Yes, I imagine it must have been like that. I could pick up Alex’s playing only in studio recordings, not live 
But the vocals, man, I can’t believe I liked that (In cannibal corpse they are specially (sp?) unintelligible (sp?), even among death metal bands) — Javier Gonzalez Nicolini Ingeniero Civil en Computacion – Universidad de Chile

LOL – I think Obituary gave up on (or perhaps never even had) lyrics – they would just growl rhymically and angrily : ) Maureen

Check out the instrumental track on the CC "Gallery of Suicide" cd – I think it’s called "From Skin to Liquid" or something suitably creepy : ) There’s a lot of good music in some death metal bands….the vocals kill it for me most of the time though. Maureen

I used to have a practice room next door to Cannibal Corpse. Couldn’t tell you anything about the bass – It all just sounded like an unending wall of atonal gut-busting sludge, punctuated by brief silences as they took yet another bong break.

Alex Webster is/was (when I was a fan of him) the bassist for Cannibal Corpse. And a damn fine bassist too… right hand speed that was downright frightening. Kept up with speed-picking guitar players, fingerstyle. I liked him a lot. Although, I can’t stand to listen to Cannibal Corpse anymore. From my death-metal fandom days, I dumped all the tapes, but three jewels I bought on CD and are the only death metal I listen to anymore: Morbid Angel’s ‘Blessed are the Sick’,’Covenant’ and ‘Domination’.
