Cannible Corpse "Thrash Metal" ?

I introduced my girls to an American Classic - Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Of course they LOVE it.

I noticed on the end credits Cannible Corpse was listed as a Thrash band. I just thought that was interesting. The early(ish) 90's there were less genres to choose from, but I'm surprised a movie that was made in Florida couldn't get that part right.

I was reminded of how funny Jim Carey can be, how hot what's her name was, and how great that movie was.

Meh, that's Hollywood for ya. If kids are moshing and stage diving to it, then it must be "thrash" as far as they're concerned.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen "Ace Ventura" in ages...loved that flick when it first came out. "Allllllll RIGHTY THEN!"

I'd call it "trash" myself

Ditto.

Though I have to give CC some grudging props for taking what should've been, at best, a one or two album joke and stretching it out to a 20+ year career.

That movie is hilarious!I like the part where Jim Carrey gets on stage and "sings" with the band.

on an episode of Scrubs, they called Devildriver a "speed metal" band. that's Hollywood for you.

btw: screw you guys, Cannibal Corpse owns you all.

I was waiting for someone to say this and somehow I just knew it would be mc.

CANNIBAL CORPSE are a great band and better than half the bands discussed here.

Nah, he's just moved on to psychological warfare. He compliments a band, hoping for exactly that response, and then insults hundreds of bands in a single sentence.

Very sneaky, Temple of B!tch.

anyone can write crappy music with b horror movie lyrics
guess they deserve some credit for practicing alot, does take some ability to play fast and be tight as a band.

I actually Cannibal Corpse, I find them amusing and like Freddy I am amazed they have had a career that has lasted twenty plus years. Also very cool band to catch live.

I might like them if they actually sang. Hell, their lyrics are from anatomy books half the time but the "WOOOOOAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!" vocals have to go.

Half their charm is their cookie monster vocals and the fact that you can't understand a word the errr.. singer is singing, of course you can't expect a Freddie Mercury type vocal performance from a vocalist who is nick named Corpse Grinder.

sure they can. however Cannibal Corpse doesn't.

"The Bleeding" is VERY well-written and arranged.

It's so funny to hear some of the bands you guys lose your mind over and then hear someone say CC write crappy music. Ha!!

What I find interesting is that you defend Cannibal Corpse but then go on and on about Slayer's lyrics!!!!! Glad to know you are fan but what crappy bands are you referring to oh so wise one?

Cannibal Corpse have stayed here for 20+ years because they are the real deal. Like 'em or not (I am not a fan personally), they are good at what they do. They are also one of the original bands in their genre, and that alone demands respect, imo.

I agree with Kmorg Cannibal Corpse are the real deal, love 'em, hate 'em, or indifferent to them, they have been recording and touring for over 20 years, that alone deserves some measure of respect.

To anyone except ourselves, not much more than the other.

That's enough bickering, guys.

Huh? What did I say about SLAYER's lyrics? Recently I just remember saying the two new songs they previewed sounded generic ... but I didn't say it was because of the lyrics.

You guys seem to think lyrics are a bigger deal than I do.

No point in listing bands ... some people here would have a hissy fit that their sacred cow bands were being criticized and they would take it personally.

Fair enough on the Slayer's lyrics comment, I must of confused you with another poster comments regarding Slayer and you maybe right someone might get a offended if you list what bands you felt where not worthy.

If I knew Slayers or Mercyful Fate's lyrics, I probably would be bothered by them immensely. But I don't, and I don't really care to know what the lyrics are about, otherwise as a Christian I would be bothered by them and could not allow myself to listen to such bands. Not knowing the lyrics allows me a great deal more freedom to enjoy great music.

However, those bands that I know have positive or Christian lyrics, I tend to sometimes pay attention.
