Frankly Florence Forster Jenkins has brought endless hours o slightly drunken joy to my life. Then there are days that just need Destroy all Music by the flying Luttenbachers, which might err on the side of development sometimes.

Sometimes it is possible to teach someone a good idea by presenting them with a bad one, in this case for you it was roughly 100 consecutive fridays of Friday.
That 80/20 thing you said at the end hit me hard. I’ve been down on myself but hearing that made me realize I have to just keep going and stop letting negative feelings stop me from creating. I had never heard that before. Thanks shred
He absolutely hit the nail on the head. Metric tons of commercial or relatively unknown (outside of a niche group) artists may (and almost undoubtedly have) struggle(d) to churn out a hit single, let alone have famous EPs and/or albums. From what I've noticed, albums, by and large, are becoming a dead format in the world of music production. So, instead of creating songs tied to a list of adjacent themes, like with albums, you can instead release singles or EPs and not be as bound by yourself or fans to maintain musical consistency or your "sound." That is a tremendous silver lining!
@@averydoesstuff Is album becoming a dead format? Yeah for top 40 charts that rely baiting people only with music factory produced singles maybe. But if you want to make music for a music enthusiast crowd, good luck getting rid of the album and staying relevant. Well I guess there's a career in being a TikTok Musician too.

The Shaggs are very interesting to me in that they had actually never heard music to any extant. They were basically given cheap instruments by their father and told to go become pop stars. So it's sort of like listening to aliens who had were dropped off on earth, given instruments and learn how to play without absolutely no instruction or exposure to music.
The Shaggs actually have a really interesting backstory. From Wikpedia: The conceptual beginning of the Shaggs came from Austin Wiggin's mother who, when her son was young, had predicted during a palmreading that he would marry a strawberry blonde woman, that he would have two daughters after she had died, and that his daughters would form a popular music group. The first two predictions proved accurate, so Austin set about making the third come true as well.[8] Austin withdrew his daughters from school, bought them instruments, and arranged for them to receive music and vocal lessons. The Wiggin sisters themselves never planned to become a music group, but as Dot later said, "[Austin] was something of a disciplinarian. He was stubborn and he could be temperamental. He directed. We obeyed. Or did our best."[9] Austin named the Shaggs after the popular shag hairstyle and as a reference to shaggy dogs.[9] In 1968, Austin arranged for the girls to play a regular Saturday night gig at the Fremont, New Hampshire, Town Hall.
@@adr.marius5636 the big rock bands write their own stuff. I saw a video that showed how tons of big pop or rap songs use some of the exact same beats. Listen to sweet child o’mine, then listen to learn to fly. Then, listen to “WAP” and then any other of carbi d’s songs.
I heard about the Shaggs by accident on UA-cam at some point last year, I think. Their dad made them play instruments (apparently, not well) and insisted on them getting a record deal, even when the record labels said the girls weren't ready to record. And the result is that monstrosity earworm that ensued.

Right there with you. His terminology choices are easy to understand, follow, and remember, not to mention humorous. It’s the perfect combination of taking the serious stuff seriously, and nothing else, including himself. He really does have a gift of conveying information.
If a guy at the campfire thinks he can impress chicks by putting them asleep with Wonderwall hit them with "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears; that'll wake them right up and they'll start woo-ing. Then finish the performance by smashing the guitar in the campfire and admits the torrent of glowing cinders you shout: SLAYEEEER!!! Followed by an awkward silence while everyone is staring at you with horrified expression. IF then one of the chicks replies with SLAYEEER!!! then you know she is your true Wonderwall. The mating ritual is completed.
I remember the first time , in a store, years after its release, that I heard Justin Beiber's 'Baby' or whatever it's called, and thinking: 'This can't be real, THIS is the big hit?! THIS made him a star?!' "Excuse me miss, what aisle are your ear plugs in?"
love your work , learned more about music in fifteen minutes with you than my entire life time. I honestly used to listen and like what was pleasing to my ear and now have a far deeper interpretation and appreciation starting listen to such a larger back catalogue of music from many era's and styles all over again ,thankyou.
That's a sub from me bro, I love how you dissect music using both humour and actual theory, plus the way you explain theory is way more comprehensible than most people I've met.
The shaggers are actually fucking geniuses The song is called the philosophy of the world and it’s all over the place and sounds like shit. Kinda like the world when you think about it, the shaggs are geniuses once we go deeper, shred. Maybe, idk I’m in A fever state right now and everythings a little wacky
The shaggs were forced to make an album by their abusive father who wanted to profit off of them being pop stars Just sounds like shit bc they werent ready for the studio Still a massively important record in history
Shred! What's good brother? I was thumbing through UA-cam and came across one of your favs, the shaggs doing their unforgettable song call "my pal foot foot". Wow! Is all I can say!
Thanks for introducing me to The Shaggs. After digging a little deeper, I came to the conculsion that a) they knew exactly what they where doing b) they sound exactly the way they want to sound (well, maybe, if they could go back, they'd tune their guitars before recording it) and c) Dot Wiggins actually knows how to read and write sheet music, and she had written out all of the songs. And with that, they are in line with more well-known musicians like Frank Zappa (who called The Shaggs "better than The Beatles"), Captain Beefheart and other musicians with a less music theory driven (or "the harmonic style of 18th centry european musicians" driven, to quote Adam Neely) approach to music. If I had a cat, I would name her "Foot Foot".
In all seriousness, though it's severely under-developed, their music is similar to that of the modern indie and especially anti-folk genres. I would have really liked to see what they could have done with more practice. Like, the ideas are fully there, they just weren't able to get the ideas out as cohesively as they wanted. I like to think that, although they did technically become big, they would have been much, much bigger if their dad hadn't pushed them into recording so soon.
for a long time, I thought I was reaching the intellectual peak listening to Pink Floyd and Rush lyrics...... then one of my friends introduced me to "Friday" by R. Black and it put my understanding of the universe on a completely different mental and spiritual level
Think about it this way: out of the billions and billions of songs that have been created since the beginning of time maybe even trillions you've only listened to maybe one one millionth of a percentage of all music. Thinking about it in these terms 99.999% of music you will probably hate.
Surprisingly. I spend most ost of my time listening to Medieval, Baroque/Classical, neoclassical metal, and anything epic, yet I find "Dirty Window" to be a pretty fun song. It's like those days where your jamming in the garage for a while and you just want to wind down, lighten the mood and cruise along to the jam. There are actually some pretty awesome moments on St. Anger, and "Unnamed Feeling" is a legitimate gem. especially when you hear some of the remixes.
Well, it doesn't help that both "Friday' and "Chinese Food" were "written" and "produced" by the same fucking person: Patrice Wilson. These aren't "songs"; they're crimes against humanity.
California Girls was on rotation when I was working at a forklift pallet factory. I wanted to lay on the conveyor and let the bandsaw do what it does every time it came on.
PLEASE tell me you're doing a Lulu retrospective for this November's TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!?? When I heard the "Kinski" line in a record store with my bud I legit nearly collapsed into the CD displays in laughter. I COULD NOT BELIEVE that line opened the album.
Given that Rebecca Black was just a kid, and it's been a decade... I think she is still making music - it'd be cool to see the shred mix done with her for the anniversary. I mean... it is catchy.
That's the thing - Friday (and a bunch of other cringeworthy songs sung by children like "I love chinese food" etc) were written by a shitty company that tricked parents that they could fulfill their kids' pop star dreams. The company got all the money and the kids got all the online hate, essentially. So the rebecca black songs coming out now is stuff she's actually been part of making as an adult, while friday was part of a whole bunch of conveyor belt nonsense from that company where this particular one just happened to go viral
Rebecca Black and Alison Gold were part of a group that allowed people to sing for $4,000. Literally this was the ultimate no-budget singing. A few months later there was a woman called Jenna Rose who was 12 and made an unrealistically sexualized video feat. 12 and 13 year old girls called "O.M.G." and I almost felt like I was on a watch list when I saw it. I literally was creeped out by it.
The I-vi-IV-V chord sequence is called the "1950s Progression" because so much pop music from the '50s and early '60s was written used that progression. Actually it's much, much older than that; many classical composers included it (especially Mozart, and sometimes Beethoven) and English folk-songs from the 1500s often use the same chord sequence
Informative and humorous. Nice job criticizing the song, and not the artist. And I like your professional attitude to make the songs sound better rather than dismiss them completely.
JFC! 17secs in SUBBED! That song is the bane of my existence, the dictionary definition of "droning on" and you wasted NO time calling it out. Bless you.
@@suburbanindie cage's song shows us music is not only sound, Performing music is like a religious ceremony, sound is just a part of it. So it can even be ignored. So John Cage's piece is not absurd When it is performed for the first time in a concert, the audience is in a state of expectation and confusion. It's art.
Shred you nailed it. I feel the worst songs are the songs that could be good if they just had some musical correctness and timing issues fixed. You know the songs your ear wants to listen to but your soul flat rejects them completely like a bad liver transplant
I was listening to some of the lesser known songs from Van Halen last night, and I was blown away by just how annoying David Lee Roth's vocals can often be. Sometimes he sounds good, but then there's the other 90% of the time when he's yelling wwwooooohhh. I liked Van Halen most in the 80s, before the internet, where you learn how much of a douchebag he is.
@@migael581 St Anger tracks are okay in small doses, but I remember listening to the album start to end being really tedious. Looking at the track timer and wondering when the next song is going to start for every song (when they're not even halfway through) is not a good sign.
@@basketrecords6378, you were never one of us. You were nothing but a loser. A false metal gear. My eyes have have been opened. Let me help you to see, Basket Records.
Thanks for the pep talk at the end. I’ve been struggling to make a new song but I have put aside stuff like doom scrolling and video games to take time everyday to play guitar. Even if it is just a cover. But in the process I have made many riffs. Some not being good (very discouraging after spending so much time playing). But some came out good and it’s those good ones that keep me going. 80/20 baby

Both you and Pat Finnerty are using music theory to accurately explain why something sucks. Much appreciated.
This video is a gem, glad I found this channel
Dirty window’s my favorite off of St. Anger :(
Always loved the main riff and the recessive rhyming. The “I.... I....” part is a bit much tho
This got my sub. Good stuff! The most amazing thing is that people got paid for these songs 😎
Okay, just my soul? Great brother You are freaking me out!!! Very entertaining stuff you do.
Informative and humorous. Nice job criticizing the song, and not the artist. And I like your professional attitude to make the songs sound better rather than dismiss them completely.
"Also, I just wanna grab that guitars G string and tune it"....I laughed in tears und subscribed
Sell your soul to Master Shred!
Hard to say... But beautiful job as always Master!!!
JFC! 17secs in SUBBED! That song is the bane of my existence, the dictionary definition of "droning on" and you wasted NO time calling it out. Bless you.
I stepped in a Panda Express once. Panda was not even on the menu. Imagine going to Burger King and they don't have burgers.
The worst song ever is Gods Plan. Fight me
I will indeed fight thee.
God’s Plan is just cringe, but it’s not the worst song
I'll just fight you for no good reason.
"She say do you love me, I tell her only partly" man even just the lyrics make me cringe in body and soul
5:02 "its a complete disaster, check it out"
*plays a hyundai add*
This is the perfect youtube channel because of its retro tube qualities
when I looked up 'beating a dead horse' in a dictionary it gave me a link to this video
I don't know why I literally burst in laughter every single time you make that "evil laugh" out of nowhere XDDD
Bro went through more torture to make this than Anna in Martyrs.
1:33 “this piece of sonic misery” lmfao
A song is only good if it sounds good. Nothing more. If you like to listen to it, then it's good in your ears.
The Shaggs aren't music. The Shaggs are pure art. In addition, 4'33 is a minimalist masterpiece.
4'33" is The Emperor Has No Clothes of Music... if you "get it", then you deserve ridicule. You huffed your own farts for four minutes.
@@suburbanindie cage's song shows us music is not only sound, Performing music is like a religious ceremony, sound is just a part of it. So it can even be ignored. So John Cage's piece is not absurd When it is performed for the first time in a concert, the audience is in a state of expectation and confusion. It's art.
@@nmnmnm9509 No it's shit
Shred you nailed it. I feel the worst songs are the songs that could be good if they just had some musical correctness and timing issues fixed. You know the songs your ear wants to listen to but your soul flat rejects them completely like a bad liver transplant
0:41 that applies to James Hetfield in concert as well
James Hetfield is the only one that can get away with saying “yeah” all the time
Layne Stanley did alright for awhile
I was listening to some of the lesser known songs from Van Halen last night, and I was blown away by just how annoying David Lee Roth's vocals can often be. Sometimes he sounds good, but then there's the other 90% of the time when he's yelling wwwooooohhh. I liked Van Halen most in the 80s, before the internet, where you learn how much of a douchebag he is.
I truly miss the James Hetfield Soundboard page. It was simply the best thing ever.
I have a lot of questionable albums in my collection, mostly as joke material. I listened to St. Anger once and gave it away.
St. Anger is a great album and this is a hill I'm willing to die on
@@basketrecords6378 yeah its good, but not great.
@@migael581 St Anger tracks are okay in small doses, but I remember listening to the album start to end being really tedious. Looking at the track timer and wondering when the next song is going to start for every song (when they're not even halfway through) is not a good sign.
@@basketrecords6378, you were never one of us. You were nothing but a loser. A false metal gear. My eyes have have been opened. Let me help you to see, Basket Records.
It's god-awful
Thanks for the pep talk at the end. I’ve been struggling to make a new song but I have put aside stuff like doom scrolling and video games to take time everyday to play guitar. Even if it is just a cover. But in the process I have made many riffs. Some not being good (very discouraging after spending so much time playing). But some came out good and it’s those good ones that keep me going. 80/20 baby
I'm not entirely sure you realise what gifted teacher you are sir!maximum respect!
I just came across your channel by sheer accident. Best fucking thing ever!
You have cracked me up several times because, let's face it.
Truth be told!
And? you have earned a subscription from yours truly.
\,,/
Sir You just won yourself a faithful Patreon supporter 👍🏼...
That Shang Tsung laugh earned my subscription 🍻
Great channel! Glad I found it tonight
Worst song ever: "Don't Take The Girl" by Tim McGraw
Hearing it, or even a portion of it, makes me want to jam sharpened pencils into my ears while drinking bleach and drive my car onto a railroad crossing and wait for the next freight train loaded with toxic chemicals and nuclear waste to come along.
