RE: Punk Rock MBA - Why YOU Should Listen To Metal 

He's said before he knows of other metal scenes but doesn't care about them

@@Sergio-nb4hj He also said that the European scene was like 10 years behind in metal lmao

Metal and Punk and Hardcore... Yeah that's his biggest flaw by far, he thinks music only exists in US and ignorantly and hypocritically mocks about EU's bands

@@synco1732 he's and ignorant with a big mouth definitely

Yea I never really understood his mocking of Europeans.

When metal flirted with hip hop, elitists hated it. They still hate it.

@@darrieonmoore3609 Fuck what they think. People are allowed to love both and be stoked about a scene that takes the best of both worlds.

@@FairyCRat people can like whatever they want, but that doesn't make poser bullshit into real metal.

@@429supercj I hate that people like you still exist to this day. It's stupid to write a band off as "poser bullshit" just because their instrumention steps outside the traditional boundaries of metal.

@@FairyCRat I said you can like whatever you want it sounds like you like stuff that's not metal and try to pretend it is

Become the knight is such a shitty channel

I don't know why your frustrated tbh it's just music takes. I mean that's just how I see it. Sorry if your upset by this comment but that's just my opinion about how I see it.

Become the Knight is so much worse. The dude eats, sleeps and shits prog and nothing else. The guy shits on tent pole bands in the genre like Black Sabbath simply because they’re not playing in 420/69 time with a million and a half tempo changes. Definition of the insufferable prog fan

@@BringMeTheDisco Except those guys are just sad trolls

Come up and visit the N/W, we have metalheads of all races meeting up in the pit. With some Sir-Mix-a-Lot on top.

I absolutely agree. For someone to be in the scene as long as he has and judge punk by popularity is utterly baffling.

I mean it makes sense he's apart of the business side of music and since he's been apart of the scene for so long he has seen what makes music last in long term. If u want people to be able to make a career out of music you have to a) actually become popular enough outside of your niche audience to make enough money to keep pursuing music b) have to have a steady rotation of new bands being given opportunities to ensure the genre doesn't die out when all the legacy bands disband or have members enter the next plane c) be interesting personality wise or music wise ie if ur gonna sound like everyone else in ur genre at least be charismatic enough to draw attention to your group or if ur not charismatic enough at least have an interesting sound that separates u from the rest of the groups. As much as people may not like it every genre needs at least 2 or 3 bands that break into the mainstream to draw in more people to the genre to then boost up the lesser known more niche bands

Yeah i hundred percent agree with this, trap metal is like nu metal but opposite nu metal is more metal based and trap metal is rap based , they're similar in a way

cool enough a lot of Trap Metal artists are kinda going in the direction of Nu Metal. @@williamsantiago9480

THIS. Another commenter said this and I agree. He's pandering to kids that are too young to get into shows and are just dipping their toes into the "Dark Alternative" community. There's been a trend recently of 40-somethings rising up on RU-vid doing this. They know that these kids don't have any experience IRL, and will just eat up everything they say because they're older than they are. But anyone over 30 knows better.

Finn is a man of so many hypocrisies: -He prides himself on his background of punk and hardcore, yet champions so many of the mainstream music industry mechanisms that his scene actively opposed and rebelled against -He mocks rap metal from the late 90's/early 00's, yet thinks the metal crowd needs to be more open and accepting of trap and other modern rap styles -He recently made a video on doom metal and criticized it for all sound "like Black Sabbath", when he's a fan of slam which is literally an entire subgenre of hardcore that is centered around ripping off a Suffocation song.

you forgot to add "fart-sniffing: to that list lol, he always sounded so pretentious and sanctimonious when it came to metal.

These comments are so teenage white boy 😂

@@filthyidol3206 Go back to California, liberal!

I know very well popularity doesn't mean you have to like it but It's 30 years later and The Black Album has still survived. Can't you just admit you're beat and move on with your life? I mean it doesn't affect your life so why even bother about it in the first place?

@@johnjoefitzpatrick8483 yeah but it is dad rock and made for mainstream and non metal audiences

@@dimitrisanastopoulos8957 So everything mainstream is bad?

"Popularity does not mean good." YES! The fact that Finn opens his mouth to support the opposite of this statement makes me think that he can't be much of a punk rock fan. Genres/Scenes like Metal are not about being 'relevant'. I always assumed this was something we all learned at 13 years old when first got into this scene.

@@johnjoefitzpatrick8483 of course The Black Album survives. Its one of the most popular albums ever, but the albums that influenced thrash metal and death metal and played an important part of metal development were always the first 4 albums.

That’s fucked up.

That's because he's taking advantage of these kids that are too young to participate in their local scene. He knows that he can say whatever he wants and they'll worship him. He attacks and silences anyone else with just as much experience and knowledge because those kids might start to see the truth. It doesn't matter because once these kids get old enough to go to shows and music festivals they'll see the truth for themselves.

I mean I thought he also complimented Black Metal too, this is coming from a black metal fan so I am just trying to tell you how I see it.

Also he’s a right wing reactionary lol. So I wonder how much he really dislikes the nazis

​@@baptizednblood6813same thing with his wife.

even if it does, the underground will continue to prosper my brother

If it is then why does it matter?

Don't worry Trap Metal is not Metal and never will be.

@No One oooo good one

​@No One I think they were actually asking a question though

Certainly low hanging fruit for my argument - in the death metal world anyways. Everyone knows/loves Suffocation - myself included. They definitely could’ve fit there.

the type of take you'd hear from someone who doesn't like metal and never really listened to metal beyond surface level bands. which, you know, is exactly the case with that fucking clown.

Yeah brother! Limp Bizkit!

It's crazy to think but Trujillo is the longest tenured bassist that Metallica has ever had.

@@user-mg8fn1bq9d he's also more talented than the rest of the band combined

I think rap is much more popular than metal nowadays.

All my favorite trap metal producers live in Russia so idk bro

​@matriaxpunk he meant rap produces far more material and music in a short period of time, but people forget about their work much more quickly. Rap songs blow up quickly in radioplay and Spotify appearances, but quickly gets discarded and replaced in 6 months

Yup that's what Finn does.

People who blindly hate on whatever the newer generations are doing are annoying and cringy af. But Finn shows that doing the exact opposite, is equally as bad.

literally showing us his midlife crisis on cam lulz

Hit the nail right on the head haha, good aim

What’s up, fellow kids?

well said

Based

Yeah, I find his videos about the things he actually knows about pretty fine and entertaining but oh boy this dude has no idea about metal.

Hes a punk rocker what do you expect

@@diamondobsession7551 He is not even a punk rocker, he said in one of his videos that he mostly listens to pop music.

@@Hy-jg8ow aaaaaaw wtf bruh thats disgusting

@@Hy-jg8ow in a response to a comment responding to something he said in his video, them calling him out for his opinion on the genre, forgot which, he said he mostly listens to rap, which i cant say is untrue, but i just find it hard to believe. You fall down a rabbit hole and explore it more than usual maybe i do it sometimes, but to change entirely what the main thing you listen to is and its always convenient for an argument, however in this response it was totally irrelevant so. Idk

I think PR-MBA almost manages to make a point there, but he mishandles his own argument and it devolves into a really broad generalization of "metal fans are racist as fuck"

With those types of people, it's always best to just pay them no mind anyway. Metal can be inclusive, but only if the people agree on said inclusivity, at least that's what I've noticed anyway. Hails \m/🤘🏽🤘🏽\m/

That is fucked man, I'm really sorry to hear that. There's a lot of phobic bullshit in metal unfortunately

Metal absolutely has conservatives and racists that can irritate you with their ignorance. I'd never deny that. My issue with Finn is that he pretends Trap is some woke paradise. These guys (including the white artists) say the N word 100 times in every song and Trap metal is the most misogynist music genre to come along in a long time. Finn's a hypocrite.

There's no denying there are quite a few racist metalheads but honestly, who cares. Just listen to the awesome music and try not to engage with the fan base too much if you don't want such encounters.

Me too

He has a curious fixation on pop and hip music trends.

He's a male Erin Mucklow. And the original meaning of punk is slave

As a pop fan, I second this.

Not even close to hiphop in being inclusive. Metal went boring cuz them mfs ain't experimenting anymore. I'm sorry but that's true. It's a stagnant pool that stinks

@@codeytherex5954 you’re just not listening to enough metal, don’t know where to look

He lives in Seattle

@@theogonia1983 he’s actually from Seattle. But of course the northwest is the whitest part of the country. The last death metal concert I went to in Seattle had only one black guy, same in Portland

@@codeytherex5954 metal is supposed to be stinky and stagnant and rotting

Hello there Dr. Robert, I like your musically open-minded comment and noticed that you are a big Beatles fan...just wanted to recommend the legendary band Type O Negative from Brooklyn, NY (US) to you for a listen. They mix a variety of genres and classic eras (60s, 70, 80s, 90s) into their own unique sound...even covered 'Seals and Croft, The Status Quo, Black Sabbath, Santana, and even The Fab Four (Daytripper/She's So Heavy medley). I think you would at least respect them for their creativity in the metal genre and having one of the greatest (and tallest -ha) vocalists with an insane range and delivery. Let me know what you think if you get the time!! -Devon

As a nearly extinct fan of both The Beatles and Extreme Metal I appreciate your appreciation 🤘

Korpiklaani is not extreme metal though, but apart from that you’re right.

@@kasperjepsen2917 Ik, I meant like metal of other kind too.

Never knew he said this. That has to be his second worst take and I don't even listen to prog much. His worst take had to be he did not not get into traditional heavy metal because it is less heavy then bands like Sepultura. That makes sense if he has only listened to punk and metal for 1 or 2 years but this guy has been listening to metal for decades.

For the record, I do enjoy Fin, but MAN! Sometimes the logic of his assertions beg for an intelligent rebuttal. And now I know where to look for that🤘

When you don't know what woke is

These aren't real genres

I can see that

I think his worst self-contradiction is in his video "rock fans are mad at MGK again" In the beginning, he says: "remember, there is no such thing as an overnight success, lots of things that seem that way were actually 10 years in the making." Alright Finn, got it. Later in that same video, he says that rock and metal festivals are too slow to accept new bands, since BMTH are just now starting to headline festivals even though they formed around 2003. WHICH IS IT, FINN?!

That's assuming he ever held that card in the first place

His wife's boyfriend's son's named Jamal

I noticed that same thing.

And as philosophically deep as a t-spoon.

So what? I’m in my mid forties and I love newer and some older music , ageism is not cool

@@JCat-gr2no 1. You didn’t watch the video did you? 2. “Ageism” lol. New buzzword every week.

@@eldritchkaiju5829 1. I wasn't talking about the video and 2. I was commenting on your post that seems to be discriminatory against middle aged folk who enjoy newer music

@@eldritchkaiju5829 I did watch the video

@@JCat-gr2no I wasn’t being discriminatory, Eddy said that he’s in his 30s acting the way he does and I simply pointed out that he’s much older. Must be Finn’s alt I’m talking to , explains the whining

ehh, that shit sucked, just some incel in their parents' basement spending their allowance on vintage records for the collection dopamine rather than talking about the music

Lol...reminds me of the Judgement Night soundtrack. The singer of Biohazard was married to Tera Patrick lol.

Gotta agree with you there, COB gets a lot of undue hate

The album 'Hatebreeder' was such an important album for me as a teenager getting into metal, years after it was released mind you, but I still loved it. If people want to hate on CoB, I couldn't give a shit...that album and their other releases still shred circles around most newer bands/albums from that past 5-10 years.
