Intros in many genres were much longer on the past, people's attention spans have just grown shorter and shorter and that's led to intros being super short to accommodate people's non existent attention spans.
While i do agree with this list !
About Blink 182 and Sex Pistols.
I think both are equally relevant to the Punk scene and music in general.
Its just that the 30/40 year olds from now remember Blink 182 from their young years. But the 60/70 year olds remember the Sex Pistols from their young years.
Those bands are equal for their generation.
And in another 30 years it will be another band for sure.
I remember your wife telling the same BMTH story in her own channel, it was hilarious lol. I believe it was in the "Scene Bands Tier List" video, I cracked pretty loud when she made fun of Danny Worsnop too lol
“Avril Lavigne is an honorary member of the djent community” - Finn Mckenty
Yeah that’s fine, Avril rips
If she get heavier after Under My Skin, today she would be screaming
-Colorized 2021
Okay, Finn IS funny. I'll give him that... 🦃🤣🦃🤣🤣🦃
Personally think that Sorry Your Not A Winner more than holds up to this day. Absolute banger by a great band
Enter Shikari's newer albums have some really good production now, much better than the first album
Man Finn saying they cant write songs is just straight wrong lmao, they've progressed so far since 2009.
@@syko.uk. exactly! The latest two albums are perfect albums oh some great song writing.
Even despite the slightly sub-par quality of their first record, the did come up with a lot of really interesting ideas that came together in their later works. And the vocals have gotten miles better
I love that song back then, but listening to their new stuff now making that song feel so outdated lol
@@syko.uk. With respect to Finn, I feel like he's a contrarian a lot of the time, like he has to be the guy to slate a band universally liked to seem like he has an interesting opinion.
Girlfriend was the most watched video on UA-cam at one point and the first video that ever got to the 100M views.
Just shows how mainstream the pop punk/pop rock was
All the Small Things has never gotten old, no matter how many times I've heard it. And even my favorite songs get a little stale if they're over played, but somehow some way, All the Small Things has achieved legendary status in my opinion
Blink 182 gets a bad rap from the punk rock community. There earlier songs were a bit more raw fast pop punk. They opened up for Pennywise before Enema of rhe State blew up. The video outlaatsted many of the boy band videos they were moking back in the day.
They are the ultimate pop punk band imo.
I still think Sorry You're Not A a Winner slaps today imo
It will always slap
it also claps
It’s tied to too many memories for me to forget :,)
Their new stuff is 1000% better than their old stuff.
Fight me.
Couldn't agree more, love their first four albums, you ever seen them live
I think Enter Shikari did hold up. Personally the way I see it. This song is like the bridging gap between the old school Metalcore like Avenged Sevenfold, meets the new Scene Metalcore, with the riffs, breakdowns, and the electronics. As well as the star power involved with the song. You can tell even though it's a small venue, the band is giving it all they got. As well as being involved with the crowd at all times. And on a personal opinion, this was just as important as Stick Stickly because, the song itself can be a bit messy, but it's much better structured than that song by Attack Attack, this sounds so 2006, but not too different from Asking Alexandria in 2008 as well as I see Stars.
They're the only that did, I don't think I ever agree with him on anything lmao
I agree 100 percent! And that’s how you respectfully disagree and state an opinion! So props to that ! And awesome video Finn as always!
@@awol.oper8r Personally I think Finn is right on a lot of things too. Like he did with Avril Lavigne, Blink-182, and The Good Charlotte. Those songs clearly stand the test of time. But I disagree with Emmure, they weren't so good. Nothing that stands out too much from the generic Metalcore bands back then.
Agreed! How can he say this didn't hold up but Emmure did? No way
@@babykittyprincess Exactly. Enter Shikari was actually a step ahead of the rest of the bands and basically inspiring the sound of other bands. While Emmure was just another copy paste of Bring Me The Horizon
Finn “I have a couple stories about this song” McKenty
Finn singing the line "Mother F*ckin' Princess" will be the highlight of my day, without a doubt.
Amongst European scene kids, 'Sorry You're not a Winner' was one of the biggest songs of its time and it kickstarted this trancecore sound which would later become Crabcore in Europe. Without them, the sound would not have taken off as it has, I guess. It may have been Attack Attack for the US, but it was Enter Shikari and later Asking Alexandria for Europe.
Rou's vocals are part of the charm when it comes to Enter Shikari. It seems like you either love 'em or you hate 'em.
Also I'm from the same city as Bring me the Horizon so it makes me laugh thinking about Americans trying to decode a thick Sheffield accent. XD
It’s because they really just sound like a bunch of quite well-off boys from the Hertfordshire suburbs.
They never really shied away from that.
Also, Enter Shikari were a funny band. They weren’t really considered a metal core band at the time. They were more indie-adjacent and in that NME Nu Rave scene.
Is your profile picture Rob Damiani from Don Broco?
@@adamg.manning6088 they have more in common with old school British dubstep than metal-core tbh.
@@kbaptiste28 Yeah I can see that.
I don't even think Count Your Blessings sounds bad. Considering the album is 15 years old and they probably had no money, it's pretty good. It still sounds heavy, just not in a 2021 way, which isn't a bad thing. It sounds unique so it's one of those albums that you can immediately recognize when one of the songs come on.
Sometimes when listening to older music you gotta put yourself in the mindset of how they’d listen back then to truly experience it. They didn’t have the funding for clean and perfect production but I believe that 100% adds to the charm and appeal of the songs.
@@jvnxiie2441 Sometimes a little chaos in metal is a good thing. Clean mixes can work for certain bands but sometimes just letting the band play and not fucking with it too much can be just as good or better.
I don’t think it sounds bad, the production was messy, so were there shows it’s super nostalgic, i would listen to that album on my iPod colour ! They are my hometown boys and I was a br00tal MySpace kid who would go to see them all the time in like 300 cap venues and it was complete bedlam. I member one show someone brought in an entire dead fish and there was just like bits of fish guts and flesh getting thrown all over the place, stage diving by both crowd and band and Oli used to wear hair extensions that would get ripped out. And his dad used to do the merch 😂
@@Just-Michael oh yeah bro no doubt It rlly just depends on who it is and what the sound is intended to be
bmth wasn't even halfway decent back then, it wasn't until they switched to metalcore in 2013-2014 that they got good.
Sorry You’re Not a Winner is still a banger. Most of Enter Shikari songs slaps and I feel like they have gotten more mature with their music with their later material, but I respect your opinion. I would love to see more of this kind of content.
Yeah their production quality these days is fantastic, their last few releases have really been in their own league
Avril Lavigne is easily top 10 white people of all time..
@@taliesinpotter4097 I still jam out to their early material. As a matter of fact, it helps me with my workouts with all of the energy they have. Especially the song Step Up off Common Dreads, which I find to be very underrated.
I have absolutely no nostalgia for this song. Found out about it right after my 16th birthday a couple months ago and it is one of the coolest metalcore songs I've ever heard
@@mightsaveyou yes it is! A lot of Enter Shikari songs are bangers! Before I heard this song, I heard the full album to The Mindsweep in 2015 because I wanted “new” music to check out and one evening, I UA-camd misheard lyrics from this band and there was a misheard lyric vid to this song and I instantly wanted to check out more of their back catalogue.
I bet everyone watching this sang louder than they’re proud of during the “I’m the motherfuckin’ princess” lyric.
I’m 10000% proud of how loud I sang that part. Did I wake up the family? Yes. Do I care tho? Absolutely the _FUCK_ *NOT*
Avril has always been a guilty pleasure of mine
I can't listen to it without singing at the top of my lungs
damn. i still love that Enter Shikari song. lol. not out of nostalgia. I was too old when this came out. seriously. i still think that song hits right.
I think Enter Shikari are massively underrated if you listen to every album they release they are doing something new and different I didn't like the first album but once they found there sound on common dreads they have gotten better and better. Them, BMTH and Architects are all way ahead of the curve its just Enter Shikari have stayed very "English" with it. Just my 2 pennies
Legit, common dreads, flash flood of colour and the mindsweep are 3 of my fave albums of all time.
My favorite is probably "Great Unknown" absolute banger I tell ya
I actually think Rou has a pretty good voice. It's more of an old-timey type of head voice instead of a bratty nasally pop punk voice. More like Sinatra and less like Tom DeLonge. I get why people would find it strange but I like it! It made them sound distinct. That and the fact that they would throw a wider range of electronic sounds than just the typical eurodance breakdown.
That being said, the main reason people dislike them is because they never really tried to fit in the metalcore scene and because the guitar player said in one interview he didn't like Pantera lool.
Haha I’d never heard that Pantera story, makes me love Shikari even more
I wasn’t all that much of a fan of Enter Shikari until I saw them live in LA a few years ago and it was absolutely incredible! They’re energy and performance was amazing and the crowd was super friendly, energetic and by far one of the best set of pits Ive ever been in
Enter shikari is 1 of my favorite live bands ever, their energy is incredible and sorry you're not a winner fucking slaps
Enter Shikari were the first band to ever get to number one with an album without a record deal. They’re from my town and are absolute punk DIY legends. They played 500 gigs in like 2 years and SYNaW was their signature track. They weren’t even a niche back then. I remember taking glow sticks to a FaFF gig with BFMV supporting and everyone was like why the hell you got glow sticks lol
Dude they deserve so much more credit on this channel
@@oops6876 I doubt they would care. They weirdly remind me of McFly in the sense they get no scene credit at all, because they are so mainstream. ES were the gateway for so many people.
You should definitely listen to newer Enter Shikari, they have one of the best live performances now a days, and their music was always ahead of its time!
The editing of you reading the AA lyrics to your stream was fucking top notch hilarity 😂
I LOLd
Listening to Finn say "I'm the motha fuckin princess" is all I needed to be happy.
I still listen to Pray for Plagues. Totally holds up in my eyes.
Anyone who says they don't get girlfriend stuck in their head or sing along in their head are LYING!!! Shit is soooo catchy damn.
I still find myself singing it despite not hearing it for years, it's a banger.
its a great song. Finny is truly cluess
Good Charlotte had such perfect mixes. Eric Valentine was a massively underrated producer. Honestly some of the best mixes of their time
How about a full Enter Shikari video? Even if you’re not a fan of their music/sound, I’d imagine you’d have a lot of respect for their DIY nature. Never signed to a major label, massive pull in the big Euro festivals like reading/leeds and download, all while being a legitimate touring band in the US club scene. The way they did it all on their own with essentially no lineup changes or label backing is pretty awesome.
Not everything has to hold up. They were made at that time that way bc it’s just how it was. I will say that I didn’t get into Enter Shikarki till ‘10 or ‘11, but seeing them live in 2019 was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Amazing live, great interaction with crowd, the crowd went apeshit!! Good Songs don’t get old (early ADTR) but bad songs are always bad (new ADTR)
Growing up, people ridiculed me heavily for listening to BMTH. I think even in the early days, you could see those guys had a strong vision and were talented as hell. Oli was always a cultural chameleon in that he always looks / dresses like someone youth culture can relate too, even now. Instrumentally they always had it, Lee especially. Oli’s lyrics, minus gratuitous 000s woman shaming stuff, were always really satisfying to read and examine.
They should have ridiculed you more heavily
@@zacharykraus2724 yeah, thankfully only middle schoolers take gate keeping and their opinions too seriously
I also used to have to hide the fact I liked BMTH when I was in high school circa Count Your Blessings. I’m around the same age as the guys in the band, and now that I’m in my early 30s, I’m finding that whenever I meet another guy (girls never had to hide the fact they liked that band, saying you liked them as a guy was the metal equivalent of saying you liked one direction or something) who likes metal, they also always liked BMTH. I think it’s clear that everyone liked them the whole time, it just became okay to admit it once you became an adult. Once one person admits they like them, someone else feels safe and can come clean as well. Which makes sense, they do the biggest numbers in all of their generation of metal, it’s obvious that a ton of ppl liked them, haha.
@@WinedandDined27 i was always open about liking them, I had tees of theirs and showed people CYB and SS, but most people just weren’t into that. This was also before everybody went head first into metalcore in the early 2010s. Glad they got the recognition they deserve, even if I’m not into the new stuff myself. Only thing is I will defend There Is a Hell as their top album imo till the end lol
@@ty6633 haha. I actually got a (very big) BMTH-inspired tattoo as soon as I turned 18, I really loved CYB, haha. It was on my back however, so it was easy to hide.
I remember when TIAH… came out and it blew me away. I actually am one of the few fans who love every era of the band. Their sound and subject matter have grown with me and my life every album, they have truly become the soundtrack to my life.
Gonna explain why here, so if you don’t care just skip this paragraph. As I said, CYB was me in high school, so the basic hating a girl for breaking your heart, talking about cheesy metal stuff like the death of firstborns, etc. SS was college age me (and them), getting really into drugs and partying, enjoying a lot of pop music and not being ashamed of it. TIAH was, like Oli, me realizing I was becoming an addict, getting into more eclectic music like electronic (this was before the EDM boom, and before it was even called EDM). Sempiternal came out when I got fresh out of rehab, and by that point I had a huge hunch that the band or at least oli was struggling with drug addiction as well, bc there were lyrics from SS-Sempiternal that were super innocuous to any average listener, but to a fellow junkie I knew exactly what he was saying and getting across. I couldn’t even find forums online discussing his potential drug use due to his lyrics, they were so esoteric that most folks had no clue that nearly every song off of the three album span of SS-Sempiternal was almost entirely about addiction. Anyways, he came clean about his drug use at the AP awards, and I felt vindicated as well. Sempiternal was also him getting into more Buddhist and eastern ways of thinking, while still bashing the religious 12 step methods of recovery (as I did as well. Still don’t go to meetings, been clean for nearly a decade or so now). TTS was him maturing further, in terms of sound, songwriting, and mental state. Him realizing there was more to life than focusing on your dark past and moving on. That was when I finally decided to pursue my (now former) career. Amo and the new record were continued growth, finding out who you are and what it is you’re about, and being able to blend everyone you’ve ever been into who you are now, in their case sonically, and in my case existentially, not hiding from who I’ve been but realizing I’m still that person, and it makes me who I am today. I can’t be who I am right now without having also been who I was ten years ago, or fifteen, etc.
Anyways, I love that band. They aren’t always my favorite on any given day, but they have unintentionally been the soundtrack to my life (keep in mind, these changes and ideas of subject matter came out AFTER I was already going through them, so there was no planning it; id be dealing with something and the band I liked would drop an album that was totally different from their last and somehow EXACTLY what I was dealing with during the whole lead up to that album, honestly kind of crazy). They’re a common thread of music that I listened to 15 years ago and still listen to now.
Edit: also, my vote for their best album has to be sempiternal. I know it’s not the hipster vote, but it was clearly when everything clicked for them. There isn’t a single skippable song on that record. Also, vocally, oli leveled up like five levels. TIAH is by far the worst album of theirs vocally, oli sounds like shit the whole time, haha (bc he was on drugs). There is definitely a level of rawness to it, which I do love a lot, and lyrically it’s also their most raw album for sure (outside of the newer one), but I think sempiternal just took what they were trying to do on that record and perfected it. TIAH is probably tied with Post Human for second on my list.
Thanks for mentioning Biohazard! Seeing them at a small venue as a teenager is why I wear earplugs now and they still hold up. Make for great exercise music too. Love the new stuff you're doing on the second channel, I might have figure out Twitch to join haha.
Love that Enter Shikari song and it was super unique at the time. I get the criticism but still love it.
Enter Shikari's first 2 albums were abit rough, but after that it's pure brilliance tbh.
Avrils rollercoaster trajectory is something to behold in it's self. Salute Finnwick
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me I’d say it’s more like a drop tower than anything
Oh dear God....
Did the Avril gate keepers find me?!
😂😂😂😂
Seriously tho, I meant, The "heights" of her pop punk stardom. The drop during the divorce with Dyrek. The pop driven rise after said divorced. Then a "cooling off" after that and is now re emerging to a new generation currently...
Up and down...
Rollercoaster...
@@tpags7398 😂😂😂😂🤘
@@TheDirtyKenzo oh lol I got you, I have several inside jokes about Avril. Sorry about that one dude.
Dude I’m loving this new content. Twitch schedules can be hard to keep up with so I’m stoked to be able to see the highlights here. It’s refreshing to see Finn in a more open forum.
Thank you!
Oli Sykes on the thumbnail is enough to catch everyone's attention
Not only does Enter Shikari hold up, it's one of the best songs (IMO) from that era.
I haven't listened to any old Shikari songs in 6/7+ years.....they've evolved to such a more mature sound now that the teenage angst is just old and overdone.
Yeah man I remember them when I first joined a small band in highschool guitarist was heavily into them
Enter Shikari's vocals being "bad" but nothing to say about Blink-182's nasally Cali girl whining was a bruh moment for me
@@Ninjamanhammer said nobody with taste ever, now pre sempiternal BMTH, attack attack and asking alexandria are all garbage. the bands that spawned from attack attack members are far better than attack attack ever was.
@@Ninjamanhammer I'm comparing quality music from blink to utter garbage
Blink 182 sucks. The drums are ok but other than that their music sucks
@@justaguyonyoutube LMAO QUALITY MUSIC FROM BLINK HAHAHAHAHA PLEASE TELL ANOTHER FUNNY JOKE
HEY MOOOM THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE BACK ROOM
Rick Beato did a "What Makes This Song Great" & you can hear some of Travis Barker's drums soloed that way. I believe it was episode 1 of that web series.
I listened to that song totally differently after that.
@@villageidiot9867 I'm glad you dig it.
There have been times that I've reconsidered subbing since following you a year ago for one reason or another, however your content on this channel has really made me appreciate you much more.
Thank you!
Good Charlotte still holds up. This video was the last thing I watched before we went to the hospital, for my wife to give birth to my daughter. So all during the labor, that song was running through me head the entire time. That is the connection I will always have with it.
Lol Good Charlotte! The madden brothers are actually some of the nicest musicians I’ve met! It left such an impression, I grew out of them and didn’t care for their music but I couldn’t bring myself to actually dislike the band. Really cool humble guys
I also met them a couple times and they were extremely cool
The story about not understanding “are you coming to the show” reminds when architects merch guy told me the price of a shirt 3 times and I had no clue what he said so I handed him a reasonable amount of cash and he just took it.
I'm from New Zealand and I have never experienced this personally. I understand even the thickest accents from Britain, as well as all the many accents from people whose first language isn't English. I only struggle if a person has really poor English, and I mean really bad. Even then I work through it. I have however had a few Americans struggle to understand me, but only on certain words, as well as slang. Brits and even Canadians have similar slang to us, so it's generally the Americans who trip up on that.
It's weird, living in a small country of 4.9 million, with a unique accent, we get exposed to all the other accents and vernacular a lot, and understand it perfectly. But America is so big, and so American-centric, that Americans don't often encounter other accents, so you have this weird situation where communication is understood perfectly in one direction but not the other, in ostensibly the same language.
Sorry I just love language.
Avril Lavigne is Britney Spears' edgy twin. Good Charlette and Blink 182 are basically N-Sync and the Back Street Boys with guitars. Much love to Mark Hoppus though! May he stay strong.
This was a really fun and nostalgic trip down memory lane. Needed a good distraction today. thank you Finn 🙏
Really enjoying these videos about whether songs held up or not, looking forward to more hopefully.
Just wanna say really enjoying these videos, hearing your little side stories about some of these artists is the cherry on the cake! Thanks bud
Thank you!
The pray for plagues teeth effect drawn on frame by frame in the video is actually fucking sick
keep doing these, they're lots of fun
I love these segments, keep’em comin!
Still madly in love with Avril and this song is a large reason why. I’m not even ashamed of any of that.
just wanna say, love the format love you as a personality and i really enjoy both channels
Thank you!
Love this series!
What’s up Finn Mckenty, I’m everybody.
This series needs to go on forever
It will!
late 90's- 2000's OCDP drum sound strikes again.
Vented snares 😍
The cozy representative did a really cool comprehensive essay on asking Alexandria and the history of this band. It made your commentary on them very interesting to me!
I genuinely love The stories Finn tells. The fact he gives us knowledge on the little things that we wouldn’t know about. Amazing work Finn we truly appreciate you and what you do. Thank you 💯
🙏🏼
vocals worse than fugazi? I take offense to that sir, i very much enjoy the vocals of fugazi.
i feel like i can sing along with them and i not feel ashamed of my voice.
"A collection of riffs"????? Dude shikari has MANY SONGS
I agree.
This WAS fun! Do more please.
I remember one time when I was working at Target, an elderly lady returned a 'Count Your Blessings' cd because she blindly bought it for her granddaughter thinking it was a christian album 🤣
I love the shout out to Joey here, I endorse his plugins no end and he is a lovely guy, much respect
While I agree that so many post-hardcore and metalcore bands were very “riff-salad,” I can’t help but disagree that Enter Shikari was too. Their songs are actually incredibly well-written. “Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here” is an absolutely masterwork of building and releasing tension.
post hardcore was never good though, it was always structureless noise and never resembled art.
@@justaguyonyoutube provide some objective evidence on such a bold claim, please.
@@oops6876 compare amon amarth, a melodic death metal band with actual structure, melodies and rythm with anything attack attack or bmth did and you see a stark contrast in actual artistry/musicianship vs utterly structueless and eradic noises.
@@justaguyonyoutube it’s great that you feel that way, but neither of those bands were post hardcore when they became popular. Also conflating the writing styles of Death Metal bands to post-hardcore bands is comparing apples to oranges. I don’t think the intention of the late 00’s PHC was ever to be artsy, it was just to be fun or angsty.
@@oops6876 they most certain were, they started out as deathcore and did a not so noticeable change into post hardcore(because it's the same thing) then both genres died fast as they should have. I hate elitist mindsets on anything but if you aren't trying to make art you don't make music you make irritating noises. As far as comparing death metal, the question asked was answered perfectly as to how early bmth and attack attack did not make anything that resembled music. Every genre is comparable and anyone who has ever made music can tell you that. I can compare amon amarth to the classic and power metal bands that you can hear very clear influence from even though the genres have tonally different sounds. You can't hear any influence in early bmth or attack attack because they simply had none it was literally just unintelligible and inaudible noises with no talent behind it.
I really enjoy this segment. The stories you have surrounding some of the songs are also very interesting to listen to, which gives you an angle that virtually nobody else could have. Song suggestion for the next video is A Flat - Staind.
Thank you!
“The Last Garrison” by Enter Shikari has gotten me through some traumatic times.
Sorry You’re Not A Winner became massive in the UK. It started off in early 2006 as a scene kid song, but by the end of the year was so well known that the clapping part drove us all nuts 😂 as everyone in the school playground was doing it. By 2007-2008, ES was really popular among preppy kids/norm kids and were starting to get absolutely massive. I’m surprised they’re not bigger to this day tbh and have less than a million Spotify monthly listeners. I think they’re still very popular in the UK but not nearly as much as 10 years ago when they were all over the festivals / radios.
I met Rou and Rob a few years ago and they’re super duper nice guys as well
editing is very on point
"Punishment" is a great track. Actually helped me beat my personal best with pull ups last week.
Lol the edit during the AA lyrics had me laughing.
The reading of the lyrics video editing haha excellent
Love these videos man, wish I had time to check you out live.
Thank you!
Punishment and Urban Discipline as a whole still sounds fresh to me.
Watching Enter Shikari live in a small Club about 8 years ago will always have a place in my heart. Such a great and energetic performance
Girlfriend is peak amv music
I remember seeing a lot of PMV/AMV with Girlfriend back in the day
I’m old… What does that mean?
@@dangolguitartech when people made fan made music videos they used that song
really love this segment
Sorry you’re not a winner makes me remember sitting at the back of the bus with my friends, but trying to look like I was on my own and cool by putting my big headphones on and not talking to them the whole journey
Keep em coming boss!
🥳
"Punishment" is still the jam!
I don't want to live in a world where "All The Small Things" doesn't hold up
I'm sorry but enter Shakari still holds up, just as well as good Charlotte and at the time was legit, still a banger for those of us in our early 30's
I fucking LOVE this series. Huge fan of your content Fin. Keep on keepin on. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😂
Thank you!
I like this format a lot.
I throughly enjoyed this frfr
I totally just watched a few of these videos, i liked the first one... I drifted away in the second video. And i shouldn't have clicked this.
Appreciate you collecting these bangers thou
Never heard of "sorry you're not a winner" before. I paused this video and listened to it. Loved it. 😜
Sorry You're Not a Winner gives me some NHL 08 nostalgia vibes. Still love it.
Enjoyed the video and it took me back to the time in 2009 when my old band opened up for BMTH for one show and to my surprise the band was really nice, down to earth, when I thought they already acting like rockstars or something...
I have a special place in my heart for Enter Shikari, their first four albums played pivotal roles in my adolescence.
I saw McFly (pop rock) band for my 11th birthday and then didn't go to a gig for years until I saw Enter Shikari in 2013 and was equal parts terrified and exhilarated.
They're the only band I've seen three times!
Totally fell off that hype train since their fourth album though.
I can't believe you'd say such such slander about Sorry You're Not a Winner though. It's the perfect blend of the elctronic scene from UK mixed with hardcore.
Their image around that time however, certainly doesn't hold up hahaha
Take To The Skies is an absolute banger of an album and I'll come find you Finn...
All joking aside I do love your content please keep it up, love from Dublin
Nice to see Good Charlotte get some love. I adore them a lot
100% agree with your take on "the anthem". I thought it was cringe when it came out, but it has only gotten better
Love how you played old Bring Me, their deathcore stuff is some of my faves!
I’ve always been into hip hop/rap for basically my whole life. But went through a couple years in highschool of mixing some metal/deathcore/hardcore in the mix. But my friend Ethan was super into anything heavy. I remember the day he showed me Emmure and thought they were so dope. He showed me some good bands. Emmure, BMTH, Despised Icon, Suicide Silence, Iwrestledabearonce, a lot of crab core bands (were from Ohio and a lot of those bands were too), he showed me a bunch of shit. This was back in like 2008-2009. I didn’t even hear Pantera until then. I didn’t listen until Kill Switch or As I Lay Dying until he showed me them. Basically all the heavy/hard shit I liked and listened too he showed me. He would show me the heavy shit and get me into it and I’d show him the good rap/hip hop at the time. We would go from listening to No pity for a coward and then the next song would be Kiss me through the phone by Soulja Boy lol. Or like Kick A Door by Gucci Mane and the next song would be Death Breathe by BMTH. Just all over the place.
I never heard of Enter Shikari, let alone heard that song or saw the video, until a little over a year ago. But once I heard it, it just reminded me of my early to mid twenties, specifically those Victory Records music sampler DVD's that came with their CD's.
I love your points of view regarding music, your stories and everything. I don't agree with everything, I really like what you call riff salads, like Enter Shikari (I LOOOOOVE that song), and that's a part of why I enjoy your videos so much.
I went to Australia in 2007 and Quantas had a Japanese cover of "Girlfriend" in the music catalogue. Still was a bop! 😂
And just the other day, I had American Wedding on for background noise and heard "The Anthem" start playing and involuntary began to bop around. Such a classic!
Biohazard rules, objectively! They're the first hardcore band I ever got into, but even looking past my bias I say they still hold up.
14:50 it was. I forget which one but this song definitely was in one of those movies.
Hilarious. Love this segment.
Oh man, I recommend seeing Enter Shikari live.
Finn please have Spotify open and add a little "current plays" section to each of these vids. You said I'm Sorry You're Not A Winner by Enter Shikari doesn't hold up but it's still got 19 million listens on Spotify. I know current plays aren't necessarily how you judge these songs but it is definitely fun to look at and may change your opinion in some circumstances. After all it's hard to say something is dated when it's packing million sof monthly listens.
Also I live these vids. Your crushing it over on Twitch and glad to see this on your second channel.
“flllyyyyyyyyyyyyy!” ugh brings me back
