Alex- My mom gave me my first bass Paul- My mom gave me my first drum set Pat- My mom gave me my first guitar Corpsegrinder- My mom gave me my first vocal chords
He should have been in the video regardless. Even just as a part joke. Then start into a more serious tone on about how he started singing, at what point did figure he would go for death growls, and also talk about his neck. Just for good laughs. Singing is an instrument. :)
Moral of the story: Be a good parent. You're kid might become a phenomenal musician one day in a sucessful band & be eternally greatful for your contribution.
be a good parent, your kid might not become a phenomenal musician one day ina successful band, but he will surely be eternally grateful for you did for him
Be a supportive parent! Encourage your kids to venture out on their talent and instinct, its the most rewarding way of learning to appreciate good, hard work! With each new freedom given with a new responsibility as well.. You can't go wrong when you build family relationships on trust,encouragement, acceptance, inspiration and discipline in the sense of honesty and sensibility
I just love to see how humble these guys are plus how they honor their parents for helping them. They are great role models for young musicians or young people in general despite of what you may think of the lyrical content.
Thomas House It’s the same with Gorgasm and Necrotic Disgorgement. Really down to earth and nice guys with extremely violent lyrical content and musical aggression.
My Mom also bought me my first "real" instrument at age 16. It was an ESP LTD H-1001 with an EMG 81/85 set for $400. Then about 3 months later, my Dad chipped in and bought me my first Marshall stack for $400. Shout out to awesome parents that invest in their kids dreams! :)
@@chongyvevo check out pawnshops, bro! You'll find something eventually. Don't give up and don't think you'll never get that gear because at some point you will if you just keep at it. :)
@@MetalxMasters It's true i find a vintage Kramer guitar almost cs almost cheap.they eventually stoped producting this model and continued under this name to make an inexpensive with cheap pu and copy fr. It was a rare guitar. But i realized very late And unfortunately i can't buy it. Also find a epiphon with Gibson pu that amazon was selling it as a cheap version that had cheap pu.!
Ah yes the ESP LTD H-1001. Great guitar. I use to own one and play it all the time. But then my then my rythem guitarist got his Jackson stolen so I lent my guitar to him for a show with my band and it was a better fit for him so I let him keep it. I play gibsons and Bc Richs now but I have good memorys with that guitar.
@@godzillapunisher9912 it's an amazing guitar. I've been using it for about 9 years and it still holds up well. It's been beat up, chipped, scratched and it's still kicking. I've also changed all the electronics and hardware. Don't think I'll ever give it up.
These guys are so down to earth. If you met them at the grocery store and didn't know who they are they are you would never guess their in the biggest death metal band ever
Drummerinthe Park First time I saw Cannibal was Tomb of the mutilated tour. Rob was wearing a cypress hill shirt and sweat pants. I knew he enjoyed the herbal relief!
"My mom gave me this..." "Gift from my mom on my birthday..." "My dad got me this one..." "My mom got me that..." Death metal parents are the best parents!
Alex and Pat sound so articulate (especially Alex). Paul looks like a super cool and interesting guy and Rob is your typical stoner friend lmao this is one of my favorite videos on RU-vid
I think it's crazy that these guys still specifically remember exactly what instruments they used on what albums 15 years later. I don't even remember what pedals I used on my band's EP last year
I had a chance to talk basses with Alex Webster before they went on stage at a show in San Diego back in the day, very cool guy, took the time not only to talk but also listen. At the time he was using his Modulus bass and I had just gotten an Ibanez Soundgear as a first pro bass but I didn't know he used those too, so when he said he also played those it was kinda cool because at the time I didn't know if I had made the right choice in buying one, so if it's good enough for Alex Webster it sure as hell would be good for me. Even better was when in mid show he switched his Modulus for the Soundgear and finished the show playing that one.
I've loved cannibal corpse since the first time I heard them in 93-94 I was 14. Its always awesome to see how nice these guys are, by the sound of the lyrics and tone of the songs you'd think the dudes eat babies...but their just great dudes.
I just love to hear how the parents just been supportive to these amazing musicians and getting them the instruments they needed to play the kickass music they make
What all these guys said about their moms buying them their instruments is all true. My first 2 basses (black ibanez and red j bass) my mom bought me, and I cant thank her enough. Love your moms guys, cause one day you won't have her.
i think a group of awesome moms needs to be thanked. also it shows how down to earth these dudes are by not making up some crazy story of how they started music. some average american family shit. i love it
That fender p bass Alex has is an excellent instrument amazing tone and texture I wish he would record still with it . The only draw back is that it doesn't have a 5th string.
He would probably say that it's completely useless. 6 strings are way more comfortable and they already detune very hard so adding another 2 strings would be a waste. With that low tuning those 2 strings would clash, you couldn't tune them accordingly unless you want some subsonic bass to go with your guitar. Also you can't just write riffs the same way and power chords sound just awkward on these two fattest strings. It wouldn't sound like him and keep in mind that he plays 6 strings for 40 years now so it would kill him to play a new instrument, because that's what 8 string guitar is, a completely different thing.
jack used seven strings back when vile came out, pat used them too when gallery of suicide came out and he stopped using them when gore obsessed came out but jack was still using sevens and he went to six strings on the wretched spawn
My parents got me an epiphone les paul (the one in my pfp) about 2 years ago. I am really great full for the guitar, and now, i bought my own. A sick Jackson Rhoads
It makes me smile hearing them tell stories of their moms buying them their early instruments . For my birthday . My Mom offered to pay half of my Glarry Precision Bass . I absolutely love it. Plays , feels and sounds better than modern player series Fender p basses . The name on the headstock doesn't always mean better . However that 80s precision bass Alex got from his Mom is beautiful even if it wasn't his bass. That would go for an easy 4000 today. Just the acoustic tamber coming through speakers tells me that an amazing precision bass. Which is why his bass tone sounded so amazing on all the records up until the Bleeding . He was playing that cream colored precision bass. He play a four string Ibanez on The Bleeding . Which is their best record up until Skeletal Domain . Perfect production and even the deep cuts are phenomenal .
You're absolutely right, all the basses he showed are not really really expensive (Pat's guitars are for example), but you can tell from their sound in the album and as you said acoustically for the fender bass, that they are great instruments wisely chosen. Alex Webster could make a 70euros bass sound like a professional instrument anyway, most of the job is done by the amp and the player's ability.
I just like how these interviews. They are really decent musicians and human beings. Yet you get those typical messed up cannibal corpse's album art XD. Its literally 2 different things
