I’m a religious housewife with children ranging from preteen to toddler. I listen to metal with them, it’s music. If you are such a crap parent your children become BAD PEOPLE BY LISTENING TO SOUNDS the music wasn’t the problem, it’s you. Love your kids, raise them to be good humans and move the hell on.
I love your attitude about the kids. I'm a big metal head. I also love grunge. Grew up in the 80s and 90s. I have a policy with my teenage son in the car... you pick a song- I pick a song. I ended up at a Marshmello concert. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life. My kid made me a Marshmello fan. In return, he got every great band from 1960 to present!
10/10 people who give metal an actual chance end up loving it.
Not true.
I've been a metalhead since the early '70's and I can tell you that not everyone who gives it a good chance will learn to like it.
In my experience, the majority will enjoy some form of metal but not all genres.
Yea, nice thought, but not at all true
Not even close, probably less than half
Seeing & hearing that old intro made me miss it so much more than I already do. I have missed your old intro Geebz. Really I have!!
I missed that intro. Been awhile since I've seen a video. So busy these days. Good to see you again.
One of the things I love about Sleep Token and Spiritbox; very, very little swearing or obscene language (at least what I've heard thus far).
Happy Haircut!
You are loved & appreciated my guy!
My wife and I each have very broad music tastes and experience, but she gravitates toward country, whereas I gravitate toward metal/hard rock, and our 11 year old daughter has an appreciation for both and most everything between. I remember back in the mid 2000's toward 2010 when iTunes and iPod's were so prevalent; friends seeing or hearing my playlists and library and being SO confused haha... Mozart, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Soundgarden, Metallica, Chevelle, TOOL, Bach, Collin Raye, Evanescence, Eminem, etc., .... they couldn't figure out my music tastes AT ALL lol.
It's awesome that you enjoy so many styles!!
If you like Tool, have you tried Dream Theater ?
They are another progressive rock / progressive metal band but they have a different sound to Tool ! The Contortionist( one of my favourite bands ever) , the Mars Volta ( imagine crazy influences of jazz , punk , 70s prog rock and a lot more ) Leprous and Soen are some modern prog bands you might like
Also, it's worth giving Vivaldi , Sylvius Leopold Weiss, and one of my favourite composers, Ryuichi sakamoto, a chance 😊 you might already know them
Also ! Bands with some harsh vocals include- Between the Buried and Me, Native Construct ( released one amazing album and disbanded 😢. It's a masterpiece ! ) Tesseract and more !
Kids don't want to listen to the same music as their parents - unless they listen to metal! Because metal is more than just music: It's a way of life. Just check out the elderly bringing their kids and grandkids to festivals and concerts (way less common in any other genre). 🤟
when I was in school way back in the sixties we had a music teacher who showed us that there is no such thing as classical music and pop or any other genre there`s just music you like or music you don`t like. but if you don`t listen to everything available you miss so much good stuff. I m now in my sixties and I listen to everything from Abba to ZZ top! Music thats several centuries old to the newest hard rock bands. I tried to bring my children up with the same attitude .
Early on in your journey here, I commented on the kids covering 46&two. My daughter sang it at a school talent show and headbanged the entire outro. We listened to metal, and everything else.
She is now in college, and has great taste in music. Stone Temple Pilots is playing at her campus soon, and she is pretty excited to check them out. We send each other new music clips to try. I love her more than life itself.
My mom raised me with Led Zeppelin, Doobie Brothers, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Rolling Stones... so much music that would have been considered "heavy" for its day. My son got Metallica, Slipknot, White Zombie (as well as many of the bands I was raised with).... he is now into more Punk and Hardcore ( but also likes stuff like Devo) and is in 3 local bands playing guitar, bass and drums 😂 there was nothing with music I didnt allow in the home (with some guidelines for lyrics) and Im so glad he is passionate about music, even though he might not be able to make a career of it, he will always have that passion 😊
I was raised in the 90s with parents listening to the pop divas, latin-pop (they were ballroom dancers), mostly radio friendly songs like Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Whitney Houston, Ricky Martin, etc. I took piano lessons, but my interest in music was otherwise limited to what I was listening to in the car with my parents, and finding melodies by ear from the movies I liked as a kid. My then 20-something godfather gave 11yo me my first pop-punk album, which quickly, over the next 2 years or so, devolved into me progressively buying heavier and heavier albums going through punk-rock, hard rock, punk, hardcore punk, then metal and all the subgenres from there.
Today, my father who's in his 60s is still listening to a couple of artists I showed him as a teen, like System of a Down. My 6yo son loves metalcore/easycore/pop-punk like Beartooth, A Day to Remember, Four Year Strong. He told me he really doesn't like my more "screamy" stuff but he doesn't mind when I'm listening to it in the car. We take turns listening to what we want! He prefers dancy stuff - he LOVES Dua Lipa and similar nu-disco, as well as early 00s eurodance, for some reason. My 6 month old doesn't seem to mind either!
Personally, I broadened my horizons a whole lot since. There aren't many genres I can't find a song or two I enjoy, or at the very least understand the appeal. It's just music, and a whole ton of passionate people are now making more of it than there ever was and making it available. Sure, it's easier for the crap to get on some platform, but there are so many golden nuggets too. It's just music. As long as it makes you feel things, and you like what you felt, why the hell not?
I’ve always listened to rock/metal around my kid. When they were 11 I took them to see Ghost in concert, then Metallica when they were 12. They are now 17 and they got into Slipknot and lots of grunge bands on their own.
Miss that intro!
I found pop music early on, until my cousin and I started listening to his dad's vinyl collection. So I got the full headphone experience early.
Born in 88. My mom was super religious and my dad, not so much. I listened to country music because that is what my dad listened to. Eventually by the 6th grade classmates started making fun of my for listening to country but outside of contemporary Christian, it is the only thing I had ever heard before. Funnily enough those same preppy girls started loving country by the time we all got to high school. Anyway, one of my friends introduced me to the rock radio station when I was hanging out at his house swimming the summer after 6th grade. I think Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm might have been the first song I heard and it blew my mind. I instantly started listening to nothing but that radio station which played early 90s grunge to early 00s rock, stuff like Staind and Crossfade. I also started watching TLC on MTV when I got home from school to check out the top ten of the day. Song like Stellar by Incubus and Crawling by Linkin Park were at the top of the time. My mom decided to go even deeper into Christianity and told me I wasn't allowed to listen to the secular stuff anymore (of course I did anyway). But I did seek out some Christian rock and found some good stuff that I still listen to to this day, such as Project 86.
I listen to just about anything now from EDM, to rap to gothic americana, but I would say 90% of my listening is prog. I have a daughter who is 19mo old and she already has a wide taste in music I think. She'll dance to rock, she'll dance to rap, she'll dance to chillhop. She loves music. Once she's old enough to have her own playlist I'll be very interested to see what winds up on it.
Just ran into your channel, and off the Nightwish reactions right now. I'm a 80/90s kid, and there was a lot of different music, but Nightwish really jump started the whole symphonic metal with Tarja's magical voice. You have to understand that at the time this was almost unheard of, this operatic angel sort of descended into our dark and moody place and gave birth to this whole new established genre. The later singers were alright but the spark that she ignited at the time never really landed with them later on (for me).
My family doesn't really vibe with metal all that much and the range of stuff I listen to nowadays is pretty wide, but I do play old Nightwish song around the wife and kids and they seem to like it. Whereas they can't really handle the rougher stuff of other bands. But I do get this vibe that "oh it's that spooky old music dad likes" when they hear it, much like I had with my old man listening to folk stuff or something. They can swallow it for a song or two but it's not really their thing and probably never will be.
Thank you Geebz
I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, The Beatles, 80's Genesis + Phil Collins, tons of classical music, some Israeli folk music, spanish guitar music.. by ages 9-10 i was heavily into pop via MTV, and when i was 13 I was turned on to Nirvana, and after 2 years i became a full on metalhead up until this day.
I assume the pivot to Rock+Metal was a rebellion against pop/parents, that's why I expose my 6 year old to a wide variety of genres, so she can too become a metalhead in adulthood :)
Love the Rock a mole
I personally exposed my son to metal and pop rock when he was very young and then opened his eyes to country, jazz and classical from Four Seasons to the more Symphonic and bombastic pieces I could find. He loves music of all kinds. The only thing I ever told him is to listen for creativity and musicianship. The lyrics don't have to me poetic and the music doesn't have to be sublime to be enjoyable. The White Stripes and Rob Zombie are examples.
For me my mom was huge into the metal of her day, but I grew up on hip-hop and dance music of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s but by the time I got to middle school I got into more contemporary metal after hearing it on MTV and such and so I started branching out and listening to newer metal around the house and in the car and my mom really loved the newer stuff! Linkin Park became her new favourite band, she bought normally bought metal albums for me, but she bought Linkin Park albums for her.
Aloha Geebz! I don't have kids so can't provide a musical influence there, but my house is my neighbour's kids, second home. I go to gigs with their dad all the time. But the eldest is definitely into pop, the middle kid isn't really into music at all and the little one doesn't show a lot of interest yet, but when he was younger he would play The Grudge scream over and over, so me and his dad think he's going to be influenced the most by our music taste. Haha. But I think that music, in all of its formats, is extremely important for all ages. I went with my mum and watched a classic movie the other day that had a live orchestra playing the film score. Which was fabulous! I think that's what I enjoy most about your twitch streams, the diversity of music genres that is requested, and I have discovered new music to listen to just by being exposed to that. Love it! 🤘🏼
*edit - love the haircut!
One of the reasons i love your channel so much is that you effortlessly put across the genuine passion for music and its presence in humanity as it were. Anyone could ask the question “What experience do you have playing X music around your children?”, but simply adding “what do you see them make of it” speaks volumes of your intent and interest.
I’m in my mid 20’s and i can say for sure that what my parents had playing has an effect on me, but I actually dont listen actively to that music. Even the music my siblings played had a minor imprint on me, except that I would say that it gave me more stepping stones or guidelines as to what music I *really* wanted to listen to.
I found metal when I was 16. It wasn’t until then that I finally felt like I had found something I could deeply connect with on such a personal level, it really got me sunk into it. I mainly listen to Doom metal, although of course I have an appreciation for all forms lol.
The old intro was also a nice surprise!
Happy nearby/late birthday ❤
Rockamole lmao
Love this! You're such a cool dude! Been watching your stuff from the sidelines for a while and I love your vibe!
I grew up in a very conservative, religious family where both of my parents were staunchly against heavy metal for the obvious stereotypical reasons. I, myself, have a very broad, eclectic taste with the music I listen to, and as a musician myself, I find it important to have appreciation for different aspects of every type of genre. Both my husband and I listen to rock/heavy metal on a pretty normal basis, and what's great is our three and a half year old son loves it, as well! We, of course, keep it age appropriate, but he's already been trying to fry scream and death growl, so it's fun to watch. :) We think he's gonna be a performer or do music to some capacity as he gets older. He already tries to sing in key and use vibrato, he can play melody lines on the piano like how they sound on a recording, he's extremely good at memorizing songs, and he's got a rather good sense of rhythm! Only time will tell, but there's no pressure. :)
Super duper awesome !!
Music is so special!
Yes music is escape and motivation and it has helped me so much .
If I have children ,
I'll play them everything.
My parents raised me on a lot of grunge , rock , metal and many other things ! My Dad was both massively into Prince and Santana !
So .. I would try to show them music that doesn't terrify them 😂!
I think Muse is a band I love who are more accessible. I do realise their album Origin of Symmetry is crazy but that's actually my favourite next to either Black Holes and Revelations or The Resistance. Okay damn I can't choose. I love Drones and Showbiz and Absolution too.
loving grandpa geebz right now
I miss that intro!!
This man showed me Haken .. man .. what a band
I found them from him too but the cockroach king is just so fucking interesting. They have a few other awesome songs
If you like Haken , have you tried Dream Theater?
Also some of my favourite prog bands -
King Crimson, The Contortionist ( highly recommend Language and Clairvoiyant ) , Leprous , Soen , Tesseract and Karnivool
My wife is into Country and Pop... My 17yo son is into hip hop/rap. I only get to listen to my metal in the car or if they're out. They tolerate it for the most part LOL
"Born in the 1900s" Same man, same. Isnt short hair so niceee?!
YES for the short hair!!! :)
My dad was a major country guy but I got him into some metal
I remember my dad playing metal as a kid, so much so I hear certain songs and expect a certain song to come on after it. I know a lot of songs I didn't like until I had heard them a few times, kids don't get that now... at least as much, I have much more music than my parents did and they had a lot of music.
My kids love certain things I play though, all of a sudden I'll catch one of my girls singing along with something I didn't realise they'd have heard enough to actually know.
I have to fight for their musical souls though, if I don't introduce them to metal then all they'll have is so you think you can sing redoing pop from the 80's and current pop destined to be jingles for private health insurance or the new Kia.
Aloha brother ,
Let the nostalgia flow!!
Grew up in the 70s and my parents always had the radio on, usually something like The Carpenters or Freddy Fender or whatever came across the local station. Then they switched up and started listening to country.
When I hit 10 or so my older cousin moved in and she turned me onto The Stones, The Pretenders, Journey, ect.
It was my neighbors older brother that was rocking Iron Maiden!! I heard those guys and the rest is history 🤘🤘
Now I’m an old man of 52 and the music in my house influencing my kids is anything from The Animals to Thy Art is Murder!
Have a great week brother!
Awwwright!!!🤙
Love your shirt man. I have the exact same one. They're a wonderful band

I've been a metalhead since I was 8 years old, when my older cousin got me into Metallica and Maiden. I'd hoped to get my kids into the genre, but they can't stand "dad's loud noise". I blame my wife and her awful taste in music 😂 Hopefully they'll come around sometime 🤞🤘
In a metal head but will also play lots of other things but my son, my son listens to gangsta rap. I can’t handle it 😂
It's like any other genre, have to wade through all the shit to find the good stuff. I've been a metalhead for as long as I can remember, but the last few years I've gotten into Rap/Hip-Hop and Jazz Fusion, and even pop. It's been a pretty cool journey and I've found so many new favorite albums/artists.
Metal or popular music, movies, etc, whatever it is, we were very careful to make sure we introduce it "age appropriately", according to our personal thoughts and decisions on what that meant. Lyrics of some metal songs are very adult (in our opinion) and inspired by some ugly parts of life like abuse and drugs, etc. Not saying we shied away from those realities, but we felt it necessary to explain things and have open discussions about stuff like that when they were ready for it, rather than just blaring those ideas over the speakers into impressionable ears. To answer your question, after they grew up neither of them listen to heavy metal regularly.
I've got two kids, ones 7 the other is almost 2. They love the heavy stuff aswell as what the wife listens to. I encourage they have an open mind when it comes to music. I listen to some weird obscure deathmetal like Altars or Replicant - which I'll admit is an acquired taste, but I'll also jam Taylor Swift or some ScHoolboy Q lol each to their own, you like what you like. 🤷♂️
That's what I always liked about watching your videos, I admire your openness to things you don't nessisarily like and being able to find something you can dig. 🫡🤙
I’m a Gen z bassist and guitarist and I love metal!
