I like it when Fantano brings the Eric Andre editors on for a let’s argue episode
Lmao I couldn’t put my finger on it but Eric Andre is exactly it. Hope they keep doing more of it
Bird up
Crazy we're at a point where people don't know ThatIsThePlan.
Anthony was doing Eric Andre style videos before Eric Andre was. Like 2008.
@@THICCTHICCTHICC dawg I fucking know what thatistheplan is. 🤦♂️😂
Doug lussenhop, go look em up.
Can a gardening tool really be scared, Anthony?
🤓🤣
You watch a melon talk to us almost everyday and this is where you draw the line?
He's talking about bitches dude, and dogs are very scared of loud noise.
Now you're being racist AND misogynistic.
Holy crap that's such a good joke. How did you think of that impeccable wordplay?
When I first heard about Scaring the Hoes I pictured Danny Brown jumping out from behind a bush or something and yelling "BOO, HOES!!!!!" and I just can't stop laughing at that mental image. The best part is it feels like something Danny would actually do, like if tomorrow someone showed me a video of it really happening I wouldn't even be that stunned.
would be tough to do from rehab but yeah
This the funniest shit I've read today
Now imagine his goofy laugh immediately after he does it while he runs away into the night
I forcefully vaccinated an aborted foetus this morning against covid 19
Gotcha, hoes!
its been 10 years since "Scaring the hoes" dropped and I still get chills
my great grandfather used to play it on the flute during the civil war. one of the greatest times of my life
@@eric-ms3pz we lost a lot of good men out there
hoes were never the same after
9 actually
I swear I've seen this exact comment by you on like 10 videos, I might just being going insane though
As a spokesperson for the hoe community.. I can verify we are indeed scared. These times have been trying for us hoes and Ronnie Radke is just watching the world burn
BOO
As a spokesperson, would you say that Radke has lost his way?
@@TheAmazingClaytor I’d say his life is certainly like a video game, and he’s trying very hard to beat the stage.
Brad Tasters are starting to reach melonhead levels of ruining comments sections everywhere. HOO HAA
@@TheAmazingClaytor adding to owls comments, i would say that radke has lost his way again through the storm through the wind
I played Scaring the Hoes for my girlfriend and after the song (the title track) she turned to me and said 'okay but you don't actually like this do you?'
I wouldnt have played the title track for her. Thats a hard one to get into esepcially for a first time listener
@@bedebop3904 pretty sure this wasn’t meant to be a joke buddy
Play he Muddy Waters and then tell her your raw dogging. Great start in my eyes
The overlap of 'scared' and 'unimpressed' can be pretty heavy. If I showed you a song that sounded like a construction site, just loud whirring, beeping, and crashing (which is what I assume the album sounded like to the hoes) you'd not only be unimpressed by it, but a little scared of how unhinged I'd have to be to like it.
Maybe she's not a ho, so she wasn't scared by it.
that ending was absolutely vile
The cassette thing is interesting, I think it's making a comeback because people want a more tactile experience in things they do. Everything nowadays is a tap or long press you don't press buttons anymore. Even your phone can wake from tap nowadays.
humans like to feel things, same reason vinyl is coming back. its just fun!
mech keyboards
Hipsters. It's making a comeback because hipsters. Don't bother overthinking it. Everything about a cassette is inferior. I would know I have 220+
This is why I'm more of a videogame nerd than a music nerd.
... and why the motion control fad was such a curse.
@@itmeurdad I think you're just thinking very simple lol, he's right in the sense of a tactile experience with your music. I enjoy playing my vinyl through my record player way more than I do streaming. It helps that you actually own the music unlike streaming which I do like as well + its pretty cool to have the album art covers in real life, idk just feels cool and special.
I randomly say “stop scaring the hoes” in a Danny brown voice all the time.
Regular or rap voice?
@@CapnAkira high pitch rap voice
@@mcde27lil95 looks like I found a new hobby.
I feel like people that collect cassette's know they're shit and that's just part of the fun of it. Having a collection of new music in an outdated format is fun and they look cool.
They're fun to play with! Just another way to enjoy music :)
W I love my cassettes even with the knowledge that they're outdated. I pre-ordered the scaring the Hoes Cassette the other day :0
I work at a radio, someone sent us an ep on a floppy disk, I was more fascinated by the idea of what was inside than of what it would acctuelly sound like (I have no idea where to find a floppy reader).
exactly!! I know it's not hifi audio but people get real creative with the presentation and that's half the fun. I have just over a dozen tapes now, mostly from local bands, and it's just good fun.
Honestly it very much feels like a gimmick that artists go with as both an appeal to nostalgia and as a novelty. This isn't necessarily a condemnation mind you, as I'm a huge synthwave fan where cassette releases are pretty popular (relatively speaking) and makes sense given that the genre inherently plays off of the aesthetics and themes of the 80s, but I do have to wonder how much cassette releases make sense elsewhere.
Really love how these are getting more and more shitposty as time marches on
Maybe That is the plan 😎
@@thath09 yooooooo old heads rise up
my mom is 50 and liked scaring the hoes (granted she's into alt stuff but normally not into rap a lot so it was genuinely surprising)
Daft Punk did the right thing by retiring after RAM. Absolutely no way anybody can top that record. Truly a legendary career
There really is something to be said for "Leave em' wanting more." They gave so much, I'm perfectly happy with it ending.
@@Prederick a truly excellent artist knows when it's time to stop.
Yeah I mean they'd been active for like 20 years at that point and in that time they won grammies, scores films, released platinum albums and cemented themselves as pop culture icons with the helmets. At a certain point it's like, what more is there to do?
As a ho myself, the only thing that scared me about that album was almost spraining my neck cause it's a headbanger.
Garden tools have necks and heads????
@@Joshuwatttt-zb7di yeah, otherwise it's just a wooden handle
You can tell the thatistheplan in him is dying to come out. He's been held back for too long.
When I played Scaring the Hoes for my fiancé, she said “This hurts my brain.”
Editor definitely got a raise
Cassettes coming back are just a symptom of the streaming. Bands aren't making shit off their Albums from Streaming services. So they gotta milk their fans for a little extra cash.
the hoes scaring concept never stops to amaze me it's just too good and funny and so on
I love the editing in this one. Borderline experimental.
I played the album for a girl in my car and she confirmed it was scaring her
I love these fantano videos where the editing is randomly through the roof like once in every 15 vids
The meme value of these videos is insane
The intros keep getting more and more majestic with every video
The most majestic one was when he showed his thighs for the first time
Anthony was on something different this episode
Like the first 3 seconds of this one got me thinking it was another ad that hadn’t been skipped but the player bar showed otherwise lmao
I know
Wow antnee, another video timed for my birthday and my album of the year. You're the best
I've met Anthony and I can attest to his thickness (respectfully)
All I know is that when I was 17 I put on parquet courts light up gold at a small party and completely forgot about it until I heard a group of girls looking for the stereo so they could “turn off this weird shit”. Little did they know it was actually coming from my record player 🤣
I died at the title alone. Me and my girlfriend freaked out seeing the title. Huge fans of SCARING THE HOES. Still on repeat to this day. Every song.
Well it’s only been like 2 weeks lol
But are you scared?
No woman is scared of this album, this is probably both of their most accessible albums
@@id1550 Like you know any women
@@ashtagbeats I've listened to this album so much that it feels like it's been like three months.
(Usually when I listen to an album six times or more, it's been like a year or two since it came out).
the st anger arthur fist meme actually killed me enough to make this corny ass comment
Right?!?!
When did the intros stop being sick bass lines and start being unhinged neurodivergent insanity
Melon I needed this rn. Thank you
As a hoe, I can confirm I was quite terrified by the record
Wow that's crazy. Message me
@@inedibledorito you message me
Wait, you were terrified by The Record by BoyGenius?
@@Brokenscam That actually scares the bros.
@@happycamperds9917 Sis, stop playing The Record by BoyGenius.
You’re scaring the Bros.
Damn it's actually crazy y'all got Arca to produce the patreon special thanks music
anthony taking his glasses off made me realize how rich and deep his brown eyes are
if danny brown didn’t scare the hoes enough the final line of this video should do the trick
so glad this editing is back
6:18 I feel like reviewing movies and reviewing albums are just very different skill sets. They both involve writing about media, but they're just hard to compare due to the fundamentally different ways in which we experience and speak about the mediums.
For my part, I find it exceedingly easy to write reviews for films, but damn near impossible to write reviews for albums. I suspect this is because I've just been more exposed to film reviews than music reviews, so I've learned how to think about film in a more refined way.
Same here. I can write a movie review but album reviews are kinda hard for me.
"Scaring the hoes" is the kind of phrase that 25-year-old men use to describe harassing 13-year-old girls on TikTok
It does, I don’t know why they didn’t use the full line and call it “Stop scaring the hoes”.
I have never heard it used in that context lmfao what are you even talking about
13 year old tiktoks girls are actually really cool in real life. Some of them just made a tiktok of me working out and when I gave them a motivational speech they seemed to really click with it
@@AlejandroCastilloRapper I can’t even tell if this is satire anymore.
@@daviebananas1735 I’m 21 look 18 and I’m a local celebrity
the thing on cassettes is spot on for black metal bands who still put out cassettes
The cassette resurgence was caused by some prisons and jails won't allow cd players but will allow Walkmen and casettes, and then other artists followed suit chasing the niche.
This episode was the best yet somehow
in regards to the cassette tweet he responds to in the video: cassettes (as antnee said) can sound amazing on a mid to high end deck with freshly cleaned tape heads. especially if you got a type II /chrome tape and a player that has dolby noise reduction (so, any player before the early 00's), cassettes are absolutely a viable and high quality music medium. but, call me when 8-tracks come back.
Can't wait to hear that new Thomas Bangalter record, dude's a genius
Peggy and Danny didn't scare the hoes but I sure did😂😭(I will forever be lonely)
Same
Loving the editing on this one lol
Played Scaring the Hoes for the gf. Can confirm she was scared. That guy was capping
As someone that owns entirely too many vaporwave cassette tapes, I feel seen 😭❤📼
This one was extra spicy. Keep it up!
Anthony without glasses is just Cal Chucheska
without all the rizz
Young Tony Levin
The reviewing movies vs music take sent me spiraling
Edit; theirs not yours
Like, a good review means analyzing the elements of a production, and there are just objectively more elements to analyze in film.
You have to watch twice and take notes. Listening to an album twice is FAR easier and you can do that while cleaning your dishes
The lack of solos in St. Anger is fine. A good friend of mine *loves* the album for it. The snare sound is the main issue.
Also not that there's anything wrong with your video quality at all, but you can actually see contacts in people's eyes, not just in real life, but I've seen Markiplier's contacts when his editor shows a reaction shot.
I'd rather no solos, than an arbitrary solo in every song. Metal definitely had a problem with that at one point, where it was like everyone HAD to always include a guitar solo passage in every song... which resulted in droves of filler solos in songs that were already complete without them. It also just takes away the excitement when you can expect it in every song. It gets to a point where you know too much of what's coming and it stops being fun. Nobody out there is just churning out 10 minutes of amazing solo playing to fill-out an album. Some of them are going to be boring. It's not easy to write good, compelling, unique-sounding guitar solos to begin with, even for the best players. If you can't pull it off in such and such song, don't and the song will be better for it!
@@differentbutsimilar7893 yeah for sure. I love a good solo, but I understand people who don't like solos a lot better than I used to.
AC/DC is one of my favorite bands and every one of their solos is good
@@mortmortmort8908 AC/DC's method is all about feel though, nothing too superfluous. This gives them a consistency where you always get the things you expect, and it's always satisfying.
Truth be told, I didn't used to think like I do either. I've been playing guitar for 20 years, studied all of the greats, tried to unpack their techniques. Maybe I'm just jaded now, but I know that pressure all guitarists feel to show off. What kind of guitarist doesn't play solos, doesn't emphasize technique?
The problem I find is that when an artist focuses too much on displaying technique, the songwriting has to bend to accommodate it, becoming more predictable and less expressive... because the solo has to hit as the most expressive moment. Behind every great solo, is a cleverly-arranged structure that secretly supports it. And many structural elements limit the kind and amount of soloing you can do. Your songwriting basically has to be less diverse. It's why people who can do technicality AND songwriting are so championed.
I feel more like Kurt Cobain felt about it in his heyday. Kurt wasn't super-fond of the metal scene he grew up with - it made him want to identify more as a musician than a guitarist, because he saw them as being more interested in competing on guitar, while he was more interested in conveyance/feeling. That's the problem I now have, where I see guitarists including solos that serve little role in the song, because they are guitarists and that's their idea of what guitarists do. It's really deep in the culture because of the shred days, when men (and a few women) became gods at soloing.
A good example of this, that I have personally seen, is the lack of range some rock and metal guitarists have outside of soloing... I've met people that can do crazy improvised leads that I can't even comprehend in one go, but can't hold a steady, compelling strum pattern to save their lives. The soloing has a place, but AC/DC understood what that was. All of their solos serve to reinforce the rest of the song. I think people who take after the greats might've missed the fact that a solo is a part of the whole big picture of a song, that good songwriting comes first, and then if a solo makes sense, it can be the icing on the cake. None of the solos that guitarist love would ever have even been noticed by them if they hadn't had a backdrop of compelling music behind them. The solo doesn't make the song - its the other way around.
Anthony flirting with his audience for 8 minutes
Yeah but that back tho 😩
This video is a style BOMB I love it
Love the little Rock N Roll Is Dead snippet.
Top tier editing today crew
3:07 forever in my heart
That was honestly a great explanation of why we like tapes
That intro bred new life into me
The track suit looking fresh as hell.
FUUUUCK how am I supposed to make it through this video when that intro is so calming and peaceful and making me sleepy FUUUUCK
That last tweet and following response reminded me so much of Tim and Eric.
The fallout rads sound being used in this episode was a surprise but a welcome one
Not gonna lie, when 'tano took his glasses off he looked kinda pretty, his eyes look well moisturized
i think that DENSITY may be the hardest laugh tony has gotten from me
Let's agree: you need to review the new Sleep Token album when it drops next month
Big thanks to this video for giving me a better idea of how to pronounce Cicierega
I'm closing the segment after the big boi zone, you already have my like. onto the next video
I agree on the St Anger point you made. The way to fix the album isn't same production and better lyrics. It's better production with the same lyrics
For cassettes, a fresh cassette should sound just as good as it's source media, giving them the potential to sound better than a CD. I have cassettes because I like old cars as well as music.
Heeey, good to see Left At London sending in!
That into went hard
Da king is back baby he neva miss
That intro was fire you should be heavenly more often
7:27 THANK YOU!
top tier editing!
Thumbnail made it look like Anthony suddenly had a 90's Maynard-esque haircut.
INTRO OF AMAZINGNESS
billy cobb commenting? love 'make of this what you will'
7:54 wow Anthony I really see the Ami Yoshida influence here
I tried reviewing movies, but I end up repeating myself a lot. Video games are probably the easiest thing for me to review. I focus on how the concept takes form in the artistic expression of the medium, and video games are probably the most straightforward to come to consistent conclusions on.
Dang we just went up and out with this Anthony Wonka Vision over here.
It was MY proudest dap, thank you Anthony
whoever worte that st anger take forgot it spawned the best metallica lyrics of all time..
"MY LIFESTYLE.. DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE!!"
0:13 woah that moving cloud background gave me vertigo wtf?
The intro is magic 😂
when are you going to post the 72 Sessons review?
Left at London cameo was nice
I like your selection of Adidas jackets
absolutely zero shot a cassette sounds better than a CD but cassettes have their place, they introduce a unique sound and a nice physical interaction with the media
Anthony, could you perhaps do the thug shaker?
Honestly, elite content.
I actually think reviewing movies is easier than reviewing music because in my opinion it's far easier to pick out an objectively good movie than an objectively good album because If you don't enjoy a movie its probably more likely that it's a bad movie rather than it's just not for you which isn't the case for music so I main point is when it goes to deciding whether music is good or not I feel like it's really hard to give a song or album an objectively great rating if it's not your thong
Editing on this one goes crazy
Would Melon do an interview with Max and Chad on Cold Ones? Has he already said no?
This video is a classic
I used to be in a band circa 2017 & the only way to access our music was to either attend live shows or play our demo tape on cassette (I think we made like 50 copies or so), no footage exists online. I’m not sure how many are still out there, but we did have a dedicated few who wanted to listen to the music, so they grabbed the tape & hopefully played the hell out of it.
"if it dont clip imma dip" twitterer when she finds out about shitty speakers: 🤯
Man, your editor is insane
Density fantano got me quaking
Honestly, I think cassettes making a comeback purly has to do with economics. Though vinyl has always cost a lot more, the massive resurgance in popularity jacking up the price of vinyl has drivin away people with less disposable income. There is also the lack of ability as a smaller band to get a vinyl pressing in time for a release due to the high demand for vinyl pressings. It has created a huge barrer of entry for smaller bands and their fanbase for that format. Thus, tapes have become super attrictive again for the underground. They cost 10 bucks or less for the fan to get a physical format that just about any band can get manufactored for them. Assuming the materials and manufactoring process is more widely available compared to vinyl, it hopefully will sustain a boom in popularity that can likely happen the way vinyl did.
I ain’t readin allat
And because hipsters, maybe?
