"LEARNING TO LIKE METAL" (Finn Mckenty reacts to Mic The Snare) 

This is gotta be a joke playlist, right? A Punk Rock playlist without a single Punk Rock track on it 😂

inb4 the next video going ''people are so mean making fun of [poptimsit band+fans], unfair

Finn this looks like something a schizophrenic person would put together. Nice

Need some deep guttural metal with heavy breakdowns

I respect your hustle but you have to drop "what not" from your vocab. It's a verbal crutch. Constructive Criticism. Do you, though (my crutch)

And no one hates metal fans more than metal fans 🤣

There actually came a time when a metalhead said Metallica isn't metal and I'm like wtf?

And some dude went apeshit just cuz my favorite metal band is Kyuss and he be like "not all distorted music is metal you poser" lol

@@zackzallie8735 I am not a Metalhead & even i know that Metallica isn’t Metal.

@@shspurs1342 How are they not? Ride the Lightning? Master of Puppets? So they're jazz? Just cuz they're heavier shit out there doesn't mean that Metallica isn't metal

Lmao same here man. I love Finn but he constantly say shit that makes my eyes water from hurt.

Agreed, I think he is a closet metallica fan.

We need a legit metal version of Finn (someone just as funny and not too serious). I'd still watch em both but Finn definitely isn't someone to watch if you wanna hear conversations about actual metal.

I love Metallica! Hero of the Day, Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven 2, some of my favorite songs!!

It kinda weird the way he calls them bad or “ not great “ to be nice 😂 not because of the opinion itself , but because he says it like it’s a 100% fact and laughs if you like them 😂 but thinks Katie Perry’s better 😂 I look like a salty metallica fan I gotta stop 😭 it’s kind of how I feel about REAL punk and classic hardcore but it’s something he loves and is a huge part of his identity . So it just shows the way we’re all different . It’s pretty cool honestly . Something each of us love so much can be looked at in the completely opposite lite by the other person. Can’t believe I just typed this on a finn video but shows how much I love my music 😂

Well said

Very close to the extremely toxic Star Wars and video games fan bases 😂

i really prefer metal stay out of the mainstream because thats where the cheapening happens. i dont want to go to concerts to listen to pre recorded tracks, i dont want everything to be autotuned to the point where its harder to understand than haarp or gorgoroth (horns to bands that dont publish their lyrics). i like old school country but modern country sounds like crap, it went from the very human kind of stuff like what a bunch of moonshiners would play around a still while its bubbling out the booze, in the woods with no electricity, to a very urban poppy sound. not only has it suffered the same cheapening of the mainstream genres but it has become so ideologically monotonous. thank lucifer we have hank iii singing about white trash, drug abuse, and bad women (sorry hank iv fans, i cant get into it). you dont see classical music using pitch correction for a reason.

Yeah, although indie crowds definitely vary a lot. Bands like Animal Collective can draw some absolutely unbearable people but the people that I've seen at The National concerts have been pretty nice

Or read

They know Facebook

Good point

I'm pretty sure everybody knows how to use the internet nowadays

Because theyre too busy drinking booze and getting laid

That is surprising. They are one of the biggest metal bands ever

Good call!

Did you know the Slipknot does all of his own stunts?

@@JohnBiddleMusic personally I don't consider them metal I consider a little something I called slash your wrist kill your mum music it's OK if you like them that's fine I just personally am not a fan of them

So funny

I own that shirt!!!!

He joking with a guy in the comments it was sarcasm 🤣😂

its a joke, Einstein

Replies telling OP “it’s a joke” is some real irony lmao

@@DigitalBath306 it’s a joke, einstein

@@DigitalBath306 the schrodinger’s idiot excuse. Or maybe projection.

Was thinking this as well, hope he takes all the time he needs but I'm definitely already missing his videos

Why did he leave? I literally just subscribed because of this video

@@FutileGrief his father passed away. He said he'll be back eventually but that he needs time away to grieve

@@karicherrycola oh dear. I'm sorry to read that :(

Hehe yeah, I remember thinking that they forgot to add distortion to the guitars😋

Also avenged sevenfold bat country

Context. For it's time it was real heavy. And if you distort the guitars and drop the tuning the stuff on Killers in particular is pretty heavy. Now you really want contrast? Molly Hatchet. Album cover is a viking going to pillage and kill and the music is literally a more bland Lynyrd Skynyrd. Same with Meatloaf. Motorcycle flying out of hell with bats and fire and its just Rocky Horror

The first 12 are honestly all really quality.

Thanks. I´ll check them out

@@TheDefton87 check out 12tone too if ya haven't already. He does a lot of great breakdowns on songs and music in general!

Hivemind also good 😁

It's hard to believe anyone could think this was funny by any stretch of the imagination

What about brutal country music?

Add some Butt Rock and Schlager and you'll have everyone's new favourite genre.

Exactly

@@FinnMckentyPRMBA As a young kid, I was terrified by the Maiden/King Diamond posters on my neighbor's wall, but when I finally heard them I was shocked at how corny and un-scary they actually sounded.

Dude, dude....DUDE. Late 70s/early 80s metal is THE BEST metal!

@@MrMikewright1980 "I was shocked at how corny and un-scary AND F**KING AWESOME they actually sounded" FTFY

@@klauswigsmith I like a lot of it now, but as a teenager who was already into much more brutal music, I was not a fan at all.

Mostly true

There is nothing good natured about this dude. He is as mean as they come. He would push any band under the truck to make views, plays , money at any cost. He likes all the scene assholes , to him , if you create clout and visibility , you are awesome. That's why Fronz to him is a great person while being shitfuck turdbag nobody. This dude has 0 interest in Punk , or Metal or anything. He just regurgitates things because it is his job, and he is connected in the music industry, that's how he earns money.

Yep. He pushed all of my buttons in this video but I can't stop watching.

I can't really blame Finn for having an axe to grind wit metal fans in general, tbh. Every comment section is a civil war.

@@DeadEndFolliesTube Honestly dude every comments section on every video on YT is like that these days :(

​@@DeadEndFolliesTube I watched him praise Avril Lavigne, MGK , all myspace scene, trap shit of these days , pop and literally everything that makes no sense. We don't need a civil war , we need uncivil war. Find out what shows he will attend and push his shit with a baseball bat. "well you could just not watch his channel"/ yeah and people could have ignored hitler at the time but they didn't so yeah.

☺

Agreed! I found Finn this year and think he’s hilarious.

@Define The Great Line Fan Account [2-1] pelted

Finn is going to open all major 2023 rock festivals, so the organizers know it will draw a full (angry) crowd from the start. For try-outs, Finn will be the support act of random black metal and weebly weebly bands this winter!

@@injusticesystem5685 yes, i heard about that. He is in the process of having a full suit of armor blacksmithed for this reason

And the best thing is taste is subjective, no one can prove otherwise.

They’re all so good!

Challenge declined!

@@missvincent7017 Fr

company no likey , not enough merch sold , not enough gay emo hair swiveling in the videos.

@@imgdispatcher6524 are you 12?

IDK man, Stormtroopers of Death isn't what I would call a starter band.

@@Jake-sw3ss you’re right, but I wish it was. SOD is a great example of thrash.

💯

Same

Yea, was surprised to see Finn react to his vid. Different types of content creators, but enjoy them both when it comes to talking about music.

"Lydia MacIntyre" For me, I started off with 2002-2007 Avril Lavigne which then got me into Green Day, Linkin Park, Evanescence, blink-182, Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, SOAD, Sum 41 etc which then got me into BFMV and A7X which led me to BMTH who got me into Metalcore and Post Hardcore.

The hair metal bands who debuted in 1987-1990 were basically pop bands.

​@@ryanjacobson2508 yup most hair bands were pop rock but were called metal because it was a marketing buzz word. The exceptions to this were Twisted Sister, WASP, some RATT, and some Motley Crue. Most were more influenced by Aerosmith than they were Sabbath

My audience is mostly into metal so that’s what I talk about. I had a lot of fun making this video!

@@FinnMckentyPRMBA Hey man, thanks for responding. I appreciate it. A lot of creators don't. I know you're conscious about giving your audience what they want. It's just the past few months its starting to show that this scene isn't what you're about anymore. And I couldn't care less. Im cool with that. I could be wrong, of course, and just be protecting. I guess what I mean is I'd rather you fearlessly be yourself and piss everyone off then give your subs what they want. And mind you, this is coming from a 40 year old metal head. I've been in this scene for over 20 years. Metal is my shit. But I do see it absurdies and the comedic values. Either way, good luck, Finn. I'll still tune in. See ya, man. Mike.

It's nerdy music for nerdy people, but it doesn't have to be anything else tbh lol

I agree. If being heavy is your only factor in if a song good or not then you are just limiting yourself. Maiden are excellent musicians and Bruce has one of the greatest voices of all time.

*quite

@@matturner6890 quit*

Aged equally it was just never incorporated into the genre but other shit did.

Same bro. Same.

This is more relatable than I'd care to admit

This is depressing and so true for me too

You nailed it!

Motionless in sh sh sh shite

Motionless in Shite more like Motionless in Awesome (they are a great band)

@@skipdiner9972 damn I thought you were being sarcastic hence why I dissed MIW. Fair enough, to each their own, they’re defo not my thing

@@Zafire94 That's fine :)

Doom metal sounds like a lack of ambition.

@@nolanwilliford8881 Bro nothing says “ambition” like my band Marijuana Wizard’s upcoming album “Stoned Mammoth of the Devil”

😯

I first heard brave new world and the theme and atmosphere really took me away. I could see hearing an earlier album and thinking “so what” though

No criticism intended! He seems cool!

@@FinnMckentyPRMBA I know you weren’t criticising ;) I just want you to watch that vid, I think you’d love it!

I’ve been called a poser because I prefer Sabbath and Metallica to newer metal because I’m not doing deep dives into new music, so seems like you’re a poser if you do or don’t

Deafheaven got me into black metal from growing up in hardcore. Beach House is a God tier song.

@@howtodrown I think you meant Dream house, and it's one of my favorite intro tracks on any album. Deafheaven's ability to mix sounds that are really beautiful with sounds that are really ugly is something that I haven't quite heard done by anyone else.

It didn't impress me upon first listening to it, so I put it on the back burner...I've been meaning to give it another chance but haven't gotten around to it. I've been into black metal for well over 15 years and I was hoping for fresh take on a genre that had became stale and boring. I personally couldn't care less about the 'hipster' image...if anything, the corpse paint, tight leather pants and homemade weapons were the things I always cringed at and wish didn't exist.

They're actually not as big as you think!

u NEEd tHE riGht STrAin BROOOO

It just sounds like if Radiohead was composed entirely of so-cal inland empire bros.

Agreed! I'm not telling anyone to stop liking anything. Also I saw Armored Saint in 1991 I think with Suicidal Tendencies.

🎵 YOU KNOW IT'S STATE PATROL 😂

my friend always used to call it 'sand patrol' in college lmfaooo

Hah! My lil brain heard "SAD PATROL". I was like, they sound pretty mad for being the supposed "sad patrol".

It's not about the heaviness but the high energy, dual guitar melodies, lyrics, and imagery. Every Swedish Death Metal band is influenced by them mostly because of the dual guitar melodies, At The Gates included. And they are a very catchy band. Plus Bruce Dickinson has a huge stage presence. He is jumping and running all over the stage and interacting with the crowd. I wouldn’t start with Wasted Years. That's their experimental phase. Try Number of the Beast, Two Minutes To Midnight, Fear of the Dark, Killers, Aces High, Run To The Hills.

@@doublewhat07 i involuntarely listened to their entire catalogue, a gf I had was a huge fan and put their albums all the time, Paul the 1st singer was the superior singer imo he had a punky vibe but you totally missed the point I just don't like them, never will, ofc they have my respect but their music is bland, no edge whatsoever, you missed the point dude

@@doublewhat07 Two Minutes to Midnight has me aching for GTA Vice City V-Rock

@@gasmaskestore8018 Iron Maiden has an edge. Youre not paying attention to the lyrics. They sing about killing babies in the womb in 2 Minutes To Midnight. Blood flowing on self titled track. Fear of the Dark is scary because it can happen in real life. There are people who have that kind of phobia. Plus walking a long dark road not knowing what's ahead can be uneasy. How about the song Killers which someone stalking you. Plus they sing about history especially about war, which in itself has an edge. Hell alot of their songs are scary because it did happen in real life. If Iron Maiden had vocals like Cannibal Corpse then no one would be thinking that they didn'thave an edge. Slayer sometimes has the same problem. Maiden is scary because they came out during a time before thrash and outside of Priest and Motorhead, there were nothing like them. 1976 is when they began as a band. 1980 first album. They are not bland. They got one of the best bassist in the world and their riffs jam and blow speakers to 11. They don't sound like death metal or thrash metal. Well duh... since that is the issue I'll give a contrast... How about bands who sound scary but dont sing about scary stuff. My example is Mortification and the song "Scrolls of the Megolloth"? It's old school death metal with all the usual blast beats and tremolo riffing. Imagine hearing how scary Mortification is. You listen to them as a kid thinking they are cool but as an adult, you finally read the lyrics, and find out that all they sing on that song is the Bible and how awesome it is to read it!. Yep Christian Death Metal from 1992. Scary stuff just watch the music video. Its awesome. Makes you think you're that the world is ending. If you compare them to Iron Maiden then who is edgier? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C3TibfE0boQ.html

@@doublewhat07 imagine being this triggered about somebody on the internet for simply disliking Iron Maiden...
