I wouldn't worry too much about being called a gatekeeper, gatekeeping isn't inherently bad people have just been brainwashed to think it is, gatekeeping is necessary.

@@dreaded666 Like for example I have seen online in the last few years some one with a stupid ass looking vest with patches of anime shows and of dumb sayings and the few bands are even on it are hella shitty ones, and if anyone has the nerve to make fun of them for it or whatever everyone jumps on them talking about “gatekeepers like them are what’s wrong with metal” and “metal was meant to be inclusive and welcoming” and all kinds of stupid shit like that. Fuck that, when I was a kid you’d have your ass beat wearing some stupid shit like that at a show
I agree. When a group is made to be a counter culture, it ruins everything for everyone originally in it when that culture becomes mainstream. It’s an issue to me when the kids who called me a Satan worshipper when I was a kid wearing a slayer shirt are now going “dude have you heard of Slayer?!” Fucking hate those dudes.
@@RockyRMR I don't agree with J Dawg on much of anything cause I listen to much different music but I come here to watch him rip on bands and people. Lol ! Dude is honest though. Gotta love that.
@@RockyRMR It surprises me how common it is for people to associate two completely different bands. I was at a food truck once wearing a Revocation shirt and the girl cashing me out asked me if I liked Shinedown. I was almost embarrassed for her.
@@mickeylilly6057 Someone once said that most people treat music as a casual art form. They're more likely to take movies, games, and comics more seriously than music. So yeah, makes sense.
Yep!! but...honestly the 2nd Machine Head album 'The More Things Change' 1997 has some decent songs on there...'Struck A Nerve' 'Bay of Pigs' 'Ten Ton Hammer' etc. Can't stand anything else they did though!!
I've been dealing with the posers since preschool. Here I am listening to Iron Maiden, Riot, Metallica, and stuff like that while everyone else was listening to The Wiggles.
There’s no danger in the scene anymore.Collector’s with neck beards.Even tattoos are not outsider/rebellious anymore.I don’t really care either way,each to their own but it’s just a reality.
I can't stand those bastards. That's why I hang out in the NSBM scene. Probably that last true underground frontier. None of those pink panty wearing posers are going anywhere near that hateful shit.
Same. I don’t care if some girl who doesn’t know a lick about metal wears a Slayer shirt. It might bring a few new fans who might end up liking Mortician or Nunslaughter in a year or two
Who needs the pyro and gimmicky "show" bs, i just need the bands to play their shit and sound good, i should almost be able to enjoy the show blind as much as someone who could see, when i think of "put on a show" i think of Slipknot, you brought up Cannibal Corpse, i think their stage presence is perfect, no more no less
Here is a question, I-Dawg: did you ever get any of the Rockdetector A to Z books by Garry Sharpe-Young? Kind of the precursor to the Metal Archives. I got (and still have) The A to Z of Death Metal and the the A to Z of Black Metal.
I have the Ozzy Osbourne band Rock Detector book. It's pretty cool. Unauthorized. It has interviews with guys like Bernie Torme and Brad Gillis, dudes who had very minimal but interesting involvement.
Hailz from Canada j-dawg! Question- what do you think of corosegrinders other work such as paths of possession(had one album I thought was awesome) his album with that douchebag from that rock band can't remember the name...and did you hear the track he did on the jasta album? I'd think that song was too mainstream,meaning boring for ya?
Ever heard those pop rock bands the kids call metal like Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate? It's pop rock and kids get mad when you tell then it's not metal. Fucking horrible!🤘😵
I started with stuff like slipknot when I was like 13, within a couple years I had started discovering Deicide and Morbid Angel for the first time… and there is a difference. Slipknot had a few songs tht were actually agressive, but it’s not even close to the amount of just pure brutality youd experience with bands like Deicide, Behemoth, Dark Throne, Gorguts, Bolt Thrower, Obituary, etc. two totally different worlds and two totally different fucking crowds.

About Instagram, did you know that you can determine whether your video only stays up for a while or stays there as long as you like?

Hey jdawg! I know I’ve seen people ask you this but I don’t think I’ve ever heard your answer, but I am really curious to know what you think about Arghoslent? Also I wanna say and I don’t even give a fuck, but I think gatekeeping is a good thing. Like in the last few years I’ve seen more and more people that have no business in the scene cry about gatekeeping when really let’s be real, this shit isn’t for the weak.

I knew someone who was into Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails and walked in on me listening to Ancient's "The Cainian Chronicle" and gave me a weird look. I thought he was into alternative music. More like he was into poser music. That being said Lord Kaiaphas is pretty out there.
Oh shit it took me a while to realize who you were talking about, but isn’t that the guy that was in gbk’s early stuff that they make fun of a shit load in interviews? Haha
J Dawg, I know you’ve said before that you’re a big Misfits fan, but what’s your take on Samhain? Personally it’s my favorite Danzig related project by far. Cheers my man!
I'm not gonna lie I have plenty of friends that love deathcore and Korn and slipknot but those same people throw down with dying fetus and cannibal corpse and alot of brutal death metal.its just younger kids gateway to heavy music was nu metal and deathcore
I have a simple system for weeding out shitty gay bands, even if they're lumped into the metal category for some reason. If the name is an actual phrase or contains MY - avoid. E.g. My dying bride, bring me the horizon. Question - have you ever encountered a band that you didn't want to check out just because of the name, but then discovered it was great? I stayed away from Aura Noir for quite a while cause it just sounded kinda goth to me. Obviously when I did overcome the aversion i realised that boy, was I wrong...
@@humanbrisket7718 they were a bit of a disappointment for me as a kid. I had never heard of pitch shifting, and I thought those guys were actually making those noises with their guts. When it turned out not to be true felt cheated
I remember making that same observation way back when. It's almost like they're advertising that they have bad music. As for My Dying Bride, I personally wouldn't lump them into that category as I think they're pretty respectable, but I can see how certain doom and gothic bands might rub people the wrong way.
Look at the album covers also you can tell the real metal bands from the fake ones 😂 pretty much 95 percent of the upcoming new releases on iTunes is poser shit
Pantera are nice , early slipknot and marilyn manson has some banger tracks ...korn sucks system of a down sucks .. just my opinion..i dont give a shit i like a couple deathcore bands too
todays gateway bands are horrible so if somebodies gateway band is early Slipknot, you are good.All those Slipknot dudes have their background in early US death and thrash metal scene as well so they are mostly OK. say what you want but this song slays ua-cam.com/video/-BHOnbppO0o/v-deo.html r.ip Joey
Today's gateway bands are the same as they have been for the past 30 to 50 years: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Deep Purple, Pantera, Motorhead, Slayer etc. These are gateway metal bands. Slipknot & all of those other gay bands are a completely different genre of music, they are not metal at all. If some of the Slipknot guys were really into death & thrash metal, they would still be playing it. They were probably in those bands, just to be in a band.
Not necessarily man...90s Deicide (Once Upon The Cross + Serpents of the Light) had simplistic and typical songwriting structures. Lots of respectable bands did actually, I think it's really all about the riff and the more 'low-brow' aggression put into the music. If someone considers Judas Priest a 'metal band'...they really weren't too far off from being a pop band (they just had heavier guitars and vocals for their time).
I wouldn't worry too much about being called a gatekeeper, gatekeeping isn't inherently bad people have just been brainwashed to think it is, gatekeeping is necessary.
100% agree! If not for gatekeeping I would hate to imagine what the metal scene would be like.

Being called a gatekeeper or an elitist is a compliment. It means you're not a gay wimpy poser.

QUESTION
Digipaks or jewelcases?
We all know digipaks suck. Can you please repress the Regurgitation cd in a standard jewel case?
I am in the minority I like digipacks! They remind me of the lp version but I see how they suck if they break and can’t hold the cd
Yeah I hate digipaks but it’s a cheaper option. I’ll only grab it if it’s the only release or a long over due reissue.
