Remember that whole "Six Feet Under don't have a drummer" thing?

Holy shit, look at his hand, he's a Super Saiyan!

Well, now they do. As I said the other day, SFU is short two members, and while there's still no word on a replacement for bassist Terry Butler, they have found someone to replace drummer Greg Gall, and it turns out that someone is one Kevin Talley. Obviously this is great news, because Talley's a very talented drummer and Six Feet Under is a very prestigious band, but I can't shake the feeling that he's a tad bit over-qualified for this gig. This guy's basically the Derek Boyer of drums, with a resume including Dying Fetus, Misery Index, The Black Dahlia Murder, Chimaira, Daath, Suffocation, Hate Eternal and many more, and then he goes and joins a band that's basically the AC/DC of death metal. Strange, no? Don't get me wrong, I'm psyched for the guy, I'd jump at the opportunity to play for Six Feet Under given the chance, but still. Who knows, maybe he'll be able to get them to kick things up a notch. Think about it: Six Feet Under with blast beats and crazy fills. Now that's something I'd like to see. A lot of people give the band grief for being simplistic and boring so maybe this is their chance to shut them up. If not then they can go ahead and keep eating their hater tots, 'cause I still like them. Leave your thoughts below, and keep an eye out for more cool/dumb stuff.

Six Feet Under loses two members

Well this is unfortunate. According to Metalsucks, drummer Greg Gall and bassist Terry Butler have simultaneously decided to leave Tampa death 'n' rollers Six Feet Under, leaving only guitarist Steve Swanson and notorious ex-Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes. There's no word on what Gall is going to be doing with himself now, but Butler has been jamming with Obituary for the past year or so, and as such will now be joining them full time. Going straight from Six Feet Under to Obituary? Sounds like a sweet deal to me, good on ya man. Luckily, none of this means that SFU will be disbanding. Barnes has already mentioned that they've been working with someone else for the past few months, so everything should proceed as normal for the band. And let's face it, even if they didn't already have someone lined up, finding a competent replacement would take all of about five minutes. Six Feet Under's cool and all, but to say their music is simplistic would be quite the understatement. But then again they ARE a death 'n' roll band, so that's kinda the whole point. Oh well, the point is they're not breaking up, so I won't get broken up about it (har). All the same, losing members of a band is never easy, so horns up to 'em. Leave your thoughts below, and stay tuned for more.
