This is so metal it's insane.

He also pulled a knife on a cop. But he's white so he's still alive and bullet hole free.

Patrick "Pat" O'Brien's neighbors didn't notice anything unusual about the CANNIBAL CORPSE guitarist in the days leading up to his arrest Monday on charges of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault. Deputies say he burglarized a house and charged at a deputy with a knife.

He seemed "just like a regular neighbor," one person who lives on O'Brien's street told 10 News WTSP (see video below). "Get out of the car, go right into the house. That's about it."

Less than half a mile from where he was arrested, a fire broke out at O'Brien's home, sending flames billowing into the night sky from the roof. The exact cause of the blaze is unknown, but ammunition and "military-style flamethrowers" reportedly exploded inside the home during the fire.

"[It was] very scary," another neighbor told ABC Action News. "I was thinking 'my house, it's going to go if [the firefighters] don't hurry up and get here,' but they saved our house and we don't have any damage or anything."


"Everybody kind of stays to themselves," the first neighbor said. "Nobody really bothers anybody. Most of the people abide by [the proverb] 'good fences make good neighbors.' I mean, it's just crazy something like that happened so close to home."

According to the Hillsborough County arrest log, O'Brien was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail on Monday night after he entered a house near the Northdale Golf and Country just before 7:00 p.m. and ignored orders from the two people inside the home to leave. O'Brien didn't know anyone at the house and didn't have permission to be there, an arrest report states. A sheriff's office supervisor says O'Brien shoved a woman to the ground and then went into the backyard.

Deputies responding to the burglary found O'Brien hiding behind a fence near the house. They say O'Brien "ran towards" one of the deputies "with a knife in his right hand." Deputies then shot O'Brien with a Taser and arrested him.

The owner of the home where O'Brien was arrested wouldn't go on camera but told ABC Action News he thought the guitarist was hallucinating when he spoke to him about the "rapture" and claimed, "someone was after him." The homeowner added O'Brien seemed scared and at one point even hid in his closet.

At a first appearance hearing Tuesday morning, a Hillsborough County judge told the 53-year-old musician, clad in an anti-suicide vest with his hands and ankles chained together, that he must first pass a drug test before he will be allowed to post $50,000 bail and leave jail.

CANNIBAL CORPSE announced Monday that it would be part of the next North American leg of SLAYER's farewell tour.

I guess he won't be going on that Slayer farewell tour with the rest of Cannibal Corpse. Neighbors thought he was hallucinating. So this is likely drug related. Maybe there was an accident with the flamethrowers since he was high. And he saw the end of the world and broke into a neighbor's home to scream about the rapture. He threw the neighbor lady to the ground. This isn't going to look good. His home looks like literal toast now too.

He caused a huge inconvenience because the ATF and the bomb squad had to be called in to search homes. Many people couldn't return to their homes until they were finished.

Just a Florida man getting high and messing with flamethrowers. Then suddenly it's the Rapture. Typical day in Florida. Nothing to see here folks. Move alone.

What an amazing story. Got a solid chuckle out of me, especially the flamethrower part.

Leave it to Cannibal Corpse to set a high bar for metal yet again

Fucking metal. Cannibal Corpse fucking rules.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

If you're going to start a house fire, doing it with a flamethrower and screaming about the rapture is a pretty damn impressive way to go about it, I'll give him that. Beats a Keurig, anyway.

I think I love Cannibal Corpse even more now.

I don't know if anyone here actually listens to Cannibal Corpse but almost all the band members minus Chris Barnes didn't age really well. This is what George Fisher, the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse looks like this year.

No big loss, their live performances have taken a hit in past years. A couple years back Fisher was trying to tell terrible jokes during their set. It was awkward. They should've just brought out the flame throwers instead and screamed incoherently.

Wouldn't that be a genre shift into Black Metal?

Only if their incoherent screaming is about Satan's ass crack.

Remember: Death Metal is what happens when Florida Man starts a band.

This is less of a joke than you might think. The major movers and shakers in Death Metal came directly from Florida, not the least of who was Chuck Schuldiner himself and his legendary band Death. And if they didn't come from Florida, they moved there which was the case with both Cannibal Corpse, Angelcorpse and Malevolent Creation. Keep in mind other states and countries contributed to its evolution, but Florida was arguably the most influential.

Other major Florida Death Metal bands: Morbid Angel, Obituary, Nocturnus, Deicide, Brutality, Hellwitch, Massacre, Monstrosity, Solstice

Oh, I know. Tampa was pretty much THE place for the growth of death metal in the US. Hence the joke.

Ah, wasn't aware.

Funny thing is most of my favorite Death Metal bands came from outside of Florida. No disrespect to the big players because I like most of them, but somehow, those other bands managed to release far more enduring music. "Mental Funeral" by Autopsy will always be the pinnacle of the genre for me. Nothing else comes close.

[Midlife Sperglord]

The one thing I do not get about Cannibal Corpse is that they put a lot of effort into writing hilarious lyrics, and then they sing those lyrics in a way that nobody can understand what they are saying.

Military-style flamethrowers found in home of Cannibal Corpse guitarist, who apparently warned of the rapture

The details surrounding the arrest of Pat O'Brien keep getting more and more extraordinary.




More extraordinary details continue to pour in regarding the arrest of Cannibal Corpse guitarist Pat O’Brien on assault and burglary charges. The latest reports indicate that the death-metal musician had military-style flamethrowers inside his home, and was rambling about the rapture on the night of his alleged crime.
A quick recap: O’Brien was arrested on Monday night for allegedly breaking into a neighbor’s house and shoving a female occupant to the floor, all while his own Northdale, Florida, home caught fire, with explosive ammunition inside. Deputies found him behind a fence, where he reportedly charged at the officers with a knife, only to be subdued by a taser. He appeared in court yesterday wearing an anti-suicide vest and shackles, and was ordered held on $50,000 bond pending a drug test.
As if that all wasn’t strange enough, a news report from ABC affiliate WFTS in Tampa Bay reveals that “military-style flamethrowers” were found inside O’Brien’s home. Moreover, it was reported that surrounding houses were evacuated Tuesday as a precaution when deputies found an unspecified item of concern in O’Brien’s house.
