Thank God you brought back the "here's the thing" clip. I remember seeing that clip for the first time on one of your videos with my aunt Jenn. RIP Jenn. Taken way too soon.
I worked in a record store from 2000-2010 and there was a guy who worked at the grocery store near by, he came in weekly for YEARS asking, when Dat Chinese Democracy gonna come out? Finally the day arrived when Chinese Democracy was actually out! He got his album and we never saw him much after that, but when we did, you could see the look of disappointment permanently on his face. He was a changed man.
I worked at Target when it came out. I got in trouble when a coworker called over the walkie-talkie "I have a customer who wants the new Guns N Roses album?" And I replied "Why?"
@@ereignishorizontab7218I don't think any music streaming service provides that information. Also did you actually listen to more Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, and Ice Spice than the new Metallica record? No you probably didn't.
Dang, I actually really enjoyed the new Pearl Jam album. First one I've checked out since like the '90s, and even though you've gotta read lyrics while you're listening like you're watching a foreign movie with subtitles, I think it's pretty okay.
I appreciate you putting some respect on Judas Priest's name, despite them not really aligning with your personal tastes! My personal favorite band of all-time. Love watching your channels even if I don't always agree with you - you always state your points well and are among the most engaging music youtubers. Your haters don't know what they're talking about - it's important interact with people you don't always agree with, and do it in good faith. It's called a discourse or conversation. We don't always align, like I said, but I always appreciate your perspectives!
Couldn't agree more. This is why I watch Finn. I don't agree with some of his views but to stay open-minded you should challenge your beliefs often. Anyway, wouldn't it be boring to watch only people you agree with? 😅
Jerry Cantrell is a goated musician. To be able to keep Alice In Chains going after Layne passed on and still put out great music is a testament to his skill and creativity.
I had a beer with Jerry, once. it was rad. his solo, roots/country-ish stuff is incredible. I prefer Jerry solo over newer AiC. but I prefer OG AiC over Jerry solo. all good music, though. 😎
I'm not trying to start an argument but I grew up with grunge but I (and my best mate) could never get into AIC. Layne's voice (great as it is) just grates on me.
To be fair, if they just renamed the band "Axl Rose & the Guns", Chinese Democracy was decent. It's got great power ballads, and any song Buckethead was on has great guitar sections.
i'd say Judas Priest somehow sounded more fresh than Mehtallica, considering that the former literally brought in the Godfather of Modern Metal himself, Andy Sneap.
Something about a bunch of grandpas playing heavy metal (or punk for that matter) doesn't feel right. And how much can you squeeze out of a single genre? The peak of musical creativity for bands like Priest and Maiden was like 35 years ago, Painkiller and Seventh Son.
The last two Judas Priest albums have actually been quite amazing - as good as any of their classic stuff. And that's no bullshit. Spot on, there with the placement for Invincible Shield. I give credit to Richie Faulkner for coming in and really giving those guys a shot of adrenaline - his writing and playing are top-notch. And Priest sounds like themselves again.
@@volodymyrbilyk555came here to say it was Sneap who really brought the best out!! Both members have done a great job at continuing the legacy, regardless!!
Along with Priest, Uriah Heep has absolutely been knocking it out of the park recently too.Those two acts have daylight between them and any of their contemporaries who are still going.
I saw the Offspring last year and it was definitely a lot of fun. With that said, they played that song and it felt like the entire crowd was just 😐 and was already ready for the next song 🥴
@lil8iTcH honestly don't know if you're being serious or not, I'm sure he has enough down time over the years to check in on these bands and spend an hour here and there listening to an album
@dumpsterfire79 this guy streams and uploads like every day and has a child. No way he's listened to more than like 5 of the albums on this tier list. It's delusional to think otherwise
Oooof... I forgot about Danzig sings Elvis. So, he did a few shows, specifically singing Old Crooner Classics, and it seemed like he was in on the joke. Having been nick-named "Evil Elvis" for years. Then he got really serious about it, recorded like 20 songs as Elvis, and got in a fight with his fanbase about which ones he should release, and put that out. Ouch.
Green day is amazing i know theyve had ups and downs but please respect them they are the band that made me get into song writing But blink also did get me into it but green day was first
Chinese Democracy is an Axl Rose solo album. Izzy Stratland was the main songwriter and arranger for Guns. Even though Slash and Duff have had some great music with their projects, it's still not Guns. Even with Duff and Slash playing on the CD outtakes, it's not Guns. The last original music we got (and probably ever will get) from GnR are the Illusions records.
Nice to see Finn building bridges with Classic Metal fans by ranking Judas Priest S-Tier. His redemption arc has begun! Next step is to put Helloween S-Tier in another video to heal the Power Metal wounds and the redemption arc will finally be complete.
@@MofosOfMetal I think power metalers should start clinging onto albums like Painkiller as being power metal classics as their view of over the top choruses wears thin after hearing Dream Theatres one good album and that one Italian bands good album
@@queensofthedthrone8267 Painkiller is definitely a borderline Power Metal album and the genre is very diverse. There's a lot of great bands that exist in the middle-ground between "Classic/Trad Metal" and full-blown "Power Metal". The band Primal Fear debuted in 1997 - they essentially based their sound off Painkiller and they were marketed as a Power Metal band.
I don’t believe Rob halford has ever smoked or drank or done any drugs. He knew he had to protect and preserve his voice if he wanted a career. A true legend
The best thing about The Offspring’s record is that Todd Morse from H2O plays bass full time since this record, and is probably making good money for an old NYHC guy. The Danzig record is great…if you’ve never heard Elvis sing Elvis songs, or the millions of other people who have also done Elvis songs.
I remember Dexter Holland from the Offsping saying in interview that they had to be talked out of naming one of their albums Chinese Democracy, they wanted to do it just to piss Axl Rose off.
Judas Priest's key move was adding Andy Sneap, one of the top metal producers, as touring guitarist when Glenn Tipton got too old to tour. I've loved them since 1977 and even I'm shocked at how good they are now, as good as they've been in 30 years.
Tesla into the now album in 2004 was such an amazing album for the time and especially for a legacy band. They made the music sound like it was supposed to sound in 2004.
Chinese Democracy apologist in here. Could be trimmed to 9 tracks without issue. If you like guitar solos and have the bitrate and speakers to match up to the studio fetishism then there's fun to be had. That Dream Canteen album I thought was musically decently fully marred by Anthony Kaedis singing and lyrics.
@@r.b.rozier9692 haha for some reason it hasnt bothered me on any of thier other releases. Love Mothers Milk and BSSM but im not sure why it stuck out on dream canteen. Maybe he wasnt giving it enough beans?
God I love Judas Priest. I don’t listen to them much but I had a phase in middle school. Got to see them and thought they’d be washed up then because they were so old at that time. They still got it 10 years later! They’re the definition of LEGENDS 🤘🏼 Around the same time, we saw AC/DC, and it was comical in comparison.
Also, I usually stand by even my past music choices, but Finn bringing up Methods of Mayhem is one of the rare instances I can think of looking back and I wonder what I was on at the time. I'm ashamed to admit I bought and listened to that MoM record for a hot minute. Father forgive me. Edit: Thank you for being fair to Slipknot, Finn. 👍
Rob Halford looks like satanic Santa and I mean that as an absolute compliment. The past two Judas Priest albums are phenomenal. Rob still sounds like he’s in his 30s.
Some I can think of are Dinosaur Jr, Mission of Burma, The Pop Group, The Clean, Failure, Shiner, Hum, Swervedriver, Jerome’s Dream, Daughters, and My Bloody Valentine.
Speaking of Weird Al and the offspring, I only knew Pretty Fly for a Rabbi by Weird Al, and the first time I heard the real song I was amazed at how much it still sounded like Weird Al.
Finn: Ranking new albums by classic rock bands! Me: Oh, he's going to talk about the new AC/DC and Rolling Stones albums. Finn: Green Day and Cannibal Corpse put out some solid new albums recently! Me: I'M OOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA as Billie Joe himself once famously said very publicly "I'VE BEEN AROUND SINCE NINETEEN EIGHTY FUCKING EIGHT" so I believe this. How as 198-fucking-8 almost 40 years ago 😢, I was in first grade then.
Dookie was one of my favorite albums of the 90's. Not only was it perfect from front to back, but it kicked the door to the world of punk open to me, (along with Rancid). The next thing I knew I was listening to Op Ivy and skate punk like NOFX, Pennywise and Bad Religion, and that got me into Sex Pistols, Ramones, Minor Threat, Black Flag, etc. Green Day was instrumental the punk revival of the 90's as Nirvana was for making Alternative Music mainstream.
Dookie rocks. Tre Cool was a monster on that album. But it seems like his drumming became a little too subdued post-Dookie, and their music suffered as a result. (I get the feeling Billy Joe told Tre Cool to "tone it down a bit").
One 🌟 for Fin for putting Invincible Shield at S. However ill still never forgive you for slandering Euro metal and lumping Polaris in with Wage War. Clearly Polaris are the better band. More content for you Fin. Band rivalry tier list. Metallica vs Megadeath, Maiden vs Priest. Battle Beast vs Beast in Black. Sound Garden vs Pearl Jam. Nightwish vs all ex vocalists
I feel like the offspring unfairly catches a lot of shit for their more light-hearted almost like meme singles (pretty fly for a white guy, original prankster, why don't you get a job, etc) I still over 25 years later will catch myself humming the vocal melody to "the kids aren't alright" they're absolutely masters of writing catchy shit for their genre. That being said their newest album definitely wasn't my cup of tea but putting it next to Delvis and Chinese Democracy seems harsh lmao. to each their own. great vid finn.
I’m old now and so obviously my favorite bands are all legacy bands at this point, and as much as I love the Smashing Pumpkins, they’ve put out several mid to bad albums in a row and it makes me sad. Oceania was great but nothing past that has been good.
Hey could you maybe do a video on bands & or artists that you don't like any of there songs however you still think there talented and have lots of potential in the music industry?
Nice video. Why don't you do a series on the pinnacle of metal -> Thrash metal from 83 till now and all the waves and the most important bands etc. A ton of cool stuff. Imo Thrash + Classic metal is the best metal that is non cringe, there are also new/modern thrash and classic metal bands that are great so its not stuck in the past. Its just something that works well.
Danzig doing Elvis has finally made The King leave the building forever It sounds like Glenn downed a few bottles of wine popped a couple Valium then hit his home studio to lay down the tracks 😮😅😅😅😅
I loved Death Magnetic, first CD I bought when I started buying CD’s. But honestly I still think St. Anger is the best thing since the black album they put out. I’ve felt that way for the past 15 years. Glad it’s getting more recognition
I just got my hands on the first NOFX EP, the one that says “all drums recorded by our old drummer Eric standen.” my buddy buys surfboard from smelly and I’m going to see if he’ll sign it next time my buddy goes to pick up a new surfboard.
I listened to a few songs from Chinese Democracy a few months and actually liked it. Does it sound like Appetite for Destruction? Certainly not, but i liked what i heard🤷🏼 To be fair i actually kinda like Danzig’s voice (while recognizing he sounds like he’s lacking technically) and the Elvis covers sounded good to me, so…
For context. I saw the offspring a few months ago. They did play a single song from the new album other than gone away which was a piano cover of an older song
Offspring "Ixnay on the Hombre" was the latest I could take a bit seriously. Within that window of skate-punk, that album was good. After that I'm with Finn, they went Wierd Al.
Mad respect for putting Judas Priest on the S Tier; mind-blowing how good that album is. Chinese Democracy is by far G'N'R's worst album, but I still enjoy it, and it deserves at least a C Tier. Chili Peppers' last album was not very good, but Unlimited Love, its companion album, was surprisingly good, IMO, and is a solid A Tier (with the caveat that you ACTUALLY enjoy anything they did after Blood Sugar Sex Magic).
I wouldn't say I'm an Offsprings fan, but i enjoyed thier first couple albums as a 90s kid. But when you put on that new album of thiers... it kinda ruined my morning.
Way late to the party on this, but: It's me, the Danzig Sings Elvis enjoyer. Love both artists and I think Danzig did some good covers. Also, I think Through The Mists Of Time was a bizarre choice to represent AC/DC's Power Up. Shot In The Dark is a much better song. Not their best album by a long shot, but still solid.
S - Judas Priest (Absolutely amazing album. I don't know how they do it.) B - Metallica (Its okay but kinda long like alot of their albums. It has some good moments.) C - Cannibal Corpse (okay album but nothing original. Problem is alot of their albums sound alike due to their technical style.) C - AC/DC (awesome band but everything sounds the same) D - Red Hot Chilli Peppers (yeah not my thing really. They've been kinda up and down over the years. I like some albums) D - GnR (Its just a solo album for Axl at this point. I don't really have interest in hearing all of it. Too experimental and modern) D - Pearl Jam ( i think they kinda dropped after the first album. The 2nd album okay but this new stuff not my thing) D - Danzig (Yikes this sounds pretty bad it makes me sad because i like Danzig. Production on later stuff after D4 has been poor) D - Slipknot (not my thing. I liked their first album but after that they kinda suck lol) Hot Garbage - Green Day, NOFX, The Offspring (they sucked then and they suck now. I don't know how people could like this.)
@@mike04574 Because Green Day is pop punk and not very good at it. Cannibal Corpse are way more interesting even this late in their years. Danzig's worst album is easily better than Green Day's best.
I was genuinely surprised that Finn didn't see Saviors as the shit tier album it was, while also acknowledging that it is the best thing they've done since American Idiot
Best thing i never did was get a Red Hot Chili Peppers tattoo. I played bass as a 90s kid and loved everthying they did up to Blood Sugar, thought they were one of my favorite bands as a 10-13 year old. But yeah they changed directions pretty hard. Growing pains...
Used to be...was briefly into The Offspring until I moved onto better things. Can't believe that I ever listened to Pretty Fly For A White Guy. The Noose might be one of their better ones along with the early TSOL influenced stuff like Beheaded. Beheaded is a decent horror punk song.
Cannibal corpse should drop a song on April fools day where it’s just acoustic and clean and announce a change in style before dropping another album. Easiest way to be the most talked about band for a while
Cannibal Corpse is one of the few classic bands who has been extremely consistent even 30 years into their careers. Chaos Horrific is one of their best albums ever imo
Its always said that Dookie was great then Green Day had a few low point albums blah blah but to me Insomniac was one of the highlights of their career. My favorite album.
Thank God you brought back the "here's the thing" clip. I remember seeing that clip for the first time on one of your videos with my aunt Jenn. RIP Jenn. Taken way too soon.

Dookie was one of my favorite albums of the 90's. Not only was it perfect from front to back, but it kicked the door to the world of punk open to me, (along with Rancid). The next thing I knew I was listening to Op Ivy and skate punk like NOFX, Pennywise and Bad Religion, and that got me into Sex Pistols, Ramones, Minor Threat, Black Flag, etc. Green Day was instrumental the punk revival of the 90's as Nirvana was for making Alternative Music mainstream.
Amen, and then they had to make music past the 2010s...oof. nothing ruins a punk band like becoming the establishment
Dookie rocks. Tre Cool was a monster on that album. But it seems like his drumming became a little too subdued post-Dookie, and their music suffered as a result. (I get the feeling Billy Joe told Tre Cool to "tone it down a bit").
@@benjaminwatt2436 totally agree
Justice for Pearl Jam. The new album is really good for a band 35 years in.
Second song on new PJ album rocks!
One 🌟 for Fin for putting Invincible Shield at S. However ill still never forgive you for slandering Euro metal and lumping Polaris in with Wage War. Clearly Polaris are the better band. More content for you Fin. Band rivalry tier list. Metallica vs Megadeath, Maiden vs Priest. Battle Beast vs Beast in Black. Sound Garden vs Pearl Jam. Nightwish vs all ex vocalists
I feel like the offspring unfairly catches a lot of shit for their more light-hearted almost like meme singles (pretty fly for a white guy, original prankster, why don't you get a job, etc) I still over 25 years later will catch myself humming the vocal melody to "the kids aren't alright" they're absolutely masters of writing catchy shit for their genre. That being said their newest album definitely wasn't my cup of tea but putting it next to Delvis and Chinese Democracy seems harsh lmao. to each their own. great vid finn.
Great video as always.
Hey Finn- out of curiosity, when you do lists like this, are you listening to a song or go through the entire album?
Ive heard all these before
Danzig made an album recording himself doing Karaoke at the bar😂
I’m old now and so obviously my favorite bands are all legacy bands at this point, and as much as I love the Smashing Pumpkins, they’ve put out several mid to bad albums in a row and it makes me sad. Oceania was great but nothing past that has been good.
The new Priest is f****** amazing. It's giving painkiller 🔥
Hey could you maybe do a video on bands & or artists that you don't like any of there songs however you still think there talented and have lots of potential in the music industry?
Nice video. Why don't you do a series on the pinnacle of metal -> Thrash metal from 83 till now and all the waves and the most important bands etc. A ton of cool stuff. Imo Thrash + Classic metal is the best metal that is non cringe, there are also new/modern thrash and classic metal bands that are great so its not stuck in the past. Its just something that works well.
Danzig doing Elvis has finally made The King leave the building forever It sounds like Glenn downed a few bottles of wine popped a couple Valium then hit his home studio to lay down the tracks 😮😅😅😅😅
HERE’S THE FINN!
I loved Death Magnetic, first CD I bought when I started buying CD’s. But honestly I still think St. Anger is the best thing since the black album they put out. I’ve felt that way for the past 15 years. Glad it’s getting more recognition
Wait, you mean the same St. Anger that sounded like it had been recorded using kitchen pots and pans instead of a drumkit?
@@ROMANTIKILLER2the only thing that sounds remotely like a kitchen pan is the snare, the rest of the drum kit is fine.
Something fairly different. Loving it!
I just got my hands on the first NOFX EP, the one that says “all drums recorded by our old drummer Eric standen.” my buddy buys surfboard from smelly and I’m going to see if he’ll sign it next time my buddy goes to pick up a new surfboard.
Would have liked to see blink 182’s new album “one more time” here
21:55 “… not the same without Paul or Joey.” True… but God, they lucked out hiring Eloy. That drummer is a freaking beast.
I listened to a few songs from Chinese Democracy a few months and actually liked it. Does it sound like Appetite for Destruction? Certainly not, but i liked what i heard🤷🏼
To be fair i actually kinda like Danzig’s voice (while recognizing he sounds like he’s lacking technically) and the Elvis covers sounded good to me, so…
I agree about Chinese democracy but you lost me on the Elvis thing.
Straight up I think invincible shield is second only to painkiller in Judas priest's discography
Esp Panic Attack gave me major Painkiller vibes
For context. I saw the offspring a few months ago. They did play a single song from the new album other than gone away which was a piano cover of an older song
Load and reLoad were awesome
Offspring "Ixnay on the Hombre" was the latest I could take a bit seriously. Within that window of skate-punk, that album was good. After that I'm with Finn, they went Wierd Al.
Americana had some tunes but Ixnay and Smash are peak everything else gets progressively worse. Ixnay and Smash are so good though. So good.
Mad respect for putting Judas Priest on the S Tier; mind-blowing how good that album is.
Chinese Democracy is by far G'N'R's worst album, but I still enjoy it, and it deserves at least a C Tier.
Chili Peppers' last album was not very good, but Unlimited Love, its companion album, was surprisingly good, IMO, and is a solid A Tier (with the caveat that you ACTUALLY enjoy anything they did after Blood Sugar Sex Magic).
Bless you Finny for putting the Metal Gods in the S tier! Rob Halford is the dad I wish I had.
Rob Halford is in his seventies and sings better than most people a third his age. It's unreal
I wouldn't say I'm an Offsprings fan, but i enjoyed thier first couple albums as a 90s kid. But when you put on that new album of thiers... it kinda ruined my morning.
i like when danzig does the crooner sound, he has a nice voice. idk that album, but i'd check it out
Love 72 Seasons. Total NWOBHM throwback. Best since the Black
Way late to the party on this, but: It's me, the Danzig Sings Elvis enjoyer. Love both artists and I think Danzig did some good covers.
Also, I think Through The Mists Of Time was a bizarre choice to represent AC/DC's Power Up. Shot In The Dark is a much better song. Not their best album by a long shot, but still solid.
S - Judas Priest (Absolutely amazing album. I don't know how they do it.)
B - Metallica (Its okay but kinda long like alot of their albums. It has some good moments.)
C - Cannibal Corpse (okay album but nothing original. Problem is alot of their albums sound alike due to their technical style.)
C - AC/DC (awesome band but everything sounds the same)
D - Red Hot Chilli Peppers (yeah not my thing really. They've been kinda up and down over the years. I like some albums)
D - GnR (Its just a solo album for Axl at this point. I don't really have interest in hearing all of it. Too experimental and modern)
D - Pearl Jam ( i think they kinda dropped after the first album. The 2nd album okay but this new stuff not my thing)
D - Danzig (Yikes this sounds pretty bad it makes me sad because i like Danzig. Production on later stuff after D4 has been poor)
D - Slipknot (not my thing. I liked their first album but after that they kinda suck lol)
Hot Garbage - Green Day, NOFX, The Offspring (they sucked then and they suck now. I don't know how people could like this.)
how is green day below bands like danzig and cc?
@@mike04574 Because Green Day is pop punk and not very good at it. Cannibal Corpse are way more interesting even this late in their years. Danzig's worst album is easily better than Green Day's best.
I was genuinely surprised that Finn didn't see Saviors as the shit tier album it was, while also acknowledging that it is the best thing they've done since American Idiot
@@deadliestassassin3092 nah their worst album is not better than dookie . Even a guy like finn who isnt a big fan of greenday would say so
@@mike04574 Green Day are just not my thing lol.
I love how I totally disagree with almost all of your opinions but Im still watching your videos
Best thing i never did was get a Red Hot Chili Peppers tattoo. I played bass as a 90s kid and loved everthying they did up to Blood Sugar, thought they were one of my favorite bands as a 10-13 year old.
But yeah they changed directions pretty hard. Growing pains...
Used to be...was briefly into The Offspring until I moved onto better things. Can't believe that I ever listened to Pretty Fly For A White Guy. The Noose might be one of their better ones along with the early TSOL influenced stuff like Beheaded. Beheaded is a decent horror punk song.
Cannibal corpse should drop a song on April fools day where it’s just acoustic and clean and announce a change in style before dropping another album. Easiest way to be the most talked about band for a while
I think this particular tier list needed the D and E tiers back.
If "This I Love" from Chinese Democracy would come out in their prime, the song would be HUGE.
I'm sorry, but the new Pearl Jam must be the best album of 2024 so far
THANK YOU!!!
Good morning kids
It’s goodnight for me lmao
Good morning dad
I'm a rat is the first NOFX song I heard and they got me with it I love it
You always start at dookie with greenday. Sometimes you mention kerplunk. Any thoughts on smoothed out slappy hours?
You went really light on green day and nofx 😂 i get it though
I am an Offspring fan, but even I agree about “Let the Bad Times Roll.”
Cannibal Corpse is one of the few classic bands who has been extremely consistent even 30 years into their careers. Chaos Horrific is one of their best albums ever imo
In Flame's new album was pretty good.
72 seasons from Metallica is an amazing album. What kind of dumbasses are saying it's a horrible album?
Its always said that Dookie was great then Green Day had a few low point albums blah blah but to me Insomniac was one of the highlights of their career. My favorite album.
My dude in the chat that said "Hasn't Elvis suffered enough?" coming in with the clinch victory for comment of the year 🤣🤣
