I love your work Finn but I don't understand why of all Sponsors, you go with a Gambling service. I understand you need to keep the lights on but after lecturing about Not wasting your 20s and 30's Partying but then making money promoting a Service just as predatory, addictive, and life destroying as any Drug or Alcohol problem seems very hypocritical
I would stop with the background video…it’s distracting…I’d rather look at your logo or somethibg
Just because it was "a different time" that doesn't make it right or that it was totally fine back then...
You should have the same energy for those creepy rock band songs as you do for asking Alexandria
To be fair, Dude looks like a Lady has a funny reason behind the song. Apparently Steven Tyler mistook Vince Neil for a blonde woman once, and the rest of the band made fun of him. The song is about that, and kinda self-aware that 80's hair bands have dudes that look like ladies.
Yeah. I never once thought the song had an anti-trans message. If you know the 80s, you know that there were plenty of straight sis men walking around dressed like women lol
@@luke5100 lol, truth. The 80s was a silly decade in many ways. :)
It was also an insult thrown at him all the time, so I'm pretty sure it was just him taking the piss out of it
It was also cowritten by gay dude Desmond Child.
@@luke5100what is a straight sis men?
I went to one of Papa Roach's recent concerts and they had a short segment dedicated to talking about suicide prevention and Jacoby giving a short speech in tribute to Chester Bennington. Needless to say, Papa Roach clearly care a lot about the subject, and looking at their other songs, their intentions definitely lean closer to earnest emotions than glorification of their subject matter (one of their songs off the same album as Last Resort is literally called Broken Home). With how common and widely-discussed depression has become in the past decade or so, I think most people even today can understand where Last Resort is coming from (this is the same generation that grew up with emo rap, after all).
Yeah, same. Jacoby didn't mention Chester by name at my show, but he did have a prerecorded speech talking about mental health and suicide awareness.
I met Jacoby once briefly in Downtown Chicago. Very nice guy
This is amazing to hear, I'm definitely not surprised but it does make me happy.
To me it was always kind of obvious that he cared deeply about the subject cuz I remember a long time ago watching something that he was on and he was talking about how the song came to be, and from what I remember, he wrote the song because one of his best friends was going through a really fucked up time and was unfortunately suicidal at the time, so it was basically a first person view of his friends experience?
That beatles song was the most calmest, upbeat, threatening song I've ever heard
Gives me vibes like Get Scared Sarcasm or Hollywood Undead Bullet
It’s honestly kinda catchy
15 years ago I was confronted by the principal of my high school for a "get on your knees" shirt. I told him they were a Christian band and it was a reference to prayer. Immediately off the hook. Am I going to hell?
You are if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent
pics or it didn't happen
Hell is made up, so you’re good 👍
Well, you just made a confession, at least. LOL
Thats fucking awesome bro lmao I remember those shirts too.

Dire Straits = Adopted dad rock
Aerosmith = Creepy uncle rock
Dont do Aerosmith like that!
@@Reverendshot777Aerosmith before the late 80s is a completely different band in my opinion
I actually feel like, at least in the mainstream, "Last Resort" definitely helped open the discussion of self-h*rm and unaliving. I think it's aged pretty well.
Same but I think their point in the article is that many people are going to claimed to be triggered by things like this. Seen it in comments sections myself before, not many times though so the writer is probably making a huge thing outta nothing.
Hey!! UNALIVE! This is UA-cam. Come on..
Are you not allowed to say “harm” on youtube?
@@ChipmunkAsylum can never be too c*reful..
Unaliving 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't understand the "dated" references meaning a song doesn't age well.
Many artists write about the world they live in.
There was a lot of music from the 60s that still sounds spectacular AND talks about what is happening then.
Man, what even are blue suede shoes?
For the record I worked in a gay bar for a couple years and on drag nights "dude looks like a lady" was by far the most popular song among the guests. They loved it. This was only 10 years ago.
Well to be fair it should of been the most popular song cuz it was literally a bar full of dudes who looked like ladies the song works perfectly.
The background behind "Dude Looks Like A Lady" is that the Aerosmith band members were hanging out with Motley Crue, and someone mistook Vince Neil for a woman from behind.
Seventeen is one of my all-time favorite guitar songs that I can't mention to non-guitar and 80s hair metal people. To be fair, today they sing the lyrics in jest as "she's only 35". They've become self-aware.
looooool no idea they changed the lyrics, but Reb Beach is a BEAST. And actually, Kip Winger is a hell of a composer even if his lyrics on the first two albums were cringe. "Pull" was a great album.
It's one of those guilty pleasures for sure. I can't get over the lyrics but god the song rocks hard. Would I play it in a car? No. Not in front of anyone, but I'll still listen to it and try to ignore the lyrics because the guitar work is so good.
Why are the lyrics even bad . In 95% of the world 17 is Americas 18.
They just changed it so they wouldn't be exposed. They're still creeps.... that's nothing someone can "change" from
Winger rocked back then and still rock now…eff em all.
Growing up in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood, I heard the n word casually thrown around by both blacks and Hispanics all of the time. The few whites and Asians that were around usually refrained from saying it but it would come out during casual conversations at times and nobody would flinch. With Chino being half Hispanic and claiming to have grown up in the rough side of Sacramento, I can only assume that he probably heard kids using the word casually everyday and probably used it himself
I was a teenager in the 90s and I can tell you, it was totally common for white kids who were into rap to say that word casually. I never did, but it was definitely thrown around pretty loosely. Unfortunately, our understanding of social issues like this just weren’t as evolved back then. It wasn’t being said maliciously of course, but obviously today it would still be very inappropriate, as it should be
To this day Latinos say it constantly around their Black friends and colleagues, depending on what sphere we’re talking about. But Finn being THIS white he probably didn’t know 😂
Back when he/they wrote the song people understood 1) context and 2) that n-a and n-er are to vastly different words and didn't conflate the two. And as a third point, people were far less brain damaged back then.
Context is important and people on social media are dumb. If a song is pointing out that saying the "F word" is bad, it's a good song. If a song wants to help people not end themselves, it's a good song.
They're not tho
It doesn't even mean the same thing in their country...
The 3 letter F word or the 4 letter F word?
Last Resort aged perfectly. We are A LOT more death positive nowadays!
When that song came out we tried to sneak it into any school party playlist and the teachers didn't get all flaky because they cursed.
Just look how damn well Falling in Reverse's reimagined version went down just the other day!
Agreed 100%. It shed light on a very important topic and Ronnie nailed the cover version. One of the greatest covers I’ve ever heard
I think the Dire Straits lyrics are fine. Especially since we know they were quoting what someone said about them. It's a triumphant song and definitely more benign than anything else on the list.
Well, the band themselves obviously recognized how controversial the song was because they released an edited version not too long after that, which is the one you typically hear today on radio. Think of if it was the N-word. Would the whole, “he was just quoting somebody else” defense make it any better? Not really
This "aged well/poorly" stuff is total BS; the lyrics are either well-written or poorly written. The only thing in art that ages poorly is technology.
Kids swear much more today too.
@@michaeljohnston4459 that’s probably somewhat true, though I imagine kids have been swearing a lot for many years. It’s just that it was less acceptable for that to be portrayed in popular media like movie and TVs. We tend to get this kind of idealistic, whitewashed perspective of the old days because there was a bigger gap between reality and what was portrayed on screen
@@luke5100 the N word is in plenty of songs and it's fine. It's not always OK but I am not mad at the many legitimate artists who use it. It's all about context and intent.
I still dont care, as a certified crabcore stan I still consider first two Asking Alexandria albums to be the pinacle of music and i wont let anyone tell me otherwise..
Yep. I still listen to Stand Up and Scream plus Reckless and Relentless at least weekly. Journalists and content creators can seethe about the lyrics all they want lol
Still virgin?
From Death To Destiny was pretty good to
@@TonyTunes95. Moving On is the their best song. Red album was their peak tho.
@@psychocat_rocks Nice joke. Red album is mid at best.
In regards to Chino, it wasn't uncommon for some gen x Hispanics to throw around the n word around so nonchalantly. I know some who did but I think (or at least hope) a majority of them have since matured.
Chino still sings this song at shows and I constantly hear the crowd chanting for this song to be played. I think I now know why lol...not sure if he really still says it live though, he kinda just yell mumbles through most of it, especially that part.
weird article, not sure why a song from the 70s or the 90s referencing stuff from their era should "not age well"
To be fair to the Beatles, John Lennon took that line from an Elvis song (“Baby Let’s Play House”, written by Arthur Gunter).
It has been speculated whether it was inspired by Lennon’s own relationship with Cynthia Lennon, which was a somewhat sour and bitter marriage.
@@sandraperlstein79 that seems like a plausible explanation as to why he lifted that line. I definitely don’t condone John’s behavior toward Cynthia in any way, shape, or form. He was a terrible husband to her.
I think its funny when irony is lost on people.
Danny elfman doesn't really love little girls, hes making fun of wealthy business men he noticed dating young looking women.
The type that later turned out were hanging around the guy who didn't un alive himself. So how much irony is he actually using??
Ive been hammering that AA album recently and the amount of times ive laughed out loud at some of the lyrics surprised me, remembering being like 14 and hearing it is just such a funny image - the other conclusion i came to was that some of the songs on that album are legitimately unbelievably good.
The Beatles lyrics are actually a play off of how Elvis was perceived by members of the band. John Lennon said it in an article that this was the intention of the song; to call out how manipulative and abusive he was.
I wanna say I read an interview about the Aerosmith song a while back where they say that part of the idea of the song, "Dude looks like a lady," was the fact that they were making fun of themselves for how they look on stage and how people will say they look like ladies. I don't remember where I read this unfortunately so it very well could have been some blog post which I tend not to trust so there's that. lol
They could fix "Seventeen" with just one line. "She's only seventeen. In a state where the legal age of consent is sixteen." There, fixed and legal, lol.
That’s really awkward lyrically and also does not make it better at all
@@mayalansky Seriously? It’s a joke. Lighten up, haha.
@@travisspaulding2222 alright, alright fair enough
I’m a 25 year old female and I learned to scream to not the American average. IDGAF that song still goes hard! 😂
You should do a video about musicians who have provably hooked up with minors. Hell, it would likely turn into a whole series, and would certainly get some views.
It's not "hooked up" it's rpe.. but he should expose disgusting musicians
@@oliver123-uy2vv Yeah, it is. I’m just being careful what I say on his UA-cam channel.
That would be a movie series
@@AntoinettexKitten wdym
@@oliver123-uy2vvim gonna guess the person means that their is so much about each one that every episode would be the length of a movie but again I'm just guessing.
“Those are like, Nickelback lyrics.” 🤣🤣
Lol so good. You filter the world of music (& vids about it) to what’s important, hilarious, & amazing. Literally the opposite of reaction vid bottomfeeding, you spare people keeping up w/ music through less awesome avenues. #1 alt music source🖤
One classic that I cant help but jam out too even though I know full well it has insane lyrics is Last Caress by The MisFits 😅😬🤐💀💀
That’s part of its charm really lol
There's also Code Blue by T.S.O.L. I still rock out to it despite the song's subject matter.
I mean if we're going the punk route, there's also "13" by DOA, "Kill the Poor" by Dead Kennedys, etc. But typically that's what a lot of what punk lyrics were like back then. Using shock imagery and exaggerated humor to get a point across.
Those lyrics aged perfectly
I heard a feminist punk tell me that misfits attitude is a horrible misogynist song didn't age well but I don't see it
I had an I See Stars shirt that just said "she screams my name" in giant gold foil letters lmao
Also Korn's song with Fred Durst "All In The Family" did NOT age well at all 😂
You know you are a true fan when you intentionally don’t skip the Draftkings promo just to hook Finn up with better stats.
Always happy to support Uncle Finn!
You know you're a true fan when you skip the Draft kings promo to get to the content faster, like some kind of addict who needs a fix.
Also literally the second thing I did after getting home from work. Right after I sat down on the toilet.
@@hexywesky also fair haha!
Watching, skip 10, watching, don't like draft kings lol, skip ten ok here we go...
I skip it everytime, love Finn's work but hate him promoting gambling, very hypocritical of him
When Deftones played did their Spring tour 2022 7 Words was the last song and one of two encores they play every night. In all they played it 22 times. When they played in Minneapolis they had every members of Gojira onstage at the end of the songs, Joe Duplantier performed some vocals.
I always thought Dude Looks Like A Lady was a jab at his own self, or at other rockers like them, cuz rocknroll dudes were almost always lookin like ladies in that era with their Pantene pro V hair and designer makeup
Definitely. It was certainly playful and had nothing to do with trans people. Understanding that requires understanding the cultural context of the 80s Rock scene, of course. So, I could see why a casual listener today might misinterpret its meaning
Finn, your dry humor is so underrated 😂 I love it
Babe wake up, Uncle Finn just uploaded a new video
Finn knows whats up! 7words is one of my favorite deftones songs. Certified banger. Idc what anyone says.
Drug Dealer Friend is an anthem in my book. An anthem that a lot of dive bars are quite familiar with, thanks to yours truly 😎
King 🤴🤴🤴🤴 I remember being in college and spamming the jukebox at my local dive with Emmure and TAS songs with the boys.
Every scene bands lyrics from 2008-2016 😂
the scene as the whole hasn't really aged well in general. from the fashion (no one dress like that in their 30s) to is anyone up website (something couldn't come out in today) to underage relation.
Deft Ones? 😂😂😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one that heard that.
i saw deftones in 2022, 7 words was the last song on the set so yes they do still play it
Did you know there is a beach boys song called "never learn not to love" that was written by charles manson?
*did you also know charles manson has an album?*
Dude. You comment a lot about how drugs and alcohol ruined you and now you're shilling sports betting? Do what you want man, but we are going to see the detrimental impact of legalized sports betting very soon. I find it hilarious that where I live cigarettes are kept in opaque cases and they have zero packaging advertising, yet sports betting is being advertised everywhere.
Yes. It does give off the impression that he’ll just take any sponsor who’s willing to throw money at him, even those promoting activities that at least seemingly are completely against his personal values. Whatever I guess
@@luke5100 yeah, that's why I said "do what you want man" it's not like I don't have my vices and we're all capable of hypocrisy but something about this just doesn't sit right with me. The funny thing about sports betting is that I think loan sharks and leg breakers were actually an effective deterrent. Now a child can steal his moms credit card and bankrupt the family in between games of fortnite. And it's being pushed EVERYWHERE, constantly. But it will never stop because a few people at the top are getting obscenely rich. It seems like such a norm now I totally get your "whatever"
Not everyone finds the same things addictive. Just because you do doesn't mean that everyone else has to totally stop talking about whatever it is that you have a problem with. There are things that cause problems for me that wouldn't for other people and there are things that cause problems for others that have little to no effect on me. Just skip the ad if you have an issue.
@@DanielChannel89 I don't have an issue with gambling per se. I have an issue when it comes to some who talks a lot about addiction, growing healthy habits, etc, then takes money from a company promoting something that's been proven to be just as or more addictive than drugs. If you can't see a problem with that hypocrisy then I can't help you.
@@DanielChannel89 couple thoughts on this. First, gambling is designed to be addictive, and it can wreck families and ruin lives just as bad as alcohol or hard drugs. That’s a fact. Second, part of why people are pointing this out is because Finn specifically addresses addiction, has had personal experience with it both for himself and in his family, and seemingly understands the harms of it. If he didn’t make his stance on addiction such a part of his online presence, I don’t think people would be calling him out for promoting a gambling site. It just seems hypocritical is all. But yes, obviously not everybody who gambles gets addicted to it, just like I can have like a couple beers a month and not become an alcoholic
I always thought the Aerosmith song was an ironic self reference, like the other dad rock song, Money for Nothing. But did I read too much into it?
Yeah, because Cardi B's WAP and xxxtentacion glorifying the sewerslide is so wholesome and shows just how far we've evolved socially 🤣
Always enjoy your fresh take of the Emmure track 😂😂😂
The first part of that quote from the interview with John Lennon is straight from the song "its Getting Better" from sgt. Pepper. Which came out many years earlier in 1967. I think most people knew about the abusivness if they were paying attention to the lyrics. He says that he changed and grew up. Which is up to each person i guess to believe him or not lol...
True. That said, Finn is right that John did give an interview later on where he addressed his past violence. Honestly, I actually believe he genuinely felt remorse and that he had grown Since those experiences. That still doesn’t make his actions right, of course
@luke5100 Yes 100% agree man. Him being with Yoko was probably part of that, as well as their whole stint in india with all the spiritual stuff. (Even tho they ended up spreading misinformation about the Maharishi)
We can never know what was going on in his head but its important to look at the context and to look into how he was raised and in what environment. If he saw his father beat his mother, he may have grown up thinking that was okay. Along with it not being as taboo at the time.
@@mackend17fan1 definitely. The thing about being a famous person is, you’re just a flawed human being like everybody else. You’ve done a combination of good and bad things, some very bad things, in his case, but people hold you up like this pure and perfect deity, and naturally nobody is. While I’ve certainly never done anything along those lines, I’m sure I’ve said and done things when I was younger that would at least be embarrassing if unearthed now, but because I’m not famous, nobody gives a shit. Lol
@@luke5100 And not just the fame part. It's an age thing too combined with the fame. He was 22 when he married Cynthia. IDK about y'all but I am nowhere near the same person I was 13 years ago. I guess not everyone can grow emotionally but there's more evidence than not that John did. It doesn't excuse his behavior as a young adult, obviously but a lot of people are awful people through their 20's and finally grow up.
I am totally fine with all of these lyrics being considered crusty 😂
I agree about Papa Roach completely! At the time it was always a very raw lyric but no one was talking about why; that classic 90s/00s bury traumatic things all down.
It’s much easier to have a conversation about it 20 years later, which I’m so thankful for; especially when thinking about this generation. Better support is now there rather than just relatable lyrics.
Nirvana with come as you are “no I don’t have a gun”
Well you get the rest
I was in Highschool when Winger released Seventeen, so as a Freshman, I thought it was a song specifically written about all the hot girls in the Senior class. I keep it that way in my head cannon so I can still enjoy this hair metal banger w/o any guilt LOL. Reb Beach was a guitar god, and this was their best song
It's still VERY creepy and weird.... c'mon
Asking Alexandria merch is also catholic church instructional material . Stand up sit down, on your knees off your knees
I never even remembered hearing those 70/80's underage songs when I was a kid. Then someone said something about that "Don't Stand So Close to Me" song, & over the years I heard of more & more.
This is something that's been going on for me for about 2 years, just realizing the lyrics of songs I didn't quite listen to so closely.
Quickly becoming my favorite You Tube channel 😊
The ones who are Deft play “7 words” at pretty much every show…it’s typically their set closer. I honestly never even knew the words-I’m not really much of a fan of their early, nu metal-y material but now I want to see them again so I can listen more closely to that one.
He's pretty much always censored that part in the song since the mid 90s, I checked when like two people on TikTok were trying to "cancel" them for doing but yeah they've been censoring that part since the 90s
I just realized I wasn’t subscribed and been watching for ages 😤😤😤
Subscribed now ❤
I’m surprised “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen didn’t get a mention. That song would NEVER fly today.
Dennis Reynolds disagrees, states it's part of his erotic awakening and she did not look like Rick Moranis.
Finn's content is like when New York dads in the bar go "How bout them Yankees?", except Finn goes "How bout that Papa Roach?", and instead of talking about the latest sports game, he pulls up lyrics from songs that are at least 20 years old.
Yes
Michael Stipe is cool Moby in my brain. And regarding The Beatles, I’m not surprised they have a song about holding a girl captive. Their song “It’s Okay To Leave Your Dog In A Hot Car” told me everything I need to know about them.
Fun fact: When I was TEN YEARS OLD my dance studio group (of 8-12 y/o girls) did a competitive jazz routine to Dude Looks Like a Lady. In rainbow fur sports bras and hot pink mini skirts. Oh and knee high gore boot covers of the same fur the tops were made of. 😅
My local radio station doesn’t even bleep the word out in Money for Nothing. It’s kinda wild
What country is this?
It’s just a bundle of sticks
It’s all relative, there’s going to be endless unsavoury lyrics from today that we think are completely acceptable.
Piece of quesadilla in peace ☮️
dude lmao i could listen to your commentary all day, so effing funny
Papa Roach definitely was ahead of their time with shedding light on such a dark mental health issue. I feel like they helped start the conversation and helped the people that normally wouldn’t open up about it, feel like it was ok and you don’t have to be emo or goth to have s*icidal thoughts.
Finn, look at the lyrics to “getting better” by the Beatles. It’s like a direct quote from that interview.
As soon as i heard those lyrics I was like "John Lennon must've written that one" LOL
Sure enough i googled it and it said: "The lyrics are attributed to 'Lennon-McCartney but it was primarily written by John Lennon" and I'm like "Yeah no fuckin shit" 😂
Usually with Beatles songs whoever is singing is the primary songwriter, with the other just helping them polish it up.
If you're not very familiar with the Beatles that might not help you much, but it was indeed John singing that one.
people give Yoko Ono sh*t, but by all accounts John Lennon came out a better man after being with her
I fuxin love this channel bro.. oh man its so great😂😂😂 😂
My disappointment with Money for Nothing is that i cant ever find a Dire Straits song that sounds that heavy. Or a synth/guitar sound like that riff. Same thing with We're An American Band by Grand Funk Railroad. Somehow they made this one off heavy (for the time) rock banger, and went right back to their soft, oldies rock.
Loudwire has devolved into a group of Karens.
"Man Always Gets Little Rush Out Of Telling People John Lennon Beat Wife"
The Dire Staits song with that line, he was talking about himself and his band. They weren’t installing tvs or refrigerators lol😅
Loudwire is the CNN of metal
Finn is just threatened my Michael Stipe's bald head supremacy.
I can fully understand why somebody might think Stipe is smug or pretentious, but he’s a rare example of somebody who is just genuinely that artistic and weird. He honestly seems like one of the sweetest dudes in music
That "cringe face" expression in the thumbnail lol. Love it
Have you ever done a reading comments video? I feel like it could be a series. You have to have a lot of unhinged ones (not just the ones from me).
Finn, you've forgot to explain what a phone booth is to your younger audience. They'll demand a refund.
The Beatles started off their career with “well she was just 17 and you know what I mean” 😂 John Lennon was a Musical genius.. as was Paul and George.. Ringo was a good drummer.. but they were crazy fuckers too … Drugs and all that stuff kind of took their innocence and their “Nicely Dress and Groomed lads” image from them 😂
I know the younger generation hates us using the excuse “It was a different time”. But you had to be there to understand, it really was a different time and we viewed things differently back then. For one, we weren’t as easily offended by everything.
Chino mexican and asian right? As a black fan I never knew he said that, but if Eminem can get a pass Chino def can. Didn't he grow up poor in Cali...makes sense. I'm sure he was around it a decent amount. Its like B-real, delivery felt natural. 🤣
Yes, he did
I think what's worse than Winger is Metro Station's Seventeen Forever. It came out 20 years later with the same theme in the song
I've heard that allegedly Dude Looks Like A Lady was written about Vince Neil of Motley Crue.
I can't believe THAT's the Faith No More song they chose when they literally released that song "Edge Of The World"... Makes Winger and Anthony Kiedis look like saints
I'm from a town in the UK close to York, where Asking Alexandria come from. I promise you, no ones parents were there. It was in a small pub and most of the people there wore battle vests. Things have changed 😂
13:02 I thought you were gonna call a bicycle dated technology 😂😂😂😂
The people who wrote this list seem like they would put We Didn’t Start The Fire or American Pie on this list for making too dated references
You've got one of the best channels brother!!
When i saw asking alexandria back when i was around 16. They would hang all the bras thrown on stage on their mic stands. Took me a few years to realise that none of those bras came from anyone of age. Pretty fucking creepy
Finn, you’ve always given me Michael Stipe vibes.
RATM's entire catalog didn't age well, their whole discography should be the list
I swear those dudes are cringe now but the people in my dischord were so mad when I said that lol
This article feels more like a reflection on the writer's insecurities than anything else.
This is the best thumbnail I’ve seen in awhile
Stray Cats " Sexy and Seventeen" has some questionable lyrics
"Well she's sexy and seventeen
