Metal was dangerous back in the day and now it’s a class you can take in college 😂 deicide scared the shit out of us when we were kids . Glad you’re still kicking Glen🔥
I found Deicide side by sheer fluke. I was in a record store in the 90s and Once Upon the cross was in there but the album cover was censored and I thought you know if they can't even show the cover this band has to be great so I bought the album blind took it home and just loved it and i have been a fan ever since.
Oh man... talking about personality, Glen had it ! I remember in the late 90s, my friend's younger brother talking to me on the phone about Glen. He told me Glen was going to kill himself at 33, his growls gave him cancer etc etc. Seemed so real back then, especially for a Asian kid just getting into the more underground stuff. There was a mystique behind it. But then i older me also loves the fact that Glen can have this kind of sitdown and have an intelligent conversation. Well done, Glen 👏

The internet and social media put an end to a lot of magic that surrounded artist and musicians. There used to lore and rumors about your favorite artist and the mystery was part of the excitment back then. You can one stop shop all your favorite bands equipment, music and look over night now. You dont even have to go wait in line for tickets anymore. Hell you dont even have to leave your living room to scalp them. As great as it to hear this man speak about his past at the click of a button. It has ruined the mystery that surrounded his band and many others.

While I agree with the sentiment of this comment, some of the things that you mentioned As no longer needed, nor prevalent; I dare say, I say is a good thing.
I'm from Russia and I heard Deicide from my friend on a cassette tape somewhere in early 2001. His buddy gave him this cassette to listen to. I was interested in the album cover of Once Upon the Cross, and on the other side was Legion. For me it became a discovery in Death Metal genre and I later bought myself an electric guitar and I play till now (not on the first one: ))))). In general me and my friend became ardent fans of Death Metal and Brutal Death Metal. In general Deicide influenced dudes from Russia unknown to them))))) One time I even bought a ticket to a festival where they were supposed to perform, but they didn't show up. In general, my dream didn't come true, but I still went to see Cannibal Corpse, which is nice.
I love Deicide. I always have. I started listening to them on the first album around 1990. I first saw them live on "Legion". That remains my favorite album. I love every album though. I have seen Deicide about 6 times. To me they rule as the best death band.
Glen seems pretty relaxed here. Perhaps age is catching up a little bit. I met him a couple times back in the late 90's / early 2000's and he always seemed pissed off. lol
@@scaryperi3051 Shock factor is totally absent. When every band has a "shocking" name like Cattle Decapitation, Infant Annihilator, Granny Fucker etc. it tends to lose gravitas. What would be shocking is a band that ISNT trying to be shocking.
@@xStabizorz "Shock factor is totally absent." NSBM, RABM, Goregrind, Pornogrind, Funeral Doom, Drone Metal, Brutal Death, Slam Death, Neo Crust, and Metallic Powerviolence would like to have a few words with you.
One night in about 1997 I screamed at Glen to play some Skynyrd. He threw a beer on me and it was the best night ever. In an era where mean thoughts aren't allowed, I'd say the metal is missing from metal and leave it at that.
Yeah dude I as a black metal musician can say that everything is apologized for and compromised by cancel culture. All the political shit in metal. It’s supposed to be Anti Political not supporting left or right bullshit
Personality means fuck all when it comes to writing a good song. Some of the worst humans ever have written some of the best songs ever, Phil Anselmo is an asshole but Pantera fucking rules. It's a cop out, I'd rather have a thousand good songs than a thousand "nice dudes", I'm here for the music, not the ego and celebrity, it's not the 80s anymore.
The most recent personality I can think of is Tosin from AAL. The guy drives exotic sports cars, dresses like a metrosexual dystopian barista, and plays like a mother. Seeing AAL live is amazing
The guys in the 60s and 70s grew up in authoritarian so called "religious" households which stifled and muzzled them, so music became an opportunity for them to be free from the leash of society. Guys born/growing up in the 90s just never had to deal with that stuff so it's all just become safe & bland.
What’s missing is variety. Everyone now is the same, same sound, same look, same equipment. It’s boring. Too many rules and conformity when it comes to metal and really music genres in general.
And in entertainment too. When was the last time a movie/game really pushed things forward and was counter cultural. There are just no icons nowadays, less characters/personalities in the world, in general. Everyone is so media trained nowadays, even regular people lol
Creativity is missing . The cellphone and the internet stripped everyone of creativity and individualality . Today everybody looks the same, and sounds the same . These guys have are what they see on the Internet .
That's what got me into metal in the late 80s, was the mystique, and all those stories about Ozzy and Alice Cooper, the whole Satanic Panic thing with King Diamond on Geraldo, the older kids with their Iron Maiden and Dio shirts, and I'd think, "What does that sound like?" I don't think you can have that anymore because everything's equally accessible on the internet. But, the music's still here, so that's awesome!
This was what drove me to heavy metal initially. I remember seeing a teenager wearing an Iron Maiden “piece of mind” shirt, the shirt scared me and intrigued me.
Funny how much Maiden was a touchstone for so many of us. I remember being a little kid in the early 80's and seeing the album covers in record stores, and that mix of fear, awe, and sheer curiosity that made me want to know what it sounded like.

Maybe you should do it like this: Get together in a rehearsal room with a few musicians and have fun and practice, instead of sitting in front of your DAW , playing generic down-tuned riffs on drum plug-ins, quantizing, compressing and auto-tuning everything.
The modern day makes it harder to do this. I'm thoroughly convinced music was better pre 2000's because it was a collective effort by an organized group trying to get it right within the set times of practice, which motivated them to make the best music they could
@@bandolierboy1908 yes. overly produced music with a clear intent to be commercial is sterile. It' why a lot of music these days sounds like it should be background in a commercial or film.
Maybe you should do it like this: Go speak to some musicians and see that this is still how the vast majority work on their music. You assuming you know how most of the industry works is hilarious, and embarrassing, because you obviously have no idea.
the problem with metal today is the judgements people have and people allowing others or themselves to be judged. This hurts the music and the will of the musicians.
Metal is in a great place in 2024. Lots of new bands with plenty of veteran bands still around. And with RUclips I'm able to discover music I never would have heard otherwise.
Check out TNT Metal Meltdown livestream Friday evenings. Great requests, battles, & everyone in chat are cool & hella knowledgable coming from the old school. I find a new banger of a song or band every time.
A agree 100% with YOU My cd collection is Always growing every Month, and it’s been that Way since roughly 2002. It’s a great time to be a fan Of underground extreme music.
Dimebag Darrell is what is missing in metal. It’s still tragic he was taken from us way too early but we need that groove again that has become so complacent in metal.
Thrown is a great example of a band with personality. Everyone and their mom has done angry sounding hardcore. With Marcus as a vocalist and an incredibly talented producer you feel that anger is actually sincere beyond him just being good at that style of vocals. You truly feel the venom in his voice
Seen deicide a fews years back and the venue where we were at like a week later collapsed. My son and I at the same time looked at each other and said “That’s Metal”.
BALLS. individuality. Charisma. I couldnt name a single metal band that has come out in the last ten years. I cant tell them apart. None of them make me crunch up my face or bob my head even. It all sounds like the same guys plugging into the same computers doing the same thing.
I think there is a universal problem with people raised with the internet. They don’t do anything sincerely. It’s all about chasing trends and being noticed. A similar problem was manufactured by small hat music industry executives in the 80’s saturating the market with hair metal, but that quickly led to a backlash by actual artists through genres such as grunge. The difference now is that the trend chasing is grassroots, it’s the new musicians pigeonholing themselves out of desperation for clicks and likes and shares. Nobody wants to contribute their own voice, they just want to “be the next x.” This isn’t just a music problem, like I said.
02:50 -- Seriously, that is a powerful, useful daily kind of attitude to adopt. There was a time when my own constant negativity got on my own fucking nerves. When I cut that vitriol from my life, I actually began to live, rather than simply exist.
What really happened, is that between 1996-2012, i wrote lyrics for over 160 bands on the Manson forums and now all my lyrics are all but run out. Facts!
I disagree about being younger or older... It's all about the music. If some old guys put out their first album ever, and it is badass... I'm buying it. I could care less about age. I only care about good catchy deathmetal riffs and songs.
I don't think Glen was necessarily saying it's good or bad to be an older metal guy, just that in his mind at the time he felt he had to be young which is what motivated him
What's missing in metal today i don't know let's see maybe people willing to play metal it's so depressing having too jam to RUclips and all I want is a drummer that's willing to improvise with my sepultura style riffs too much to ask i guess😭😭
Back in the days people had dreams about becoming something big inspired by Iron Maiden, Mötley Crue, Metallica and Pantera etc. Kids nowadays have other dreams, they want to be streamers or influencers. Music is not really a dream job for most people. This aint gonna change, it will probably get worse.
@@BlazonStone lol good to know you're aware of an entire generations ambitions and dreams. Cuz social media exists. Must be why there are no new musicians or young bands.....oh wait.
@@veenoir1991 Of course there are, but not in the same way, the guy in the comment wants to play in a band and explains the struggle he has with it, which I think many can relate to
Depends how you define metal. Some people think pop bands like motley crue or kiss are metal. I dont even consider iron maiden very metal. They were originally, but got too formulaic.
I went from Nu Metal in the 90s to thrash, death metal and now black metal. I got bored of everything but black metal. I still go back to it for some reason.
Classic death metal has lost It’s edge and variety because it’s trapped in its own genres definition. 200 stab wounds sounds like every great death metal band, and they’re brand new, death metal needs some variety, that’s why subgenres are being explored more and more, they have the attitude, the talent, the song writing, the look, and they kick ass
Barnes says he's the greatest death metal singer but he ain't a pimple on Glenn's ass. Once upon the cross was my introduction to death metal and it scared me shitless for years but now top 3 death metal bands forever
@@stevenborrowman9282 I’m not a corpse grinder fan but I would agree on Suffo being top 3 I also like the proto slam gutturals introduced on Disgorge 92 demo cognitive lust of mutilation
Chris sounds like a monster detached from this world with no ability to grasp the concept of what Earthlings call "music" which, in my opinion only, makes him the best. Glenn sounds like a monster but it's a kinder monster who learned music.
I would say it's the same thing missing in life itself. Originality. Independence. They create a template that sells and then everyone has to rinse and repeat.
I mean, think of how exciting it was with Jerry Lee flying all over his piano, Little Richard with his costumes, voice and fkn soul! in like, 1955! Yup, dig the characters, man😎
In my opinion Metal in general is in a great place nowadays! There are a ton of bands keeping the old-school alive and well as long with new innovation
Well, people just want to please everyone today and not hurt other's "feelings" like watafak that's what metal is , to slap you into the face with a real attitude of existence itself
The I don’t give a fuck anger. Also, it’s too hard for small bands to find venues that draw people. The 15 to 20 year olds are really messed up socially. My kids got so screwed up from the pandemic that they aren’t comfortable in public or in large groups. 2 years of being cooped up and reliant on the internet did a number on the generation.
PERSONALITIES, that old Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll attitude. That’s what missing in both Rock and Metal today. Metal and Metal fans also needs to forget about musicianship when it comes to the Guitar, because no one gives a fuck about how good you can play on your Guitar, except for nerds. Just make some kick ass songs to groove the fuck out to.
the whole black metal thing in the early 90s. when that guy from Mayhem murdered the singer and the whole church burnings shit was uncalled for but it was schocking. nowadays its a safe environment in metal music
There are great bands out there but they are harder to find because there is so much more noise these days. Music was different, there is so much more competition these days. We won’t have anyone as surface as Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden any more because the way we consume music has changed.
I don’t think there’s anything mussing in metal nowadays- there’s so much of it, so many different styles and sub genres, so many independent bands and major label bands, thousands and thousands and thousands- anything anyone thinks is “missing” now I can guarantee it’s still out there, might not be famous but it’s still there- everything from back in the day is still there in the old and new bands and there’s a lot more aside of that too..
Nothing sadder than a 60yo putting out DM? Nah.. DM is a style of like Blues or Jazz and there's always room for more talent without needing to be a young, attractive or stylish.
I’ve always said it myself DM is the blues. People lament sameness but look at blues and jazz there’s standards there’s a method to it and you take it and make it your own
What’s missing is the rawness. EVERY single metal recording soundings too processed and over polished. Classic heyday heavy metal was raw and analog sounding. It didn’t sound like someone took the soul right out of it in post.
hell yeah! my favorite artist today is Gran for that reason, I'll post a link since I can't spell his last name for shit ruclips.net/video/qJpGCoZ4dts/видео.htmlsi=dOrAqIHzxpw-Xg4q CC is English! Cheers!
0:02 What is missing in metal today is the underground bands (most of them) are not doing the music how they really want to, but having a producer telling them you got to do it this way instead. The band Biohazard said it best in one of their earlier songs - 'Music for you and me, not the F- ing industry'
i used to hate Glam in the 80's but I don't think I hate it near as much as metalcore. That's all anyone seems to want to hear now. And the only thing they seem to care about is the breakdown. Breakdowns have become so lazy and lame now. It's rarely backed up with a cool riff it's just them playing really slow for a few seconds and someone using over processed vocals going "Bleegh"
I would argue that the only genre that is still evolving and changing is metal. The music has become more complex, complicated and is still pushing musical limits and math. All other genres seem to be derivative and most artists sound alike.
Metal was dangerous back in the day and now it’s a class you can take in college 😂 deicide scared the shit out of us when we were kids . Glad you’re still kicking Glen🔥
He's so right about everything. 15 years ago I bought the "glen benton for president" patch, and I'm still proud of it

Love Glen ur my idol since i was 17 and now im 32 ty!
What's missing in metal today i don't know let's see maybe people willing to play metal it's so depressing having too jam to RUclips and all I want is a drummer that's willing to improvise with my sepultura style riffs too much to ask i guess😭😭
Back in the days people had dreams about becoming something big inspired by Iron Maiden, Mötley Crue, Metallica and Pantera etc.
Kids nowadays have other dreams, they want to be streamers or influencers. Music is not really a dream job for most people.
This aint gonna change, it will probably get worse.
@@BlazonStone lol good to know you're aware of an entire generations ambitions and dreams. Cuz social media exists. Must be why there are no new musicians or young bands.....oh wait.
@@veenoir1991 Of course there are, but not in the same way, the guy in the comment wants to play in a band and explains the struggle he has with it, which I think many can relate to
@@veenoir1991 You sound salty
@@TimmyTurner421 lol sure buddy
Good sound engineering.
Creativity.
Just for starters
Depends how you define metal. Some people think pop bands like motley crue or kiss are metal. I dont even consider iron maiden very metal. They were originally, but got too formulaic.
Iron maiden isnt metal....its complete metal......
@@piusaditya5206 only first 2 albums
@@DAMON409 lol nope
@@piusaditya5206 "heavy metal". Maiden with Dickinson was not very heavy. Major chords , poppy choruses. Video age killed metal.
@@piusaditya5206 spandex is pop, not metal, kid.
Glen is a real one. I remember getting Legion when it first came out and thinking Deicide were the most evil mfs ever. The esthetic worked 🤘
I went from Nu Metal in the 90s to thrash, death metal and now black metal. I got bored of everything but black metal. I still go back to it for some reason.
Classic death metal has lost
It’s edge and variety because it’s trapped in its own genres definition. 200 stab wounds sounds like every great death metal band, and they’re brand new, death metal needs some variety, that’s why subgenres are being explored more and more, they have the attitude, the talent, the song writing, the look, and they kick ass
What’s missing is uniqueness… all the bands sound the same. Its like musicians cant break that barrier
Barnes says he's the greatest death metal singer but he ain't a pimple on Glenn's ass. Once upon the cross was my introduction to death metal and it scared me shitless for years but now top 3 death metal bands forever
I agree with Barnes early stuff was too iconic and genre defining Glens vox are no better than similar bands of the time MA, Monstrosity, Cancer etc
@@off6848 top 3 death metal vocals 3 frank from suffocation. 2 Glenn. 1 corpesgrinder. Dude gets heavier every album and he enunciates
@@stevenborrowman9282 I’m not a corpse grinder fan but I would agree on Suffo being top 3
I also like the proto slam gutturals introduced on Disgorge 92 demo cognitive lust of mutilation
Chris sounds like a monster detached from this world with no ability to grasp the concept of what Earthlings call "music" which, in my opinion only, makes him the best. Glenn sounds like a monster but it's a kinder monster who learned music.
Barnes is awesome, too. He's just a difficult guy
I would say it's the same thing missing in life itself. Originality. Independence. They create a template that sells and then everyone has to rinse and repeat.
.... cant we all agree that the 80s n 90s drug scene have alot to do for what we know....
The mystique. The spectacle etc
I mean, think of how exciting it was with Jerry Lee flying all over his piano, Little Richard with his costumes, voice and fkn soul! in like, 1955! Yup, dig the characters, man😎
Sú to už roky s Deicide , akoby to bolo včera!!!😊
In my opinion Metal in general is in a great place nowadays! There are a ton of bands keeping the old-school alive and well as long with new innovation
Well, people just want to please everyone today and not hurt other's "feelings" like watafak that's what metal is , to slap you into the face with a real attitude of existence itself
Glen still buds with Bob Larson?
The I don’t give a fuck anger. Also, it’s too hard for small bands to find venues that draw people. The 15 to 20 year olds are really messed up socially. My kids got so screwed up from the pandemic that they aren’t comfortable in public or in large groups. 2 years of being cooped up and reliant on the internet did a number on the generation.
A melody of any kind.
My uncle lived next door to Glen in Holiday Florida years ago.
Digital recording killed rock music.
Its the reason older analog hardware recordings in rock/metal sound ahead of today’s digital stuff.
Very bold words about metal personality and imagery from a musician that uses AI-gernerated cover artwork for his new album
Decent music and characters
PERSONALITIES, that old Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll attitude.
That’s what missing in both Rock and Metal today.
Metal and Metal fans also needs to forget about musicianship when it comes to the Guitar, because no one gives a fuck about how good you can play on your Guitar, except for nerds.
Just make some kick ass songs to groove the fuck out to.
This times a million
@@allwalledupGuitarists nowadays don't know the difference between impressive and expressive
the whole black metal thing in the early 90s. when that guy from Mayhem murdered the singer and the whole church burnings shit was uncalled for but it was schocking. nowadays its a safe environment in metal music
There are great bands out there but they are harder to find because there is so much more noise these days. Music was different, there is so much more competition these days. We won’t have anyone as surface as Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden any more because the way we consume music has changed.
Love that is he wearing a Dingbatz shirt! Place is awesome!
Once upon the cross is one of the greatest Death metal albums of all time
I don’t think there’s anything mussing in metal nowadays- there’s so much of it, so many different styles and sub genres, so many independent bands and major label bands, thousands and thousands and thousands- anything anyone thinks is “missing” now I can guarantee it’s still out there, might not be famous but it’s still there- everything from back in the day is still there in the old and new bands and there’s a lot more aside of that too..
Metal today is a bunch of screaming, over processed brats.
@@zeenuf00 So true 🤣👍
He’s wearing a Dingbatz shirt! 🤘🏻Showing some Jersey love.
Go Glen.
Remember when bass drums sounded like bass drums? Thats definitely one thing that is missing lol.
Nothing sadder than a 60yo putting out DM? Nah.. DM is a style of like Blues or Jazz and there's always room for more talent without needing to be a young, attractive or stylish.
I’ve always said it myself DM is the blues. People lament sameness but look at blues and jazz there’s standards there’s a method to it and you take it and make it your own
What’s missing is the rawness. EVERY single metal recording soundings too processed and over polished. Classic heyday heavy metal was raw and analog sounding. It didn’t sound like someone took the soul right out of it in post.
Is this a clip from the interview from last year year that news sites are treating as new info?
Garza reminds me of a famous Native American herbalist called 7Song. He is from Ithaca, NY.
i still have my glen benton for president patch
Me too! \m/
Bring back the brothers
the brothers are doing fine where they are
@@TheFujac lair in wait is alright album tho
Metal used to be dangerous
It was never dangerous. It's just entertainment.
hell yeah! my favorite artist today is Gran for that reason, I'll post a link since I can't spell his last name for shit ruclips.net/video/qJpGCoZ4dts/видео.htmlsi=dOrAqIHzxpw-Xg4q CC is English! Cheers!
Been listening since I was a kid. Never ever saw how music can be dangerous lol
Only christians thought Metal was dangerous. Its just music man lol
I think they may have ment Dangerous ( edgy, pushing the limits ) you know, like calling something “sick”
"What's missing in metal today" : The fanbase.
Everything today is rap, hip hop, throw away pop trash and country.
🎯 💯 🎯 💯
0:02 What is missing in metal today is the underground bands (most of them) are not doing the music how they really want to, but having a producer telling them you got to do it this way instead. The band Biohazard said it best in one of their earlier songs -
'Music for you and me, not the F- ing industry'
as a metalfan, its easier for me to talk to rap and pop fans then it is other metal
@@INIGO7gatekeepers ruin everything..
@@foreverunsaved6661One of the best songs of that era. I love that tune.
missing today? own identity. it's all on repeat.
Hey guys just got done jamming 😂
The best part of death metal is that it will never be mainstream! It's a small club- for members only!
i used to hate Glam in the 80's but I don't think I hate it near as much as metalcore. That's all anyone seems to want to hear now. And the only thing they seem to care about is the breakdown. Breakdowns have become so lazy and lame now. It's rarely backed up with a cool riff it's just them playing really slow for a few seconds and someone using over processed vocals going "Bleegh"
I like the early gothencore era of metalcore. The djentcore era not so much

Benton knows whats up. He made pretty good album like 20 years ago lol
he makes good albums since 1990*

TACKLIN’ FUEL!!!
Lookin at Glen it’s obvious what’s missing…hair
I would argue that the only genre that is still evolving and changing is metal. The music has become more complex, complicated and is still pushing musical limits and math. All other genres seem to be derivative and most artists sound alike.
Glen Benton is fucken hilarious.
