Done!
The Atari's " blue skies and broken hearts..." album is soooooooo good!
Hey Fynn! In a next edition, it would be awesome if you could include We Butter The Bread With Butter cover of Big Shaq's Man's Not Hot song haha
As a veteran, I think the only thing we protected was some defense contractors wallet.
At least you're real about it..
It is a bit cringey that people see criticizing of the military complex as disrespect towards the individual members of the military.
With that being said, thank you for your service, and fuck the military machine
Truth. The reason military pandering disgusts me.
To me, supporting the troops should mean keeping them out of combat, and able to be at home with their families, unless they actually are protecting the country from actual invaders or active threats.
Bashing individual soldiers isn't cool, but I'm all for bashing the military industrial complex, which gets so many of them killed or mentally scarred for no reason by offering them hope for opportunities such as college.
And I do think it's fair to say that most anti-war music is directed at the MIC, not the individual soldiers. e.g. "Why don't the presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?"
In that, I'm fine with bands playing for them, and providing some escape and relief to people in a very hard line of work. I'm less fine with the pandering of saying "Thanks for defending our freedom." when the military actions we engage in have very little to do with anything like that.
Thank you!!!
The "Since You've Been Gone" cover by A Day to Remember is epic IMO. I loved the original track from Kelly Clarkson, and I think it just captures 2008 culture in so many ways. I shamelessly love how kinda cheesy it is.
It's just kinda phoned in. It's good! But low effort.
@@TheSalPic You're not wrong. It sort of speaks to how good the original song was. It's a total banger.
I hadn't heard of ADTR when I first saw the video for that cover on Fuse (probably). When the growls came in I remember being blown away, did not see that coming. In retrospect the cover is nothing special but still.
Yea I think it still holds up, but mostly because it's already a great song, whereas even though Cable Car was already a great song too, I think Cable Car holds up even better for them and feels like it could have easily been an original from them.
it is a great song, cheesy easy posthardcore/metalcore song but still good, the original is also great which made it shine so much more than other covers
When a band gets famous because of a cover and that seems to be the only reason most people know them, I call that Alien Ant Farm Syndrome.
Same. It's a shame because the ANThology was pretty solid, the cover just overshadowed everything
Yup, though I have to imagine that a lot of people found out about them like I did, through Tony Hawk's Pro Skater...3, I think it was? Their song "Wish" was a part of that incredible soundtrack and I got hooked on them. I only found out about "Smooth Criminal" afterward.
Movies is a good song but sounding like incubus they were always going to struggle to break into the mainstream with it

@@iTa66 I didn't even realize Deftones did a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover. Was that on the B-Sides & Rarities compilation?
@@Raznab yes it was
Vanilla Ice is a really nice guy. I've met him a few times and he was always friendly and down to Earth. I think he's kind of come to terms with his corny music career and has embraced it. Sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh at yourself.
I wonder if he now laughs at himself for rebooting his career as a nu-metal artist.
if you can't laugh at yourself, you should never laugh at anyone else. a skill that is foreign to many. But still when someone says Vanilla Ice the first thing in my head is : Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go
@@mattschwarz3553 Ninja, Ninja, RAP!
Isn’t he a realtor now?
@@SquishyOfCinder He does a lot of property flipping. He even had a reality show where him and a crew would refurbish older homes in Palm Beach county and flip them for profit.

There is a reason that Slayer's punk covers album sounds great and authentic. That reason is because Jeff Hanneman was the punk essence within the band, and spent most of his formative years in the punk scene and writing punk songs/music. He himself admitted his riffs are mostly punk influenced and that is how Slayer developed the faster playing aspect tied with King and his structure to songs
Comment is legit. If you asked Jeff to define Slayer's sound he would always say it was a combination of punk & metal.
Sick boy is awesome
The Nirvana unplugged album is super good. Highly recommend to anyone
And the Slayer cover album is amazing as well
I remember watching Nirvana's unplugged the night it came out, so good! MTV was the shit in the 90's
Still one of the best i ever purchased
Never heard of it .....
I remember buying that album on a school trip back in like 2004. Incredible album with so many great songs
Bad Company has a special place in my heart. We've got a manager at work who wants to be American so bad, to the point where he's wearing the stars and stripes, punisher skull shirts, and riding a Harley Davidson to work etc
Anyways, I'm the music guy at work and he kept requesting FFDP, so naturally this was the first song I put on. From there, a friend and I started taking the piss, saying stuff like "he probably listens to this and fantasises about being in the military". But as time went on it got more and more absurd to the point we were saying shit like "He's getting dropped out of the ac130 whilst he's riding his flying harley, and he's carpet bombing Isis on his own. He even took out osama with nothing but a copy of 'War is the Answer' and an American flag baseball bat bless by Ronald reagan himself" etc
Anyways 10/10 song for me for all the wrong reasons. I'll still spin it up from time to time.
God tier comment
The more abstract you drive these jokes, the better they get
Perfect wrestling entrance theme song
My Chemical Romance’s cover of Desolation Row is one of my favorites ever.
agreed
I remember watching that Unplugged performance and it sat real weird with me at 8 years old. Kurt looked super depressed. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say.
That Ataris cover is still in my regular rotation, hell of a song.
Also I think ADTR did a better job with Over My Head than they did with Since U Been Gone.
I was thinking the same thing
I actually came here to post the same thing. I think the Ataris cover of Boys of Summer was an excellent cover song, one of my favorites.
That's the difference between "what if they played this song" and "what if they WROTE this song" if that makes any sense.
i think since u been gone was just for funsies and really encapsulates the vibe of the original while that specific pop goes punk vol had a ton of bangers on it.
I love this series, there are so many covers out there of notable songs, that this should be a good recurring topic.
I'd love to hear what he has to say about Of Mice & Men covering Helplessly Hoping by Crosby Stills and Nash.
He's a lot kinder to these covers than the guy on the Rocked channel.
I love the song Bad Company by the band Bad Company from the album Bad Company
Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath off the album Black Sabbath is another good one.
@@lexidarling yeah… but that song is actually good 😂
I can't deny
Ah yes, Five Finger Death Punch, the entertainment arm of the military industrial complex.
At least the musical portion. All the military/war movies churned out by Hollywood are pretty heavily regulated by the military industrial complex. Pretty much open propaganda pieces.
I was in Iraq when 5FDP came through doing a tour for the troops. It was a nice slice of home. I do remember the Zac Brown band come after and everyone loving that as well. It just made everyone forget that they were away from home and family.
Then you got back to droning hospitals and killing farmers and guarding pedo war lords and poppy fileds?
While I absolutely believe that most people join the military with the intention of protecting their country, and families and our rights, I just can’t truly believe that we have the military to thank for the right to free speech.
I just don’t think there’s actually been any real threat to free speech that the military has protected us from. If I am wrong, I would love to be corrected and learn something about history.
The last time IMO was WW2
Because there isnt.
As a vet I can agree with this statement. The only threat is from the inside. Noone was jumping on their camel to take over our land. Last time we had an actual threat was WW2, dont see that changing anytime soon.
this is the same guy that thinks russia is a communist country so “protecting free speech” to Finn probably means “destroying leftist movements” like the CIA propaganda tells him to believe
The military fights for and protects the US, thus protecting the constitution and bill of rights, which falls under freedom of speech. It’s all connected as one.
4:40 what threat to freedom of speech did the civillian population of Fallujah pose to Americans, exactly?
I always loved the way people get super offended by slayer, from my point of view Tom at the very least seemed to be trolling people that take everything at face value, he has stated on numerous times his faith and there is the obvious fact of his ethnicity, it seems that he has always been having a good time out of getting strong reactions just for the sake of it
It always surprises when I find out that some metal bands or members are religious. I guess no one really cares when your music is good.
Tom has been shitposting and trolling before the internet even existed. That's the kind of guy he is
4:40 Ah yes, the american military: definding freedom of speech, in .... afghanistan?
The best covers of Metallica songs that I've ever heard are Sum 41. I saw them do a couple of them live I was fucking blown away. I've never heard anybody else cover Metallica that well
Agreed, they play it spot on.
Limp Bizkit's cover of Sanitarium is surprisingly good as well. Still waiting for the studio version
They bring so much loose energy
The Ataris' cover of 'Boys of Summer' is immense. It's a great song to start with, and then they take it to another level. Not a huge fan of FFDP, but their cover of 'Blue on Black' is pretty great.
I only liked for The Atari’s. FFDP sucks.
I think A Day to Remember’s rock cover of Since U Been Gone didn’t really work out as well because that song was basically already a rock song when Kelly Clarkson made it. Other than maybe the guitars being slightly louder the arrangement was practically identical and since Kelly is one of the best vocalists of all time, there’s really no reason to choose the ADTR cover over hers.
Exactly right particularly with the vocals
I can't believe Finn actually pulled the "using the freedom of speech they have because of the military".
I’m in shock. I always got a “conservative is the new punk” vibe from other shit he’s said lol so I shouldn’t be surprised
@@matthewheskew5859 I've always gotten a very right-leaning, pro-market liberal/capitalism vibefrom him, but I think him saying this is just mostly dissappointing because it's downright stupid.
A very " flags,guns,and jesus" statement ,alright.As a non American,I always found the fetish that a lot of Americans have for the military quite strange.
absolutely wild hearing that from a knowledgeable guy that lived through the “War on Terror/Iraq/Afghanistan” era
Supporting soldiers != supporting war
I'm surprised that he mention 5FDP without mentioning the House of the Rising Sun cover.
They also covered an offspring song
And Blue on Black
pro-military is a cringe stance at this point. Its clear you dont get it, and you haven't engaged in a good faith argument against someone anti-military in like 15 years lmao
By saying anti-military, do you mean “bring the troops home” or do you mean abolish the military?
Cause one position is absolutely reasonable and the second is absolutely stupid and shows that the person holding it has no idea how the world works.
@@egorkhristov2467 99% of "anti-military" people are "bring the troops home", but bootlickers pretend they're "abolish the military" because that's easier than engaging in good faith.
@@egorkhristov2467 bring the troops home and shrink the military to a more reasonable size and use the money more effectively at home. I absolutely respect vets n troops but i certainly wish nobody had to do it for obvious reasons but i dont really respect the institution or its strong supporters
@@egorkhristov2467 oh but also most of them are just racist and facist international piggies soooo, nuance or whatever
Oh god there’s always someone
I think ADTR’s cover still holds up just fine. Specially since the song was already kind of made for a pop punk sound, since it was originally written for Pink. They definitely rocked it.
Yeah, Finn just hating lol.
I never knew it was originally for Pink, but now that I thought about it in her voice it does sound it could be her song.
@@ReanuKeaves1 Which is weird because he reckons that ADTR is his fav band OAT… I thought for sure it would be up his alley at least a little?
@@djsmith1166 Finn has stated in one of his wife’s vlogging videos that anything prior to Homesick by ADTR was terrible.
@@ReanuKeaves1 That bums me out. I hold the exact opposite opinion on ADTR lol
Okay question, I don't respect any military at all, so why do people think military is good in any way? Like whats so GOOD about it? Like what good are they actually doing, that is actually helping the world?
Somehow they are protecting USA's freedom and freedom of speech by fighting on other continents 🤷 I don't really get it.
they like the uniforms
What the hell does the military have to do with freedom of speech?
Exactly
When is the episode for Beavis and Butthead coming?....Also Extremely weird that you grew up a hardcore punk guy but you are pro military....you're like the michael graves of youtube. To me pro military songs are always super lame and 99% of the time are done by butt rock bands like five finger death punch
That "blue monday" cover by Orgy brought back some high school memories.
Thank you! Someone who doesn't hate the "Behind Blue Eyes" cover.
I also agree with The Ataris. That whole "So Long, Astoria" album is pure gold. Did you know that "My Reply" was supposed to be the single to be released rather than "Boys Of Summer"? A mix-up ended up getting the cover on radio.
I love "So Long, Astoria" from the beginning all the way until the end. One of the best and really underrated pop punk albums!
If anyone is curious the Inside Out song Finn plays here is “Burning Truth” and it’s a banger.
To be clear, being anti war is NOT "bashing the military". Not really sure if that's what you meant, it's hard to tell. A lot of bands are anti war. I don't know of too many that are anti military. You're a reasonable honest guy and I do enjoy your vids. I can tell you try very hard to be objectionable. I do, however, find it extremely annoying when people falsely equate a pacifist, anti war stance to somehow disrespecting or bashing the troops.
It was a mistake to include my opinion in the video. I will stick to retro guitar music in the future
@@ThePunkRockMBA If your opinion is that thinking the US fight unnecessary wars is bashing the troops, you're just straight up wrong.
@@ThePunkRockMBA dude I love your content but if you say anything on the internet you gotta expect criticism. This is a lazy way of deflecting without engaging in the conversation.
I love Finn McKenty but hearing him say he’s pro-military is one of the biggest WTF moments I’ve ever had on RUclips
He's mentioned it in a few videos and on live stream.
Lol at the idea that anyone owes any civil rights to the military that was routinely sent to put down protesters who actually fought for those rights
I know right? People with their own opinions is scary
@@simbolicdunksman1746 I’m sorry. when someone starts regurgitating basic, jingoistic propaganda that’s constantly shoved down our throats in America, my first thought isn’t to go “wow, what an individual idea”
@@simbolicdunksman1746 The notion that the military fights for freedom of speech is objectively wrong tbh. It's really not a matter of opinion.
I am surprised you enjoyed the first 3 Orgy Albums. I think they are great albums but have never met anyone who agreed. Still haven't but it's nice to see someone else who thought they were ok.
I agree!
I like them too. Not something I listen to all the time, haha. But I do like the albums.
I love all their stuff
I still listen to their first album regularly. I heard Blue Monday first, then it ended up being my least favorite song on that album. Their 2nd album is ok. Never really got into their third.
Orgy was a great band, their sound was futuristic
“Very relaxing” 😂
NIN cover of dead souls is banging.
That song is amazing
Behind blue eyes is the 3rd most listened Limp Bizkit song in Spotify ...
That Nirvana cover is so god damn good that alot of people, to this day, think its an original Nirvana song and not a cover of a Bowie song.
Starts at 1:55 after the hair loss scam ad
I wish some Americans (not all, I know) could see themselves through the eyes of people from other places sometimes. As a European, and specially as a Spaniard, the whole the military gives us freedom of speech makes me cringe so much. We got plenty of freedom of speech over here and the ones who want to take it from us are some people in the military who want to go back to the times when there was a dictator, so... 🤷 Maybe stick to music.
Thats called american exceptionalism (seriously, search that on google). They always think they're right and better than everyone else, know nothing about the world and of course are entitled to thsi mission of "saving" the world but when other countries do the same shit then that's bad, and are a danger to democracy, when in reality there is not bigger threat to democracy and human rights than the united states. But an ignorant holier than thou dolt like Finn would never know that, because he's uneducated, clueless and unwilling to change
US military has no intentions on getting rid of our freedom of speech. So it’s not wise to really compare them with any European military
It wasn’t clear from what you said whether you live here now or are still a resident elsewhere, but you are a text book example of what I was talking about. Your opinion differs from many, but you have the right to have it here in America. That’s why you expressed it. That’s great. All I am saying it is, whether you believe it or not, there are many people in our military, who are willing to die to protect that right. Since we don’t have the draft, there are many who enter the military for a paycheck. But that is not close to all of them. There are also many gung ho types who just like death and destruction , but the majority I have met believe they are protecting freedom. I’m not asking anything of you but not to assess all soldiers through the same lens. There, truly are selfless people out there who would die for you and me. Whether you believe that or not is your choice, and I respect that. I would just hope that you would respect any soldier who does have such a selfless mindset. They are out there. Thank you for your courage in sharing what might not be a popular opinion. You expressed it very well .
@@craighenry9512 The soldiers aren’t protecting our speech fighting guerilla battles on the other side of the world. WWII was the last time they were really fighting for us, and it is sad so many young soldiers are misled to believe otherwise, marching to their death to fatten the pockets of Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
I wish people knew the history of our Nation before making comments like yours. lol You clearly have no idea why and how our Country was founded.
Pro-military punk rocker? hahahaha
we need Chunk No Captain Chunk's cover of All Star for part 3
Who are the military fighting that is threatening our free-speech? Seriously, who? I want examples.
Sorry but I gotta be that guy. How does the military protect our freedom of speech? Probably the most ridiculous thing he's said and it has nothing to do with music lol.
Orgy were super underrated IMO. As someone who was heavily into cyberpunk-ish aesthetics back then they were an instant favorite. And even as a huge fan of the band I always kinda hated Limp Bizkit's Behind Blue Eyes cover, that Speak n Spell part was corny back then and still is.
About "Behind blue eyes" Limp Bizkit actually took out the most crucial part of the song. Which is about WHY our protagonist behaves the way everybody expects him to behave.
They NEVER played the song in the way Pete Townshend intended it to be.
And it's for that reason why their version of the song sucks!
Limp Bizkit’s version of Behind Blue Eyes sounds pretty similar to the original, I think people just hated Limp Bizkit in general because he seemed like such a try hard wannabe badass.
Jeezus, The Ataris were so good. One of those "heard them on warped tour back in 2000" bands that stuck with me.
I think there's something annoying in how artificial sounding the Limp Bizkit cover is for a pretty unvarnished confessional song. Also Idk who you listen to that makes fuck the troops music as opposed to anti-war music. Probably the single biggest anti-war album of the last 20 years featured an entire music video sympathetically highlighting the sacrifice and heartache of a teenager leaving everything he knows and loves to go fight in a war on the other side of the globe. I don't really see how turning Iraq into the breeding ground for ISIS and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians made anyone in America's freedom of speech safer.
^This right here
Orgy were such a great band. They’re first 2 albums were very good. Still play their first one every now and then. And while I love the Nirvana acoustic album. Another acoustic album that barely gets talked about is Seether’s One Cold Night. Man that album is amazing. And I’m not a fan of acoustic stuff. But there’s just something so emotional and raw about his voice. But I always thought Seether took some big inspiration from Nirvana. So maybe that’s why
Wow Seether's One Cold Night is awesome!! I miss their lead guitarist from that era, I think he quit music all together.
Behind Blue Eyes was from rock opera Pete Townshend was writing involving a serial killer(?), the opera didn't get finished but they recorded the song, it's sung from the main character's perspective.
Some of my favorite covers not mentioned in these videos are
Any Given Day- Diamonds (Rhianna)
System of a Down- Metro (Berlin)
Five Finger Death Punch- Gone Away (The Offspring)
Metallica- Turn the Page (Bob Seger)
Metallica- Whiskey in the Jar (Thin Lizzy)
Dope- You Spin Me Round (Dead or Alive)
Shinedown- Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Maybe we need a part 3?
the gatekeeper that hates others being gate keepers
Bad Company, by Bad Company, on their self titled album: Bad Company. Always makes me chuckle when I see it pop up when I'm listening to the classics.
Similarly to Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, on Black Sabbath
And hellyeah, hellyeah, hellyeah
A Static Lullaby - "Toxic" was pretty fun too.
Should have put in there the multiple ''plugged'' the man who sold the world performances, with loud instruments it also sounded amazing
I never really understood pro-military punk rockers, and I've known quite of few of them. To me the irreverent, anti-authoritarian, punk rock ethos doesn't jive with the bootlicking, unquestioned respect for authority mindset driven into these military guys. Just seems weird to me
Probably is more respect for the ideals and reason most people who serve do so for. Having military family etc. Not for the military industrial complex itself
The original punk “ethos” is such a farce anyway. Especially now days, it’s completely non-existent. Punk rock found its way into the mainstream in the 90s/early 00s and has since been as much of a corporate entity as the military itself.
To be fair, just because the core of military culture is built on a hierarchy and authoritarian tactics doesn’t mean all of us are bootlickers salivating at the idea of being ordered around. There’s a purpose to the logic in that environment and it doesn’t really translate at all in the civilian sector. And I’d probably argue most of us roll our eyes to anyone who 100% buys into that lifestyle.
I say all that to divert back to your sweeping statement about pro-military punk rockers. There’s a thing called intersectionality where people have varying degrees of opinions and not everyone has to abide by the stereotypical punk rock uniform.
@@prophetsatirical8946 I hear you on that. I understand and somewhat appreciate duality in people. I didn't mean to offend anyone in the service, my brother was in the army - probably should've left the "bootlicking" comment out. To be fair, I find a lot of the punk rock "scene" types to be just as conformist, if not moreso than military types. So I guess in a sense, that kind of answers my question about the reconciliation of the two mentalities
@@salopro86 it’s all good, no offense taken here. And you’re right, they can be just as conformist. Same thing happens in the metal scene too, potentially to a larger degree in some ways. Sometimes people just tend to fold their whole identity into one interest and let it consume them. Whether it be cringey affliction military worship types or gatekeepers in the scene.
I think the Five Finger Death Punch covers were good, they just were ruined by being played every hour on the hour by hard rock radio.
The original "behind blues eyes" was written as a song for a rock opera that was created for the villain to sing.
As a hardcore fan of Limp Bizkit, I fuc##ng hate Behind Blue Eyes, because that was the exact moment when Nu Metal died. Curious, but Limp Bizkit brought Nu Metal to the mainstream and they themselves buried it a few years later
A day to remember's since u been gone cover is by far the best cover here and one of best of all time. Just because their originals are better doesn't mean it's a shit cover. It absolutely holds up.
I think their version of Over My Head is better
Over my head cover was way better
It’s better than what he’s giving it credit for. But the Ataris song is probably the best one on this list
I don't listen to much (if any) classic rock so I really love limp bizkit's "behind blue eyes" so much more than the original. I'm not even a big limp bizkit guy. not sure why I like it so much but I've got it in a playlist with some ballads that I like
It sounds so much like the original
Props for having love for Undisputed Attitude - Such a slept on Album by Music and Slayer fans alike!
I personally don't like that Limp Bizkit cover because they left out the part at the end where the song picks up. I know jammy riffs and guitar solos aren't their thing, so it makes sense, but that's one of my favorite parts about The Who version.
It’s not on here, but my favorite cover is when shadows fall covered mark of the squealer by leeway
I love The Ataris boys of summer. It's just a straight up good song.
Crossfaith’s cover of Omen (originally by The Prodigy) was a great genre crossing cover at the time.
I would say two of my favorite covers you haven’t mentioned yet are:
Confide-such great heights (the postal service)
Dream on dreamer-A thousand miles (Vanessa Carlton)
That Dream On, Dreamer cover is so good
That's a pretty naive view of the military and I'm putting it lightly.
That Slayer album was awesome. My friends version has an extra track and I was so jealous. It was Suicidal's Memories of Tomorrow. That whole album is intense. Love it.
It's in my cd player in my car right now . Yes I still listen to CD's , my car and I are old and broke .
@@feck2594
Don't feel bad, I'm still listening to my favorite tapes that I keep in my backpack in my 88 Nissan Stanza. It's on it's last legs. I'm gonna have to say bye to that car very soon. It's gonna kill me.
@@thebrandolorian9037 that's funny, I have a 92 Camry with a tape deck , but have one of those crappy tape to portable CD adapter's you can spend like 25 dollar's on . It's only a matter of times before it leaves me stranded on the side of the road one day. When that day comes I'll probably cry 😂
@@feck2594
I know exactly how you feel. Everytime you get into the car, you hope and pray you make it to your destination (with the heater on and the windows down in 90⁰ weather in my case). But I remember those car stereos where you gotta change the CDs in the trunk. Gotta love those.
When I was like 13, I thought the Limp Bizkit version is the original. I’m european, so that checks out.
Couple cover songs that are amazing imo.
Love the way you lie- a skylite drive
7 rings- chuggaboom
Bohemian rhapsody- chuggaboom
Glad you came- we came as Roman’s
Animal- INK
Lmao name one time since WW2 the military has "defended free speech"
David Bowie had high praises of nivana when they covered it, he even at one point said Kurt did a better version.
You know what cover album doesnt suck?
Four Year Strong's "Explains it all".
Bringing high energy to so many 90s hits.
Few tips if u would be bored... Try those
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (Nena)
Yellowcard - Everywhere (Michelle Branch)
Neck Deep - Torn (Natalie Imbruglia)
Blink182 - Another Girl Another Planet(The Only Ones)
Bowling for soup - Stacy's mom(Fountains of Wayne)
Weezer - Take On Me(A-ha)
OK Finn when has the military defended our right to speak?
The Vanilla Ice to Nu Metal transition almost reminds me of MGK to Punk Pop... Hmmmmm...
"Behind Blue Eyes" was originally one of the songs made for the "Lifehouse" rock opera, a project that sadly never got finished as it was too lofty an ambition at the time. So the project was scrapped, and the Who instead made "Who's Next", widely considered one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time. So the lyrics are really part of an overall story that was never released, and not a band on the road song.
Also, the Limp Bizkit cover might be hated because it was on "Results May Vary", a terrible album for multiple reasons.
And on the subject of nu metal, I think that Vanilla Ice album is great. He lost a lot of fans after the Queen debacle, as he rightly should have, but he bounced back in a way. He did the nu metal style well, and gained a surprisingly sizable fanbase. It wasn't the best of the genre, but it was pretty good.
Man, the Ataris were criminally underrated.
TIL... That song is a cover
For part 3 of this series, can you talk about Ice Nine Kills covers, I think their pretty good
Why on earth would you be “pro-military”? That’s some real cringe.
We don’t have freedom of speech because of American imperialism bro.
Yea that part was a little unnecessary/pandering to his wide/mixed audience. As someone that grew up in hc/punk I’m sure Finn’s opinions are slightly more sophisticated than he’s letting on. All the same, cringe
Not only that but the chud, pro military jingoist worship that FFDP exploits, that really took hold after 9/11 has nothing to do with free speech or our freedoms being in any kind of jeopardy. Also also....you can "support the troops" and be against sending young men and women into bullshit wars over oil and money.
Boomers gonna boomer
Yeah, it was a mistake to share my opinions. My audience doesn’t like that. They just want to hear about music they liked in high school.
Imperialism is decided by government. Not military.
Stoked Finn likes the Orgy cover of Blue Monday more than the original, I always thought it slaps since I had it on a Kerrang CD as a kid, also always thought it was better than the original, also as someone who kinda likes Nirvana but isn't obsessed by any means I FULLY agree with Finns views on Nirvana unplugged!
Authority Zero’s cover of Mexican Radio is probably my favorite cover. Also MxPx’s cover of Kids in America is pretty good
So cool to see someone else who loves Undisputed Attitude! I especially enjoy the opening song but the entite album is awesome! At least a 9/10
That album really turned me on to hardcore punk
boys of summer
So, the video for Bad Company for Five Finger Death Punch is actually all footage from when they traveled to Iraq to play live shows for the troops. And the awkward footage of them training to clear a hallway was just some ad hoc training that the Army put on for them as a way to say thanks for coming out here to support us. I'm not a huge fan of their music. But in the year I was over there they were the only rock/metal band that came over. They even told us that they had asked some other metal bands they knew to come with them, but they all refused to go because Iraq is dangerous and they were scared.
I really appreciate your take on The Ataris. They are criminally under mentioned and underated.
I liked the Limp Bizkit cover of Behind Blue Eyes when it first came out, not so much the second half, but first half was good. And then I heard the original... Which was way better! So as a cover, it failed. My standard for a good cover is just to make it better than the original and this didn't.
Blue Monday by Orgy is a great cover! They did have a few alright songs but this is their best. Better than the original, I still enjoy hearing it. Great song! No shame to New Order in their original, Orgy just took a good song and made it better.
I have listened to Nirvana Unplugged more than any other album that has ever been made. I cannot express how much I love this album. It's a big yes for me that Nirvana's Man who sold the world is better than David Bowie's. I mean no disrespect to David Bowie in that, he was a great musician. Nirvana Unplugged, for me, was absolute perfection and I freakin love it!
I'm now going to check out Zack's hardcore stuff. I didn't know he did hardcore before Rage and I'm excited to go check it out.
I never had you pegged as being into Orgy. I love that cover version. I played it at the last office winter party and it got people dancing. I still really enjoy the first album too. But could never get into the later stuff.
The reason The Ataris never had another hit was because Kris decided he didn't want to play pop punk anymore. I hung out with some of his (ex-)bandmates quite a bit around 2004 - 2006 and they all told me the same story: Kris wanted to be an artist and do indie-rock; that's fine, but I bought Ataris albums for pop-punk and obscure Weezer covers, not for mandolins or whatever other indie stuff fascinated him.
I gotta say, as I much as I respect Slayer, that Minor Threat cover really left a sour taste in my mouth. Intentional or not, the lyric change really changed the song's meaning for the worse
Finn, I started watching/listening to you a few months ago. I have blazed through your playlist and still have a lot to go. I’m a chef and play 3 or four, if not more, of you videos while I prep. I’ve yet to come across one I didn’t like. Oh sure, bring a metal head, I’ve disagreed with you from time to time but that’s ok. You got me thinking on other avenues. My favorite content are your Twitch videos. “Gotta check that drip!” Keep it up man, your content rocks!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
@@ThePunkRockMBA You’re most welcome!
Hell yeah brother!
Volume 3 Recommendations:
Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar
Framing Hanley - Lollipop
Marilyn Manson - Sweet dreams
Trent Reznor - Immigrant Song
Guns and roses - Knocking on Heaven's door
Since U Been Gone totally holds up to me! I love it, still jam it with my buddies any time we plug in.
Finn is pro military
I support the people in the military, not necessarily the orders they are given
@@ThePunkRockMBA Yet the people in the military follow have chosen to follow those orders. Can't fix a broken system from the inside.
@@ThePunkRockMBA your channel is great. you don’t have to interject how much you love law enforcement and the military whenever the opportunity presents itself, you’re not running for office or (hopefully not) trying to land a gig on Fox. Free speech isn’t the product our trillion dollar a year military budget, I know you know better than this
Fwiw I’m a veteran but also grew up in the 90s DIY punk/hc scene same as you. I know your opinion is more nuanced than you let on but come on…
And so what?
I saw Vanilla Ice last summer and he closed with a straightforward cover of "No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley. It was... fine.
Got a few suggestions for the next vid.
Type O Negative's version of "Summer Breeze", Skindred "Electric Avenue" and Motorhead's version of "Heroes"
You should do one the other way, pop artists covering punk and rock/metal songs.
2 notable ones I remember, but not for good reasons, were Take That covering "Teen Spirit" and All Saints covering "Under the Bridge"
You should do a video covers that are better than the original. My picks (even tho no one asked) Orgy - Blue Monday (New Order), Type O Negative - Hey Pete (Hey Joe The Leaves) Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young), Day Tripper (The Beatles), Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush), Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (The Eurythmics), Cradle of Filth - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden), The Ramones - Needles & Pins (The Searchers), Sid Vicious - My Way (Frank Sanatra) & of course The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan) and I’m sure there’s a bunch more escaping me atm.
