“I just didn’t like being around them, because they ridiculed me, and I didn’t feel comfortable being in the same room with people who weren’t very nice to me personally. And I was part of that too, so we had our own kind of differences, personally, and I didn’t think they would be able to be resolved. You know, mutual respect goes a long way when it comes to being around people.
Owen let CANNIBAL CORPSE in 2004, explaining in a statement that his “heart was no longer in it, and it was reflected in my appearance on stage. Times change and I no longer enjoy music as much as before, and the only thing that kept me in the band was the stable job and the salary,” he said. “These things make it unfair for me, for my band members and, above all, for the fans.”
After what Barnes will leave CANNIBAL CORPSE to form SIX FEET UNDERwas replaced in the old band by George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher.
