      It kinda weird the way he calls them bad or “ not great “ to be nice 😂 not because of the opinion itself , but because he says it like it’s a 100% fact and laughs if you like them 😂 but thinks Katie Perry’s better 😂 I look like a salty metallica fan I gotta stop 😭 it’s kind of how I feel about REAL punk and classic hardcore but it’s something he loves and is a huge part of his identity . So it just shows the way we’re all different . It’s pretty cool honestly . Something each of us love so much can be looked at in the completely opposite lite by the other person. Can’t believe I just typed this on a finn video but shows how much I love my music 😂

    The problem with us metal fans is the giant chip on our shoulders because our favourite bands don't get the mainstream recognitionition we think they deserve.

      Context. For it's time it was real heavy. And if you distort the guitars and drop the tuning the stuff on Killers in particular is pretty heavy. Now you really want contrast? Molly Hatchet. Album cover is a viking going to pillage and kill and the music is literally a more bland Lynyrd Skynyrd. Same with Meatloaf.

    I found a book called "Louder than Hell" that drove me down the heavy metal road. About 666 pages (I kid you not) of oral history from the late 1960's to the mid 2010's.
    For a guy who grew up on '60's pop to '80's pop to 2000's college and indie rock, I loved the book. It gave a view of the other side of the music I didn't grow up with, but came to respect most of the artists who created it.

    10:54 as someone that knew Riley personally (RIP), I show my bias as singing praises of Power Trip and the Nightmare Logic album. It's a great mix of metal that had a lot of appeal across subgenres of metal. I can kinda agree it's a predictable pick for good metal to get into.

    Hey Finn, I've been a long time subscriber back when you first started uploading this type of content. I love when you take the piss out of metal heads and a lot of your critiques on the genre - and that's coming from a metalhead. However, it seems with the past few months it seems your views are less critical on aspects and more disdain for the music, genre and the fans all together. Yeah, I get it you're just joking around, some of it even pretty funny. But that only takes you so far. It feels more like these are just your feelings, and that's cool. My question is though, is why do you continue to do this content then? Like you said, your values, worldview, and tastes have changed quite a bit. I almost get the feeling you wouldn't listen to this music at all if it wasn't for your channel. And idc what your like or dislikes about music are, I'm not offended or whatever. It just seems to me you'd be happier doing content you're more passionate about. Anyway, have a good one, man.

    I listen to lots of different kinds of music, but my heart belongs to metal. Always has, and probably always will. My brother pretty much only listens to underground hip hop, which I have a really hard time listening to for more than a couple songs. So, I suppose, if I can have such a hard time with underground hip hop, I can understand someone having the same issue with metal.

    Honestly I think you can be interested in something heavier and move on to something less heavier.
    I recently discovered bands from Amputated and Guttural Slug which I really enjoyed and I am currently immersing myself in the discography of Black Sabbath (I only knew Paranoid and Iron Man until now). I just think it depend on what you like in general: heavy, ''soft'' or both.
    For example The Great Southern Trendkill is my favorite Pantera album because you have both of this type of intensity (Floods & Suicide Note part 1 and then Suicide Note part 2, War Nerve, eponym song...)

    I went to a 'metal bar' by mistake once, around 2003. The footwear of choice seemed to be Doc Martens. Only had a couple of drinks before leaving, but was aware of the unrelenting staring from my fellow patrons. It was not dissimilar to when I went to China around 2009, or accidentally going to a gay bar around the same time.

I've been into black metal for well over 15 years and I was hoping for fresh take on a genre that had became stale and boring. I personally couldn't care less about the 'hipster' image...if anything, the corpse paint, tight leather pants and homemade weapons were the things I always cringed at and wish didn't exist.

    Im a core guy, mostly, and yet I have huge amounts of respect and appreciation for Iron Maiden.
    They have consistently worked out quiet good albums, with great live performances, mostly down to earth, nice boomer-rocker attitude...
    Obviously the nostalgia glasses are pink.
    I very much doubt I would listen to Iron Maiden and get excited with my first "metal exposure" being stuff like Shadow of Intent, and the sumerian records core in general, wich I adore (specially the 2005/2015 era). Haha.
    BUT they are quiet good nonetheless. A product of another era, for sure, but being "antiboomer musical energy" myself, I really do defend Iron Maiden as a solid band, being really influencial, and most importantly, staying mostly consistent in terms of quality, while doing some experimentation over the years.
    I like em.
