody ignorant. However the more hyper-sensitive of you keep putting words in my mouth. Give it a rest. If metal heads are stupid idiots then i guess I'm one too because I ALSO LIKE METAL in addition to almost every other style of music there is. You boys are sooooo sensitive. - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 2:13pm | ||
| SOS Jesse User Info... | Holy shit this thread has grown like the pubic hair on a thirteen-year-old girl's genitals! Just a few points to make: Cannibal Corpse do not take their lyrics seriously, it's a big joke to them, they sit around thinking up sick shit and then laughing about it. How do I know? I listened to an interview with their vocalist, George Fisher, and he said so. They do take their music seriously though. I also have to give a nod to their album 'Bloodthirst', it kicks ass. They're all good musicians, their drummer is very average and has remained so throughout their career. - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 2:14pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Punk bands always spell their names correctly though. Speaking of sensitive, I have seen you react to criticism and harrassment on this board. So if we're hyper-sensitive, then you are menstrual AND pregnant. Cannibal Corpse rules your mom. - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 3:35pm | ||

| Zippgunn User Info... | Me! Sensitive?? I have no feelings! Nothing you can say on this board will cause me to lose any sleep, that's for sure. You see I do what I do the way I wish to do it without regard for what anybody else says; that's why I've had the success that I've had. And, despite what the naysayers might tell you, I do OK thank you very much. I cover a lot of ground thanks to the fact that I like and appreciate just about any style of music, whether it's the 2 classical CD's that i recorded that just came out or the Allfather sessions I recorded awhile back that are (finally) seeing the light of day. Far from being a "washed up has been" that so many of you oh-so-cool do-nothings keep calling me I'm so busy that I literally never get a day off. I just talked to my European tour manager about helping some local friends (that all you guys would think are "lame" or "fags") get going in Europe; next phone call is going to be about getting my own sorry ass over there this summer to play with Tommy Holliston (I hope). The People's War (double) CD is ready to come out (we need a cover) and the next dp smith record is ready to record. Maybe in March I can get around to doing some solo stuff that's been on the back burner for 6 months. And now that the Rat's Nest is (apparently and very unfortunately) out of commision my phone is ringing off the fucking hook. Not bad for a lameass, eh? - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 5:00pm | ||

| el fuckface-o User Info... | when someone spouts off about all the magnificent things they are supposedly doing in their life, it is a sure sign that they are feeling inadequate about their life. your artsy posing projects (with the exception of grandfather, allfather, whatever) don't exactly make anyone think more highly of you. they make everyone think you are just not talented enough to do anything important or worthwhile. and if you think anyone is losing sleep over your opinions on here then your head is further up your ass than your clients heads are. these people making your phone ring off the hook must either be arson inspectors investigating the rat's nest fire or the wrong number because i haven't heard anything come out of your studio that doesn't make dogs howl in the night. for a guy who is so busy all the time you sure sound like you're $100,000 in debt. i suppose bob rock is the sucker in this situation. and for the record, cannibal corpse is boring trash and they haven't released anything of value since, well, ever. any of you braindead morons who like that drivel are in the same sinking ship as old shittgunn over there. however, i do enjoy their subject matter! lyrics to rape and beat women to. tardcut. nice uniform, drooler. looking forward to coming back to sunny victoria! i have been itchin' to ride my new Harley around town. see you all in four days! gotta go count my money here in the big rotten apple. - Thu, 8 Jan 2004 8:05am | ||

| SOS Jesse User Info... | Wow, Zippgunn is so busy... who gives a fuck? We didn't ask for your bore-me-to-tears life story and none of us give a shit what you do for a living or how 'successful' you are. - Thu, 8 Jan 2004 2:03pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Just setting the "washed up has been" record straight. My day beats your week anytime. And it's great to have old fuckface back; I kind of missed him. Keep it coming kids. - Thu, 8 Jan 2004 3:54pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | It's not that people think you're washed up. It's just that usually you come across as a know-it-all who thinks he's superior to everyone else because he's been around longer and toured with some signed bands. While that's excellent and is stuff you should be proud of, it is no excuse to be a better-than-you kind of guy. Just pointing it out, although as you have made quite clear, you don't give a shit what people think about you. I can relate! Good luck with your European endeavors. - Fri, 9 Jan 2004 2:55pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Well I never claimed to be "superior" to anyone else and, believe it or not, the only reason I interact with all you metal heads is because I'm eager to learn more about metal. I have a very low tolerance for metal that doesn't really turn my crank but when I find a band that I can really sink my teeth into it gets me off like few other things. My problem is that I simply don't have the patience to wade through the zillions of mediocre (in my opinion anyways)metal bands so this board is useful to gauge what everybody else seems to think is good. When I attempt to discuss metal on this board in any capacity other than starry eyed fan I get taken to task for it. I mean our pal SOS Jesse was dissing me for having the audacity to write album reviews in the album review section of this message board!! What is for sure is that I have a lot of information at my disposal that can be super useful to a lot of you, especially those of you who are in bands and are trying to make a go of it in the shark pit that is the modern day music business. I have my opinions and you have yours and the discussion on this thread about CC and like minded bands has been, for the most part, pretty interesting, I think. What's wrong with that? - Fri, 9 Jan 2004 7:37pm | ||
| Perpetual_Burn User Info... | I can't believe I actually read all these posts in one sitting....whoa. - Fri, 9 Jan 2004 8:31pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | Same, so much reading! As a femal into metal, I personally hate CC, never been into them, the music isn't my style. As for the lyrics, they're hilarious! Doesn't bother me one bit, there are a lot of other things in the world that frighten me more than what some band sings about. - Sat, 10 Jan 2004 9:31am | ||

| Masturbating The War God User Info... | It was something I ate, I had to rip it from a vigin's 'whowho'. Then I got all bloody and confused. :( - Sat, 10 Jan 2004 11:33am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | No, you haven't claimed to be superior. You just come off that way. This is why you get a lot of people on your case about your opinions. A good way to stir up a storm of discussion and not an atrocious thing to do by any means. As for me, I just like to call it as I see it. If you don't care what people think though, why bother explaining yourself? It negates the attitude. In your position, I would simply respond by saying, "Fuck off." or something in that vein. Much quicker and more consistent with not caring what others think. And yes. There is a ton of bad metal out there. Same as any other genre. I can't stand 90% of the new bands out these days. Most of them can't write a song to save their lives. Sure they play technically and impressively, but anyone can do that with enough practice. On the other hand it's all a matter of opinion, so why take other people's word for it? Do your own research as well. Oh, and it goes, "Unnhh, I just took that knife and cut her from her neck down to her anus, and cut out her vagina and ate it." Pure comedy gold. - Sat, 10 Jan 2004 2:25pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Yeah but there's no punch line. Not like, say, the Mentors' "Goin' Through Your Purse". Now there's culture! - Sun, 11 Jan 2004 9:17pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | Good 'ol pee wee.... - Mon, 12 Jan 2004 12:25am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Ive never been a huge fan of Cannibal Corpse in general, but love select songs from their various albums. Definately more partial to the Chris Barnes era altho Corpsegrinder seems more pro in his approach to the music. Saw them live years ago, and they crushed the Starfish Room. As for sales, I believe CC hit the million albums sold mark in total, Id imagine their bills are paid and thats about it. They are now down to no original members, which might explain a few things about the band.. Jim Carrey loves em! Thats all that counts right? Black Dahlia Murder are going to SLAY at this show. - Thu, 17 Jun 2004 12:24pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | all the talk of BDM playing this show just infuriates me more and more...DAMN YOU SUGAR!!!! - Thu, 17 Jun 2004 6:59pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Well, interesting thread. There's only 2 decent Cannibal Corpse CDs (OK, maybe three): The Bleeding, Vile and the new album, which sounds more punk then metal. I really wanna see this gig, but can't afford to (hopefully I can still get into the Agent Orange show Monday). One other thing about CC, ya gotta have a twisted sense of humor to really get the jist of what the band writes about, at least IMO. - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 9:54pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... |  Alex Webster and Paul Mazurkiewicz are original members. Napalm Death is the band you might have been thinking about, my mandarin friend. - Tue, 22 Jun 2004 6:43pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Napalm Death, awesome act!!! - Wed, 23 Jun 2004 11:04pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | ok ok , true there are two original members, But I bet they just sit around and wait for the guitarists to come up with songs like a few other bassists and drummers I know. - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 8:36am | ||
| Rubber Box User Info... | Dont you mean EVERY bassist and drummer you know. - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 10:10am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | you guys think if i brought some alcohol for the Corpse theyd let me in? - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 7:33pm | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | I fail to see anything remotely punk on The Wretched Spawn. - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 8:54pm | ||
| Sandor User Info... | wow...this thread just keeps on going eh. - Fri, 25 Jun 2004 9:04am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | I dunno, I felt it sounded like a punk album, in any case it's a great CD. - Fri, 25 Jun 2004 9:33pm | ||
| D�d[]Sanger User Info... | Give me that boxed set, and a Vital Remains boxed set and I'll never harass santa again! - Sat, 26 Jun 2004 4:47pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | I've got the Cannibal Corpse boxset, I dunno if it's worth the price that there asking for it though. To me, it was missing something. - Mon, 28 Jun 2004 7:11pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | My strength lies in making sense of the nonsense some guitarists I know bring into rehearsals by offering arrangement suggestions. Of course sometimes there is no room left to do so because guitarists do get touchy about their completely written songs. But hey, I'll write some music...it'll inevitably be rejected as not Swedish enough and will become Acorn Hell music anyway. And on a side note, Alex Webster writes the vast majority of CC's music. - Thu, 1 Jul 2004 4:40pm | ||
