Personally I think Corpsegrinder is better. Barnes just doesn't seem to have the same enthusiasm, still good though. I've heard a lot of people who think differently and I'd like to know why.

Poll

All of my favorite CC albums have Barnes, but I prefer Corpsegrinders vocals! It just sounds better to me, but Barnes is still great though!

Barnes.

Cannibal Corpse was funny as hell with Barnes, and this was largely due to his personality, lyrics and attitude. With Corpsegrinder the band is trying to be serious, failing miserably, and just being boring overall.
There is a reason why CC became so big in the early DM scene, and their musical talent wasnt it. It was all thanks to Barnes' humor, the novelty of their gory lyrics and various statements made in the media.

I'm agree with Jupitreas; Cannibal Corpse was so funny in those era, and it's not a bad point, this is good that they could write such gory and erotic lyrics, in the time that most of Death metal bands, wrote philosophical lyrics. Cannibal Corpse in that time was like Anal Cunt, but musically stronger!

barnes had some good vocals but corpsegrinder has the new school/fresh taste sound.

Barnes - should have stayed in CC instead of starting a failure band (Six feet Under)

CorpseGrinder - Should have stayed in Monstrosity, where he was actually a good vocalist, instead of ruining a good band by failing and selling out.

I picked Corpsegrinder because we've seen that his vocals have been able to stand the test of time whereas Barnes has been sounding worse and worse with every SFU album.

Barnes pisses over Fisher a thousand times over. His gutteral growl was one of the first to sound that deep and opened up a whole new style of growling for the genre. Fisher does sound unique, yes - and is energetic - agreed, but being an original fan from their first LP I guess I am just biased. Never did like change that much!

Corpsegrinder is the better vocalist. Barnes is just plain worthless most of the time and most of the projects he's been in suck major balls. Corpsegrinder has shown that he's a competent vocalist who's miles ahead of Barnes and who manages not to suck. Aside from that, Chris Barnes should be fucking burned alive for that travesty hi likes to call Six Feet Under and which is an enemy of real metal. Therefore I voted for Corpsegrinder as the better vocalist of the two. This is with no relation to the quality of the two eras of CC though.

The band itself was actually better with Barnes, even if he was and is a worse vocalist than Corpsegrinder. It's not Corpsegrinder's fault the band has decreased in quality though. It's not the vocals that are problematic, it's the rest of the music that's gotten generic.

Corpsegrinder writes nothing, therefor he is shit. Barnes kicks ass hands down, as soon as he left CC the band went downhill. still an amazing band but they just arent the same without barnes. oh well SFU is much better than CC imo

I voted for Barnes not because I think he is much better than Corpse.. but because he is a bigger personality. He has a "greater" attitude. only for that reason.

Chris Barnes hands down his vocals are so much more low and distinguished. Also the albums he did with Cannibal Corpse are my favourite ones from them.

George fisher's vocals are not bad but chris banres is so much better and I think his voice is natural and he doesnt need to attempt to sing death metal.

I think new fans vote for fisher, and its normal I think, but even at their last dvd theyve put Barnes's voice at dvd's menu! but the most funny thing in this dvd is that Barnes's livid eye , who knocked him I dont know

39 to 26?! that's just wrong. corpsegrinder's voice has ZERO personality. totally generic guttural growling. chris barnes' growl has a personality the size of texas. sorry corpsegrinder fans, but he doesn't even come close.

totally agree with you, Barnes voice has Personality + Masterpiece Techniques. one of the unbelievable vocals in death metal is his vocals I think. but Fisher has a normal strong vocals nothing more.

i am now a CC fan, and i have to say Barnes sounds PURE FUCKING EVIL. both his insanely low gurgly stuff and his chilling shrieks.. HOLY SHIT. in fact, i dare you all to find a more evil vocal performance than on the studio version of "Fucked With a Knife"...
