08 Reek of Putrefaction - Carcass - Wacken 08

[dbthedon]

Seeing Ken Owen air drumming along there brought a huge shit eating grin to my face. What an absolute legend. 

[jdessell]

I didn't even recognize Ken at first. He looked so happy to be there, but at the same time probably heartbroken to not be able to be on stage with the people he grew up and loved to play music with. Ashame what happened to him it is.

[deathwurst]

one of the best

[C2CONTINUE]

Have a nice day!

[karkass4]

this is the music beyond claccification. It eclipses all the light, brain and darkness. It ticks every single synpase in the body and embodies the deity :)

[cris32sobalvarro]

what i loved about carcass reunion tour is that jeff walker did not change his vocals along with bill steer who I think has one of the best vocals in death metal, you have bands like napalm death who for some reason barney does not do much of the deep growls anymore

[shockofhyperbole]

@cris32sobalvarro People's voices change as they age. Just look at James Hetfield. He used to sing in a much higher register, but age killed his range and overall tone.

[CRUSHTHESILENCEREC]

PATHOLOGIST /r.i.p./ official VHS from 1995 on our profile! you won't find that nowhere else on youtube! enjoy!

[koldslaw]

What is that smell, -issit pork????

[MrStoney420]

it's really awesome to see Ken alive still and showing he's one hell of a trooper, and to include him on stage for a drum solo is even more boss!

[mendog777]

Bill Is Grunting Again Yes !!!!! I Hope Thell Come To My Country Hail Carcass!!!!

[reliquias1980]

grind noise collection tape for sale , poeple interest contact me

[AYBOGA75]

Verdammt,muss das geil gewesen sein.....

[TheJuanfut99]

GO KEN!!!! Man it's so good to see that he actually still have it, hope he'll be playin again soon

[GallopingPints]

I was there. One of my most memorable shows. It's sad however about Ken. But his solo was possibly the most touching moment

[edcollante]

Ken. Respect.

[76HOTH]

fan from poland CARCASS is GOD OF GRIND

[WiciuSJ]

@76HOTH

Ooo siema. xD

[SHREDDER222X]

Greatest and "Truest" band ever!!!!

yeah!!!

hail carcass!!!! miss ken owen =(!!

[Ants559]

@SHREDDER222X  eh..id rather listen to guttural secrete or malignancy..thats just me though..

[blackmetalmurder]

what the fuck is parkway drive? I have a feeling it's utter shit.

[Chaanee]

I love Ken Owen! And Bill Steer and Jeff Walker though. I wish they had continued as a trio and that Ken's brain haemmorage never happened :(

[Santaslave666]

Fuck yeah Bill Steer

[ydaube]

best band ever

[Vicfirth7b]

Bill Steer doing vox!!! Hail!!

[deathbox75]

@Vicfirth7b Hail indeed! Bless his bellbottoms...

[adieusimba]

this is just shit.

parkway drive or the amity affliction. thats real music

[IBiteTheHandThatFed]

@adieusimba Theres no such thing as real music. Music is its own thing to each person. But theres no such thing as real music.

[nathan565]

@adieusimba ha. metalcore whores troll hard.

[SuperDeathmetalfreak]

@adieusimba you did not just compare carcass with that gaycore shit! lets see if parkway drive are still ripping up venues in 25 years time. gaycore is the justin beiber of metal - no talent, industry wank pumped out for 'rebellious' teens who claim to be individual but all shop at hot topic and have the same fag ass greasy fag fringe - fuck off to the mall dickwad and show off your new boxfresh JFAC top and self harm scars - Ill be listening to true death

[adieusimba]

@SuperDeathmetalfreak i didnt understand a word you just said.

eat shit and die you emo cunt.

hope you can understand that.

[SuperDeathmetalfreak]

@adieusimba , So not only do you lack musical taste, you also lack a basic understanding of the English language- typical of today's sub moronic youth. I should have guessed you were an untermench from your original heavily misguided opinion, so lets see if I can make it clearer

Deathcore = doubleplusbad

Death metal = doubleplusgood

Carcass = Gods

Parkway drive = cunts who will be forgotten in a years time

[rouenea]

@SuperDeathmetalfreak waaaaiit, someone came up in this bitch talkin about Parkway Drive? Wtf. Thats disrespect.

[JamesYngwie]

Ken is THE real "Chief rebel angel"

[SHEOLDAEMON]

Still their best song!!! The intro-riff is ULTIMATE!!!

[Vomitore]

2:02 = the best part!

[NSGU]

You know why that shit doesn't happen to Lady Gaga and the like? Because, unlike them, WE are willing to suffer for our music to remain pure. Through all our losses and casualties, WE'RE the only people who can say we sacrificed for our art.

[Coldacre]

you gotta feel for Ken; standing side stage with his sticks playing air drums. he wants to be up there drumming more than anything in the world.

[RebornInFlames7892]

Even after the break up of Carcass 12 years before, Jeff's still got it!!!

[MrSuperheadz]

fucking history..awesome times to be a metal head

[mrcaljonis]

ken is fucking crazy drummer!for me his father of blast beat ,not the mike smith...

(bay the way this is profile of my brother)

[R0ttenHell]

Dont talk shit about Ken you fucking morons!!! He was a better drummer this this guy!

[Rockro3]

Ken was the Best!

[sunnylee84]

this is Daniel Erlandsson on the drums which is much better musician than Ken btw. Daniel plays better and with more force. no diss to Ken

[H3xxl0RxXx]

That's not true. Daniel Erlandsson plays more "brutal", faster and more "modern". Ken hoever has an own style of playing the drums. When he plays, it sounds a bit heavier and more rock. I like Kens playing more, in the end it's a matter of your own likes and dislikes, but I just think Ken's playing is a bit nicer.

And yes, I sure do like Daniel, I also listen to Arch Enemy, but still I like Ken's drumming better, it's just not so .. common!

[wilivega]

fuck you you dont know nothing about drums ken is fucking great you pussy

[slantyrock]

carcass are brilliant, they never followed a trend and stayed original even up till swansong, ken always kept his hair short too which was rare for any metal band back then

[dogybag1]

well to me swansong is very original...is less "brutal",but anyways it has its own style...i mean it's something different,i have never heard this atmosphere like they created in swansong,and you can tell it's swansong whitin 2 seconds even if you have heard just one song from that album...

[AlexanderCzu]

The drums fucking kick ass!

[dinkaDPB]

i think its better to be familiar with the track before attempting to view this video

[Yaldabaot1]

Reek of Putrefaction

[symphoniesOVsickness]

all hail the gods of grind. I was lucky enough to see them last year in ny and ken did a nice short solo it was so good to see him back in action and he has come so far hopefuly one day he will be up to his old level so he can rejoin the band. ps.. i wouldnt wish what happend to ken on any one ( even ladyy gaga or 50 cent) remember it could happen to you at any time without warning pss.. i might like to see gaga and 50 hit by a bus though lol.

[SentaMentalJimmy]

Ken fucking owns!

[SuperLoko7]

KEN OWEN!!!...rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡,the best!

[fazner]

Fucking Death to alll that fucking rapers why to real heroes like Ken or Chuck Schuldiner happen things like that... What A SONG

[speedofacentipede]

SSSSSIIIIICCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

[alienhell663]

Fucking Amazing. Carcass FTW

[stoneimage666]

Very cool footage!

[rhysog3]

i agree man , fuk 50 cent and lady gaga

[alexbatey3]

ken owen is a fucking hero!!

he didn't deserve what happened to him

why can't lady gaga or fuckin 50 cent have a hemorrhage!

hail carcass!!!!!

[bairoj]

I totally agree.. It is a damn shame Ken went through all those health problems.. The main thing is that he is still alive today! I am glad carcass is playing again -- the new drummer is good -- he has big shoes to fill and is doing a good job..

[SteelProphet]

@alexbatey3 nobody deserves/deserved a haemorrhage... ESPECIALLY not Ken.. lets put it that way

[WillyTheHurricane]

@alexbatey3

Yeah. Let them rot!

[TubeSpoker]

@alexbatey3 le me tell you, lady gaga is a diva, you don´t know what you´re speaking, problably you won´t buy latest Justin Bieber biography wich is better than this raw shit material wich may i say the vatican won´t like

[MorbidMayhem]

@TubeSpoker

what??? hahaha

[TubeSpoker]

@MorbidMayhem hehehe yes yes,,,sarcasm, rotten sarcasm by me. At least you had fun. Some people believe. For me it´s what they call ´satanism´, wearing a white t-shit in a metal concert, after all, aesthetics is D Deal on the new emo style in bk metal.

[avok23]

@alexbatey3 Cos they dont deserve it. No one really does

[jefster1961]

@alexbatey3  fuckin a right ken owen is one of the top5 drummers of all time if not the fucking best hail kenny owen hail carcass

[gapazian]

@alexbatey3 you actually wish something terrible like this to happen to another human being? get the fuck outta here you tool

[mentalh0rror]

best carcass song ever!!!!

[Knochensplitter]

yes they playd heartwork

[FireGuitar02]

its not heartwork.

[neoxmetal666]

FANTASTIC.

[bslz65]

did they play heartwork?

[gogmagog123456789]

Ken owen is far better than Daniel Erlandson, who is also an excellent drummer

[AlucardsQuest]

I respectfully disagree, but that said we might never know the truth since Ken's skill might not ever be the same as it was when he was at the top of his game. Daniel is really underrated as a drummer, and I think that's because he never shows off what he can really do.

[galanoth619]

is daniel on the drums in this show?holy fuck i knew it

[GenericInsect1979]

I'd have Ken Owen drum for my band if I could.

[AlaanPan]

ken owen !!!!! yeah

[eroticmisery]

Saw them last on the musical destruction tour TIGHT!!!

[sunson69]

Carcass, my no.1 favour forever! Hope ken can make a come back soon!

[deceasemortician]

he is part of the band he might not be playing but he's always going to be part of carcass

[OOverflowW]

Ken you're the man !

[DevilAgency]

Respect.

[ManicRelapse]

Carcass still has it after all these years.

[Coldacre]

KEN YOU LEGEND... air drumming with sticks to your own band. Metal to the end.

[Zerbesserer]

fuck yeah OWEENN!!!!!! Soo much respect!! Keep the metal in your heart!!!

[Jaakez]

Could any body plz tell me what that thing on the new black-white cover of symphonies of sicknes is???

[butthurtbringer]

it's great that they treat him likes he's part of the band. good guys.

[scarsofgod]

Ken Owen!!!

the best human!!!

and the best drummer forever!!!

HEIL CARCASS!!

[AbraxasDesVampires]

They're awesome! But fuck...Ken made me almost cry -___-

[meatjacket]

Well, that will teach death to try and keep a good man down. Still drums better then me. Wore his hair short when all those around him sported the most dreadful metal barnets also. An inspiration. Good stuff.

[brettmann]

he couldnt grow it out that long but still one of the most badass drummers to ever live

[deltron05]

2:00 GO KEN ...we LOVE YOU !!

[yaestuvono]

wow

Mr bean?

ah nope its ken!

jaja

cant wait them to see them again

in Mexico

with maiden n morbid angel

yeah!!!!!!!!!1

[scarsofgod]

Desde Septiembre yo esperaba ver a Ken Owen pero no lo trageron que por sus medicinas...En fin ambos conciertos estuvieron MORTALES!!!

[69stringibanez]

hahahha u maybe cannot, due to swine flu, if carcass starts pig squeling id be pissed

[Metallicapocalyptic]

its not only swine, is also human and birdy...

lol

thats a lab disease

[pin55head]

so sad.... but at least he is alive!!!!

[MetalDave12]

why cant kanye west suffer a massive haemorrhage

not ken

Metal deserves to stay young forever

[avok23]

@MetalDave12 Cos he doesnt deserve it either

[alax19]

Their best song, and I was there!

I felt like crying when Bill finally got up and did vocals.

[unwisestmanuel]

can anyone tell me what happened to ken owen?

like was he in an accident?

i like carcass a lot but i'm only 15

so i know some history to carcass

[r0n12]

He suffered from a brain haemorrhage and spent 10 months in hospital slowly emerging from a coma. He was submitted to 2 brain surgeries.

[pedrodeathmetal]

lol at Ken Owen at 2:07 xD

[gex581990]

its got to be depressing for ken to watch someone else play the drum parts he made and isn't able to play as well anymore.

[DM05]

He looks ecstatic in the video though.

[gex581990]

what appears on the surface isn't whats always whats within.

he probably has his moments

[electrophonic]

fuck yes! hail Carcass! glad Ken is still OK!

[PsychoPathologist420]

Fucking Ken air drumming at the side of the stage. Its really sad what happened to him, he was after all one of the first drummers to master the blast beat.

[warmachine718]

Ken's the man... would you doubt him air-drumming along at the side of the stage, hehe

[jacksonthrasher]

ken is fucking legendary!

[AsurorusA]

is it the original drummer of carcass?

[ApocalypticWarhammer]

No. The original drummer suffered a massive brain hemorrhage in 1999 and spent 10 months in a coma. He went to as many shows as he could during the reunion tour and made appearances on stage when he felt well enough. Daniel Erlandsson from Arch Enemy filled his spot for the tour.

[AsurorusA]

i knew it this is not the original one, coz the beat is like different, well thanks bro

[TwoEyeCyclops]

Is he any relation to Adrian from At the gates??????

[ApocalypticWarhammer]

Adrian is his older brother.

[TwoEyeCyclops]

Kickass

[guitarralaraja]

when i saw ken ´pretending to play drums ,,,

i almost cried!!!

he is the best.

[PanzerLeo]

Oh my god, The Almighty Gods Of Grind, Carcass!!!

My regards for Mr. Ken Owen he is still the best!!!

[EyeHateEmos]

I still se Ken as A member of carcass...

[nicholaswatmough]

He is!

[animaniaco]

Ken didn´t show up here in Brazil...

But I wish him all the best!Go Ken!!!

[thisease]

Be scared all the contemporary long-hair asshole scene od semi-hard musik. THE LEGEND AWAKENED. HAPPILY. MY GOOOOOD

[hellacoptero]

great band

[Hellnezuela]

puedo morir tranquilo, ya los vi en venezuela, son la merma!!!

[tiernocabron]

de antemano todos sabemos que es una de las bandas legendarias del death grind que se reconocio mundialmente en los 90"s

[matteo2007]

KEN = gente boa pra caralho...a parte q ele apareçe é muito engraçada...ahuahauh

CARCASS RULEZ!

[Inpropagation2008]

[nnex2]

Fuck yeah! Hail Carcass excelent footage. Wow thats Ken 2:02 (the original drummer) glad hes fine but sad that he couldn't play :( Hail him

[fridogg]

Ken is incapable after his stroke

[clamchowder01]

Maybe if Ken can get back all his skills ... Carcass will reform for good =)

[brettmann]

no chance of ken fully recovering. hes lucky the brain hemorrage didn't kill him. still a legend in drumming

[FranciscoPortilla]

Claro que si...todos los pastusos con huevos a ver a Carcass!!!!!

[alleyghost]

The therapy seems to be working good... XP

Nice work, guys.

[666MaTyAS666]

good to see ken right

[jamoandres]

todos los pastusos metaleros vamos a ver a Carcass

[666MaTyAS666]

asi es amigo

[DBZ666Dante]

Damn Ken got me all emotional.....Gotta miss him playing drums....May he get back behind that drum kit and blast-beat out ears out:D

[Zombiefied666]

FUck Yeah, Ken should be there blasting that drum kit, not that guy from Arch Enemy.

I will not miss them this tuesday, the concert of my life. Grind on motherfuckers!!!

[Unterpol]

The best grind/death metal ever! End of discussion, alright

[sancamilin]

[animaniaco]

November 9th!São Paulo,Brazil!!

I won`t miss it!!

[pinksocko]

is bill wearing bell bottoms?

[clamchowder01]

yea, it figures because he formed a classic rock style band after carcass breakup.. I remember he always would wear a black t shirt and jeans back in the old carcass days

[PikachusWaffleMonkey]

Yay Carcass...one of the greatest bands ever...I want more vids of stuff from Symphonies of Sickness days pl0x

[actitudbandera]

this video proves that death metal is here to stay!! carcass playing reek in 2008 can you fucking believe it?

[deathmetaltyler]

I hope they continue touring! I must see them live! I'd be afraid that if they wrote a new album it would sound like Arch Enemy, and I can't stand that band

[Alloflifedecays]

They were kinda heading that way with Swansong :(

Long live their death metal/goregrind days as far as I'm concerned.

[insaneedd]

i feel really bad for ken owen :( damn man i bet he wish he was up there with those dudes, carcass are amazing, fuckin great music

[ballmonkey7]

[neurosien]

[GarethGras]

[hazuki2k]

[hellsing1983]

Yeah!!! Ken can still do it. Hope I get to see him play a full set with Carcass. You rule Ken!!!

[Carcaxxx]

Yeah man!

[trumpeteer955]

[matteo2007]

They are fucking amazing! I don't care if they don't make another new album, as long as they continue playing - that's fine with me !

BTW = NECROTICISM Rulez
