I didn't know Jack Owen was with them now. That's pretty cool to be fair. Together with Barnes they did write some killer songs with Corpse. They should try get Bob Russay on board for the craic. I'd say Alex and Paul from Corpse wouldn't like that ha ha


Ah good for them. I'll always have time for Barnes, he is a living legend. Easy to forget how horrific the lyrics in TOTM are for instance. Or his vocals on Butchered at Birth. He's old now, but who isn't.

You won't get Rusay back from the golf course.

Barnes looks like an auld lad struggling to get his fibre tablets down.


He's a hero of mine most of my life and I won't hear a word said against him but fuck me lads, hes only 57! what in jaysus name happened him?

Was obsessed with him and CC as a young teen back in the day.Tomb of the mutilated was one of the first DM albums I ever bought so always had a soft spot for him.

yea, he'd be around the same age as the lads in corpse. Perhaps the rock n roll lifestyle caught up with him?

even when he was young he did that hunched over singing thing. think he gave up drugs a few years but that could be all gone now

He did go clean a few years back, seems to have at least gotten into enough shape to tour. I'd love to see them here - they're great craic.

Setlist looks great too, mostly earlier shit - 4 from The Haunted and a couple of Corpse songs at the end.

He is 57 lads not 27 doesn't look too far off someone who will be 60 in less than 3 years. The grey beard and hippy hat he has is making him look a lot older since he looks like something from Cheech and Chong.

Also love Barnes but what drugs is he or was he on? Does he not just smoke weed all day every day?

He sounds great in that footage to be fair

He's probably sick of all the EEEEEEEEEE memes.
