CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster 2013 interview on censorship and the early years | Raw & Uncut 

I would pay cash money to go to an event where Alex would just talk about his love for metal. That would be a really cool spoken word gig.

I love how Alex is so down to earth and not using f-bombs to sound tough, his band is so brutal that he does not need to fake it.

Most chill dude in death metal after Chuck.

"If we were better musicians"???? Dude, you guys are insanely good.

Alex fucking owns. His bass book is fantastic.

I know Alex and he is honestly one of the best guys not just in metal, but in general. Very smart and down to earth guy, no ego whatsoever. Awesome guy. But all of the guys in Cannibal are like that.

"They'll let us play 'Fucked With A Knife' but they won't let us play 'Hammer Smashed face'" It really cracked me up!

The smartest member of CC.

Alex is a great guy. We played with Cannibal Corpse a few times and Alex was great to talk songwriting with. He really inspired me in how I wrote my lyrics.

death metal helps me vent all my hatred,anger,frustration....doesnt exactly free me from it but,it helps...and I love it...

He's such an inspiration. Alex Webster is an icon of death metal \m/

One of the "greatest" bass players in death metal history!

Alex webster inspired me to play bass over guitar.... damn... Because his so damn good at playing bass!!! CANNIBAL CORPSE RULES!!!

Great interview. Never got into CC like a lot of my friends but always respected what they did.

could listen hours to him

Good interview! Alex always looks like such a nice and friendly dude. At 03:40 the camera guy is thinking: "I just want to shoot nature documentaries.. and now look where I'm at"

Awesome! He's so laid back it seemed like a 3 minute interview. When I went to see them here in Brazil (300-350 km from where I live) he was the only one who actually stopped when I was waiting to shake their hands. That made me a happier person, knowing that I shook hands and exchanged some words with my idol.

Id really like to have a beer with Alex Webster

Again, great interview! Alex was the first Death Metal bassist that I could actually hear the bass. Not only that, he's over the top yet tasteful, genre-defining, and never settling. Great stuff!

Awesome interview and Alex is just so fucking cool.

Sam and Alex nearly look like brothers from different mothers.

Alex is a great, normal and intelligent guy who knows how to say things convincingly.

Alex Webster is your friendly... Neighborhood... BASS Player lol

He's so well spoken, intelligent, a true gentleman and very charming and.. Adorable. A real sweetheart of a guy and true love for music and the community.

One of the best live metal acts.

Great interview, love to see more of these!

Great interview !

Absolutely a fantastic interview! Alex is such a great person and a flawless bass player! Always will love his work and what he does in Cannibal Corpse, including his other projects!! Thank you guys so very much for doing this interview! Always love to watch the videos on the channel all the time!! A BANGER TV fan for sure!!

YEEEAAAAAHHHH. I saw you guys when I was around 15 and now that I'm 22 and had some more experiences the like has blossomed into a personal favorite. I hope Pat is doing ok and is in a level mindset.

Alex is the GREATEST death metal bassist of all time. Absolutely mind blowing!!!! I was a teenager living in Florida during the 90s in the hay day of death metal. Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Death, Decide. Such a great time in life and a great time in music. I miss those days everyday.

Nicely produced interview. Its kinda cool to have that wide shot to see the camera and audio setup.

Awesome thanks for that interview.

I still can't believe Cannibal Corpse didn't make it on the "essential early Death Metal albums" chart. My vote would be for The Bleeding (even though it's a 1994 album). If that Lock Horns episode happened 15 years ago, they'd be on there for sure. Kids these days... P.S. - Get off my lawn!

Cannibal Corpse is one my fave bands \m/

thanks Sam! this was killer! always glad to listen to that man talk.

Great interview! I love CC , Alex is such an intelligent, laid back guy. He seems really nice. Sam is a great interviewer. Thanks for the video!

Knowing cannibal corpse started in the buffalo ny area makes me proud to be from there

Happy birthday metalMan!! (25.10.) thank you for the music!

Awesome guy, awesome interview! I'd appreciate the complete Ihsahn interviews, both from "Headbanger's Journey" and the extreme metal episode.

Webster is BEAST

Alex Webster so cool, he's such a cool humble person his band has accomplished a lot it was in death metal and it's cool to see him like you know still being the same guy he was back then nothing's changed about him I like Alex Webster a lot really good guy.

Alex has been my favourite band member of any band since i got into metal when i was 8 . He was just such a nice guy who was very well spoken and super kind to his fans. This guy rules , hell sit and talk with you for as long as ever. Love this guy

It wasn't until I was older that I got into CC, dismissed it for so many years. Now I love it they are so legit its so refreshing these days.

Believe or not, this interview was what got me into Cannibal Corpse. I already have listened to 'The Bleeding' like maybe 10 years ago, because I read somewhere or someone tell me that even people that really dislike then can't deny how good it is. I remember seeing the potencial in the album when I listened to it, but even while I enjoyed death metal at the time al lot, bands like Vader, Bloodbath, The Faceless, Napalm Death... shit, even Nile, I couldn't get to totally enjoy it. In part because of the production, but mostly the vocals, they weren't for me. So I just never went back to then. But the years passed, taste evolved, and I got to see this interview. The man gave me a lot of good vibes. I remember thinking, "I would defenetively go for a beer with this guy" xD. Then you know youtube... I end up watching a concert/documentary about an european tour that they did, and I got quite impresed with how good they are technicaly, and wanting to listen more of then. 'Red Before Black' come out and I jump to it, and wow! I enjoyed very much, it become one of my favorites of the year. Love the production in that album, and the song writting. And now I am knowing their discography little by little. So yeah, thank you for upload the interview.

great interview

I feel so bad for Alex, he's done these same interviews that basically ask who, what, when ,where and why. I fortunately got to meet Alex in Tempe,Az; along with the others except for Paul.

He’s so humble saying they weren’t good enough to play like the bands the listen to or at the end he’s unsure if Cannibal Corpse has had an impact on music. Alex, you absolutely have had a profound impact on heavy music 🤘🤘🤘

Why are some of you surprised when people who make aggressive music are nice? Just like in every genre, there are nice and shitty people. Is that really surprising? "Dude plays aggressive music, he must have anger management issues".

Great interview. Good questions by Sam Dunn. Answers are perfectly down to earth and it just proves my personal opinion that Alex Webster is one of the most intellectual people in Metal music. Thank you :)

Love these interviews that you did :') \m/

I hugged Alex after a show in PDX. couldn't help it I love this guy, I love his mind, he's a genius of death metal my favorite music. this guy's a legend and he was so fucking chill and cool to me in person. he even threw me a water bottle at my first cannibal corpse show. super cool fucking guy.

Such a great and humble guy. People dont get any nicer than this

I've met all the guys of Cannibal Corpse. And out of all the bands I've met over the years, the guys in CC are some of the nicest guys I've ever met.

Censorship is a disgrace to music. These guys worked their asses off writing tomb of the mutilated and its one of the greatest death metal albums recorded, but they can't even play it in Germany.

awesome interview. ALEX WEBSTER is a great person and bad ass bass player

Alex is one of my favorite musicians of all time.

Maan he's such a natural and chill out guy

Extreme metal with a gory aesthetic is like peanut butter and jelly.

This guy’s “Extreme Metal Bass” book/CD instructional was the most fun bass method to work through as a bassist. (It was fun “work”). I became a MUCH better player after that and had a blast in the process. I’ve become a CC fan because of it.

“Thank you for the free advertisement” is probably the most epic response to a censorship effort ever

My God that voice... besides an exceptional bass player he could also be an exceptional narrator!

He is just the coolest dude. They all carry themselves with such integrity.

Lovely man

Alex webster is awesome bass player and nice guy meet him in des moines in 2018

He's one hell of a bass player, more recently realized how good he actually is!

Cool dude! Waiting for Lock Horns, Sam!!

great channel that you guys have created i watched blayne smith,s review of incantation,s new album profane nexus i am looking forward to seeing the 4th installement of lock horns please do blackened thrash metal for the first new debate keep up the good work banger people and you as well mr sam dunn stay metal hails from england

I genuinely take my hat off to these guys! Making a living playing this kind of music is not only hard labour - it is painful! And I speak from experience... To get on that stage every night on tour and give 100% - that is massive blow to a regular guy's body, some wouldn't last 1 or 2 songs!

Eaten back to life was the 1st cannibal corpse i ever heard ,been a CC fan ever since.Saw them live in vic bc years ago and they were amazing live.

"By the time *Tomb of the Mutilated* came out, then we started to run into problems." Yup that'll do it

Legendary!

I look up to Alex Webster.

Love this guy hes super awesome! also the best metal bassist beside cliff burton

I'm glad to see Alex giving props to Necrophagia. Everyone seems to forget that that album was very influential to all of the early death metal bands. It WAS the first death metal album, it came out like 2 months before "Scream Bloody Gore".

Alex is the nicest guy in metal and one of THE best bassplayers or all time. All genres included.

I bought butchered at birth when released with the white cover and it had a place to mail it to get the uncensored version fucking awesome, back then I was getting postcards in the mail about new death metal releases 92-93' for cannibal, deicide etc.

One of the Best Bass Players in History

What a great guy ...

I just fucking love that dude

smart, very knowledgeable guy! respect

What a good guy

One of the greatest bass players ever!

Will always like Alex and Cannibal

This guy right from the get go,Alex Webster seems really nice and a very cool dude! He reminds me of Dave Ellefson ,formerly of Megadeth.Its nice to listen to another nice guy from the metal scene!

Awesome musician !

Went to see them and thy art is murder opened for them. They were good and fun to watch, younger guys very theatrical performance. Then cannibal corpse came on. Old guys with wedding rings, no theatrics just music and their ability to play it. My mind was blown 10 times more watching cannibal corpse.

I play bass guitar because of him. He is my biggest influence

About why some songs can get played and some cannot (or could not): At least in Germany, for something to be put on the Index, someone (anyone) has to file an appeal for it, so to speak. Someone has to contact the authorities in charge of the process and tell them "this album is too extreme". Unless you do that, they won't look into it. So some CC albums were banned just because some guy (or woman, a teacher, iirc) filed a complaint. Afaik at least some of those albums are not banned anymore, though. And they did play Hammer Smashed Face when I saw them live a couple years back.

What a smart and classy guy.

Most humbled guy on the planet. Hail Alex Webster. Long Live Cannibal Corpse.

One the best Bassist’s In Metal Alex Webster is A Machine 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Man, Webster is such a class act

When Alex fucking Webster says he wasn't good enough, in any respect, it just blows my mind. Humble greats, what's not to love?

Natural and eloquent 🤟🏻

Have the utmost respect for him, not only he plays on cannibal corpse but also played on Blotted Science which is fucking amazing

alex has always been such a cool dude

Metal music is about kicking ass and pushing it to the limit. The result is these guys are ACCOMPLISHED musicians!

he's very articulate and interesting to listen to. Also a great player I don't like too much of their music after they moved away from the grimier, ugly sounding music (basically after barnes left) but i 100% respect how important they are to extreme music as a whole.

Great bloke!

Bloodthirst and Kill are bad ass records - Murder Worship, Blowtorch Slaughter two of the heaviest songs ever.
