IF CANNIBAL CORPSE TOUR WITH SIX FEET UNDER, WON’T THE UNIVERSE IMPLODE?

Alright. Last week one of you e-mailed me to tell me about this story (and my apologies that I don’t know your name – I’ve lost quite a lot of e-mails in this weekend’s server transfer), in which Obituary guitarist Trevor Peres revealed that his band has been trying to put together a package tour with great old school Floridian death metal bands including (beside Obituary, natch) Deicide, Morbid Angel, Six Feet Under… and Cannibal Corpse?
In case you’re retarded, just started listening to metal five minutes ago, or are only reading this site because you’re my mom and you want to show your support, Six Feet Under front man Chris Barnes was, once upon a time, the vocalist for Cannibal Corpse. (And, mom, if you are reading this: “front man” is synonymous with “vocalist.” And sorry I swear so much.)
Now: I can’t imagine this tour is actually going to happen, at least with that line-up. For one thing, I think Cannibal Corpse would have to be the headliners (although Obituary might not mind so much as long as they make the moolah). For another thing, I don’t think Barnes and his former bandmates in Corpse (or at least those who are still in the group) parted on good terms, and if they’ve since kissed and made up, I’m not aware of it.
Still: let’s pretend for a moment that this tour really did happen. Cannibal Corpse would HAVE to have Barnes on stage for at least a few songs, wouldn’t they? I mean, it would be criminal to have them in the same venue and not treat the audience to a rendition of “Hammer Smashed Face” the way it was meant to be heard, wouldn’t it?
It makes the hair on my testicles stand up just thinking about these kinds of “new line-up/old line-up” super tours. Of course that whole David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar thing a few years back turned out to be more or less a total bust (Remember how Van Halen isn’t named after either of those dudes?), and multiple proposed Anthrax tours featuring both Joey Belladonna and John Bush fell apart, either because Belladonna wanted too much money, or Bush didn’t wanna tour with a douche turd, or whatever silly drama occured.
So: does anyone think this will actually happen? Does anyone besides me actually want it to happen? Weigh in below.

It would be cool if SFU didn’t fuckin suck.
This tour would be alright, exept for a few issues: Deicide would cancel half way threw the tour, cannibal corpse, well, they suck, and six feet under, well..shit…OK- How bout a morbid angel-obituary tour eh? anyone……….?
personal opinion, but who the fuck could possibly like cannibal corpse so much? or sfu? I mean, sfu belongs in some bowling alley, playing for drinks.
hahahah. this is way back when I called myself poooo…
maybe SFU secretly knows most metalheads are idiots and will buy any piece of shit, so they make a piece of shit and can live off it. I mean, look at all the assholes that brought the new slayer or pretty much any metalcore[god forbid, killswitch, etc] and were bored with it in a week and realized they wasted 16 bucks…if only, right?
What a bunch of negative nancy’s. i think this would be a fantastic idea. If you have watched the centuries of torment dvd it seems as if the two have patched things up with both sides saying they are no longer mad. I see this as a definite possibility and am praying to the great lord below that this comes to fruition.
If you watched the last Cannibal Corpse dvd, they actully talked to Barnes on the documentary and even showed Barnes hanging out with some of the members of Cannibal Corpse so I don’t think they’re on bad terms. But that would be a awesome tour to see.
fuck me side sally this needs to happen,asap. I think Morbid Angel will be the headliner though.
Do people really like Six Feet Under?
I think it would kick ass. Although, put SFU on first. That way, when I show up late I won’t have missed anything important.
It would be cool to have Barnes growl some old CC. Maybe.
Oh, and make sure SFU doesn’t play anything from any albums after Haunted. ESPECIALLY AC/DC covers.
Btw, just because CC recorded at Morrisound doesn’t change the fact that they are from Buffalo.
in an interveiw with headbangers blog aound the time Six Feet Unders Death Rituals came out, Barnes said he would be glad to do a tour with his old bandmates
It would be pretty interesting to see…
It would be cool. Without Cannibal Corpse. *stones falling over me*
Actually I’m not interested in death metal, but Six Feet Under is one of the few bands in this genre that I find cool. I think Warpath is a great album.
I say get rid of SFU and Deicide and replace them with Atheist and Cynic. Deicide released two good albums (legion and the Staench of Redemption) and SFU hasn’t released a good album in a decade.
SFU has never released a good album
@MetalMatt Everyone always forgets these evil bastards got their start right here in Buffalo, NY. If this tour happens and I hope it does they should start right here where it all began. I’m not a huge death metal fan but I’ve followed CC and SFU for a long time and this psuedo-reunion would be cool as hell.
@Mancubus – The idea that Cynic or Atheist (brilliant and enjoyable) would ever tour with CC or SFU (silly, but semi-enjoyable) is pretty fucking absurd.
i would love to see a your like that. but lets be honest chris barnes’ vox are shot. im sorry to knock the guy but come on this guy cant keep up with the cannibal dudes.
Just to throw it out there, I saw CC in Dallas a few years ago, and coincidentally SFU was playing another club in the city. At one point in the night, the Six Feet Under guys were at the Corpse show hanging out, and it didn’t look like they were there to start a ruckus. Funny thing about that, I walked right by Terry Butler and confused myself for a second on what show I was actually at.
That pic looks like Ben Affleck with dreads and a beard.
@ RobotScythe
Dammit dude wth, were u engaged in a love gaze to notice that.coz now i can’t get it out of me head.
Awesome idea and long overdue!
Bill from top to bottom should be:
MORBID ANGEL
CANNIBAL CORPSE
OBITUARY
DEICIDE
SIX FEET UNDER
Or roate the fucker!
Fans will stay for the whole show.
i would go just to see barnes do some songs with CC,
and SFU’s music is too boreing, the graveyard classics cds were funny imo, but other then that, they pretty much suck
if they come toaustralia, which will neverhappen in a million years, ill be very very excited. but corpsegrinder fisher can stay at home with six feet under while barnesy sings for the cannibals.
oh to live in a dream universe…
Maaaaaan, Deicide, Morbid Angel and Cannibal (and SFU) on the same bill? I’d be there in a flash! And if Barnes came on to blast out a bit of Meathook Sodomy, well I don’t know about the universe, but I’d certainly implode!
Unfortunately though I can’t really see it happening: a friend of mine spoke with Corpsegrinder for about an hour before a gig a couple of months back and the whole him being cool with Barnes thing on Centuries of Torment was just him being diplomatic – he was very vocal on how shit he thinks Barnes is to my mate so I couldn’t imagine him being too happy about sharing the stage with him too much.
I soooooo want to be wrong on this one though!
