Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth Studio Footage 1991 

@KTV 4U it is most certainly not lol, it varies a ton depending on studio and how the band prefers to record

😂

Nowadays, there's a lot of punching-in and even recording note by note. It's crazy. The pursuit of perfection that isn't attainable.

Joe- & one of the best in metal.

Super nice guy Alex is for sure!

He is using badass bass bridge

@@jamesmurphysimp4806 xD

NIGHTMARE_VON Ltd basses are better

NIGHTMARE_VON Yes they did the esp 400 series was released in 1986

i just don't really know how he plays death metal without a pick. I'm a guitar player and I can play a bass because of my knowledge of the guitar but there's no way in hell I can play with my fingers like that. I give death metal bassists that do that props.

@@kaineobrien970 I can play Alex Webster's lines just fine using my fingers; he normally uses three, I use two ( naturally that would be way harder, so the only way ive built up the speed is with bands like maiden

@@kaineobrien970 then you have Steve digiorio playing death metal fretless without a pick.

And the Suffocation sticker is also very cool

Shows how professional Alex is, he's playing his part and other guys in the room goofing off and he's so focused it's like they're not even there!

😮

Cc members as a whole are def technicians

Scott Burns was beast of a producer. He helped make so many good metal albums in this era.

personally like living dissection more

Maybe Rancid Amputation is the best one from the album. Maybe.

Innards Decay is a high opponent tho. Also, Vomit The Soul.

I think the title track to Butchered At Birth is their most graphic song.

Alex is a beast

lol

I mean they all looked like that

@@mephistopheles7545 except for maybe bob russay. Dude looks like his in his mid 40s.

@@duckjy890 aging was rough on the guy that’s for sure

@@mephistopheles7545 yeah feel bad for the guy. Still a badass guitarist tho.

this is one of my fav albums ever - deff my fav cannibal corpse record - everything about it is so unique

Glitch Funk Resistance or in other words, Death Metal

what do you even mean? Both grind and thrash are super fast paced so how is it between on of them if it's mid tempo?

Butchered has always been my favorite album by corpse it was kinda a underated album

My friend in highschool used to say he slept to this album too! I always thought that was hilarious but maybe there's something to it🤔

There's also a Suffocation sticker on the bass, as well. :)

A Morbid Angel sticker was later added

lol when i researched to see what he's up to I think he does lol

RIGHT!

Jesus, it’s huge! Why doesn’t anyone warn him?!?

His hand spiders have 8 legs this one has 4 fingers and 1 thumb

You mean Sepultura Arise? Sadus had Swallowed In Black in 1990.

@@timbuk1126 Arise is a song by Sadus

And a Fender

A P-bass \m/

Ibanez atj

GavinTheAmazing no it’s a p bass for sure I had one

@@gavin6666 you joking right?

RIGHT

You're soooo right.

I think it's living dissection

@@gorgoroth6072 EVERYBODY BLEEDING

Solid point. Love that shit

great song,my fav album

Oh I would never wanna know what cannibal would be like with Barnes today he’s completely lost it

isnt it, i was blown away when i found out alex played on same precision bass like me :D that being said..if you can play most brutal death metal on a precision bass..then you can play everything on a precision bass

People really underestimate this music, a lot of death metal is really complex, technical and difficult to play. I absolutely love it.

I think you speak for everyone when you say this. I absolutely love this sort of music. And watching this video really shows how much effort they put in when making this sort of music. Sounds amazing. And how about that drum sound. Really unique snare and bass drum sounds.

Very low on the final mix of the album, guitars and drums buried it

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean sideways? I w always pluck down.

mkfanforever58 He's hitting the strings in the direction of the pickups, perpendicularly to the body of the bass, not parallel and down towards the floor. Just like he were slapping. It gives a more percussive, attacky, clicky whatever tone.

+mkfanforever58 hi

thats how i play for the most of the times...of course depends on a song

Sometimes digging in sideways and really plucking the string sounds cool and has its place too. Like for emphasis on certain notes, do the percussive thing most of the time and mix in the plucks. Sounds like "Tikita-tikita-tikita TWANG."

Along with Eric Langlois of Cryptopsy, those are my three favorite bassists.

Yes it is

BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A BAT A

with the bass neck being so damn long awkward ass positions are often more comfortable i find lol other wise frets 1-7 seem sooo far away haha

Because Alex can do ANYTHING with his bass. The guy is crazy.

its more comfy when sittin doin 16notes and gallop

its called joints what makes his leg go like being flexible and shit... ;-)

It's actually really comfortable, when I started out on bass I played like that exclusively for the first few months until I figured out a comfortable strap position.

This comment still holds up 11 years later Alex is even better at bass in 2021 with a new album out soon :)

Some people are just born to be musical.

You should see him in 2021

You think he just was good when he picked it up? They all said they sucked ass in their first previous band, takes LOT OF ORACTICE

He was playing bass for several hours a day at this point already, bands' second album, so he is pretty much a pro in this vid

I can't dig anything after chris barnes left

@@ahmettcavus I think vile was good but after their sound became too different for me

Quit gatekeeping metal. Anyone can get into this.

I’m just barely gen z and this is one of my favorite albums of music in general

Most bands are like that in the studio. I've worked in a studio before and rarely are bands, particularly metal bands, super serious. They're always excited and jumping around.

Centuries of Torment dvd

+最上もがみ no problem!

+ jumpfart666 Thanks man. I was gonna ask the same question and now I know where to look. \m/!

Hell yeah... thanks my brother \m/

the sound in general is pretty terrible on Butchered

they were still dialing it in ... i noticed that you can hear the bass pretty good on The Bleeding...

Drums and Barnes sound wicked, guitars sound a bit too choked, although it has its charm on heavy palm mutes, but overall the riffs are very sloppy, huge difference with the very tight and clinical tomb of the mutilated where Owen recorded every riff. Idk what the fuck happened to webster on butchered, he doesnt pop through at all.

I agree, sounded more guitar and drums than bass....

Evil12Killer Having a lot of vintage hifi stereos, I finally came up to the point where I can hear bass throughout the whole album, I mean it took me some time to train my ear to pick the bass lines, but it is certainly possible. Its a oittle clicking sound exactly in the middle and is most prominent on Gutted

-3 for me broham \m/

-1. I was born the same year "Tomb of the Mutilated" was released.

Lol I was -9

my dad must have just nut when this was recorded

Damn I was -11 years old

Jay Z No mids all gain

No mids, yet you can still make out every single note. The metal world needs the raw production of Scott Burns again.

@William Edward's The reason that it used to sound that way is because people didn't really know how to record, mix, and master death metal yet because it was so new. So you had producers experimenting, trying out random shit to see if it would work. Nowadays, everybody just runs their guitars through a Peavey 5150, a cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, and they clap an SM57 or two on the cabinet. Yeah, you get a good tone every time, but it's the same tone. Or even worse, they use an AxeFX. It's not so much that people are obsessed with mids, it's that they're afraid to experiment and change their process, instead of just going with what they know works. There was a time when death metal records would often be defined and remembered for their production. That time is over.

Esteban Aguayo shut up

You big dummy

+Christopher Burgert I wouldn't say that but I do like the original Cannibal Corpse band logo better than the current one.

I just wish Bob Rusay didn't give up on music.

Cuzz the direction he wanted to take his vocal style wasnt the same direction the band wanted to go musically. Also, the band wanted to be more involved in the lyrical process, which Chris didnt enjoy. Still an awesome vocalist though, and hes a better fit in six feet under anyway

That's a fact, it's about time for a reunion tour !

Idk man, I like Corpse Grinder. His voice has more range and is clearer, crisper than Barnes. My ex saw them, fuck, 16-17 years ago in Houston and met them back stage. When asked them about Chris, I quote, "He's not worth a zit on Rob Halfords asshole!" So I'm guessing there was some animosity.

@Blubber I agree. Butchered at birth and tomb of the mutilated was about the peak of his vocal talent.

@@RardTangler Corpsegrinder is technically a better singer than Barnes, but Barnes has something unique to his low gutteral growl that makes me more of a Barnes fan, it fitted the music and style of gore more since he wrote all those obscene songs.
