Good video but I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Hurrian Hymn which was discovered in the 1950s on a clay tablet inscribed with Cuneiform text and is the oldest surviving melody at over 3,400 years old. Without this there would be no metal. Unsubscribing
I came here to say the same thing!
Dude get off the drugs.
Timmay!
Goodbye Felicia , this guy put in a lot of work into this video but oh well . Can't pleased everyone 😂😂 I just subscribed. I love Metal ❤️ 🤘✊️
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
"The atmosphere of classical music, the musicianship of jazz, the melancholy of blues, and the flamboyancy of early rock n roll" is a great description of heavy metal
I'd swap early rock n roll for hard and psychedelic rock tho
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek Fair. Though heavy metal and hard rock were originally indistinguishable from each other until maybe the early 80s, and were originally just an extension of psychedelic rock.
@@timothyissler3815to be honest, I don’t even think it would be inaccurate to call almost all Metal genres variants of Acid Rock even to this day. The psychedelia opened the door for alternative themes in Hard Rock.
Very well done documentary!
@@timothyissler3815 I'd disagree
why was Pantera not mentioned once?? they gave us the birth of groove metal and probably was the most influential metal band in the 90´s... it's actually sad how underappreciated they are considering how important they were to the metal scene and metal history in general. they are the reason so many of us got into metal in the first place in the 90´s and 2000´s
he talked about Swedish Death metal and never mentioned Siebenburgen
thrash metal and no megadeth either@@Femaiden
I'm also here to wonder why Pantera was not mentioned once.
They aren’t under appreciated, they’re one of the biggest names in metal and could be considered main stream at this point. Maybe a lot of people into metal don’t like Panteras style ( I listened to them when I was younger but don’t like these days) but anyway, once a band is big enough to have people who know the name without ever having listened to them, I don’t think you can be considered unappreciated at that point
Sry to brake it to you, but Pantera weren't the most influential metal band in the 90's.
Probably they were for you, but in the whole metal scene??? Not even close.
Here are some bands i could think of who released their debut albums in the 90's.
Immortal, Marduk, Darkthrone, At the gates, Decide, Benediction, Dissection, Emperor and many many many more.
If the 80's were the golden era of Thrash metal, then the 90's were the golden era of Black and Death metal.
How dare you not mention every single band that has or ever will exist😂
🤣
I'm just thankful for Iron Maiden.
Pffft Maiden hopped on the bandwagon, they are not original, they are a 10yrs after the fact copy of Judas Preist & should be jailed for influencing the morons of the world to help lron maiden become millionaires
Iron Maiden changed the game! Badasses
Why, did Bruce land his plane in your back garden!.
More importantly, Jesus saves sinners! God bless you fellow rocker
“Thrash metal took the speed and aggression of punk and combined it with talent.” This made me lol.
More importantly, Jesus saves sinners! God bless you fellow thrasher!
PANTERA also shifted heavy metal in the 90s and today. They influenced groove, breakdown, bouncy riffs and introducing the Eddie Van Halen guitar God of the 90s.
I'm actually surprised Pantera was not mentioned once in this video. They were pretty much the only big metal band in the early 1990s. I know the younger generation of metalheads are pretty much trying to erase Pantera out of existent but I mean when albums like Vulgar Display and Far Beyond came out, all the bands from the 80s were considered old news and bands like Korn were still just starting out and a whole generation of metalheads got into metal through Pantera.
I also he felt he under estimated and basically ignored the influence of metalcore and left out important stuff from that scene that helped shaped metal today. Things like Mayhem Fest and Warped Tour and all that and also no mention of bands like HIM, Children of Bodom, Avenged Sevenfold or Bring Me The Horizon. Also no mention of Blue Cheer. Blasphemy right?
@@dexxybetrayal Either you weren't around in the 90s, or weren't a metal fan. Panterra might have had a strong influence on the future, they were only in the top 10 of the 90s metal bands, not #1.
@@dexxybetrayaltool, primus, faith no more, mr bungle??? helmet???????
@@MagicManICTwhose number one then
Pantera saved heavy metal in the early 90's. Used to listen to WSOU Seton Hall pirate radio in NJ. Nirvana and Pearl Jam were taking over and people were talking about metal waning. Then I heard Cowboys From Hell and all was well again. I remember standing in a long line waiting for Tower Records to open to buy the new Vulgar CD.
I personally love Dio, Ronnie James Dio was such a fantastic singer that never seemed to age, always taking care of himself, no drugs or alcohol. Rest In peace, absolute legend, nothing ever seemed to get him down, he never went too poppy and stuck to what he liked writing.
He was a legend. I’ll never forget the day he died, I was inconsolable. A good chunk of my teenage years died.
I'm 64 years old. I was there... for all of it (even stationed in Germany and going to festivals/concerts in England). I know you couldn't possibly name all the great bands of the last 55 years, even if you did another 40 minute video where you just started reading names off a list. What you have done here? This is wonderful. It is GLORIOUS. It's also... a great start. You could make a series of videos that focused on a specific era, you could make a series focusing on each genre of metal... And Asian metal, like Ningen Isu... (now, to go look at stuff you've already done...)
Back to commenting on this video:
\~~/ F**KING AWESOME!!!! BANG YOUR HEEEAAAD!!! \~~/
🤘 HELL YEA. IM A 80s kid. Totally got your back
Anyone who is interested in doing an in depth deep dive analysis of the last 55 years of metal could easily find themselves with15-20 hours of material to put into a series.
I am74 and I agree with you !!
So glad you included dio, he's so important to metal and I feel like he doesn't always get the love he deserves
RONNIE JAMES DIO WAS KING OF ROCK AND LEGEND UNTIL TODAY THERE'S NO ONE HAVE HIS VOCAL,..FROM RAINBOW EYES TO DONT TALK TO STRANGER,NO BODY UNTIL NOW HAS HIS VOICE AN PASSION THATS WHY HE IS A KING OF ROCK AND ROLL..!!!!!!!
@@muhdsalutz4468 hell yeah buddy
not to mention its because of Dio we have \m/ he invented that hand symbol
@@DrKuryakin yeah dude, his grandma showed it too him
Dio is, in my opinion, the most iconic metal vocalist, there’s something so unique about him!
As owner of a large forest in Norway, I have the responsebility to keep looking for blackmetal bands out to shoot album covers in the wintertime.
When Faith No More hit, Nu Metal wasn't a term, yet. They were unique hard rock/metal with some rap and funk.
Ozzy with Black Sabbath was where i think it all got started
I had the best time ever when I was 16 and riding around with my friends listening to Scorpions, Deep Purple, iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
I was 16 in Nu Metal time and I hate it. I envy you in a good way. 😍🥰
Me too... and now our combined age is in triple digits😮
More importantly, Jesus saves sinners! God bless you fellow rocker
I’m so glad I lived in a time that Heavy Metal existed.
Ronnie James Dio "popularized" the "devil horns" and started using it in 1979, though on KISS' Love Gun album, Gene Simmons is shown to be having them on an album in 1978. Geezer Butler even used them prior to that. In spirituality, the symbol is meant to get rid of negative energy, or even to accomplish a feeling on "oneness'
Jinx Dawson of 1960s Metal band Coven claims that she was the first to use the Sign 🤘 on stage during a 1968 performance. Of course I was at that show celebrating my 40th birthday with a tube of the most toxic airplane 🛬 glue and a gallon of Everclear spiked with DMT ,and just a little gasoline to give it that extra kick
It's also an androgynous hand sign, as is the two fingers that are
falsely flashed for 'peace'.
Yeah when CFH came out in 90 or 91 Pantera blew up. It was a new wave of thrash metal in America.
You didn't mention Rammstein who are HUGE in industrial metal and still rocking today.
Also you didn't mention Hardcore music with two bands I loved in the 90s Life of Agony and Biohazard.
Another genre was goth. Type O Negative was awesome in the 90s.
Aside from those items this video really was well done and entertaining. Your knowledge and love for metal is very apparent. I'm older than you but I'm glad to see your generation loves it as much as I do.
Missing Rush from the 70-s as well. Influenced a lots of prog and metal bands.
Boooo! I shudder when I think of Rush being mentioned in discussions of metal. But alas, the flamboyance of Kind Diamond style playing I guess gives them a space 😢
@@jaimedeleon1194 2112, The Necromancer, Cygnus X-1 the voyage, Anthem. Quite heavy songs and all of them from the 70-s.
Krokus was more metal than Rush. Rush influenced metal maybe but was not metal. Krokus wasn't mentioned in the video. Also, Scorps tunes like Sails of Charon not mentioned.
@@Shazeen82can't forget Working Man
@@edwardonsax9919 Whatever they are influenced endless number of musicians who are playing metal.
Just seeing Gojira live makes me feel like I am living in the right time and metal is far from done
dude fr I saw em at knotfest in 2019
I was at Gojira on the 16th in Toronto....they got to play a double set and it was amazing
Started with Godsmack and Staind, then Pantera,Lamb Of God, Child Bite...then Mastodon,Gojira, Lorna Shore lol did a 3 show in 12 day stint lol
Facts! Hail Gojira! 🤘🤘❤
I just saw them for the first time in Pittsburgh on the 11th. It not only was my first Gojira concert but first concert in general lmao. It was fuckin great
Cool documentary. I've experienced most of it first hand. It's been a great trip. Looking forward to hearing more material from your project. Good luck on the recording process. 🤘
Best video on Metal history. My only regret is you not mentioning Pantera. They single handedly gave birth to the 90s mainstream metal sound along with forming a new genre. Anyway, I hope all the very best for your band 🤘
I wanted to disagree with you bc I'm not a fan of 90's Phil and that metal died in the 90's. But damn thinking about what you said you're totally right lol. It was a new sound and new they did have an important role. Miss the Abbotts.
The 90s weren't much of METAL as GRUNGE METAL royally SUCKS!!!+
Yeah not bringing up megadeth or pantera is slightly disappointing but its not a big deal tbh still the best one ive seen
The thing I love most about this is the accuracy. I still remember tying my tapes to pigeons and waiting for new music to fly back.
Wow dude congratulations, I was looking for a metal doc and within 2 secs I was invested - really great job
Really wanna thank you for this video. I’m only getting into metal and this video really helped me to understand the history of the genre and discover new amazing bands. Thanks
Id like to inform all the Pantera fans that other bands exist
No they dont
hating metalcore is a major skill issue
Lmao
Everyone knows that Lemmy is God. The Brothers Abbot are merely disciples.
I think a fair chunk of those other bands would at least acknowledge Pantera as existing, if not a major influence on metal in the 90s.
I'm not even that into a lot of metal and even I know that's a glaring omission. Anyway, let's not get fucking hostile. I'm away to listen to Meshuggah.
Ayoo i actually drew those different metalhead types you used somewhere around the 31 minute mark! I've been watching your videos for a while so that's actually pretty cool haha; been a hot minute since i drew those, so glad to see they're still making the rounds. rock on!
Saw your stuff the other day, on Facebook, and went looking for you on DeviantArt. Great art, buddy, keep up the good work! Hope you have a chance to enjoy Vagos next year
It's been a wild ride so far! Starting with embarrassing my parents in 1968 as a toddler belting out Steppenwolf songs that got played on restaurant jukeboxes (accidentally knocking over a glass that ended up shattering on the floor once), learning how to play guitar in the '70s & '80s, jamming with garage bands, a Senior Skip Day '83 kegger, and more. Listened to everything from Led Zeppelin to local bands like Left End, Link, Lazarus, Zaza (NE Ohio) and Avatar (later called Savatage) and Crimson Glory (Central Florida), and all the other iconic bands of the 1960s to 2020s. Not in a band of my own since the early 2000s, but getting back into practice via karaoke and open mic nights lately in my 50s after recuperating from two surgeries.
I found it so funny that you talked about Metalcore for less than 30 seconds 😭 I love metalcore and bands like electric callboy, bring me the horizon and motionless in white were my gateway bands into other metal genres but I get why it was disliked by a lot of people
Appreciate the fact that you call out the fact that grunge didn't kill metal. Hair metal was never going to last, and was overexposed, meanwhile, Metallica still went strong, but alot of big bands dealt with inner turmoil...... that said as you also mentioned, the underground had some major bands forming, or about to blow up. Want to add, I wouldn't consider ghost a metal band. I'm not using that as an insult, but more mentioning their sound is more of a classic hard rock sound with some metal aspects popping up. Also shout out to 3teeth, keeping industrial metal great.
Hair metal was indeed far more damaging to metal than was grunge.
F yeah 3teeth. The Browning is another good one.
Am I the only one who remembers thrash and hair metal coexisting and even feeding off each other? I mean, where did Jason newsted come from? Look at megadeth!
I'm glad anthrax got some props, and I'm really glad you pointed out how metal thrived in the 90s, but as a thrasher, I'd tell the story a bit differently
I hear you man. But you have to remember kids like to live in small little worlds seeing the world from their tiny little baubles. But metal had to grow up and so did we.
Guess who’s back, back again.. Wyatt’s back.. tell a friend!
More importantly, Jesus saves sinners!..God bless you fellow rocker
As someone who was growing up in 1980's and 90's and started to listen to Metal in 1988 I jumped straight into Slayer, Kreator and soon after Death and other Death Metal bands.
I do miss those times. Nostalgia probably.
South of Heaven is the song that got me hooked on Slayer.
Same. Iron Maiden Judas Priest turned to Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath Pantera….I really took notice of Slayer and Metallica as pimply faced teen washing dishes. My eyes were opened ti the drinking and , drugging and deranged antics of Chefs n Management. I really had a blast and I look back misty eyed sometimes.
Your description of powermetal was on point and even had me in tears lol. This is coming from a huge powermetal fan.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the influx of multiple labels of genres of metal, there were four genres i remember mentioned Thrash, Glam, one I can't remember, and Power metal. Bands like Maiden, Priest, Dio etc were considered Power Metal, being a heavier form of hard rock vs Metallica, Megadeth etc being thrash and on and on. This would have been around '84/'85. I was in my mid teens then and remember the early 80s when metal was still considered a little underground until Slippery When Wet came out in '85 or so.
I love the song Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the album Black Sabbath
Werent they called something different at first tho?
then you might also love the song Angel Witch by Angel Witch off the album Angel Witch
@@dingbatrambozo7749 I’ll have to check it out I do love the song godshate by godshate off the album godshate
@@dingbatrambozo7749 Right Blah,ha,ha!!! Or, maybe the last song called Iron Maiden on the debut album called Iron Maiden by the band named Iron Maiden? We can go on & on to list bands, groups & artists who've done this also on their debut song or album. Metal Church, Iced Earth, Minor Threat, Bad Company, Murphy's Law, Bad Religion, off the top of my head. Just saying... +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+. \m/(*.*)\m/
@@supercouchpotato9698Polka Tulk Blues Band and then Earth, followed by Black Sabbath.
I survived stage diving at a Danzig concert and I'm a better man today for it. Navigating the mosh pit while Slayer played Reign in Blood helped as well.
Really fun and informative. You throw in some really funny jokes while still keeping the focus on the music and covering all the key movements and subgenres.
You give Motörhead the respect it deserves you're ok in my book, you've earned a like and a sub🤘
Its insane to think that dave mustaine could create all of this
I think it was Chuck Norris...
Ikr? i remember when moonlight sonata came out, epic megadeth record
Fools....everyone knows that Gene Simmons created Heavy Metal....just ask him, he'll tell you.
Definitely should’ve put a little bit more of a light on metallica at the end of the 80’s. I feel like them going into the mainstream the way they did just spawned so many bands years later. Awesome doc tho
Maiden is not only touring but they sound incredible. Great video. Well thought out and produced. Subbed.
I'm 42 and have been listening to heavy metal music for 23 years now, since I was 19 and it's one of the greatest music genres, no matter what sub genre you into, heavy metal music just gets in your veins and boils your blood in a good way and you start headbanging non-stop and thrashing your body around, there are so many undiscovered metal gems with so classic albums that don't get much appreciation or attention because they're metal. Heavy metal has helped me through some difficult times with mental illnesses, it really lifts your spirit up, great video of the history of heavy metal. ❤️🤘🎸
I think this is pretty good crafted, probably the more accurate I've seen on YT. Let me do a couple of minor corrections that overall doesn't affect the accuracy of this: Faith No More is way older than nu metal bands by at least a decade, and was considered at the time "funk metal" and later, in the 2000's, was being called "alternative metal"; and folk metal started as such with English band Skyclad; while you can make the case for Sepultura, I think it's more accurate to put Skyclad at the beginning of the genre. Besides that, I think this is really good done.
The who were a driving force in heavy metal you got John Entwistle to thank for that as early as 65 and the kinks w daves heavy guitar tone
Wow amazing video, thank you!!!
Black Sabbath may be regarded as the first heavy metal band, but it could be mentioned that several bands provided the prototype of the metal sound like Vanilla Fudge and Blue Cheer.
Vanilla fudge and deep purple were definetly heavy, but they were heavy-rock. It was Black Sabbath that was heavy-metal, instead of just heavy rock.
If you ask what song, what album, and what band started metal, the answer to all 3 questions is Black Sabbath.
Sir Lord Baltimore
Don't forget Budgy... Everyone always forget about Budgy, who predate Sabbath by more than two years.
@@freebee8221 Nope. Budgy were first.
Vanilla Fudge and Blue Cheer were very loud but their song themes were mostly psychedelic rock and hard rock themes. They were as metal as Zeppelin, Hendrix or Cream. Metal in general tends to have a darker tone to the music influenced by horror movies, gothic fiction, harsh working class urban life, and as the video shows well metal also has a shock rock element from the likes of Kiss and Alice Cooper
There’s 10 metal genres being introduced to this world as we speak.
More like 10000 every second
😆@@Braden269
I think the latest one is "ad naseum metal".........
The only band that Grunge produced better than any other,,Alice in Chains
The video should have also mentioned the alternative metal phenomenon of the late 80s and early 90s (JAnes Addiction, Soundgarden, Faith no More, etc)
Mother Love Bone.
Love the plug at the end LOL overall great video thanks for making it!
AWESOME VIDEO THANKS I really enjoyed your video !!!
Rainbow Rising in 1976 and the follow up should not be forgotten. Their influence in Europe, along with Judas Priest, is huge
The best video about music without a note of music in it. I get why he did it, so they can’t say you got what you got because of their music. I’m surprised you can even talk about 99% of these bands without a seize and desist letter saying you’re benefiting from their hard work. I think no one should steal or make money off the back of anyone else, but a few short clips of music in an educational video about the history of a genre, isn’t stealing in my eyes. Great video, and I hope you get 100% of whatever you can without sharing it with anyone but the people who helped you make it. Thank you 🙏🏼
By far, Iron Maiden has the best live show ever.
AGREED
Saw them on the Powerslave tour when I was 16. It was my first concert. Twisted Sister opened and it was an awesome combo. However, I saw Dio my first time on the Dream Evil tour a little over a year after, and I'd be hard pressed to say which of the two were the best out of the couple hundred bands I've seen in everything from bars to stadiums. The giant mechanical spider fighting the dragon with lasers rivalled anything Eddie did on stage! Had tix to see Alice Cooper's Raise Your Fist And Yell tour two months after Dio, but a blizzard forced the tour bus to detour around our town to pick up just the two of us with the only tickets in my town. I was pissed as we sat at the pick up point for two hours with no one coming to tell us the bus was't coming! I'm sure Cooper put on an awesome show that time around!
Awesome content brotha, half way through and you earned my sub! 🔥🤘🏼
Ironically and awesomely, that has been my entire life thus far. (1968 to 2023). No wonder I love this music so much. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
glad you mentioned steppenwolf
one of my favorites underrated bands
As an official 80s Poser, I would like to show up to your thrash metal concert and start a brawl over your brushing over the impact of the genre. While the glam has die out, the music styles and lyrics didn't. And if you're going to include KISS as one of the founders of shock rock and metal (they were hard rock, always were), then you can't just gloss over glam. Influences for bands like Guns N Roses and Motley Crue were some of the same influences other "harder metal" bands of the time were citing in personal and want ads.
It should be noted that William S. Burroughs actually coined the phrase “heavy metal” back when people used to read. Even musicians
Man , your video is great fun and well done , thanks for the good time
Fun video. I like how you connect the dots from early metal to "new" metal to punk/hardcore to speed metal since that was pretty much my early music listening history. Your jokes made me lol. I'd have probably stuck The Melvins in there somewhere since their short heavy metal songs seemed important at the time :)
A very interesting and fun video. I learned a lot.
Btw. Speaking of Dio, there's an old Japanese game on the Famicom dedicated to him. It's called Holy Diver and is the answer to the question "What if Castlevania was metal af?". It's worth a look for a metal fan.
The most on-point metal documentary I saw. Thank you for your work.
Dude!!! Awesome script and narration!! 38 minutes of pure awesomeness!! 🤜💥🤛
I have to say this is possibly the most entertaining metal doc that I’ve seen. Your sense of humor injects just the right amount of comic relief into the video to keep it from being too serious. I’d like to see a more in depth version of your video that goes further back into the musical history. But, it would require your humor and opinions because that’s what made this one so unique and enjoyable. Great job on this one!
No mention of Pantera. 1/10.
Na I'm joking. This video is f*ckin IMPRESSIVE. We gotta more metal talk bud
Great video. Your sense of humor keeps me listening even when you moved on past the eras that interest me (I'm in my 50's, so I was around when some of these genre offshoots were born). Thank you for the reverence you showed for Lemmy and Motorhead, the greatest heavy band that ever existed. I was lucky enough to meet Lemmy once, and even though he was very cool, and almost a foot shorter than me, he was still somewhat intimidating. Thanks for sharing.
Much love to Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, the original metal screamer!
SPACE TRUCKIN'!!!
I’m 59 years old and still jamming to metal!
This is awesome. I can tell a crazy amount of work went into this one. Your selection of clips paired with your voiceovers really made this feel like a true documentary. And I learned some things I didn’t know! Well done 👏🤘
Same here as well a perfect documentary for heavy Metal I already watched this twice now and learning on what our folks from across the pong did for us is amazing bands like iron madian Judas priest are amazing but I wanna get more into death metal like death ministry and venom
Jimmy Hendrix is the grandfather of metal. When he came, every one tried to sound like him, ie Deep Purple. Rob Halford also acknowledge Hendrix as the wizard that shook the world
That's Jimi.
not at all. A hald Dozen + metel songs were released before Jimi came along.
I agree. Jimi should have been mentioned
I disagree. I think the band that paved the way for hard rock/heavy metal was The Animals.
@@jocamadad the animals had a part for sure. Jimi sure reached alot of people though
Ozzy and Sabbath may have been credited as the first heavy metal band, but some would argue that there was already a movement underground.
I got into this stuff over 50 years ago and was into dozens of bands and metal genres since then. Your Dark Insanity sounds good to me. Heavy deep metal regardless of what genre is my type of metal.
When I was 12 I liked nirvana, silver chair and offspring.. the day I first heard becoming from pantera I was instantly transformed into a metalhead!
Aye. Metal > Punk
Really good vid! A lot was not mentioned, but then this thing would be three hours long, so you packed it nicely.
Thanks a lot Wyatt! This video was informative and hilarious at the same time.
Saying that Swedish melodic death metal was influenced by Carcass Heartwork is a bit of a stretch considering that Gothenburg had a scene going for years before that album came out, and Arch Enemy (which was formed only because Japan wanted Michael Amott to do more albums like Heartwork) didn't arrive until later. There were also other bands in Europe mixing Death Metal with melody like Amorphis, Sentenced, and arguably My Dying Bride although they are more Doom and gothic than death metal.
Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult is one of the 1st heavy metal songs and the ONLY song to ever match the feel/vibes/attitude of Ironman.
Yes but a lot of the knuckleheads here would say it's not metal it's hard rock.
In my opinion, heavy metal's triumphant period was with Iron Maiden, even Metallica was heavily influenced by Iron Maiden's music
I love your videos. Great edits, great information, and you’re fucking hilarious. Keep it up😁
Very well made documentary! If you would have included the Hardcore Scenes influence in the 80s this would be perfect
You did a good job with this documentary, its important to keep updating the history as the years keep passing by up to present 🤘
Thanks for the video. Your sense of humor is excellent! Some of your quick comments caught me off guard and I found myself laughing a few seconds after your joke. Well done!
Thank you!
Overkill wasnt mentioned and i think they have made the most albums for the thrash metal bands from the 80s. Still a great vid and thanks for sharing!
Pantera?? The only metal band not mentioned that paved the way for MANY MANY metal bands in the 90s.. other than that, excellent documentary man.. you literally touched on everything metal.. except pantera.. lol..
Still a great doc.. thanks for sharing.. 🤘
Pantera and Machine Head had every reason to be mentioned in the 90's. And the gloss over of Metalcore, when it was almost singlehandedly the thing that gave the injection of new life into the underground was pretty absurd.
Your delivery is awesome mate.
Great video and great way to visit memory lane! Thanks!
Dude's tape collection at 16:24 is pretty frikkin' epic...some damn good classics in there :) I wish I still had all of my old tapes.
That was absolutely awesome ... I was hooked from the very get go .... great video thank you
Dude, this documentary is awesome! U did great with this. Rock on ✊
Btw - I lost it when u put on Jim Carrey dancing to ur example of death metal
Thank you!
Great video, a few bands I feel worth mentioning are also The Misfits ((Danzig era) sure not technically metal but the influence is undeniable), Diamond Head, Megadeth and Entombed
Nuclear Assault
Rammstein
This is easily one of the best histories of metal I have encountered on the internet. Please keep making more content like this!
I appreciate that thank you!
I disagree
👍
What a FANTASTIC documentary!! Ahhh the 80's- Golden Age if Heavy Metal.
This is basically the most awesome video ever made on youtube
Great job showcasing all the different genres of Heavy Metal bands! I'm from the generation X period, and agree the 80's was the blossom of true Heavy Metal. There was just one Metal band you didn't mention in this video that "saved" Metal according to Scott Ian from Anthrax, and that was Pantera!
There's a tight 4 piece called Tool you should check out that knocked Taylor Swift out of the top charts to the dismay of Swifties everywhere
Great stuff dude, rock on.
I gotta say I respect how great your pronounciation of Korpiklaani was
ive been a metalhead for 20 years now and ive watched a large number of documentaries and metal histories but this one is hands down the most accurate depiction of what i consider the most important movements within metal history to be.
I think the only major subgenres you didn't talk about where sludge metal and the later post metal scenes in the 90s and 00s. bit of an omission in my opinion.
You forgot one band from 1968, Blue Cheer. Summertime Blues is widely known to be the first heavy metal song. It may not be the style that Black Sabbath pioneered but for its time its heavier than everything else.
You keep me hanging on - Vanilla Fudge
Helter Skelter - Beatles were just as heavy . Nothing was even close to Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused
I rather listen to Spooky Tooth or MC 5 . Most of BC was poorly managed songs > didn't make musical sense
@@robertserafin-uc3qn I can tell you've never taken Acid then, they make sense when you're flying high
Cream had already covered classier and heavier ground on Disraeli Gears in 67. I love Blue Cheer but an Eddie Cochran cover through a fuzz pedal doesn't quite cut it as "first heavy metal song".
Inna godda da vida is the first metal song
REALLY enjoyed this documentary-style video!! Thanks :)
(but now I cry tears over the fact that I'll never see Motorhead at Aftershock 😭😭)
Thank you so much!
Cool Documentary Mate 🤘🤘
