Mark "Barney" Greenway (born 13 July 1969 in Great Barr, Birmingham) is an English extreme metal singer, who has been a member of Napalm Death,[1] Extreme Noise Terror,[2] and Benediction.[3]
Greenway has stated his nickname "Barney" came from a time when he used to drink alcohol. He stated he would get so drunk that when he went anywhere, he would bump into everything. From this behaviour, he would be called "Rubble", which changed to "Barney Rubble" and then just "Barney".[4]
Personality
Greenway is a progressive metal fan. He joined Dream Theater on stage at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and performed vocals on Metallica's "Damage, Inc." live.[5] He has reviewed progressive metal bands and albums for the British rock magazine Kerrang! though he no longer does so.[6]
Greenway is a supporter of Aston Villa F.C..[7] He is a supporter of PETA and has been a vegetarian since he was 14.[8] Barney is recognisable for his strong Birmingham accent which has never waned and which he proudly maintains, and for his distinctive gruff vocal style that many feel has become synonymous with Napalm Death.
