Chuck Schuldiner betrayed Death metal worse than Chris Barnes did 

if Chuck betrayed death metal by selling out and making masterpieces like Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic, and The Sound of Perserverance...I'M SO GLAD AND HAPPY HE DID

“You either die as Dissection or live long enough to become In Flames” -unknown

I think context matters with a band changing their sound. In the case of Metallica its obviously selling out because they were deliberately softening/simplifying their sound and riding the 'heavy alternative' trend in the 90s and early 00s to sell more records. Bands like Death and Gorguts changed their sounds because they were progressing as musicians and wanted to make original music that pushed the boundaries of the genre, there's nothing trendy or commercial about them.

Chuck said him self multiple times his later albums weren’t death metal

CHUCK WAS A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER!!!!

I'm glad that Death "betrayed " death metal and put out masterpieces like Human and Symbolic,albums that bands like CC which never betrayed death metal will never ever be able to make

17:29 Dawg licked his lips after talkin' bout suckin' one 😂😂

As a Chuck Schuldiner fanboy I am here to cry about your opinion sir. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Corpsegrinder is like a Big Kid. He's addicted too his clawmachines.

Spirtual healing does not have the gay logo brah brah. Another out of the loop geezer.

When is the split between HHR cats and NWN cats ?

I love how she rolls her eyes before you put her down. The cattitude.

Chris and Danny from autopsy were doing abscess right after autopsy broke up and put out over eight records and various splits and eps.eric from autopsy was doing funeral and playing in asunder so this talk of them leaving the scene is pretty dumb.autopsy worst album is better than any band you likes best album...you don't like autopsy you don't know real death metal.

All kidding aside, Chuck was homosexual wasn't he? He certainly was very effeminate and a lot of his bandmates were gay.

Hard to call something done with talent a “betrayal.” Barnes just outright sucks at making music. I don’t think anyone betrayed. One is just talented and the other is just shit. It’s that simple brah brah

Some musicians do something so great that they get a pass in my book for any supposed down-grade. Trey Azagthoth gets a pass, I don't give a damn if he puts out 10 techno albums. James Hetfield gets a pass even when he sings country ballads. Lemmy gets a pass even doing Christmas songs or some such. Chuck Schuldiner gets a pass even though he hired great musicians to elevate himself and he got way too melodic.

I saw Death on the Spiritual Healing gig I think at Milwaukee Metal fest and got to speak to him at a merch table and was really underwhelmed at him telling me he didn't even like singing Death Metal he wanted to do Power Metal. Shit man that was during one of the best DM albums ever. I left very confused.

17:11 dawg looked like he was catchin somethin nasty Catchin that Glen Benton gunk

I can't knock Chuck for having creative hunger and musical progression. He'd likely be a prog lord if still around, casting a massive metal shade on Dream Theater.

Heeelll no 😂, I much rather listen to sound of perseverance than a boring ass album like haunted

17:10 the dawg briefly gets possessed by the spirit of a canoe

17:09 that was amazing!!!!!!

BBBBBAAAAAADDDAAAAASSSSS COVER lol fkn Dawg. You’re a solid guy. The cat cameo made me a subscriber and fan for life.

What’s the best one and done? Mine Corpus Rottus intensified gore

Bro! That's a sick collection! Just discovered your channel today. Refreshing to see a real fan instead of these douche try-hards I've been running into. Appreciate what you do. Edit: Also, "Death Squad" was the first Sacred Reich song I ever heard and afterwards I was hooked.

Yo Spongedawg do you accept EBT for them PAAAAAAAIIDDDD questions?

What’s your thoughts on Nocturnus - The Key album

Cannibal corpse is a one trick pony... Just so happens their one trick is making top tier death metal. A death metal riff machine that is pretty much unparalleled.

Hell yeah! I grabbed one of those Carcass boots as well.

I agree about CC but to answer your question who have been around that long and has not sold out... Suffocation. I know they put out their demos, EPs after CC, but they really started as a band around the same time. Yeah Suffocation took a break, but they came back just as brutal as ever.

Chuck tried to kill off Death and do Control Denied, Nuke Blast supposedly agreed to release Control Denied if Chuck did another Death album. That was the word back then.

Your love for metal brings a tear to my eye!

Say what you want about later Death but it is sure more respectable then SFU. At least the musicianship is good.

Sorry but Human will always be my favorite album from death but i love the raw early albums as well.

Death kept getting better and better,biggest loss in metal.

18:03 lol this j-dawg scream is really funny.

Well, Chuck Schuldiner co-created DM but he showed no interest in staying in the style later on. I believe he wanted to contribute to heavy metal in the broader sense. Why else would he change the direction so much, work with classical heavy metal musicians such as Andy LaRocque, start Control Denied, etc.? In some demos, you even hear him personally sing clean vocals. But, to the topic, why call it betrayal? He brought it to life and left it in the hands of tremendous death metallers who are bearing the torch to this very day. I think he did well to not stick to the guns since that, in his case, would have meant to stay in a style he was personally not interested in. That would certainly have reduced the quality of his music, too. Instead, he did brilliant albums, not DM albums, but I can't imagine a world without them. Amen

Look how ragged out that chair is, must be too close to HIGH ESTROGEN????

No Asphyx is the answer to your question and you’re wrong they stayed heavy and while it has changed the Barnes to CG switch was arguably a bigger change in sound

Asphyx s/t is almost infinitely better then Gallery of Suicide

Who else thinks the quality of the channel would improve if Dawg never mentioned Evil Chuck and Death again???? Raise your hands devils🙋🏻‍♂ But Tom G. definitely needs to remain as a permanent fixture. Side-Note: Raise Your Hands✊🏻 is my all-time most favorite Bon Jovi anthem and it's legit way fuckin' heavier than Pantera!

We need an all cat episode!

And also, this DB is too GD stooopid to know that all of his favorite DM bands would literally SMACK him for talking sh-----t about Chuck who they ALL rightfully recognize as one of the best that was and will ever be. Chuck will be remembered long after this DB is dust and that is FACT.

17:10 - top moment from a Cannibore Core apologist

Both CC and Barnes were shit after the split.

Hells is the best distro, I love the fact that I can find non 'PC' bands Like COMMAND and even bootlegs. TOTAL SUPPORT.

I don’t think Cannibal Corpse later on is awful but the last album I spin by them is my personal favorite being ‘Vile’. Their albums after weren’t bad nor anything I’d consider “generic” but there’s something missing from a lot of them and the character of the old stuff is lacking. Their last album was fine but much like the new Dying Fetus were it was like “if I never heard this again would I really be disappointed” and the answer to that question is “no”.

NO PROMISED LAND NO LOVE TOWARDS MAN

Barnes was the best thing CC had corpsegrinder puts me to sleep with his vocals

The reason Chuck didn't stick to his guns and write about the same shit he did in the late 80s, is because he actually grew up and starting writing real lyrics that Chris Barnes or Corpsegrinder couldn't even come close to writing one line of. At least it's not how it is with Metallica where they straight up started writing what sounds like joke albums full of joke songs though.

I dont think chuck would care. He made sure every album was more progressive than the previous. Too bad so many metalheads cant appreciate albums thats just "not heavy enough" he was extremely talented

Maybe Obituary and Deicide are in same camp as Cannibal Corspe on the 30 year mark. Morbid Angel didn't make the cut, LOL.

17:28 when j dawg stubs his toe

Death's career is 1000 times better than a band like Deicide that doesn't make a good album since 2007.

I mean Spiritual Healing and Scream Bloody Gore have the exact same Death logo. Sound Of Perserverance is missing the Ghoul, the cross is is at half staff rather than inverted and it isn't burning. That's the only one without he ghoul it think. The later ones have the ghoul but the cross is at half staff and is not burning. Personally the orginal logo with the Ghoul and burning inverted cross is certainly my favorite variation too, but I wouldn't say the othr one is gay or not metal just because the cross is half staff and not burning. Unless your saying that because it's a simple of chuck pussying out and softening the image, in that case I agree.

Yo JDawg do you think Plankton has heard of Repulsion?

Death is not death metal after Spiritual Healing, but still metal and respectable. Six Feet Under is a joke and their best record is okay at best(the first album). Nothing by Six Feet Under is essential and is nobody's favorite band. Nowwith Death , that's a different story and different eras of the band account for a different group of fans. But that's a rabid and dedicated fan base.

19:01 wonder if Justin’s really Bi

Yo Spongedawg, is the Hell's Headbangers warehouse in a pineapple under the sea? 🍍🏝️

💯‼️🔥☠️🔥‼️💯 hate bands that change their sound but keep the same band name total BS!!!

Reek of Dawg Records ;)

An unpaaaaaaiid question for the devils. Spiked hairstyle, who wore it better. Bart Simpson or Spongeknob?

9:34 you should make that your permanent voice 🤣

I''m a old geezer and still remember when Cannibal Corpse debut. Pretty amazing that they haven't changed their style and Still the kings of death metal. I wonder what Dawg's thoughts on Deicide are.

bands go one of 3 paths, they change styles at some point and keep putting good shit, they go gay and put out numetal and core shit, or they just put out the same damn album over and over. CC did the same album over and over forever and i'm sorry but i can't care anymore. death literally changed their style and still was super good for every style change, don't like it? fine, personal taste, but it's all 100% high quality. then the rest just eventually did groove metal or something and suck dick and ass.

Thumbs Up for the cat.

That dumb bubbles impression fuckin perfect

Spiritual healing has original logo.

I write this before I hear your argument, but you've hinted before that Death changed on Spiritual Healing. That is incorrect. The sound is a lot cleaner, but the riffs are in the same style as Leprosy, and Rick Rozz's squeals were replaced by James Murphy's nasally noodling. He did add many more sad sack harmonies later on, but the riffs were Chuck Schuldiner Death riffs. I don't like later Death much, but Chuck didn't sell out. He continued with the spirit of death metal, but he didn't put the same album out like some of the dumber guys on the scene who never evolved past a teenage, horror movies and beer mentality, for better or worse.

Gonna need the Dawg to review the latest Fluids/Mavizzle collab.

2:33 the thrash band that can’t take criticism and supports any current agenda. Cornballs

Grawling

I want to party with the dawg

“50 dash 000” 😂

Death would be the DM equivalent to Enslaved

Asphyx self titled album is not as good as The Rack but is still heavy as fuck. Now the next record God Cries, THAT album sucks. I cried when I heard that. However they did come back strong with On The Wings Of Inferno which is one of the best records in their catalog, almost as good as The Rack and The Last One On Earth.

For bands sticking to their guns I'm gonna have to suggest Master

Macabre

I wish J-Dawg interviewed Chris Barnes actually

Individual Thought Patterns was my first Death album. Been a fan ever since.

I bought a Six Feet Under cd once at a liquidation place for a couple bucks, don't even think I made it past the first song before I ejected that crap and threw it in the reject bin.

phantom ripps handed to execution

The dawg has style when taking that lp out of the sleeve

Chris Barnes is still a icon J dawg

j-Dawg betrayed Death metal worse than Relapse did.

23:37 is crazy

17:09 17:22

My cut off is the Bleeding Goddamit 😂!! I loved CC when it was the good ol SOLID STATE CRATE/Marshall grind

Cats rule!

Autopsy SHITFUN. A classic. And I could give no fucks if you like it or not.

Hilarious video!!!

Cheese tastes good

Sadus is in the were back category and soon morbid saint also😂😅

Phantom’s (Mexico) new album is a BANGER. They’re from my hometown too

So when autopsy is slow the dawg doesn’t like it. And when they release a CLASSIC ALBUM LIKE SHITFUN, THATS TRASH BRAH BRAH!!!!

Super serious question here devils, if Sylvester Stallone were to make a sequel to the cinematic masterpiece that is OVER THE TOP💪🏻do you think Sly would cast J-Dawg in the role of his arch nemesis, the all-conquering wild-man of professional arm-wrestling OR would it be a minor non-speaking role? Such as just hiring the Dawg for some body-double work, such as some super close-up and seriously buff arm shots during the matches and training montages. Now THAT would be an epic movie and would break box office records everywhere!

I got a Death "The sissy logo" hat and it's still sick brah brah!! But the original logo is better for sure. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Cannibal Corpse 😴😴😴😴

Asphyx

The Hope and Horror ep by Immolation is a BANGER!
