One of the All Time Low Guys was accuse of sexual assaulting a kid. I don't know the outcome of that though.
Megadeth is a mid band that released an album so ungodly legendary (rust in peace) that it tricked millions into thinking they aren't mid
Finn "This one's probably gonna upset some people" Mckenty
I'm not upset, I just can't take him seriously as a human being anymore.
@@tireseashe's a marketing guy, everything's made up to sell
I mean it's kind of hard to take him serious too he comes out very trolling and sarcastic he's entertaining to me@@tireseas
Not upset, he made a profit out of talking shit about bands he knows are gonna upset people and that's how he gets most of his views. The dumbest thing is to take a obvious troll guy like this seriously but a lot of people fall for it.
Finn woke up and chose violence this morning I see.
As a Coheed fan I'm honored to finally get shit on in one of these tier list videos. I thought I was safe 😂
Yeah it took long enough. Shows how mid we are! :D
Love me some coheed but I would nvr argue against em being mid. Some mid bands are just good enough or fun.
I've resigned to being in the same boat: I like watching Finn videos; I expect some of my favorite bands to be shat on; and now I'm tickled when bands I like are at least shat on. Oh, and the one band he apparently loves but never does videos on, 311. A band we both love, but Finn won't talk about.
i love coheed too. not mid. pretty epic imo.
i honestly think this is a pretty reasonable opinion. they have a lot of songs with really long repetitive parts, but then there's like unheavenly creatures and a favor house atlantic that are just absolute bangers. claudio is also an insanely good vocalist. never read any of their lore but it seems pretty interesting
I used to be a Megadeth fan, but I stopped listening to them because I was getting tired of classic metal. Before I came back to them, I thought I wouldn't like them because they are more in line with classic speed metal than other bands, but I was wrong; their songs are legitimately great and beyond just the technical ability, they have surprising emotional depth.
For the longest time I only liked at most 3-4 for songs from them (including some from Super Collider, lmao). But then I got the Greatest Hits CD, started appreciating them more, actually listened to some of the full albums and Dystopia blew my mind. The sick the dying and the dead was a nice surprise too. Before I'd put Metallica way above but now I'd consider them equal
I used to know a tool fan. She's cool. I knew a five finger death punch fan that was cool. I hope he stopped smoking meth.
Not even lying I had a friend who loved ffdp too and he smoked hella k2 and did meth once he got more money I had to stop being around him
Lmao
@@brycev.5170nah brah, he had to stop being around you
Female Tool fans are usually pretty cool. Male tool fans are the worst
Danny Carey is really a cool dude. Just throwing that out there.
A sports guy too, so totally would put Tool a little higher on the tier (Rick Beato just interviewed him!).
@@clear_gray_sky539He really isn't, but he is very very very good.
Absolutely, there are videos of him joining random high school bands onstage to play Tool songs. He's reportedly one of the nicest guys in the industry.
Adam Jones is also great. His accolades outside of Tool include set design and sfx for Jurassic Park, and a bunch of Ghostbuster/Nightmare on Elm Street sequels
@@egrojz6221 That does sound awesome!
That’s exactly why Maynard comes off as such a dick. He’s just annoyed. By both the fans and the media asking the same low effort questions. You can tell a marked difference when he’s interacting with someone who doesn’t annoy him. He’s actually a pleasant guy when he’s not talking to a brick wall
god it must be so hard being rich and successful. i truly feel bad for him.
Finn is just out here declaring war on every fan base
Maybe the fans are already working on a similar video idea but ranking UA-camrs
I feel like Finn nowadays is more about trolling people with shit takes rather than saying anything of substance.
You gotta sacrifice quality when you post daily
Facts offspring, coheed, megadeth are all great even tool has legendary songs all are nowhere near mid lol
Seen Machine Head twice. Hell of a show on both occasions. Not my favourite band but done some great stuff.
listened to burn my eyes yesterday, great album
@@DigitalBath306 Agreed. Fantastically heavy.
bulldozer crushes....ALLLL
Too bad Rob got woke.
@@DigitalBath306 Agreed that album actually is really good. Unfortunately Rob just comes across as a cringe and that isn't a recent thing. I remember when the burning red came out and the whole interview was just him talking about dropping ecstasy.
I’m not even that big of a Tool fan but labeling a band that put out a song like Rosetta Stoned or Prison Sex “mid” is just begging to be called a contrarian. Love your videos, but that’s just too of a hot take to be taken seriously by anyone who even remotely likes music lol
He can't be taken seriously after this video.
Current Tool is pretty mid tho. They peaked creatively after Lateralus. They've been rehashing a lot of the same ideas since then.
@@jabronijosh3346I’d agree they peaked creatively with Lateralus but 10k Days and FI are definitely pretty different both thematically and sonically
Mid
They are pretty mid,they only have a few good songs
I think Foo Fighters is my ultimate mid band but with cool band members and cool fans
Very cool fans . Cleanest crowd surfing I've ever had was foo fighters in 2018 Dave is a hell of a frontman too
It’s controversial, but I agree
Foo Fighters are a consistently above average band. They’ve never made a bad album, but they’ve also never made a truly great one (Wasting Light was pretty close though).
Agreed. And I've seen them live. But they all seem like cool guys
They have a few really solid bangers that I would voluntarily listen to\add to my playlists but the bulk of their songs are mid. Agreed that they seem like really cool guys
I rubbed shoulders with Maynard years ago on my birthday sitting at a bar. Had no idea who he was and proceeded to get drunk and crack jokes with him and the guys from a perfect circle not knowing who they were the entire time. We must have exchanged info bc one of Maynard’s guys texted me the next day and added me to the VIP list lol 100% it’s the fans. Maynard was totally cool to me bc I didn’t care who he was
5FDP's first album was fresh and cool. Then they tried to recreate it 10 times, and it got boring fast.
I loved their first two albums. Their third was really good and then they fell off a cliff for me.
i can’t believe you think coheed is mid, i will revolt by continuing to watch your content and subscribing
He doesn't like the hard core fans. They can be assholes. He's explained this in past videos.
@@moej6014 haha i watch him all the time, i was just doing my best impression of these people
@@moej6014hard core fans of all bands can be like this, who cares...that was my point on my long and boring rebuttal of his video, which I thought was terrible.
Finn likes bad more than mid because its content gold 😂😂
I think he's also a firm believer in so bad it's good and bad being dumb fun
Can’t believe you think Coheed is mid, Finn. Thinking up something horrible to say about you now
Just write it up in an hour long concept album nobody will get
They're just Rush 2.0. Totally understand why he thinks they're mid.
Pffft they are the objective definition of MID. I don't even use that term, however it perfectly describes them. They were one of the acts for a 2009 concert I went to consisting of Coheed, Trivium, and Slipknot. The moment Trivium walked onstage FIRST, the horror that Coheed was playing second hit the arena. I literally saw people all over walking out and they didn't come back for almost 2 hours. The entire set was BOOOOORING
@DYLANBROCHILL bro you didn't have to destroy him like that lmfao
😂
Hey, did you guys hear Dave used to be in Metallica?
He mentioned it once
He wrote for metallica, i have a theory that metallica pretty much stole all there music the reason load is so different is because they ran out of ppl to steal from
I don't think HE mentions it everytime. Just every interviewer likes to re mind him in case he forgot
Wow was he really
Finn: People who think Mid things are great, bother me
Me: Finn, YOU bother me
Finn is mid
@@kidcoyoteanarchy and by that logic, that makes Finn great! "Vicious circle trolling for metal elitists" should be a new t-shirt design by Finn!
Finn has atrocious taste in music
Im glad the bands I like arent liked by normies like Finn.
Lmao
I'd include Blink-182 but Finn won't allow it 😮
They were way too mainstream to be considered mid
In what world is blink mid name me a better punk band...
I’m a coheed fan because I’m a sci-fi nerd engineer. I’m also a bassist who was 6’2 in 7th grade.
When tou say "hell yeah, brother" all I can think about is wrestling stuff 😂 maybe Hulk Hogan's theme song .
I legitimately asked myself if Hulk Hogan had a band! Haha!
@@larrydotson2625 He actually does play bass and had a band in his younger days.
@@scottdaniels8129he actually invented the 4 chord structure.
2:06 Tool
3:49 five finger death punch
5:36 machine head
7:00 the offspring
8:35 papa roach
9:53 coheed and cambria
12:24 megadeth
14:30 panic! At the disco
15:36 all time low
Why do so many people have a crippling fear of being a part of the majority when it comes to music??? So many of these Mid-bands are good artists, but because they’re popular people try to separate themselves from them any chance they get because they want to be seen as unique and cultured! Like what you like man. “Being Mid is worse than being bad” is a wild statement! 😂
Well put.
Because Coheed isnt Mid, its legendary status music and will one day be remembered as such. Panic at the Disco is mid, Blink182 is mid, most punk is most music artists and bands, do not stand the test of time by Coheed and Cambria has and stll is.
Tool mid? Come on Finn... Just getting attention on this...
They are anything but mid. This guy is trying to start a war!!
@@killer92173 for real.... 😂
My dad LOVES Machine Head. We’ve seen them live with Amon Amarth, I enjoyed both, but liked Amarth better, they have couple great songs, like Davidian, From This Day and recently Choke On The Ashes Of Your Hate.
My only isdue with them is that I prefer short songs and average Machine Head song is 6:00, that’s why I like aromentioned songs, they keep it short here.
The logo I think is great tho, the fact that Robb did it himself is cool too.
Megadeth probably could have conquered the world if Dave wasn't such an egomaniac and actually hired a real singer.
Yk he didn’t even want to do vocals originally but David Ellefson said he should do it because none of the singers they tried out could sing his lyrics very well
@@darthshitto2524 I've heard this before and never really bought it. The dude's vocals are atrocious and scream vanity project.
Just discovered your 2nd channel recently, and as I am sick at home I have plenty of time. Highly entertaining, thank you, Finn.
Do I know anyone who loves Machine Head? Well, in 2022 we got together with people from 16 countries (3 continents) for their show in Manchester England, so yes, I think I know some people who do.
And judging a musician as unlikable based on something he once said seems a bit over the top. Meet them, have a conversation and then judge whether they are cool or not. The guys from Machine Head are definitely happy enough to go to a bar after the show and hang out with their fans if the travel schedule for the tour allows it.
I think I was at that show. Finn's video is probably meant to be tongue in cheek. I love more than one of the bands he shit talked and I still laughed hard. Maybe I'm delusional 😅
Finn's doing the unimpressed GenX. Ya gotta go along with it.
@@pittrollmosh7572No, it's not
Machine head was my favorite band for years, seen them live many times. Robb killed the band for me because he just never stops running his mouth.
@@lifewithintergrity Robb says things that he believes need to be said, I respect that in him. If you don't, of course you are entitled to your own opinion
It is subjective so there is no wrong answer here. But I would personally rank Megadeth a lot higher. They haven't had the success of Metallica (and I tend to prefer Metallica's early thrash sound to Megadeth's) but they were doing very interesting things and made some truly great albums. I am not as familiar with their later catalogue but everything from Killing is my Business to Rust in Peace is great. I would put up Rust in Peace as the greatest metal album of all time. Peace Sells is a killer record. So Far So Good So What is rough in patches but has some amazing entries like Mary Jane. Looking Down the Cross on their debut is an amazing, amazing metal song that truly does things a little different
Yeah megadeth is anything but mid
Megadeth is far from mid lol. Like with every band they have a few stinker albums but for the most part they’re great.
coheed's first 4 albulms are amazing, us fans are kinda nerdy lol. most of the band are cool guys. claudio seems like the kind of guy everyone would want to invite to go wine tasting or for a barbaque.
Good video.
The Offspring and Papa Roach are two of my favorite bands and the more I see music critics and UA-camrs justifiably (!) sh*t on them since I totally get their cringyness, the more I feel the need to listen to them again ;-) is that a healthy reaction?
Starting with tool as a mid band 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The one thing I'll give the Offspring, more specifically Dexter, is that of all the SoCall punk lables Nitro took the biggest commercial risks. Putting out a Willhelm Scream album that everyone predicted to be a failure, as the lable was going broke, and calling it "Career Suicide" was also surprisingly ballsy.
I just started watching this and the first band up is Tool. Finn coming right out of the gate throwing haymakers at his own audience. This and the reactions in the comments are the content I come here for. 10/10
Hi Finn, here to say I'm a diehard Machine Head fan. I wear a Machine Head jacket just about every day and consistently listen to their albums often. Actually just took my son to his first concert a few weeks ago and it was one that Machine Head headlined with Fear Factory and Orbit Culture. And while I'm a huge fan of the band era that featured Robb Flynn, Phil Demmel, Adam Duce and Dave McClain, the most recent album (Of Kingdom and Crown) was a surprisingly triumphant release. I highly recommend it to anyone who thinks Robb lost it with the Catharsis album.
Also the new drummer for FFDP has a discord with like twenty People and he’s amazing . Total Chad. Would love to see him go past FFDP some day
Yeah that old drummer though 😂
Andy James the lead guitarist was one of the Lick Library instructors and is sick AF. Sorta wasted talent in FFDP
@@slingster the guitar solo on IOU and Rolldem bones is amazing
@@spfadden082711 Jeremy is one of the greatest groove drummers of all time. Listen to the American capitalist album or wrong side of heaven albums . Some of got your six and Justice for none have insane percussion.
"Hell yeah brother" sounded like Macho Man Randy Savage
That's Hulk Hogan. Macho man was "Oh YEAHHHHHH!". Get your 1980s wrestling promos right. This is not acceptable.
Also, make sure you listen to Macho Man Randy Savage's rap album today. Be a man is a hilarious diss track. Even funnier than B.o.B. dissing Neil Degrasse Tyson for not being a flat earther.
STEP INTO A SLIMJIM!!!
As much as I love Finn, there would definitely be a fight for who's going on the "other van" if they're was a big road trip. His van would be quite AF "no catchy sing-a-long songs, what are we in a Subaru commercial"... 🦗🦗🦗
Other Van: " 🎶 🎶 Oh, whoa, oh I got a love that keeps me waitin' Oh, whoa, oh 🎶 🎶 "
- everybody.
Your description of a Coheed fan was so unexpectedly spot on.
„Do machine head exist?“ meanwhile machine head headlining the biggest metal festival in the world: ☹️
That’s because mid sells
Machine Head have never ever headlined a big festival in the Uk
@@nemesis8626Download, not main stage headliners (sub headline/second stage headliners), but they have Bloodstock, which isn’t a big festival but not a small one.
And the tent was PACKED for the secret set the other year
I agree megadeth are mid . But Definitely GREAT! on albums peace sells, rust in peace, countdown and youthanasia. 🥳 🎸. Dare to disagree 😊. If you do ,,,, next lesson learn and play it. You will struggle because it's genius.
@@nemesis8626 Machine Head was one of the headliners at both Wacken Open Air and Download in 2012.
I almost got into a fight at a machine head concert once. The opening band was Arch Enemy and my friends and I went to that show just for Arch Enemy. During Arch Enemy’s set some people started shout-chanting “Machinehead.” I turned around and flipped those people off. One of them stormed over to me to try to fight me but I guess security saw them and stopped them from coming over to start a fight with me and kicked them out of the show.
Can't wait to see the Reddit review of this video! I'm sure it's gonna be just as comedic and light hearted as this video is!
On the topic of this video, I'll say that imo, when I think mid bands I think Foghat or Bad Company. They easily fit into the bottom right section, as most of their remaining fans are still pumping out the same blues scales at Guitar Center and telling me Slash is peak musicianship.
wow so original.
I'm so glad you acknowledged the lack of switching out of turrets in space craft. No one else brought that issue up
Thats because Machine Head are everyones 6th favourite band.
I would think as a musician that would be a great place to be make enough money to support yourself but you can stil go to the grocery store or movies without being hassled
@@Durkheadvery good point 😀. Never horribly approached all the time by strangers asking if u remember them
I've always confused Machine Head and Radiohead, because a radio is kind of a machine. I don't really have any opinion on either of the two, anyway I'd probably forget which is which.
@@guillaumelagueyte1019 bush sings a song called machinehead it always reminds me of the band machinehead
I want a local band tier list.
I like Machine Head. Saw them this past February and they kicked ass 🤘! “The Blackening” is one of the best metal albums of the 2000’s (in my opinion) and it still holds that title for me.
Totally agree that elder Emos and theater kids fit the Panic At The Disco demographic. I don’t like their newer stuff, but when they first came out I was obsessed with their first two albums and I fit this description to a tee. Thanks Finn for the laughs
Machine head mid 🤦♂️,did you hear the blackening album,through the ashes of the empire,unto the locust.
When I seen the title I thought Finn "wanted all the smoke" and seems like he does. I saw Machine Head I want to say back in 99 when their album The Burning Red came out. Yes Offspring mid in my book. Still watching your vid so more to come. Papa Roach very awesome live. Tool absolutely awesome live seen them in Munich in 06. I stumbled on Coheed and Cambria by accident. I bought this live DVD when I was deployed in 05 and I had this janky ass knock off dvd player that would play slowed down like it was screwed and chopped. Imagine listening to Coheed and Cambria screwed and chopped with their weird space wizard lyrics😂
As a mid musician, this gives me hope.
Memphis May Fire is the greatest midcore band ever
Memphis Mid Fire. 🔥
@@lloydster9000 LOL
@@lloydster9000 I even had a tattoo of them but I was a different person back then lol
I want to hang out with Adam Jones from Tool. Not to hear about tool, but to ask about being a VFX artist on Terminator, Jurassic Park and Edward Scissorhands.
I guess you can call Machine Heads 90s to early 00s discog mid but since and espacially for The Blackening they are above average
TOOL Army…invade!!!!
Tool and mid are two words that don't belong in the same sentance respectfully
Tool is amazing. No one can ever tell me different.
@TaxinGigs 100% I get different tastes but to call them mid is ridiculous no bad albums one of the best to ever do it
@@thomo2127 🤙
I was going to not engage with this video at all because I just don’t approve of the vibe, even tho I know he’s just having fun BUT I do approve of this comment. Tool is far above mid. Objectively, like them or not.
I remembered why i don't watch this guy.
When I think "mid" I think of a ton of those early post-grunge bands like Collective Soul, Mudhoney, Silverchair, Candlebox, Live, etc. Like, are they actively bad? I don't think so, and a few have a couple good songs, but they all sound the same.
I wouldn’t put Mudhoney in that group. They were around the same time Nirvana was up and coming.
Yeah me neither
Nah hop off Silverchair, they’re pretty rad.
If Collective Soul are not actively bad, it means they broke up. The World I Know is the only real song I ever heard from those hacks. Every other song in their mediocre catalogue shares two features: 1) a riff which steps back for two measures to let the lead singer (I think his name is Ed Roland) sing a sparse melody line and steps back in again (a blus formula) and 2) a really poorly conceived and unmemorable solo stitched awkwardly and obligatorily into the middle of the song. Collective Soul isn't mid. They are bad.
@@dustee985 Silverchair has a couple bangers, and they wrote their best song when they were like 16, which is pretty impressive. On the whole, though? ... eh. Take 'em or leave 'em, in my opinion.
I had a college friend that got a Machine Head tattoo back in the late 90s. I lost contact with him over 20 years ago, but I sometimes wonder how much he regrets that decision.
I knew a girl who got a giant Kill Hannah tattoo as a backpiece. Sometimes I wonder.
No regerts also new machinehead album is pretty good
NO FUCKING REGRETS!!!
Idk I know several people that still have the heartagram tattoo. There still proud and love HIM.
I’ve seen Machine Head live once and got to meet them too. They do have their mid moments but I wouldn’t call Burn My Eyes, The Blackening, or Unto The Locust mid.
I was waiting for Alexisonfire (Finn’s mentioned he thinks they’re mid). I am of course one of the people who thinks they’re exemplary of perfect 2000s post-hardcore but was curious to hear his input on his disliking of them lol
They're great
The thing with tool is you kinda gotta let em grow on you I used to think they were mid asf but the more you really listen to them and they’re music the more realize it kicks ass
These comments have not disappointed
Nice to know I am now old enough for music nosslgia gimicks to apply to me but I still keep a modern taste in music.
Like Sick New World seemed kinda cool but I'm not stuck hoping for new releases from bands in that era.
"Tool is mid" says, "Don't trust me. Question everything I say....(everything)."
Same with megadeth
I love machinehead the new album is pretty good
I think your hatred of Tool fans clouds your judgement. Every one of those guys is a master of their craft and they do things many can't even begin to emulate.
thanks Finn! Haven’t been feeling too good last couple of days snd this picked me up! I would only defend Tool from being mid as I like them, but other that you were spot on! So right about machine head! I saw them support slipknot once and have tried to get into them but couldn’t. Excellent !
I don't understand how Tool is a mid band, but ok
How is Tool mid? I mean, I think this UA-cam channel is mid, but I’m not bitchin’ about it.
You are correct, I’m mid at best
Mid by definition
@@FinnMckentyPRMBAyou're like Avenged Sevenfold's latest album. I want to like you, but I feel like if I did like you I'd have no friends and my family would disown me.

@@MekarePi love Finn. Had to bust his chops. He's such a good sport.
Thank goodness for not needing your 'stamp of approval' to love Megadeth.
The Blackening by Machine Head is a fantastic album. The rest of their stuff is okay. As far as Megadeth is concerned, their stuff from the 80’s is great. I’d argue Rust In Peace is one of the top twenty classic albums in all of metal.
Midchine Head
Machine Head is overall very mid but "Burn My Eyes" is A tier. That slam poetry song really hurts their case though
Nah. I think with Tool, you either think they are great or they suck. The antithesis of “mid”. (Hate that Fn term, and when dudes over 17 try and use it, it sounds even more douche)
for some reason i think that Megadeth is more like speed metal with bad vocals rather than all out thrash, they're not particularly fast when compared to their contemporaries but made that up with more big brain stuff like shred guitars and more intricate riffing, although the "big brain" part is also outshined by bands like Voivod, Coroner, Watchtower, and what have you.
Megadeth fan: "Wait, it's mid?"
Finn: "Always has been."
I would tend to agree about Megadeth, but Rust in Peace is such a legendary album it kind of raises the entire band to great. I'm pretty sure I saw Machine Head live in the early 90s opening for Sepultura or Napalm Death, but I really can't remember when, where, or anything about the show. I guess that's mid. I've got a ticket stub somewhere, it's the only reason I remember I was there.
All Time Low was my absolute favorite band when I was 13. I also loved Twilight and was transitioning out of my Disney Channel era, so I think that speaks volumes.
Totally agree with this list, except I think the album Rust in Peace took Megadeth far outta the mid category forever.
It’s kinda ironic that Maynard is a ‘Tool’ 😂😂
I will always like Megadeath. In 86' when I was 18, doing College Radio we set up an interview with Dave before a show in our city and ended up smoking weed and watching Caligula on their bus and only got station ID'S and show intro 's, no interview.
I dont know how Blink 182 isnt on this list. They're probably the most painfully mediocre band I've ever heard in my life. Every single song sounds the same, both vocalists are god awful, the guitar and bass are literally first year music student worthy....the only even remotely talented musician is Travis Barker whose cringe af and really built a career from playing really fast. Hes like a less technical Joey Jordison. Blink 182 is just an edgier, more immature version of weezer.
He’s actually more technical than Joey- Travis has those marching band chops
Agreed. Blink is objectively simple music (similar sounding song melodies on repeat) and poor vocals. Sounds good upon first listen - gets old fast because there’s nothing of substance there.
I love Machine Head! I remember the first time hearing the intro to Davidian at a party when I was a junior in high school.
Say what you want about All Time Low, but Alex Gaskarth is a phenomenal songwriter. Not only for All Time Low, but he wrote songs for 5SOS, Simple Plan, and State Champs. Put Up, So Wrong, Nothing Personal, and Don’t Panic are all 10/10 albums.
Nobody admits to liking All Time Low just like nobody admits to liking any other neon pop punk band. They were scene, but unpopular with scene kids because they didn’t have screams. They fit into the category sometimes with Sleeping with Sirens and Pierce the Veil because they were more “girl” oriented than the other bands at the time
The fact that they are still around and getting decent streaming numbers, and most other 2000's neon pop-punk bands flamed out and had to go get regular jobs speaks volumes. Same goes for The Maine. They just wrote better songs than their contemporaries.
ATL has been my favorite band for 14 years, so I'm a tad biased, but I don't think it's fair to say "no one cares about them anymore".
I know these videos are all in good fun, so I'm not triggered over this or anything, just saying.
Coheed and Cambria is like... Khaki Granola Bar-Core
I knew this video would be cringe but FFDP being considered cool is actually hilarious 😂 keep reaching Finn
Coheed and Cambria has been my favorite band since I was in middle school back in 2013. I thought their album Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV was incredible, and I still believe that, and their most recent albums Vaxis 1 and 2 are really good, too. I embrace the "nerd Coheed fan" label. I'm just glad Finn finally talked about them.
When we mention FFDP and cool band members, how could we forget Mr. Jeremy Spencer AKA Psycho Sinner?! The *epitome* of cool.
I think people who call a band "MID" feel like they understand why a band is popular, but actually don't - because they like the "subgenre" that band is a part of but they totally miss what makes them so special.
I can see why someone who loves Thrash might think Megadeth are "Mid" for example - I mean if you're a fan of Metallica or Slayer there is bound to be some appeal where you think "yeah this sounds pretty cool" - but you don't appreciate the "special sauce" that makes a band like that so special. With Megadeth for example they have relatively intricate and technical guitar riffs - you really have to be into guitar to appreciate them and elevate them to being your favourite Thrash band.
I think it’s also pretty safe to say that Bullet for my Valentine is kind of mid. Why would you listen to them over Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, August Burns Red, or early BMTH?
Exactly, because you just wouldn’t.
This^
Bullet has maybe 3 songs I truly like, and I've heard nothing else from them but a few seconds.
Early BMTH and Killswitch are the way to go, however I will say that Bullet has always felt less metalcore than really even Lamb of God to me, plus I haven't thought about them in probably over a year until I saw your comment
Fortunately, you're speaking only for yourself. ;)
I'm assuming either you weren't around when they had their breakthrough or you're clueless. BFMV is one of the best selling bands of the genre and became a pattern for most bands that came after them.
Bands like BMTH were only possible because of them. If you can't see their importance I'm so sorry for you. If you dive deep into their catalog you will find plenty of gold there. I mean, they are almost selling out O2 arena in London so its safe to say you don't know wtf you're talking about.
It actually sold out in minutes. I could not get stading tickets at all! @@PedroHenrique-mj1mn
@@PedroHenrique-mj1mnNo I just really don’t like their music. It just sounds like corny drop C Metallica with some really weak breakdowns to me.
The poison is a good album but all of the other early 2000’s metalcore acts were just better. The End of Heartache came out a year before The Poison and it was better in every single conceivable way.
He really came for me on the topic of geeking out over band lore 😂😮💨
I saw All Time Low at Soundwave (an Australian music festival) in 2013. Ive been to tonnes of metal shows but that was the most violent ive ever seen. I saw two huge fights between groups of girls. A random girl with an underage wristband went up to my brother and asked if she could climb on his shoulders so she could throw her bra at the band.
I love a lot of All time low's earlier music but that crowd behaviour is or was insane!
Regardless of any other takes, the Megadeath takes are always on point Finn, we'll always have that bond
This was a great video, loved the topic
Bro how did you describe with 100% accuracy the average coheed fan, I had a friend in highschool who literally matches that description to a T, 6’5” 280lbs long hair, cargo shorts… like spot fucking on!!!!
