Chris Barnes: “Mi ha fatto male vedere ‘A Death Metal Round Table’, disprezzo quello che questo genere è diventato”
Su Twitter si è consumato un lungo botta e risposta tra Chris Barnes e Jamey Jasta, dopo che il leader dei Six Feet Under ha assistito alla diretta di “A Death Metal Round Table”. Il video è una lunga discussione, una sorta di tavola rotonda, sullo stato del Death Metal. Trasmissione che vedeva alcuni dei migliori cantanti del genere, incluso il suo sostituto nei Cannibal Corpse: George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. Dopo la visione, Barnes ha twittato il seguente messaggio, innescando la lunga discussione con Jamey Jasta, che lo ha invitato, invano, ad esprimere pubblicamente il suo punto di vista.
Ho appena guardato il podcast su Youtube sul Death Metal fatto una settimana fa con i cantanti Death “Top”… Mi ha fatto male fisicamente. Disprezzo quello che questo genere è diventato.
I just watched a “death metal” podcast on YouTube that was done about a week ago with the “top” death metal vocalists .. it made me physically ill. I despise what this genre has become.

Riguardo alle circostanza della sua uscita dai Cannibal Corpse, nel programma radiofonico “The Chainsaw Symphony”, anni addietro, Barnes disse:
I just didn’t like being around them, because I was being ridiculed, and I just didn’t feel comfortable being in the same room with people that weren’t very nice to me personally. And I was part of that too, so we had all of our own type of differences, personally, and I don’t think it was gonna be able to be worked out. You know, mutual respect goes a far way when it comes to being in close quarters with people.
I’m sure we’d do things differently [today] — I mean, I know we would. It’s just the way things worked out. And I don’t have any animosity towards those guys at all, and I don’t think they do towards me. It’s just that… It would be too confusing for things [if we were to tour together], I think, from their perspective.
I’d do anything. I just like to see a lot of people out there with smiles on their faces; that’s the only thing that’s important to me, man. Like, seriously, if I see a big crowd of people that everyone’s smiling, like, ‘Oh, yeah! This is what we’ve been waiting for,’ I’m ready then, man. If I see a small room of people that are just fired up to go, man, it just gets me going on stage, you know.
And that’s all I’m there for — that feeling, that sharing of energy, man. And I’ll go for it any which way to get that any way I can with any person I can get it with. And if it gets to that means to an end, that’s all that’s important, man — that transference. And some people just don’t see it that way, man, and it’s cool.
I’m not gonna be mean to anybody, and I never wanted to be. I’m my own person, and sometimes I’m put at fault for that, and I think we all are in our own way. And that’s just life; those are the things we deal with as people.
