I recommend anyone too watch centuries of torment the full history of cannibal corpse from the beginning of the barnes era right up till corspegrinder joined,fully goes in detail of recording and touring of each album,watched it a few times great doc on cannibal corpse.
I saw them about that many times, all by summer 1991! Saw their first show when I was a Sr in high school, March 1989 -- first time I ever saw a mosh pit and I was too damn scared to wade into it! Also met Alex at college a few months later and we'd hang out with the other metalheads on campus.
Paul is such a great guy, I remember his father used to come to see him in Montreal or Toronto because he lives in Buffalo. His father passed away last year or so... :(
He passed away right after they played town ballroom in Buffalo, Paul hung out with me for a few minutes before having to go to the hospital to be with his father as he passed , very good dude.
The guys from CC are some of the nicest guys, whenever they have the chance to come out and chat after shows they do and they seem genuinely interested in talking with their fans. Mad respect!
@@travisperakovic2877 SPAWN OF THE WRETCHED IS a fav of mine! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I been to 26 Cannibal shows in my 44 years of life but Pantera I've seen 34 times from SF to Florida and Slayer 19 shows Six Feet Under 17 shows damn i love me some metal! I've been blessed to see many great shows even was blessed to meet and greet Pantera at the cow palace in san Francisco during the Great southern trendkill tour. One of the best memories getting to meet Phil, Diamond D, Vinnie but Rex didn't hang out as long as they did? I can't wait for Exodus to come to the bay area 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The first 4 are their most unique they all have their own sound. I feel vile and everything after had the same sound but kept being evolved and those are good too but the first four are the unique
One of my kids goes to school with his kid. I have had the awesome pleasure of hanging out with on a few occasions. He such a thoughtful & friendly person. Super down to earth & definitely doesn't think he's better than everyone else. Truly a good dude & I am lucky to know him.
I've always loved how humble Paul is. In his own respect, he's a metal legend, but he never lets it get to his head. Much respect to this man, and Cannibal Corpse.
Paul is such a humble and likeable dude. I’m not the biggest corpse fan but such a gentleman this guy. Met him at wacken - funnily enough he was having a few beers with Adam D from killswitch
I met Paul, Alex, and Corpsegrinder at a CC show once, they talked to us for nearly 2 hours outside the venue after the show till like 1am, and answered all of our questions. Talk about a band that genuinely appreciates their fans and goes out of their way to make them feel welcomed and appreciated. Such down to earth guys. I will always have tons of respect for and be a fan of this band.
Saw Cannibal Corpse a few years ago at a club in Philly and afterwards they hung out with the fans. Bunch of great guys. Chatted a bit with Alex and Paul both awesome guys but once George came and hung out with the fans talked with him about video games and comic books for 15 minutes great time
I'm not a huge death metal or Cannibal Corpse fan, but I respect the hell out of them; especially Paul. Incredibly humble, down to earth and engaging. Despite being in a really successful and influential band he still feels like a "blue collar", salt of the earth type guy. I think the time period where they came up and also their geographic location is a big part of it. Nothing but respect.
Hey Bradley, megahorns for having Leprosy, Mental Funeral, Eternal Nightmare and especially Haunting the Chapel displayed on your stereo rack! (I've got a 1st pressing of Mental Funeral in green vinyl hanging on my wall at home!) \m/ \m/
it's not my typical alley of metal, but yeah, they're super nice and respectful guys and awesome to listen to, so you can get fucked with a knife all the same if you diss them :P
I'd pay just to hear them play Put Them To Death! Whenever they played way back when, the rotation of the pit would speed up! Or if there wasn't a circle going, everyone would just go crazier!
Cannibal Corpse is still to this day one of if not the best live band I've ever seen. The place was packed to the gills and the performance was absolutely masterful. Their tone is what set them apart for me...just a massive sound with those Mesas.
i got to meet Paul about a year and a half ago right before the Pat incident. what a cool down to earth guy that when you meet ,you feel like you have known him forever
Man, I can't remember what I did last week, and he's able to flawlessly relive things that happened 30 years ago. That's a demonstration of pure passion, to be able to recount minute details so well. He's not just a musician, but a real fan of his peers. Not an arrogant bone in his body, and I respect that so much.
The best thing about Cannibal is that their newer albums are just as good as their older albums. There’s definitely been a change in style and sound over the years - as you’d expect in a band spanning 30+ years - but each album is just as enjoyable. From the classic Barnes era, to Kill, to Evisceration Plague, to Skeletal Domain. I love all those albums. You could say any of their albums are your favourite, and no one would argue with you, because they’d get that that particular album speaks to you, and is good enough to be someone’s favourite. And that can’t be said about many bands.
Great interview! Funny how he thought Metallica was too extreme at the time. I felt the same way about Cannibal Corpse for little while. But I was totally enthralled by Altars of Madness and blasting that tape in the car with my friends was a great memory from high school. But that too was 'too edgy' for me lyrically, especially since my mom was on my case after finding my Obituary and Malevolent Creation tapes. I blacked out all the lyrics of the AOM cassette with a Sharpie out of fear of her finding it. Heh! Time gives you a different perspective on these things. But at the end of the day you can't beat a good string of chugs and cymbal mutes, it appeals to the caveman metalhead inside.
Paul is a living legend. He is an example to all young or older musicians that are afraid to touch the drums. You don't need to be Lombardo to play metal. You just need passion and love for the music.
Bobby Brown Paul has a unique style. He may not be some Uber technician but his grooves are killer and really gave cannibal an interesting layer in their style. Cannibal is a meat and potato’s band and Paul is a meat and potato’s drummer. I love his style personally but your right he is mediocre in terms of technique. Ultimately I don’t listen to music for technique, I listen for quality jams and Paul and the boys have provided that consistently.
@@evertking1 obviously he's a simple drummer in the grand scheme of DM but he's got a pretty unique style and killer passion. it's not a pissing contest lol
Paul and Alex are the two basic rolling wheels of the band. They are so nice persons to know and have a chat with. Paul is always so polite and chill. He's low profile and dedicated to his work. A model for all the musicians.
Been a fan since the early 90s. Opened a few local shows for them in the late 90s/early 2000s, and was fortunate enough for my band to be offered a supporting slot on the 1349/Skeletonwitch tour. 100% pro EVERY night. Very down to Earth people who love their fans immensely, and are very hospitable to their support acts. Sitting in the back lounge of the bus with Paul while he told stories of the old days of Cannibal will always be with me. Their professionalism, unwavering love for their fans, and sticking to their guns is a great blueprint for a successful band. Love these guys. Paul, Alex, and Rob especially. Legends for a reason. I'll tell my grandkids those tour stories one day.
So many memories he brought up about Buffalo! My original hometown. We moved to Akron New York, Jack Lived down the street from me! We hung out many of times, I was younger and just starting to play guitar! One great memory was having all of Beyond Death pull up in a van and I went to House of Guitars in Rochester! I’ll always remember Alex walking through school with his Metallica Ride the Lightning patch on his jacket, these were some of the coolest guys! They’re all so humble.
CC is my favorite band that i love to watch interviews, i mean, they seems very, very Nice, they love to talk about their beginnings, they're always happy or smiling
Just goes to show never judge a book by its cover its all about the music and integrity not just fire and evil I love metal for it's realism and comradity it's way of life
Everyone in Buffalo was awaiting the release of that album like the second coming of Christ. Bought it the day it came out at a now-defunct Buffalo record store, Home of the Hits. Got my cassette copy, paid for it and just as I was about to leave, Alex and Jack Owen sauntered into the place. I already knew them, esp Alex because we both hung out at Buffalo State College just up the street. At that point I should've gone back to the racks and bought a vinyl copy and had them sign it right there!
I've had the privilege and honor to meet paul on several occasions. Hes hands down one of the nicest individuals I've ever met. Can't wait to see them play again!
These guys were my fav band back in 1999. I saw them live at the PALLADIUN in Worcheseter, Mass. And i will tell you being 14 years old right at the front watching these guys that i looked up to was an amazing life changing experience. Ive grown outta death these days, but i still have the utmost respect for these guys and Deicide. Thanks for giving me an outlet at such an impressionable age while everyone else was getting into alcohol and drugs.
Are there much much heavier bands now and all the way back to the mid 90's - absolutely! of course - but were there any back then? -pre Reign in Blood? fuck no there weren't SLAYER showed the labels that the extreme deep end Metal acts COULD sell albums - they COULD sell out venues and COULD actually play their instruments. - they COULD maintain the intensity and hold themselves together to campaign on World Tours- Reign in Blood was the most important album in the history of Death Metal The music that immediately followed would have still been written and recorded and produced because nothing was going to stop that scene from exploding but it would have taken a lot longer - the suits still werent 100% SLAYER didnt just usher in Death Metal they kicked the fucking doors right off the hinges R.I.B. was the perfect album at the perfect time by the perfect band and the rest is history
One thing about cannibal that deserves to be mentioned is that youll never meet a more cool down to earth bunch of guys. They are and always will be so awesome to their fans and that goes a long way in my eyes. Ill always be a fan.
I've been fortunate to meet them and drink with them, and if you do see them live, take the time to stick around after the show and visit with them. George is usually very open to chatting with fans, and super friendly. Awesome band and well worth your time bumming around to hopefully catch some conversation. Very friendly.
The dudes from Cannibal are the nicest dudes in metal. They’re always so friendly and personable when meeting them. No attitudes or egos at all from the worlds biggest death metal band.
@@MonsterMarkG I met him back in 93 and he was a true dickhead lol Someone accidentally kicked him doing a stage dive and he cried like Axle Rose for several minutes and was threatening the audience lmao 🤣
I enjoy a few CC songs but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, but I thoroughly enjoy listening to their interviews/behind the scenes stuff and hearing them talk about their sound/evolution and how they wrote their records
Funny how he names Barnes and Rusay (names), says Jack Owen (first name and last name) and just uses Alex (first name) for Alex Webster. Paul is a smart communicator. Barnes and Rusay to kind of underline them being fired or leaving in tension, Jack Owen as a proper former member with no beef between musicians and Alex as a founding and still active one.
I have fond memories of life back during the Tomb Of The Mutilated era. I was broke and starving but my band DETEST was having fun (there was even some pretty women from time to time.) Cannibal Corpse has always been a reliable constant for me and I truly appreciate everything they've done.
I've been sort of a fringe fan for quite a few years and finally saw them a couple of months ago. They opened with Code of the Slashers and it was fucking awesome.
Very articulate guy with thoughtful and insightful answers to good and fresh questions. Another job well done Mr. Bradley. "The bleeding" was my introduction into Cannibal and one of the first death metal albums I ever heard starting my journey into extreme side of metal (I was into Metallica, GNR and Scorpions at the time).
The production on the prior 3 albums was bigger and more enjoyable than the bleeding IMO. The drum sound is kind of thin on it. Production aside..... there are some great fucking songs on the bleeding though.
Pauls such a fkn cool dude, its beautiful how much he remembers and hearing him talk about bands first albums and the evolution of Metal, amazing interview!
Yoooo red before black is a pretty fucking solid CC release. Went under the radar a bit. I love that album a lot. Cant wait to see these guys again soon.
I am an enormous fan of CC and accidentally a guitarist of *MORTEM* (called "the Russian Cannibal Corpse") and I never liked any album after "Wretched Spawn", BUT "Red Before Black" just blew me away! As Paul said, the songwriting there is crazy good! Absolutely fantastic record!
If anything? Next to Chuck Schuldiner, and John Tardy,Glen Benton,Brent Hoffman(r.i.p.), cannibal corpse blazed the trail for a thousand up & comers... They are the true godfathers of a genre. And they continue to put out good music to this day (not the same malevolent creation doesn't hold its own even though they were changing members every other Fucking week), or even know that David Vincent is what he is, morbid Angel is still morbid Angel is. (but maybe a shadow of their former selves). Paul, I played in bands with Justin Depinto who was in malevolent for a while. I have a history with that guy that goes back 30 years man. I know you guys are from New York,but personally I have an association with the Florida death metal scene since I was a young guy and I'm almost 50. Keep doing what you do Paul. We need you guys. It's kind of similar to the way.. let me give you a hypothetical deal..."Charlie Watts says the rolling Stones are done forever".... He would be absolutely right because it's his band. You run the show Paul you know it. Just keep your friendships solid with your bandmates it is a vital importance to keep you on the scene so cannibal never disappears until you guys die. I want you guys to be the rolling Stones of death metal. And I think that if there's anybody to fit that category it is you guys.. I can imagine you guys as 70 year old guys, still doing what you do. Until death do you part. Keep Cannibel alive forever..... Until you are physically unable to sit behind a kit......but even though through all the music and all the things you guys have done I know that every single one of you are"ordinary men". You just happened to have really cool jobs. Today was Ozzy's last album man we all know it's a last. I want to be able to do that 20 years from now for you guys.Ride that shit untill the wheels fall the fuck off.... Stick with it until your body's give out and your heart stops beating. Then I will have respect for y'all and my respect is already through the roof 💯.

Yep, I got it on dvd 🤟
Watched it a few times as well. It’s pretty cool seeing how this band came to be. 🤘🏼
Best music DVD EVER.
Hell yes dude. Their story is super interesting. It’s crazy to think they played Mallorca 😂
It's an excellent DVD.👍🏻
Nothing wiil keep you feeling younger than playing death metal in your 40s and 50s
Seen Cannibal Corpse live 9 times and they never disappoint.

7 times and the same ^^
Paul is such a class act, always great to hear him talk about Cannibal, and music more generally.
Peeled Apples he is a great and humble guy. And he’s a vegan too. A lotta people would never buy that.
@@Grimeyhoob VEGAN?!
Jacob Davis yep - Paul is vegan man. So are a lotta members of Cattle decapitation. Lamb of god. Arch enemy. Dillinger escape plan.
He’s a great guy, I’m still trying to get him to be a Bruins fan instead of the Sabres
That he is. Met him in 2016 after one of their shows. Super nice dude.
I've never clicked a link so fast in my life. I could listen to Paul talk about Cannibal Corpse all day.
Love when people have original comments
Paul is such a great guy, I remember his father used to come to see him in Montreal or Toronto because he lives in Buffalo. His father passed away last year or so... :(
Paul's dad is a legend! One of the coolest Dads of a metal musician in history

The Bleeding is a masterpiece
For sure
KILL is my personal favorite. Fuckin murder worship.

Still my fav CC album.
The Bleeding to Cannibal Corpse is what Symbolic is to Death
after 30years they still kickin ass!!
"Tomb..." and "The Bleeding" are essential.
Butchered at birth though ...
The first 4 are their most unique they all have their own sound. I feel vile and everything after had the same sound but kept being evolved and those are good too but the first four are the unique

And I have been listening to them for all 30 of them.
This guy is a self taught drummer that pretty much invented a style of drumming. Fucking awesome.

I really hope they tour and do a EATEN BACK TO LIFE set. Best live band ever. Incredibly nice and humble guys. Anyone who disses CC can lick balls
My favourite cannibal corpse album.
Well theyre not that good
it's not my typical alley of metal, but yeah, they're super nice and respectful guys and awesome to listen to, so you can get fucked with a knife all the same if you diss them :P
Sounds like you are a loyal fan ...
I'd pay just to hear them play Put Them To Death! Whenever they played way back when, the rotation of the pit would speed up! Or if there wasn't a circle going, everyone would just go crazier!
Cannibal Corpse is still to this day one of if not the best live band I've ever seen. The place was packed to the gills and the performance was absolutely masterful. Their tone is what set them apart for me...just a massive sound with those Mesas.
i got to meet Paul about a year and a half ago right before the Pat incident. what a cool down to earth guy that when you meet ,you feel like you have known him forever
I remember buying the Eaten Back to Life cassette when it was new. It's amazing to to think that it's been over 30 years ago.

Can someone start a donation page for chair legs. Everyone has been looking so uncomfortable! 🤣
discomfort is metal
God damn this guy can really talk. Amazing
I like what he said about Reign In Blood, the importance can't be overstated.
Are there much much heavier bands now and all the way back to the mid 90's - absolutely! of course - but were there any back then? -pre Reign in Blood? fuck no there weren't
SLAYER showed the labels that the extreme deep end Metal acts COULD sell albums - they COULD sell out venues and COULD actually play their instruments. - they COULD maintain the intensity and hold themselves together to campaign on World Tours- Reign in Blood was the most important album in the history of Death Metal
The music that immediately followed would have still been written and recorded and produced because nothing was going to stop that scene from exploding but it would have taken a lot longer - the suits still werent 100% SLAYER didnt just usher in Death Metal they kicked the fucking doors right off the hinges R.I.B. was the perfect album at the perfect time by the perfect band and the rest is history
The heaviest 28 minutes in music history
Yep, before RIB and after.
This guy has always been so interesting to hear talk about things. Great interview!
One thing about cannibal that deserves to be mentioned is that youll never meet a more cool down to earth bunch of guys. They are and always will be so awesome to their fans and that goes a long way in my eyes. Ill always be a fan.
What a humble guy. Would love to meet him some day. Seems like a lovely dude
I've been fortunate to meet them and drink with them, and if you do see them live, take the time to stick around after the show and visit with them. George is usually very open to chatting with fans, and super friendly. Awesome band and well worth your time bumming around to hopefully catch some conversation. Very friendly.

The more pressing question is.
Is Pat coming back?!?!
ok TRUE we need him back
Isn't he in jail?
CC instagram post back in 2018 said he was with family and friends and was looking forward to his return soooooo idk 🤷🏻♂️
I hope the best for Pat. He seems like a super cool Dude.
He should come back if not erik rutan is an awesome fill in.
Love all the CC guys, so down to earth and humble.
Cannibal corpse is a band that ages like fine wine
yes !!!!!!!!!
What an amazing humble man! Played some of the heaviest shit known to man and still enthusiastic about what's done/does! Respect!
So glad he mentioned Metal Militia. It's the song that got me into Metallica and very underrated I feel. Still one of my faves to this day.
I enjoy a few CC songs but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, but I thoroughly enjoy listening to their interviews/behind the scenes stuff and hearing them talk about their sound/evolution and how they wrote their records

Funny how he names Barnes and Rusay (names), says Jack Owen (first name and last name) and just uses Alex (first name) for Alex Webster. Paul is a smart communicator. Barnes and Rusay to kind of underline them being fired or leaving in tension, Jack Owen as a proper former member with no beef between musicians and Alex as a founding and still active one.
I have fond memories of life back during the Tomb Of The Mutilated era. I was broke and starving but my band DETEST was having fun (there was even some pretty women from time to time.) Cannibal Corpse has always been a reliable constant for me and I truly appreciate everything they've done.
Cannibal Corpse are already death metal icons without a doubt 😎
This is the most happy I’ve been to see an interview. It’s not often someone from Buffalo gets a lot of attention
Damn what a great interview 🤘
I love Paul, such a stand-up guy - They all are
Seen these guys over 15 times. Still one of my all time favorites.
I've been sort of a fringe fan for quite a few years and finally saw them a couple of months ago. They opened with Code of the Slashers and it was fucking awesome.
My fav band of all! Long live the Corpse! \mm/
Hey Brad, I’m so fucking happy YOURE doing this interview.
Very articulate guy with thoughtful and insightful answers to good and fresh questions. Another job well done Mr. Bradley. "The bleeding" was my introduction into Cannibal and one of the first death metal albums I ever heard starting my journey into extreme side of metal (I was into Metallica, GNR and Scorpions at the time).
Good interview, wish it was longer. Paul is a great guy, cool to hear him talk about metal and Cannibal Corpse
Great interview - I love the passion!
BUTCHERED AT BIRTH is still their best album.
Cool seeing him. I jammed just across the gravel driveway from Corpse on Himes Ave. in Tampa.
I've been listening to this band since middle school and I'm on 43 years old
Always nice to listen to Paul talk about the origins of death metal. The guy is a legend
My favorite death metal band. Keep it up,
The Bleeding is still my fave.
Jeremy Boehm same dude! Such a distinctive sound!
@@ozrant1352 Chris Barnes growls and their guitar tone was just killer. I don't hate Corpsegrinder but Barnes on the Bleeding is the man.
Drums sound weak in this album... The only bad part of the bleeding
Mine too i just hate that chris barnes left afterwards.
The production on the prior 3 albums was bigger and more enjoyable than the bleeding IMO. The drum sound is kind of thin on it.
Production aside..... there are some great fucking songs on the bleeding though.
I met the guys back in 2005 they are great guys and Paul is a great drummer
Pauls such a fkn cool dude, its beautiful how much he remembers and hearing him talk about bands first albums and the evolution of Metal, amazing interview!
Paul truly makes this an interesting and lively interview!
My favorite band!!!! Long live Cannibal Corpse!!!
Great band. Enjoy their albums a lot. Looking forward to a new album. Any word on Pat?
Needa to be longer 😭 Such a nice dude
Hails guys. Thanks for the interview. Really appreciated. Long Live Cannibal Corpse.
Yoooo red before black is a pretty fucking solid CC release. Went under the radar a bit. I love that album a lot. Cant wait to see these guys again soon.
It's a sick heavy album love it too
Paul just looks like the nicest guy ever, I love this man.
I’ll always have a place in my heart for Cannibal Corpse❗️🤘🏽🖤😇
I am an enormous fan of CC and accidentally a guitarist of *MORTEM* (called "the Russian Cannibal Corpse") and I never liked any album after "Wretched Spawn", BUT "Red Before Black" just blew me away! As Paul said, the songwriting there is crazy good! Absolutely fantastic record!
CC is the band with the most beautiful and friendly guys. You just have to love them.
New album is called “The Crypt”??? I love it!
Crypt of the devil? :D
Tucker Finch THE CRYPT STEERNNNCHHHH
@Ali Desch yeah...sfu last four albums are very good. They want to bring out a new this year with jack owen...
frank hartm Chris says he’s only as good as the musicians he works with. Explains a lot
If anything? Next to Chuck Schuldiner, and John Tardy,Glen Benton,Brent Hoffman(r.i.p.), cannibal corpse blazed the trail for a thousand up & comers... They are the true godfathers of a genre. And they continue to put out good music to this day (not the same malevolent creation doesn't hold its own even though they were changing members every other Fucking week), or even know that David Vincent is what he is, morbid Angel is still morbid Angel is. (but maybe a shadow of their former selves).
Paul, I played in bands with Justin Depinto who was in malevolent for a while. I have a history with that guy that goes back 30 years man. I know you guys are from New York,but personally I have an association with the Florida death metal scene since I was a young guy and I'm almost 50. Keep doing what you do Paul. We need you guys. It's kind of similar to the way.. let me give you a hypothetical deal..."Charlie Watts says the rolling Stones are done forever".... He would be absolutely right because it's his band. You run the show Paul you know it. Just keep your friendships solid with your bandmates it is a vital importance to keep you on the scene so cannibal never disappears until you guys die. I want you guys to be the rolling Stones of death metal. And I think that if there's anybody to fit that category it is you guys.. I can imagine you guys as 70 year old guys, still doing what you do. Until death do you part. Keep Cannibel alive forever..... Until you are physically unable to sit behind a kit......but even though through all the music and all the things you guys have done I know that every single one of you are"ordinary men". You just happened to have really cool jobs. Today was Ozzy's last album man we all know it's a last. I want to be able to do that 20 years from now for you guys.Ride that shit untill the wheels fall the fuck off.... Stick with it until your body's give out and your heart stops beating. Then I will have respect for y'all and my respect is already through the roof 💯.
