I actually work with the dude. Some of my other coworkers told me about him when I first got hired on. I was a huge fan of CC back in my formative years, so I thought they were pulling my leg. I did the research and it was legit. His brother, Russell works with us too.
He's a reserved dude, who appears to not take any shit. I knew the story about him and the band. A couple of other guys I work with had told me he doesn't really talk about it, and that he even may have quit playing music all together (the main reason why I had been reluctant to approach him regarding my fandom).
Cool thing eventually happened though.
After 10 months of working with him, he finally approached me about it. With a slight grin, he was, like, "So, a little birdy told me you're a fan." I was stoked. Tried fkn hard not to go douchy fanboy. I told him that I wanted to approach him ever since I found out, but wasn't sure how he felt about it. He thought it was cool when I told him back when I was in the Army ,we used to blast Butchered at Birth through our coms system of the Bradley while our crew engaged targets down range with the 25mm chain gun and coaxial machine gun. He smiled and said, "Nothin like a little Vomit the Soul while sending fools to Hades."
So you two were in the army together? Do you still work with him nowadays? Isn't he a golf instructor?
Dude that's sick!
@@robertpalermo7750He wasn't in the Army with Bob Rusay. OP was telling Bob about he listened to Cannibal Corpse in the Army. Learn some basic reading comprehension.
@Madhouse_Media That's why I asked him to clarify his statement regarding that. He also said "we" used to blast CC back in his army days, so I assumed that meant he and Bob did, had they both been in the army together.
Awesome! This was the coolest thing I have read in a while. Russay made some amazing Metal, he has a lot to be proud of.
My question is this;
When were any of you guys going to tell him, 1 that he's your friend, 2 you want him to stay, 3 take lessons get stronger & better.
Probably they hinted that to him several times, I mean, they recorded 3 albums together, but at some point it just wasn't working anymore, or maybe he didn't want to be just a rhythm guitarrist. Must be a really difficult thing to say that to a friend, a sad thing he retired from making music.
By the testimonies the guy could really play AND write, just maybe not at the level the other guys at CC were looking at that time.
if they continued to make albums like TotM, I'm for Bob Russay
Yeah, my words bro. Agree 100%
Bob is very happy now, teaching golf and having a family. They gave him a favor
I stopped listening to CC after The bleeding album. I mean I still listen to those four regulary.
Vile is one of their best, in my opinion. Such an underrated record.
I’ve long wished CC would add Mummified in Barbed Wire to their set list for a tour. They didn’t even play that one when I saw them on the tour for Vile, opening for Anthrax and The Misfits.
The Monolith of Death Tour ‘96. I was 15. CC played first, and opened with Perverse Suffering. Prime CC. Completely badass.
I do wish that Bob Rusay was in the
Movie Ace Ventura: pet detective.
Unfortunately bob rusay is not in the band anymore but Rob Barrett was there!
Such a Shame how they let him go tbh. I could understand his sadness and frustration tbh.would love for him to come back and do an interview but I don't think that will ever happen sadly .he's been part of 3 of the best extreme metal albums ever.
they, too, can be understood, they wanted a person for themselves that develops abilities. but it is very sad what happened to Rusay, they are also sorry.
@@cannibalcorpsefanbase I agree . I just feel sorry for Bob.
Rusay made an interview with Decibel Magazine in 2007/2008.
@@hellhannes can you send a link?
@@cannibalcorpsefanbase that's what I got a picture with Instagram.
Same type of thing happened to Jack later on after Pat joined. Jack couldn’t keep up with the material Pat was coming up with and Alex started writing more technical stuff as well. Jack was a good songwriter and could play tight but he’s not a technical player especially on the level of Pat…
I prefer the rusay era of corpse, they didn't need to be more technical, they just needed to be cannibal corpse.
Like or not, they were unfair with Bob, but business is business and that's how it works, the money comes first and not the friendship. I just think he was a killer guitar player who played with his soul and had a brutal performance live. The albums he recorded with CC have a raw and unique tone that was lost after his departure.These albums are death metal masterpieces and Bob is responsible for that too. Shout out to you, Bob!
He was one of the Founders of THE AWESOME Sound of CANNIBAL CORPSE...the New Guys of CC should never forget that...the first 4 Albums are the Best
I am a bassist and i had a metal band couple years ago (no where near cc). I experienced the same thing with a long time friend and a guitar player who we fired and it was pretty bad and hard. he had the co*ky guitar player syndrom even if he sucked pretty bad. It's never easy especially for a succeful band like cc.
Gotta love Paul M sayin, 'He wasn't progressing musically (skill wise) as the rest of the band'. I've seen 20 plus CC shows, Paul is the weekest link IMHO.
Agreed. He peaked on Tomb of the Mutilated. Been downhill ever since.
He got way better since Rutan joined...since he started using a click live
Paul was there from day 1, from the Tyrant Sin days with Bob and Rich Ziegler. they practiced at his parents home, and he was the one who reached out to Chris and later Jack and Alex to start CC. His early style of repetitive, imprecise but powerful blasts and respectable speed is ultimately one of CC’s defining characteristics, despite only really learning to tighten it up and work with Alex’s increasingly complex riffs to make catchy grooves. I don’t think his expulsion from the band was ever brought up, regardless of how the other members of the band felt. Sucks he didn’t feel the same way about Bob, though I really think Rob and later Pat were crucial for CC’s impressive level of consistency and longevity.
Even if Rusay was the weaker link, he still made invaluable, priceless contributions. Tossing him out created irreparable damage to the band. Just beacause a person is having trouble growing and adapting, doesn't mean that their work is obsolete. CC was never able to make music at the same level of quality ever again.
absolutely true!
Bob and Chris were the magic in CC
Yea especially with Paul still in the band. Who is the weakest link by far and hasn't really improved at all over the years. They should of kicked out Paul 30 years ago and got a better drummer. Litterally ANYBODY would be better skill wise.
100% agree bro, I feel the same emotion since it happened.
Couldn't agree more. His riffing style was so brutally bizarre and abstract. Those songs on the first 3 albums create a real feeling of gut-churning disgust that they never managed to top on later albums that were more refined sounding.
Hes a golf instructor in gilbert az
stop whining they had to let him go they didn’t talk shit about him they feel really bad in fact
clearly alex and paul are the ones in charge at CC
There's a reason why they are the only two permanent members in the band.
It's because they're the most mature and diplomatic guys from all the members. I met both of them and they were so friendly and well spoken. They are true professionals
They definitely lost the og sound when they let him go. The bleeding feels stale compared to the first 3. There was just think crazy sound that they lost.
You really think The Bleeding is stale by comparison? It seemed to me that the quality of songwriting went up, for sure, with TB.
I remember the first time I ever heard that album. It went into the cd player, and the intro riff to Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead got me hooked, instantly.
@@Fecalage oh i love the song writing on the bleeding, but it was more tame. The previous three had these just crazy sounding riffs and songs. The bleeding was more straight forward. Both are good. You can just tell Bob had a crazy style.
Bob wasn't evolving with us.... coming from a band that hasn't evolved all that much. 🎉
Kind of funny all these members of cannibal corpse were kicked out over the years for pretty much the same reason "not stepping up to the plate" Yet Paul of all people is still in the band. Paul has not improved AT ALL as a drummer and has actually gotten worse over the last 15 years. But Paul remains.....I always thought Paul was the weakest link of the band by far.
paul improved from the formative days of cannibal. the only reason hes slowing down nowadays is cause he's rapidly approaching 60 and has been playing such fast and ohysically demanding music since the 80's. give the guy a break
Agreed, maybe Paul has rock solid timing or an innate sense of rhythm or something but he's always been the least technical or impressive death metal drummer I'm familiar with...he's the Lars Ulrich of DM.
