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, his friend Stick (drummer of Doom) would call him "Rubble", which changed to "Barney Rubble" and then just "Barney".
According to Graham Hartmann of Loudwire, "Greenway's primordial swamp-thing barking is one of extreme metal's most distinct and imposing voices".
